Bumps and Beachy Hair

From the upcoming SLH Summer Season:

I ask Lola where the bathroom is located. She tells me straight back, and to the right. Christian gives me a gentle peck on the lips, tells me not to be long, and I meander away.

Even though I’ve followed Lola’s instructions, I open the door, to what is not the bathroom, and instead find Clark and Chopper, and…Bill, I think, except now he has long hair, and Celeste’s new-old boyfriend snorting coke off a low table, “ummm, what’s going on in here?”

“Beautiful angel,” Clark looks up and turns to me, “we found some left-over coke in Deirdre’s room—“

Chopper looks at me, “Can you believe she almost pawned my bike off for coke, when all along she had a bag of it stashed under her bed!“

“Along with a great collection of hair pieces,” Bill brushes a strand of hair back from his eyes.

“Have you met Alan?” Clark pulls Alan away from the counter. “He’s your friend Celeste’s boyfriend—”

I nod, because Clark obviously doesn’t remember that it was me that introduced Alan and Celeste to everyone when they first walked in.

“We thought he was gay,” Clark smiles wide, now hanging on to Alan like a proud Pappa, “so we got him away from your friend to try to get to the bottom of things,” Clark says, all teeth.

“Not gay, never been gay,” Alan twists back for the counter, “never even thought about being gay.”

“Still young,” Bill chimes in, now inspecting his nails.

“We invited him to do a little bump, which turned into a couple…god your hair looks great, so beachy and sexy,” Clark takes a step closer to me so he can play with my hair.

“Very similar to my hair, don’t you think?” Bill is back to playing with his new-found hair.

“A little too much,” Chopper starts inspecting Bill’s new hair, “you really need to let me cut that.”

We all stop fixating on Bill’s…hair, and Clark turns back to me, “do you want a little?” he points to the table.

Volume 3, the Sex, Life, & Hannah Summer Season, is coming soon…stay tuned.
