Everyone in this short story is 18+ it is based on my life and the names were changed but not the facts. I still have that dirty book 'What the neighbor saw'.
My Friend With Benefits.
I was thirty-five in 1991 and was moving into my first place in years since being alone without a roommate. It was not a wrong spot, but it was behind a dirty bookstore, and you could see the sign in lights saying Adult Books and Novelties lighting up the night sky. The landlord showed me the place in daylight and went by a side street, so I missed seeing the sign. My girlfriend comes over to check out the new home and to swap spit. You know, we were just Friends With Benefits. She stands six foot one to my six foot two, one hundred thirty-five pounds to my two hundred forty. We have blue eyes and light brown hair, often in ponytails.
We both have been into and out of therapy enough to know that what we were doing had nothing to do with love, but people have needs that don't require love. We both need what we do for each other; she even said she told her mom about me.
I can't take being tied up, and she can't be touched unless she looking at you first. You won't do that again unless you are into broken noses. Not going into detail about our trauma would change the story, so we will skip that and move on.
But I would call, or she would say, "Feeling up tonight." If yes, we will meet at her place or mine. We touched mostly the intimacy of sex, not so much intercourse or oral, but what would happen in between. What we had was between two consenting adults who needed human touch. Both of us were so messed up it was unlikely we ever find people who did not think we were not broken beyond repair. Judy called and came over to see my new place.
She says. "Novelties and dirty books, but what the fuck are Novelties?''
I had dirty books from the late 50s and early 60s. I found them in the trash at my Aunts house as I was cleaning up the workshop of her dead husband. I read them, and some pages stuck together, but Judy found them in my nightstand. When she started reading aloud, we both touched ourselves hard. Sometimes we would connect, but her reading out loud, I did not want to take the chance of getting hit by touching her. We both were on edge, and while the one come was OK, there was the feeling that one was not a fun number, but two or three sometimes was. But we both knew she could not take my finger inside her, and sometimes even her fingers she had an issue with.
Judy popped up and says. "You feel like ice cream? You got any? No, let's go get some.''
So she puts her dress back on but leaves her undies off and tells me. "Go commando. I love the shape of you.''
So we walk past the bookstore, and it looks like any Dirty bookstore walking by. So we went to the convenience store and got some ice cream bars. Judy is sitting on the curb, her legs spread, staying cool when a car of guys drives up, and she closes her legs before she gives them a show.
The guys look at us as they go inside. Judy is looking at me, giving the ice cream a Blow Job, and the guys come out with beer, and one guy walks by and grabs her shoulder. Judy is up channeling Bruce Fucking Lee She twists the guy's arm, and she kicks him in the nuts, then a roundhouse to the head. The guy is down and out for the count. His two friends step toward her. I stand up, and we both tower over them.
I say. "Take your trash with you; this will not end well for you guys.''
So they picked their friend up and left. You always saw Judy shake like a leaf after being touched but knocking that kid to the ground has given her something. You can see hell in her eyes, even in the way she stands. It's like sparks are going around her. As I hold my hand out, a spark jumps between us. She looks at me, giggles, and grabs my hands without her eyes open. I closed my eyes, too, because I felt she would hit me, but she did not. Instead, her eyes opened wide, and she looked at our hands.
She says, "Let's see what a dirty bookstore has that the 1960s books don't.''
We stepped into the smell of flowers coming from incense. The first breath is almost overpowering, but the second breath is calming. My juice/Adrenaline was pumped up, but I am starting to feel calmer. I looked at the counter lady; she was a goth freak with a spiked collar, Tats, and four handcuffs hanging off her clothes near her hands and feet.
I look at Judy, and I whisper. "I got to go; her handcuffs are making me sweat.''
Judy asks, "Do you mind my friend had a bad time with cuffs? Any chance you could take them off while we are in the store, please.''
The sales lady is in a voice that smokes a good deal. She says. "Bad time, yeah, she understands.''
With an easy flip of her head, she pulls her top off, and she's pieced with a sexy half bra (1990 pretty rare for then) and more than a handful full, and they got tats too.
She drops her jeans and has a G-string on, and says. "How's this? She looks at me and says, " Better close your mouth; you're going to catch a fly.''
I say. "I did not know nipples could fly, but I am willing to try."
