Who is Charlie Green? Ch. 15

Charlie spent almost the whole next day at his parents' house eating their food and tinkering with his electric train layout (which he hadn't touched for over two months.) Since he was emptying their pantry and refrigerator, he thought it was only fair to catch his mother up on topics of interest, like the Christmas party Saturday night and the date he was taking to it.

"Do I know this girl?" asked his mother.

"I doubt it; Vivian is the librarian's student assistant, and she's in the orchestra."

"Morales," said his father, "Morales... let's see; I wonder if she's Rico Morales' daughter?"

Charlie shrugged, "I haven't met her parents yet, but I will when I pick her up for the party." He answered a bunch of their questions, and then barricaded himself in the train room.

On Monday he only had one chemistry exam to take and he breezed through that in record time. At 10:30 he made his way to the special study hall in the atrium which the school always set up for exam week. It wasn't very crowded so it was easy to spot Carrie McMaster and Holly Simon sitting near the center. In previous years approaching two cheerleaders in this situation would have been foolhardy for a nerd; but this was a different paradigm now. He walked right up to them.

"Good morning, Ladies! All set for the week?"

Holly looked at him blankly, but Carrie's smile was huge! "Hey Charlie, yes, we took our calculus exam this morning. It was pretty easy."

"Oh? Was Lena in that class with you both?"

"Yeah, she was there."

"You didn't happen to talk to her after the test did you?"

"I did," said Holly, "She thought she did well, AND she was smiling about it!"

"THAT is awesome news! I told her she was gonna nail it!"

Carrie looked at Holly, "Did you know that Charlie tutored Lena a few times?"

Holly turned to Charlie, "You did? That was quite nice of you."

"Actually, she had it in her, she just needed to get a little more oriented then build some confidence."

Lo and behold, Lena walked up to them at that precise moment, and Carrie said, "Hey there, we were just talking about you!"

Without saying a word, Lena threw her arms around Charlie and gave him a big hug! Then she said, "It was awesome, Charlie! I know I got a good grade! I only struggled with two problems on the entire test!"

"Sweet!" he exclaimed, "Can I have another hug?" Lena laughed and gave him another good one! He whispered in her ear, "The best boobs on the cheer team feel really good against me today!"

She laughed again and turned to Carrie, "By the way, Mr. McClain asked me to find you. Something about prom in the spring?"

"Now?"

"Yes, he said it would take less than five minutes."

Carrie turned to the others and squinched up her mouth, "I guess we'll be right back?" She walked off with Lena.

Charlie said to Holly, "So, can I sit down? I need to do a little review for my anatomy test after lunch."

"Sure, go ahead," she said, waving toward the open seats.

When he sat, she half-stared at him for a long moment. Charlie finally saw it and said, "Something on your mind, Holly?"

"Yes, I'm thinking about what's happening here. It's been going on for at least two months."

"What exactly are you referring to?"

Holly shrugged, "I've seen a change in my friends; and you seem to be a part of it."

Charlie chuckled, "Oh, I don't know. I think it's kind of simple really."

"You do?"

"Yeah, we're all growing up. We're all changing mindsets that were ridiculously immature." Holly looked at him and blinked trying to analyze his words. He continued, "You're growing up too, what went down in the last five minutes proves your character."

"What do you mean?"

He smiled, "Two years ago, Carrie and Jenna would never have suggested to Lena that I could tutor her. Do you think that's true?"

Holly sat there thinking, "To be honest, I'm a little surprised they did it this year."

"That's my point, you see them growing up and making different choices; choices based on what is the wise thing to do and not on the immature junior high way of thinking. Carrie, Jenna, Lena, they are mature, smart women, genuinely nice girls! I am honored that they let me be their friend and they don't back down from others who say things like 'How could you be HIS friend? That NERD?'"

"I see... that's interesting."

Charlie smiled at her, "You're making a mature, wise decision right now yourself!"

"Oh?"

"Yeah, I'm just being honest. This is the first real conversation you and I have ever had. When we were freshmen, what would have happened if I sat down here? You'd have stood up and walked away, probably without saying a word. True?"

Holly just looked at him. It took about thirty seconds for what he was saying to register in her head. While she thought, Charlie sized her up. She was one of the smaller girls on the cheer team. Her light brown hair was highlighted blonde. She was rather slim and not very busty, but when she smiled (which wasn't that often) it was a thing of beauty! She looked beautiful now because what Charlie said made her smile big!

