Little Cat

MAN NO. 5

I drank too much. I don’t remember exactly how I got there. I remember being at the bar, not leaving it. The two of them were sitting beside me at first, their bare legs swinging over the bar stools. They looked exactly alike from the back. Laughing and smoking. The same long dark hair. When I glanced down I saw one girl’s hand playing up under the other one’s skirt. It startled me. I wanted to see that. And they knew I was watching. They looked over at me a little. I didn’t look back at their faces but at their hands on each other’s bare thighs. There was just no way they thought I couldn’t see them. Fuck, I was sitting right beside them.

‘Let’s take him home with us.’

‘No, I don’t want to.’

‘Come on. Why not? It’ll be fun.’

‘He’s not going to be enough for us.’

‘Oh, come on! Let’s do it, it’ll be fun. I’ll get to see you fuck.’

They were talking in these jokey voices. Now I knew they knew I could hear them.

‘Look at his feet.’

‘Whatever, look at his nose!’

‘I like big strapping dicks.’

‘So do I.’

‘It’s not worth it to fuck a small dick.’

‘Stop it!’

The two of them were laughing hysterically now.

‘Come on. He looks nice.’

‘But I like it when they’re not so nice.’

‘I know you do, you little slut! Come on, let’s take him to your place. I feel like fucking him.’

‘Only if I get to see your face when you’re coming … ’

‘You know you can see anything you want … ’

The two girls were ordering another round. Then the one closest to me, the one the other one called ‘little slut,’ turned to me and smiled. ‘Can I get you something?’

I didn’t know what to say to her. She was offering to buy me a drink? What the fuck did that mean?

‘Come on, Loverboy, drink with me and my friend … ’

The girl put her arm around the other girl and drew their faces close together.

‘Yeah! What do you want to drink?’

They really looked alike. Their lips were so glossy.

‘Come on, Loverboy, drink with us!’

‘Okay,’ I said. ‘Anything.’

So they bought me a beer and we all started talking. I bought the next round, and the next, and the next. I guess we just kept drinking. Then I think we got in a cab. I remember I was walking in the middle of them, arm in arm, up some stairs. They let me go when we got inside the apartment. I saw a couch covered with takeout containers. The two of them ran ahead of me, laughing, down a hallway. I followed them, stumbling, my hands along the walls. It was dark and too hot in that place and I was drunk. The bedroom at the end of the hallway seemed as small as a closet. The bed was near the floor.

I was taking off my clothes in there because I was sweating. I listened to the sound of them kissing. There were lumps of sheets all over the bed. It looked like an obstacle course. I was feeling around for the wall to lean on. My dick had gotten hard because they were below me, sighing out moans between their kisses. I was starting to make out their legs in the darkness, twisting together like they were glued. I saw two tongues flicking around. They were drawing each other’s lips in circles. That’s what I thought I saw.
