it was a little game they played

discovered quite by accidentinteresting what can turn up between a couple of voyeurs

she said he started it

No you started it by walking offleaving me to my devices you know you should never leave me to my devices

maybe they were both right

                             but she played along and they were happy she did he did

she had a small place a one bedroom galley kitchen full bath shower and tub 

because the door opened into her bedroom from the diningliving room she mounted a fulllength mirror on the door facing into the room

walking into the apartment it looked bigger for the mirror and then bigger for the three other mirrors she spaced on the wall beside the bedroom door

You like my optical illusion? she asked

he had her turn threehundredsixty degrees before each before telling her he did

I hung the mirror on the door so I wouldn’t have to go into the bedroom, shut the door, to check out how I looked before leaving home.

The other three

I liked the space the first created.

he kissed her at the apartment thresholdher back to the mirrors he liked the five hersthe five of him Here you look he said as he turned oneeighty

Ohmy, look at us. We could have an orgy.

one evening after drinks at a small bar they enjoyedjust a couple of drinks over a couple of hours they always had a lot to talk about they walked over to her place lit candles in the front room and bedroom and bathstirred not shaken lighting noshed on cold chicken herbal cheese pumpernickelbread split bombers of Imperial Coffee Stout Eagle Rare tastes Bob Marley behind them played Cut-Ups with several books apiece and discussed that they might mean after they shared them aloud

Nin and Miller always got the better of them

she excused herself coylykissing him softlysensually Think Ill slip into something more comfortable  they chuckled at the patent lineamused themselves

Yes Please Im anxious to see your comfort

she entered the bedroom through the open door and from where he sat he could see her reflectionher back as she stood beside the bed before the mirrored dressercould see her face as it quietly workedmused over what she would wear

she began unbuttoning her blouse

                                  unbuttoned it hung openher blouse to either side of her breasts cupped in a sheer bra

she touched herselfher breasts with her palms they were bigger than her hands

she turned slightlyunzipping the skirt at her hip and let it fall to the floor

carelessly she kicked it off to the side and stood before the mirrorher legs slightly parted

I love you she called out to himblindly looking in the mirrorconsumed by her imaginings her hands falling to her thighs

he smiled I love youhoneybunny

                              doused in the cold water humour of Pulp Fictionreturned from her soft miasma to the hereandnow she burst into laughter 

he laughed with her

she laughedshe didnt cover her mouth

                                          when her eyeswetted with happy tears could focus again she saw him in her dresser mirrorin the mirror on the bedroom door

his pants were open

he slowly stroked his erect cock

she watched

he watched her watch

Baby take off your panties now  slowly

she did as he told her

she watched him stroke his cock

Take off your bra ever so slowlytease me

she did as she was toldshe watched him stroke his cock

One step back now lean forward on one hand  play with your tits

Yes.

she watched him strokeplay softly with his cock

he swallowedlicked his lips I want you to play with your pussytease yourself tease me

her nipples wanted her to touch themthey yearned swollen piqued   she struggled  she watched his eyes watching her eyes her breasts her ass

Touchyourself for me

she was mesmerised she watched his slow stroke  slow stroke  slowly

she stroked and fingered herselfpinched herself

when their strokes matched  he quickened hisshe quickened 

he backed offshe backed off

he read her face

she bit her lap

I want you to nod if you want me to fuck you

she shook her head

he quickened his strokeshe quickened her

I want to fuck youYES she gasped

Yes

Yes.

Yes. Fuck me. 

he stood up still stroking his cock

she watched his cock in his hand

he slipped out of his pantshis underwear  carelessly kicked them aside 

he walked in line with the mirror towards her

he stripped his shirt up over his headstill stroking his cock

he stood at the threshold to the bedroom framed in the mirror Turn Get up on the bedon all fours

she gasped when she quit playing with her pussyturned quickly not wanting to lose sight of his cock his eyes she crawled up on the bed

in the mirrors in the flickering honey candlelight he could see the sheen of her wetness buttersheenbeaded juice on sliced melons peaches on the insides of her thigh on her ass 

Crawl forward to the edge of the bed

her breasts swayedtantalising as she crawled

I want you to suck . .

. . YES she gasped

Yes

Yes.

Please

Please.