"If what you're saying is true," she began, "then I owe you an apology. I guess I owe a lot of kids an apology."

"Nah, don't do that Holly; just be true to yourself like your friends do!"

"Know what?" she remarked, "I can see now why some of my teammates like you!"

"Yeah," Charlie replied modestly, "It certainly isn't because of my good looks." And right then, Charlie recognized the direction this conversation was going. If he wanted to, he could explore Holly's sexual mindset, or he could just play the "be my friend" card. He decided to play it cool for a while. "Holly, I'd love to talk some more, but my anatomy exam is in ninety minutes."

"Yes," she said, "Let's get back to work."

The next couple of days went off without a hitch or glitch. On Thursday morning he walked into his World History class and found the significant seat right behind Carrie unoccupied. As he walked by her to sit down, he touched her shoulder in greeting because she had her head down and didn't see him. "Morning, Care!"

"Hi Charlie, last exam for the semester, Thank God!"

"Yeah, starting at noon we can relax for two plus weeks! You ready for this one?"

"Oh yes, this class was one of those 'if you just pay attention, you'll do well,' classes. We got this, right?"

"For sure! How have things been going lately?"

"Pretty well, I wouldn't mind discussing it with you sometime. I always like to get your perspective on relationships."

"Maybe sometime this weekend huh?"

Carrie's face lit up as if she'd just thought of something. "You know what? I have plans tonight around 6:30, but do you have any plans after lunch?"

Charlie's face lit up too because he knew what was coming, "Nope, I was thinking about taking a nap!"

The blond cheerleader laughed, "I can think of a better activity!"

"Really? What is it?"

She laughed, "Acting stupid is SO unlike you!"

He grinned at her, "Wanna come to my apartment?"

"Tell you what," she replied, "Jenna gave me a ride to school today, you give me a ride home. We'll get some lunch and then celebrate."

"My car's on the far south side of the lot. I'll meet you there."

It didn't take long to complete the exam, and Charlie waited until he was sure Carrie had completed hers. Ten minutes later he got into his car, and five minutes after that she joined him. She pulled out her phone and started tapping out a text, "I didn't see Jenna, gotta let her know I have another ride."

"What sounds good for lunch?"

"We could split a sub?"

"Perfect!"

She laid a hand on his thigh, "By the way, let's go to my house instead of your apartment. My dad is away on business, and my mom is Rochester at my aunt's. She told me she wouldn't be home until after 9:00."

They picked up a combo at Subway to share, and sat down at her kitchen table to eat. "Hey Care? Did Holly happen to mention the nice conversation we had on Monday when you and Lena went to McClain's office?"

"Actually, she did! She said it was 'eye-opening.' I asked her what she meant, and she just said you were a lot more interesting than she thought."

"She's waking up," he replied, "I virtually told her she's maturing nicely!"

"Yeah, she told us you were very complimentary."

"I can see why you guys hang with her; the way she spoke, you all have a lot in common." They ate in silence for about a minute; a small smile began playing at the corners of Carrie's mouth and by the end of the sixty seconds, she was grinning! Charlie said, "What's on YOUR mind right there?"

"Oh nothing!"

Right then he knew what she was thinking, but he decided to force it out of her, "No, come on... what is it?"

Now she giggled, "I'm thinking you're going to fuck her!"

He burst out laughing, "I KNEW you were going to say that!"

"Well, are you?"

"I don't think so, I'm starting my new job on Monday; and I can't get too far ahead of myself." She was still grinning at him so he added, "I don't even know her hardly at all; doesn't she have a boyfriend or something?"

"She hasn't had a boyfriend since October, lately she's been following our love lives kinda closely just to keep her head in the game."

"Yeah? From the way she was talking, she doesn't know anything about the extent of our friendship."

Carrie smiled crookedly, "She has her suspicions, but you made me swear, remember? I haven't given her any details." The blonde cheerleader hesitated, "Do you want me to?"

"Oh my God, this could get way way WAY out of hand!" Charlie said. "I'm gonna have to say don't do it; but... if she asks you, don't lie. God, all these 'non-disclosure-agreements,' there's too many to keep track of!"

