Lover
it was passable he thought when written read
he thought it was awkward when he
heard it used enunciated publicly he
remembers specifically it burned
on his brow branded him
a particularly
attractive woman who sat on his lapshe choose to sit he had room for her and was going to slide
but she leaned overtouched his thigh and gave him a long look down her blouse You’re fine, you’re fine right there. and sat
Fine with me he wanted to say there was plenty of room if he shoved over for her
and her twin if she had one he was being greedy
she reminded him of the Seagren twins Nordic blondes bombshells untouchables as dicktated by
their well-heeled overly-protective father
they didnt come out on their own
until it was too late after their old
man died and rather given their heads
little by little introduced to the world and its ways they flung
themselves at it with the regard of naïve little girls
well he had to get himself some of that naivete
sensational just-turned seventeen year olds
once out they said as a matter of fact
that their fathers death was his birthday gift to them he had driven their mother to alcoholism and
managed to keep her home pickled with her favourite juice
their mother conceded then she commenced and recommended liquors to
her daughters and helped anesthetise them from his demons demands and restraints
what few friends the girls were
allowedother girls the Seagren women were generous
and shared their motherlode with them
and those
girls shared with their friends outside the Seagren household
thus their notoriety preceded
them into the small world that held them captive for the time being
when the girls were younger their
father enlisted and paid boys who were his daughters age to watch them
the boys
brought him up to speed every evening a
domineering suspicious father he paid very well he even enlisted the boys fathers to remind
their sons that he expected returns on his investment
Mr Seagren worked downtown Chicago as financial expert he didnt talk money always investments investments investments hmmm needed money to
make investmentshuh
he was a couple years older than
the twins small in high schooldidnt grow
until the summer he graduated a kind of
amazing Hulk prospect threeanahalf inches fiftypounds by winter no one he was in high school with
recognised him
buddies joked that when they had nothing better going
on they stopped over at his parents house to watch him grow
two years older transformed the girls didnt recognised him either
after their fathers death the
Seagren twins created a buzz whenever they attended parties they were a draw as so to speak
at long long last their paths
crossed
a small party at a friends who
knew they had a mutual friend who lived in an attic
his friend was elaborate when he
finally got permission from his parents to move into it
he drew up a lighting schematic
that he affixed and hung from the exposed rafters and beams they were coloured lights black lights
harshwhite lights and adjustable lazy to crazed strobes
he ran
them to a motherboard where he could conduct and orchestra lighting modes
once
he was pleased with his effects he bought Army surplus silk parachutes and
fixed them to the roof in tight skeins and billows appropriate to the lighting
they secreted
he called his room Heaven
to get to Heaven they had to climb a collapsible ladder
Stairway to Heaven inspired
Dobroskys was the shit
in coveys near the eaves he built
bookcases and in some of the books he
cut away pages and created boxes from them where he hid his stashes
Dobro turned him onto his first taste of psilocybin
usually once you went up the Stairway you
didnt come down until the following morning
he arrived lateSURPRISE the Seagrens were there
they were friends of Dobros sister Jannet
in high school Jannet began spelling
her name with two Ns yadont
wanna know No Jannet wasnt a unique old
country spelling that she discovered in the Dobrosky family Bible No, no, no. I spell it with two n’s because I
have really nice nipples.
she did she had tits and nipples
that women around the world pay plenty of dough for plastic surgeons to emulate
Jannet was a crazed balls-to-the-wall
redhead
when she got the hots for a guy her hots didnt go away at least they didnt go away until after she
fucked them then she got chilly
but make no mistake she fucked ravenously
any guy who came away bragging that they did her didnt know what they
were talking about
she
was the one who made notches on a brooms handle that she kept beside her bed
at least she remembered their
names
not that they
were particularly memorable more that if
asked she could relate their enthusiasm in the sack maybe steer girlfriends away from a morbid fuck
most she went over like a steamroller
if they were wise theyd
shaddup just be grateful
was she a nymphNah
she was a stud
she had designs on him not heated but she could never catch him
truly she couldnt run fast enough to catch him
some guys asked Why don’t you let her catch you?