Please what

Please let me . . .

                      they pleased each other all night

a broken tooth a molar lay on the filthy steep concrete steps that ran alongside the Community Church  they provided access to and from the parking lot at its rear 

dried bloody spittle laced around it

                                     as if the molar was a heart and the spittle its vascular system

the church was the first in the community a pious white community an upstart utopia beginning as nothing more than a tent city 

he supposed a lot of utopias flourished in the West  in California 

if he were to start a utopia hed pick an island 

it could be conquered but it wouldnt be infiltrated 

at least not without his consent

the railroad bypassed it

he guessed the founding fathers wouldnt ante up the bribes but they were armedimbued by God  they could kill righteously to protect what they had God works in mysterious ways

the Church was in the Old Cityhe lived in the neighbourhood above it and contained by it 

he took a shortcut across Church property to walk into town for groceries or go to the library the bank the liquor store the theatre 

if he used the Church as an epicenter within a halfmile radius there were five other churches

he supposed church and cancer had something in common

he didnt know what to make of the molar and bloodit happened there at the foot of the steps blood appeared in spatters along the sidewalk leading awayhemmed in between the church and a brick retaining wall  

the spatters didnt wobble they fell in line

he supposed whoever lost their tooth lost the fight  they didnt leave on their own

ahCommunity

              Kesey  You’re either on the bus or off the bus

All-One                                        

All-One

well  he wasnt 

              anif confronted theyd dance  

his father left him his sap and knuckles from his insurance collection days in Miami

he said he was fleet of foot even on leather soles he never had to resort to them  

but evidently he saw in his sons eyesdespite the boy being faster than him hed make a stand 

when he gave them to him he said  Everyone should have a little insurance, son.

he appreciated his fathers utility and ever since he was put off by sons who mumbled sentimentally about mementos their fathers left them

he paused at the foot of the steps fingered his mouth nope it wasnt his molar one would think hed remember that theyd be wrong

he shrugged off his thoughts continued walking and went back to the book he was reading on fascism

evidence of aiding and abetting or later to crow plausible deniability

all his life  it this was kind of stuff he walked into

                                                      “I could use a good stiff one.”

if he heard it once hed heard it a thousand times

                                                     innocent   innocuous      unless  unless

unless of course youve been invited to a movie stars fortieth birthday at the Old Hollywood Theater

how does a nobody like him get an invite

answer he knew the actors cousinthey dated when they were younger 

she happened to be in LA on business  her trip happily coinciding with her cousins visit

he lived in England and had come to the Los Angeles to introduce his fiancée to his parents who were visiting his sister

they were a Greek family  well-heeled  cosmopolitan  world-travelers
                                                                             he wasnt

another answer perhaps dumb luck a matter of being in the right place at the right time his daughter and son-in-law lived in LA and he just happened to be visiting

a week and a half earlier his old girlfriend efemaled him and asked if he might be free to be able to see her while she was in Los Angeles 

he emaled back  Crazy I actually have plans to be in LA that weekend 

she invited him to a family brunch Then you can meet my cousin NO! you wont be imposing. I’ve told you before, Greek and Polish families are alike, the more the merrier.

Yeah Thatd be a kick  Thank you

he didnt think of it a second time 

                                   he telephoned his daughter and told her he was going to go missing for a few hours on Saturday and if itd be alright then hed like to extend his visit through Tuesday evening to make up for time they lost 

Who are you going to meet again? she was a bit star struck as a teenager she decorated her room with a poster of one of the films the actor was in     

he wasnt impressed

actors and celebrities were just people

there was nothing to be awed by

Baby Im pretty sure they used a bathroom like we do do

Oh, Dad, you’re so funny.   

hed seen the actor in the postered film and several others

                                                             and while he had never seen his fiancée a Page Three girl who rose up out of The Sun to international prominence  he remembered her name before the actors  oddly he enjoyed the pale gleam of knowing it without ever having seen a photograph of her people talked and from those he might trust he assembled an image 

when he met them at the luncheon the actor eagerly preceded his fiancéehe hadnt seen his family in two years and hewell he  he was unnaturally wowed by her  he abruptly broke off his introductiontheir handshake and took the actor by his elbow moving him forward so he could get around him to meet her

it is possible she didnt use a bathroom

saying goodbye at the luncheons end she who took him aside and mentioned that she was throwing a surprise birthday party and would really be please if he would attend

English accent stunning an amazing physique

Yes Id be happy to comeattend

I’m sorry, you said we were going to the Hollywood Theater tonight?

Yes Yes we are

Well, I declined my invite because it wasn’t extended to a guest.

Your cousins fiancée asked if I would come 

I don’t know if I believe you.

he hugged herwhispered the password in her ear

when he let her go she stepped backwards twice  I still can’t believe it.

“I could use a good stiff one.”

thats what he heard just before he entered the bar backstage at the end of the night

“Will this do?”

“Oh, dear, look at you, you read my mind.”

Aw ferChristssake guys the bartender and a server Go on Get a room

the one whose mouth wasnt full spoke -- it would have been rude of the other to speak -- Oh goodness, beautiful, we thought the party was over, sorry; wasn’t that a crazy pie fight, absolutely exquisite.

quickly grabbing a bottle of Irish from a rack and two clean glasses from a tray on the bar not wanting to break the mood   MOOD really  Yah Amok I hadnt expected it any more than running into youse    

they didnt hear him

she was sitting in a theater seat a few rows up from the orchestra pit a couple seats in from the aisle

Straight up kid I wasnt stopping for ice Dont ask

she smiled through the lathered cream that stuck to her facestreaked her hairwent down her dress into her cleavage  Oh, how nice, how thoughtful, I could use . .
. . No dont finish that sentence

Excuse me?

