Suzy’s Strange Saga

While Johnny seems okay, you don’t know him and you’re not in the mood to make new acquaintances, so to prevent the risk of him suddenly becoming more talkative to you, you pass Johnny and head upstairs to help Julie.

“Hey! Not cool Julie, we were asleep!” you hear a voice say.
“Yeah and nobody has sex in MY bed unless I’m actually in it!” Julie says.
“Well, you can still join us like last time…” another voice says.
“Get out!”

This order is followed by the sounds of something falling on the floor, and then followed by some complaints.

Soon you see a disheveled man and woman both putting some clothes on as they exit the room. They walk past you, grumbling the whole time about Julie not being cool about the situation.

As they walk out the front door, they end up waking up another guest who was sleeping in one of the chairs downstairs. He looks at his watch and exclaims “Shit!” and rushes out the door as well. Johnny briefly looks at them and then looks up at you with a faint smile and continues to quietly clean up.

You enter Julie’s room and see her stripping the bed.

“Well, could’ve been worse I suppose. I thought you were cleaning up downstairs.” Julie asks.
“I figured I’d help you up here.” You answer.
“Oh, well thanks.”
“Plus, I dunno, but that Johnny guy is sort of weird.”
“Heh, yeah, but no weirder than some of the other people we’ve both known.”
“I suppose, but there’s something about him…I can’t place my finger on it. I’m just not getting the best of vibes from him.”
“Well he did say he didn’t get out much. Maybe he’s just awkward around people. I think you know a little about that.” Julie says smirking.
“Heh, very funny. So did you want me to get started on the other rooms?”
“Yeah just pick up any trash you might find and throw that away in a trash bag. There should be some up here in the hallway closet. Don’t worry about the bathroom, I’m sure its suitably disgusting, but I wouldn’t dream of asking you to clean it. Hey, maybe I can get Johnny to do it. Ha ha!”
“What about Donna’s room?”
“Well, normally I leave her shit alone so she has the privacy of cleaning it herself if she so desires. Of course I don’t think picking up a few beer cans that might be in there to be an invasion of privacy. So use your judgment.”

So you do exactly what Julie says. You start picking up cans and other refuse into a trash bag. Despite Julie’s warnings, you check the bathroom anyway and it isn’t quite that bad so you do a little cleaning up there as well.

Eventually you make your way back to Julie’s room where she’s still straightening things out there.

“You know normally I never bother to do this much cleaning, but I guess that’s one of the advantages of not being hung over when you wake up in the afternoon. You finished already?” Julie asks.
“Just about, even worked on the bathroom a little. Wasn’t that bad in there.”
“Glad to hear it, did you clean up Donna’s room?”
“No, decided to stick with your policy of non-interference.”
“Okay. (Whew) I’m used to playing hard, but not working hard. I’m taking a break.”
“Yeah I think I’ll join you.”

Julie lies down on her now fresh-sheeted bed, while you sit in a chair.

“Why don’t you come over here, you could stretch out.” Julie says.
“Hm, I’m good. And I think we’ve spent enough time in beds together for a while.” You answer.
“Afraid you might get the sudden urge to spoon me again huh?”
“Look, I dunno how I got in that position, but I probably was dreaming or something.” You say.
“Mostly or something.” Julie continues to prod. “You had me in a pretty good grip and I didn’t say this before, but I was wide-awake for a good ten minutes enjoying it before I had to really pee. And during that time, you were also grinding your body into mine and you even gave me a peck on the ear.”
“What?! Get out of here! You’re making this up!” you exclaim.
“I’m serious!”
“…I like guys!” you protest.
“I never said you didn’t. I’m just saying that on SOME level, you might like the female form as well. It’s okay you know.”
“The only female form I like is my own.”
“So you really mean to say you’ve never fantasized about another woman? I’m not even talking about me, I’m talking about any woman.”
“Nope, can’t say that I have.”
“You’ve never found any woman attractive?”
“Well that’s different than wanting to fucking another woman. I mean sure, if you want an example I always thought my older brother Ben’s wife Moonshadow had pretty eyes.”
“Hmm, interesting. She was part black wasn’t she? Maybe you just got a thing for dark meat.” Julie laughs.
‘Fuck you Julie. Just fuck you.”
“Hey, whenever you’re ready. And given how much you were aggressively holding on to me and grinding your body into mine, I at least I know you’re a top now. Didn’t get that vibe from you before. That’s kind of hot really.”

At this point you can’t help but laugh though it’s a semi-nervous laugh due to feeling a little weird about Julie’s suggestions about you. You attempt to change the subject.

“Well at least this has gotten my mind off other things. Still need to smooth things over with Donna though. No call yet, so I’m guessing she didn’t get arrested. I’m just hoping it isn’t something worse. I might call her soon; even if she is pissed at me at least I’ll know where she is. Has she ever disappeared like this before?”
“Oh sure. I mean she goes over to hang out with other people; she’s probably over at one of their houses. I’m sure she’ll be back later today…is that Johnny guy still downstairs?”
“Dunno. I can check.”

You exit Julie’s room and look into the living from the second floor. The TV is still on (And still playing an infernal Ground Zero infomercial) but Johnny isn’t anywhere in sight. Looks like the living room is clean though, even the last of the sleeping “guests” are gone. You call out his name, but there is no answer.

“Nope, he’s gone. Looks like everyone is gone.” You say entering Julie’s room again.
“Oh well. With as helpful as he was cleaning up I hoped I could get him to drag these dirty sheets and blankets to the washing machine. You gonna help?”
“I suppose I could, but I probably should be searching for a job. I have a terrible habit of not focusing at the best of times on that.”
“Heh, I don’t even think I’ve ever looked for one…and I probably should start doing so. Like I said yesterday, my inheritance isn’t going to last forever. I won’t keep you though, you’ve been a big help already and I can handle taking some sheets down to the washing machine.”

You suddenly get the idea that maybe the task wouldn’t seem quite as bad if you did it together. To be honest you wouldn’t mind her with you while you look if only because you still don’t want to be by yourself where you can start dwelling on Bobby again or worse trying to call him.

Of course you might end up just goofing off with Julie if she’s around thus procrastinating and making the goal of searching for a job pointless.
