Wanna tickle me?" Someone on the other end of the line choked on her laughter. "Hello? Are you okay?" Have you been avoiding me, Brian?" Who the hell ...as this?"Excuse me. Who is this, please?" It's Miss Polly, and I'd love to tickle you." Oh shit! I mean, I'm sorry, Miss Polly. I thought it was one of my girlfriends." We could work on that, but I'm a little old for you. Why haven't you called me? I gave you my card in August." Oh no! I'm really sorry, Miss Polly. I had a really rough fall and. In order to ease her nerves, I ordered the girls a round of Rum Runners. Next to an ice cold beer, there is nothing better in the sun than a nice rum drink. The sun was really baking now, it was the height of the afternoon. I noticed that Leah's skin was turning pink, so I offered to put some lotion on for her. She shyly smiled and told me the lotion was beneath her chair, near her flip-flops. I eagerly grabbed it and squeezed a generous amount into my hand. I started rubbing it into her back. " Why don't you start at the beginning?" Well-that may take a while, but OK."I cleared my throat and tried to compose myself, and once the wordsstarted flowing, they seemed to attain a momentum of their own whichcould not be denied."In a way I guess it started with my father. I remember a night when Iwas about 7 or 8 years old. My father had stopped to kiss me goodnight,and when he did, I opened my mouth and stuck my tongue out. He was quiteshocked and asked what I did that for, and I told. Not sure what to make of it. Then Dave added "That way we know who is winning." he laughed I nodded my head in agreement.The card game was simple, the deck was shuffled and the split. Every time one of us turned over a picture card the other would take an item off. It started off and within a few minutes I was down to my shorts and underwear, we both had tshirts and socks on at the start. Dave chuckled away. Then he started to loose which soon wiped the smile off his face. It came down to us.
