I blushed when Iheard the laughter, but carried on passing round the cake.Finally they all agreed on the party and I decided I didn't want to go.The p...essure they put on me was enormous. I still refused but did offerto help do the food."Only if you turn up dressed like a waitress," said Zoe."Sorry, in which case, I'll do some stuff here and Bruce can bring itover, I'm not a party animal." You've gotta come, Rob, or I won't go." Bruce really turned the screw."But I don't like parties, I always. Can I have my real clothes backnow?" It's not supposed to be funny darling," said my mom calmly. "It'ssupposed to be fun! Didn't you tell me you wanted to spend some timewith me as Tracey?"I hung my head without answering her."Well, this is your chance," she said gleefully.My throat seized and my heart palpitated. "But Mom... I can't do thistoday. Just let me have my own clothes back and I'll think about doingit tomorrow or something. Okay?"Of course I had no intention of dressing as Tracey in. The thought occurred to me that I may have to help her to a taxi or at the very least I would get to drive her home.After about two hours at the restaurant Patty asked if I would like to open a bottle at her place, I informed her if I had anymore to drink I would not be able to drive home. A smirking smile lit up her face as she rose from her chair.Arriving at her place I noticed lots of pictures on her walls depicting large women and small men. Now I should mention I am not exactly a thin man. “Very true, that much, babe. We’ll always have the movies to reminisce about the past, too. Classic pre-apocalyptic stuff like that beatnik film with the love triangle involving Kristen Stewart, for instance. Well, it will be a classic now, anyway. People will laugh when they realize how risque that movie was deemed to be compared to cinema of the future, of course,” Barry Clarke chuckled.“You just like seeing her get all hot and bothered with two horny young men, don’t you? Just like you enjoy.
