A short erotic office-based story. If that's not your thing, don't read on.
Yeah, I thought you would.
-
Oh,
you've been bad. You shouldn't have done that. Not on a weeknight.
Especially not when you've got a meeting the next day.
But,
fuck, it's tempting. A whole bar. Mostly students. The manager and
the DJ know exactly what they're doing. Cheap alcopops. The birds
love 'em, and after the first few bottles they'll do anything to get
more for free.
Anything.
Or,
at least, you like to think. They're easy, but you still didn't get
anywhere for some reason (possibly because you drank a few alcopops
yourself bringing out the leering pervert in you), and you woke up
alone five hours later, to both radio and phone alarms blaring.
You're now sat in this mind-numbing meeting trying to prop your eyes
open, oozing last night's excesses.
Focus.
Look at your manager. Oh God, why does she have to be fit too?
“Just
a few jobs to dish out today,” she says, sifting through stapled
sheets. She says something about a park and a poster.
Wait.
No, don't look at her. That blouse is making you think things again.
You
take an assignment sheet, making your contribution now, to show
people you're with it. Don't
let your eyes drop. Loosen your collar and cool off. Straighten your
tie to hide it. Listen to the conversation; don't think about those
girls. Don't picture them on the podium, in their little denim
skirts, bending over and-
A
handful of paper passes in front of your eyes and you try not to
flinch. You look up at your manager from across the table. Strike
one. She's noticed you're
half asleep, but she's pretending she hasn't.
Fuck,
you think. You wouldn't be
in this shit now if it wasn't for that DJ. You'd have just gone home
if he hadn't have made them do it, made them kiss and touch each
other, made them glance out to the audience where you were standing.
They
even looked right at you. Like your manager is doing right now, only
without the scorn. Strike
two.
Your
colleague is speaking, the middle-class marketing bloke with a long
commute every day and a fiance waiting for him at home in the
evenings. You glance at him, like you've been paying attention all
along.
“We're
still waiting to hear back from them on that,” he says. You hear
him say “leaflets”.
Stay
tuned for now. When you get home, you can think about this all you
want and you can crack one out, get it of the system and catch up on
sleep. You can imagine you're the DJ. Oh.
You want this champagne? You're going to have to show me a little
more.
The
girls lift up each other's tiny denim skirts, looking at you, and
French kiss. They spank each other, hard, a smack
that you can hear the
over
your music, piercing the fast-paced, tuneless track. They show off
their thongs, grope each other's breasts, push their cleavages
against each other.
Please,
Mr. DJ. Give us your sweet champagne.
You
show them the bottle as one girl buries her face in between the other
girl's breasts.
Keep
trying,
you think.
But
something isn't right: the bass has dropped out on your sound system.
You don't understand the audio deck, which isn't actually there- all
you can see is three squat coffee tables pushed together. All you can
hear is the snare of- of-
Of
fabric being stretched.
Your
trousers. Your hand in your pocket. Your own tugging. You stop, and
start to shrink, in more ways than one.
Your
colleagues- your married manager, the recently-graduated pretty
assistant with the meathead boyfriend you hear of- the pregnant girl
who has to slouch a little- they are all silent, looking at the
floor, scarlet faced.
Strike
three. Oh, you've been bad.
