Chapter Ten – Time Trials
B. J. borrowed a used Benz off the lot where he worked for the ride to Vicki's party. He felt we shouldn't show up in a truck. In his opinion either one of our trucks, even looking their best, was too informal for the event, which, from the looks of things, promised to be as grand as he expected.
Renee greeted us at the door of her enormous house. “My SWEET young dancing partner ...” she hugged me. “And his LYIN' friend BEJESUS...” she said to B. J. “Bejesus! And you don't even have sisters; you have BROTHERS, and every one of them MARRIED I was pained to learn.” She hugged B. J. quite warmly. “Come IN, come in … What? You brought a GIFT? Oh, you shouldn't have ...” She added our homely little gift to a large pile of beautifully wrapped boxes of various sizes stacked on a table in the entryway. “And Racer … how ARE your sisters? At least Bejesus got their NAMES right!”
“I bet she knows your blood type,” B. J. whispered to me as we were firmly pushed into a large room to make way for the next arrivals approaching Renee's open arms. In a sea of strange faces it was nice to see Vicki recognize us.
“THERE y'all are … and looking so nice. I guess I forgot to say the FOUR of us need to go GET the tree before we can trim it.” She was dressed in jeans and a flannel shirt. “And by GET the tree, I mean chop it down!” She let out a whoop that would have made a Comanche proud.
“The four? Who's the fourth?”
She scanned the crowd and called out to one of them, “Lee! Lee Loudon Lovell? Come On!”
We reclaimed our coats and left the house. The four of us, with Vicki at the tiller, got into an elaborate golf cart and headed west. Lee was introduced as 'Momma's friend' with no further explanation. He didn't look that much older than B. J. or myself. He didn't say much more than we did either. Vicki did the talking.
“What about that tree? No, too skinny.” The next one had a twisted trunk. She successively eliminated enough misshapen trees to make a nice forest, before finding THE ONE. “There it IS!” she exclaimed. “Perfect!” She parked the cart and took a chain saw out of a storage bin under the rear seat. “I'm thinking I can saw it off and y'all can CATCH IT on the way down, so it doesn't get all SMOOSHED and lopsided.”
Her plan sounded plausible, even reasonable. Who wants a smooshed Christmas tree, right? She gave directions positioning us with the precision of a baseball manager deploying his fielders. “Back a little more, Racer; you're going for the top. A little left Lee … OK! Here GOES!”
She deftly carved a notch out of the trunk in the direction of the desired fall and then cut from the other side. “TIMBER!” she cried with hope and glory in her tones, but the tree didn't fall. Reflexively, we catchers all took a step or two closer. Big mistake. There was a cracking noise and the tree fell much faster than anyone expected. None of that slow lean and then gradually gathering momentum for the fall. It came down like a ton of bricks.
“Boys? Where ARE y'all?”
“Buried in this FUCKING TREE!” Lee yelled back at her. He sounded seriously pissed off. B. J. was the first on his feet and I was next. We had to roll the tree off of Lee.
“Oh, you poor THINGS!” Vicki said with no concern at all in her voice. “Let's go visit the lodge for a little revival. Daddy used to use this place when he wanted to get away. Of course, that was before he GOT away!” she said with a lighthearted laugh.
We drove through some larger trees and came to a low cabin that couldn't contain much more than a large single room. She walked in and threw a wall switch, instantly igniting a large gas-fed fire in a stone hearth at one end of the cabin. She walked toward the hearth and felt around, looking for something among the large stones. One of them swung out into the room.
“Isn't that CLEVER!” she exclaimed as she withdrew a dark and dusty bottle. “Daddy liked a bit of brandy on a cold day and this is a cold enough day. The fire will warm the room quickly and this will give it a little push. The bottle says the brandy's fifty years old, but it's probably been in the wall another twenty-five at least. Here ...” She thrust the bottle toward B. J. who was closest.
B. J., seeing no glass, pulled out the cork and tentatively took a swallow. The result brought tears to his eyes, and he wheezed, “It's good.” I took a swig ready for the worst, but it really wasn't bad. I passed the bottle to Lee, who looked skeptical. He elaborately wiped the mouth of the bottle with his shirt tail before sipping, glaring at the rest of us all the while.
Vicki took off her coat and took the bottle from Lee. She walked over to B. J., took a sip and then kissed him, before offering him another sip. She did the same with me. She tried it with Lee as well, but he groaned, “Oh, for God's sake,” before kissing her.
The brandy and the huge fire combined to warm the room. B. J. and I both shed our coats as the bottle came back around. Lee pointedly kept his on and conveyed a general disapproval of the whole scene. Vicki repeated her sip and kiss with B. J. and then said, “Let's switch it up … B. J., you take a sip and kiss Lee.”
B. J.'s eyes got real big, but Lee's eyes turned to fury. “I ain't playing any of your weird GAMES, Vicki! Never again! Not after … I told you NEVER again!” He turned and left the cabin, slamming the door behind him.
Vicki laughed. “He is so TOUCHY! I knew that would get rid of him.” She undid the top button of her shirt and stroked her neck, inviting our attention to how revealing a single open button could be on that particular shirt. “Now, where were we ...” she said prefatory to kissing me. Then she took our arms and lead B.J. and me to a sofa that faced the fire. We sat and I could feel the heat on my face.