No not until we have a drink first I promise Ill fill you in

he poured

they took a sip

he thanked her for the drink 

Here  excuse me he snatched a dollop of lather from her widows peak so it didnt fall into her drink That was a really marvelous surprise party I appreciate the invitation

No, no, think nothing of it, you’re welcome of course, but not so quick. I find that people from the States like to obfuscate, change boats midstream . . . You were saying?

Ah  actually you were saying I interrupted you

I was, wasn’t I?

Yes

I was going to say, I could use a good stiff one.

You were And I must admit it sounds better coming out of your mouth You have cleansed my mind

Waatever are you getting on about?

he poured more whiskey on top of his Too bad airbags and seatbelts arent available with this plush red theater seating

Waat? Waatyou talking about? 

he really dug her English

he told her  she really knew how to throw a party

the telephone rang the desk agent excused herselfpressing an informative glossy pamphlet into the gentlemans hand hed been inquiring of the Inns amenities and rates for nearly ten minutes shed held the job long enough now to know when a customer was genuine or when they were making a playmaking time for themselves at her expense

an attractive woman aware of her attractiveness  isnt stupid     

picking up the telephone she said Good morning, this is the front desk. My name is Isabel. How can I be of help?

Good morning. This is Mrs. Pearson, Suite 1010.

Yes, Mrs. Pearson -- she was immediately at the computer ascertaining the Pearson reservation -- how may I help you?

I think there was some mistake this morning. We received a wake-up call from the desk at seven. We didn’t request a wake-up.

peering back at Isabel from the interface was the four-day reservation  last evening was their first evening in the suite  no wake-up calls had been scheduled momentarily she was confused but didnt let it sneak into her voice I’m terribly sorry, Mrs. Pearson, I’m looking at the computer as we speak, I understand you don’t wish to be disturbed . .

. . No. We don’t. This is a much-deserved desperately-anticipated getaway.

I understand, Mrs. Pearson, I’m terribly sorry. Please, again, my name is Isabel. I’m bring up each and every morning forward, and as I am I do not see any wake-up calls scheduled; no, no, none are scheduled and I have noted none should be. I hope that is to your satisfaction.

I appreciate your thoroughness, Isabel. Thank you for your time and consideration.

You’re welcome, Mrs. Pearson, I see this evening you’ll be dining with us.

Yes. Chef Marc has spoiled us for many years.

I understand he is exceptional. I love taking the advice of my customers. Again, please, if there is anything you need or require do not hesitate to contact me or the Inn immediately.

Thank you, Isabel  the telephone call disconnected

Miss the gentleman must be thick You’ll excuse me, sir, that ought to dampen his spirits but I have to take something up immediately with my manager. Thank you.  But I . . she turned quicklycutting him short disregarding his imploring hurt wannabe puppydog look

entering the office space behind the front desk she continued to the halfclosed door at the rearthe Manager’s Office and rapped softly at it Mrs. MacGill?

Yes?

We have a problem in ten-ten Isabel said as she entered

Ten-ten, a wake-up call?

Yes.

No.  Aw, no.

I’m afraid so. Shall we move them to another suite? I’m not comfortable leaving them there, chancing another call, no matter how quainthistorically quaint the story is.

You don’t think they would find it unique?

No.

That’s abrupt, Isabel.

Then I’ll pose that you haven’t met Mrs. Pearson in the flesh; in the flesh is important here, there’s nothing quaint in her make-up that I’ve discerned, Chef Marc, by name, and they’ve stayed with us several times over years. I wouldn’t jeopardise their staying with us in the future for the past. Some might not feel that murders and a suicide are quaint, no matter that to date the spirits haven’t exhibited anything other than . . what shall I say . . being mischievous.

Well said.

Thank you, ma’am, but I’ll defer to you if you wish chancing speaking with them tomorrow morning. I’ve assured Mrs. Pearson that I’ve noted that they are not be awakened. I have also denied the computer to accept commands for ten-ten to be called; but you know that is ineffectual.

They are persistent.

They are.

Then you’ll handle their move and tell them dinner is on us this evening for their inconvenience?

I will immediately.

And if Mrs. Pearson should ask why? I suspect she will.

I’ll be informing her in person. If she wants to hear why, then in my darkest mien and voice I’ll ask her if she truly . . truly . . wants to know. I don’t have to tell you how gruesome the murders were.

No Mrs. MacGill shivered You needn't reminded me.

No. One hundred years haven’t diminished them.