Nah he replied Wed either spontaneously combust into flame and pure
white ash or fuse together in some bizarre modernistic figuration
he knew about her nice nipples
because she sent him photographs
he still has them
the Seagrens were a pair
they were beautiful
naïve
they just started smoking
grass
they could afford sensational
weed
he Wowed them when he shotgunned
a girlfriend of theirs
speaking over each other they said That’s crazy! Would you do that
to me?
Where does your twinship
stop
Like minds!
they laughed green eyes brightsparkling That’s so deliciously intimate. Karly said
So you can speak differ . .
. . I was going to say intimate too. said Liv
So girls up for a shotgun
Yes! in
unison
For a price
Price? in
unison
A kiss afterwards from you both
It’ll be like we’re kissing when
you shotgun us.
Kinda A tad more intimate
Yes then, please! Liv spoke for them Karly nodded enthusiastically over her shoulder
shotgunning is very sensual
eyes lock smoky breath sweet sucking inhale
he knocked off the roach
he didnt know who was who Karly Liv
he Frenchkissed them
Christ they kissed alike moist enthusiastic they didnt resist when he helped himself to
seconds and to a third he couldnt help himself they sat
to either side of him they laughed gayly
as he went between them
he wondered if different scenarios might be playing out in their heads
he
wondered his mind was working overtime
it was nice to finally meet them
up close and personal
they affirmed that Heaven couldnt
hold a torch to Dobros Heaven
not even within a stones throw
the blonde sat in his lap after
they crossed each other a couplethree times during the evening
last time she stepped back away
from the bar as he was stepping forward to fill her void
a guy alone in a bar is piecemeal to
bartenders had he been smarthad he
recognised her from behind he would have had her order his pint and whisky too
it was a nice collision
she didnt
spill a drop of either drink she held
Agile he said to her as they were
pressed together Didnt spill a drop
Daresay it might take more than
you to unsettle me.
Good from his angle he took in her cleavage as
people siftedfilling voids moving to the bar Nice breasts
Thank you.
Youre welcome Do we know each other
We do now. Karren. absently she seemed to want to shake his hand
but the glasses handcuffed her
Karren Two Rs
Im Joe
Yes.
How did you know?
Long story he thought Really real
she sat on his lap for a bit of
random conversation
she remarked that she was at the
bar to celebrate her boyfriends birthday
Your boyfriends birthday
Yes.
Whadaya doin sittin here in my
lap an not in his
Oh, no worries.
Im not worried
Most guy are.
Im not Sit in a lot of guys laps
she turned on her hips to face
him better to read him better
he thought
he didnt mind
she improved his line of sight of her really real breasts
You’re not.
Baby yadon have to face me to see
me Youve said youre intuitive Your intuition should have told you off the
timbre of my voice alone
What if I said you might be
messing with my intuition?
Id call that a line
Like yours, when I backed into you
at the bar?
No line First time we sidestepped each other you
looked familiar I was trying to place
you
Is that the truth?
Intuition Intuition Your intuition ought to be screaming at you youll only get the
truth from me Got no time to waste lying
she scrutinised him hard
Hey Im
bashful Quit undressing me
You’re very refreshing.
Thank you though I shouldnt be
Perhaps not, but people like their
games.
Im not people
she looked him in the face
she reachedup and pinched his cheek
A set jaw; so serious.
Deadly serious when it comes to
my veracity my ethics
Curious. You’re gay one moment then a stone the next.
Im a magic man
Like Heart?
Exactly If you hadnt known your stock would have plummeted
she pursed her lips
Very little
effects my stock.
Nice place to be if its true
You can take it to the bank.
Nevertheless this pitter-patter this pause sidesteps your original surmise
Original surmise? What?
Worried
Oh. My boyfriend’s not the jealous type. He’s my
lover.
Lover