We talked about Thanksgiving dinners and prior Christmases. We passed the bottle and kissed Vicki with each sip. Increasing warmth filled the cabin and I could feel the brandy. We joked about being too drunk to drive the golf cart back to the main house, although barely tipsy was more like our actual state of inebriation.
“Y'all are kissing up a storm, kissing me,” she said. “How 'bout you kiss each other?” She saw our reluctance. “I'm not doing another THING until you do. Go on, now, DO IT. Then we can get serious ...”
I looked at B. J. He looked at me. He shrugged. I shrugged. A tiny kiss took place. I opened my eyes and noticed another of Vicki's buttons was undone. She kissed us one after the other and allowed her shirt to open enough to expose one breast. She moaned sweetly when I cupped it. Then when I put my hand to her face, B. J. kissed her breast.
“You boys are being so nice to me,” Vicki whispered when I rested my hand on her thigh. “I want to see you kiss each other again.” She squirmed, letting my hand move higher up her thigh as B. J. sucked on her breast. The potential gain in this transaction was enormous.
B. J. must have realized it, too. There wasn't any hesitation this time. I could smell her perfume on B. J. when he came close to kiss me. “Again,” she said, when we parted. His time B. J. put his hand to my face and really kissed me. No passion, no tongue; but it was a real kiss.
“Oh, my … that was so sweet … you two just looked ...” Vicki groped for a word. “Maybe too sweet,” she added sadly but without any disapproval. We backed away and looked at her. “I'm afraid …” She stopped and with surprising delicacy drained the brandy bottle. “I'm afraid you two are maybe more into each OTHER than into ME. Now there's nothing wrong with that … I've had it happen before … in fact Momma says I have a thing for gay men … Isn't that SILLY! …”
“Wait! We're not gay!” B. J. protested.
“I don't know ...” Vicki countered. “You kissed ME like you were lookin' for sex. You kissed, Racer ...” She paused and kissed me. “He is kind of irresistible, isn't he? ... You kissed him like you love him. It had that look, you know?”
“I was being gentle … we're friends and all.”
“I KNOW! That's the problem. I want boys who like me. JUST me. Like LEE … What an act he puts on! I got him to suck a boy's dickie like he did it every DAY!” There was a little brandy and way too much glee in her chortle.
“It was Roger deWare, that nice boy from over near Fredricksburg? Roger's a big boy, you know? Lee tried to pull off and Roger made him SWALLOW!” She actually slapped her knee at the memory. “I ain't playing any of your weird GAMES, Vicki!” she growled mimicking Lee's deep bass voice. “He LOVES my weird games. I just wish he loved ME. Or somebody did ...” She sighed, got up, buttoned her shirt, and put her coat on. The cabin interlude was clearly over.
She was jolly, even, as we drove back to the house, towing the tree behind the cart and ignoring its state of smooshedness. “Now don't get all tangled up over this,” she said. “We still might have sex … y'all are so CUTE! … just not tonight.”
B. J. and I, we're polite Virginia boys. We stayed at the party long enough to watch Renee open our present and insist that we put it on the top of the tree, where it actually looked pretty good. If Daimler-Benz ever has problems building cars, they could consider making Christmas ornaments.
“Well, THAT was WEIRD!” was B. J.'s sole comment as we drove home. The radio filled in the silence. “Let's sit outside,” he said after we got there. “My brandy buzz has worn off.” So we sat on the porch in the cold, sipping vodka, and sharing the blanket.
“What were you thinking about?” B. J. asked me.
“When?” I needed clarification; I had been thinking a lot that day.
“Whenever ...” he said.
“If I hadn't been wearing black pants, you'd have seen a huge wet spot on 'em when she called it off.”
“A wet spot? You were … close to coming?”
“It was a real sexy situation. At least, I thought it was. I don't know what I would have done if she kept it up. Challenging us, I mean. Seeing how far we'd go.”
“When I kissed you ...” I felt his eyes boring into me.
“It felt ok. We ARE pretty good friends.”
“It felt ok?” he asked.
“Pretty good actually. It felt good.”
He stared at me. I knew what was going to happen but it took forever for him to touch my face again and then kiss me. He broke the kiss and sat back in silence. I pulled him toward me a little. Then he took over and kissed me again.
“I like being with you, Beej. I like being with you better than anybody else.” Tolstoy's words: I knew he'd remember them. We sipped the vodka and then kissed some more. With our glasses empty, we went inside and kissed on the couch. It was passionate, but pretty much innocent. Above-the-waist embraces and kisses, we didn't go beyond or below that, but still we could tell how aroused we both were.
“You're hard,” B. J. whispered and he pressed his pelvis against me to show me he was, too. “What are we going to do, Racer?”
“We could go into my room and ...”
“No! Sex would ruin everything!” There was anguish and hurt in B. J.'s voice; but then he kissed me again with compelling need, saying yes with his body. “We can't! We just can't!”
Fucking Tolstoy. I should have burned that book.