She laughed, "It's YOUR fault for being so good at what you do!" He gave her a weirdo look and she continued, "Like right now? I'm so fucking horny we might not make it to the bedroom!"

Charlie stopped. It was at that precise moment he began looking at Carrie in a whole new way. It wasn't what she said, it was the way she said it. There was something different in the way she was looking at him. His emotions were veering off into new territory. He wasn't sure it was love; but it was close, and he knew he better be very careful here. Rather than blurt out something stupid, he looked at her and said, "Thanks for being my friend, Care; would you mind if I use a cliche?"

"No, what?"

"Let's go get your brains fucked out!"

Carrie burst out laughing and got up from the table. She stripped off her shirt and bra, and cheerleader-shimmied around to Charlie's side of the table leaning over his face for a kiss. It wasn't passionate, it was fiery hot! She took one of his hands and placed it on her left breast, then leaned into him even tighter! Charlie's emotions were stirring him unbearably and his kisses zoomed past fiery into furious territory. It was so physical that after a minute, they both broke it up because someone was going to get hurt!

He pushed her back just enough to get her tits in his mouth, and she swung a leg over his lap, braced her hands against the back of his chair, and let him go after her breasts! "Ohhh... yeah... Fuckkkk!" she breathed. "Mmm... Unnnghhhh... UUGHHHNNGHHH... This is gonna... Fuckkkk... yeahhh... Suck my tittiesssss... Ohhh FUCKKKK!" Perhaps a minute later, Carrie pushed back and said, "C'mon, let's go to my room and get naked!"

In the twenty-five steps it took to get to her room, Charlie tried to force himself to slow down. When they got there, he reached for her jeans but she slapped his hand away. "Uh-uh, THIS time YOU have to get naked first, we always do it your way. Today? It's my way!"

Charlie smiled, "Your way, huh? What do you have in mind?"

"Sucking your beautiful dick... I need it bad!" He tried to help her take his clothes off, but she stopped him. "Just stand there, I got this!" She unbuttoned his shirt and threw it aside, then she undid his pants. When they dropped to the floor, she played with his bulge for a few seconds, then pushed his boxers down. He stepped out of them while Carrie sat on the bed. "Yeah... Fuckkk... I need this cock in my mouth sooo bad!"

He stepped in front of her and put his hands on her shoulders, "Have at it, my sexy, little vixen, just don't send me to the E. R.!"

She grinned and wrapped her hand around the base of his pole, angling it forward so she could slide it into her mouth. As she sucked it in, her tongue went to work on the spot just under the head. "Holy SHIT!" he exclaimed, "HOLY FUCKK!" If there was such a thing as a girl making out with a hard-on, Carrie was doing it! Her off hand was playing with his balls, and her eyes were fastened on his, gauging his reactions! He couldn't help himself, the cock-sucking was so good, he unconsciously began fucking her mouth!

His blond cheerleader friend was able to get his cock in farther and farther. At any moment, Charlie was sure she was going to gag him back out; (there were a lot of gagging sounds even;) but she never lost control! Charlie did! "CARRIE! You're gonna make me cum... Fuck Girl... I'm gonna...." Just as he said that she reached between his legs and started fingering his asshole, and thirty seconds of that was all it took! He roared, "FUUCCCKKKKK!" and erupted! With all the self-control he had in his body he resisted the urge to shove his cock all the way in... but SHE stayed in control and took down the whole load!

Charlie rolled away from her onto the bed moaning, "Oh my God, OH MY GOD!" She crawled up next to him wiping her mouth and giggling. He tried to look at her but his eyes wouldn't focus immediately. "Where the hell did you learn to do THAT?" he groaned.

She grinned and said, "You're not the only one who can do research, ya know!"

Charlie laughed weakly, "Holy shit, that was something else!"

Carrie draped an arm across him and whispered in his ear, "Let me know when you're ready to lick my clit!" Seeing him smile, she added, "God, I need to be fucked SO bad!"

Her dirty talk energized him; he knelt on the mattress and grabbed at her ankles, spinning her around and propping her butt up on his knees. Then he lifted her legs higher into the air with her pretty twat right in his face, and her legs splayed out to the sides. "My turn!" he declared, "You are in such fucking trouble now!"

Carrie was giggling non-stop, but when his tongue invaded her slit, the giggling stopped. "Oh GODDD!" she gasped over and over. By this time Charlie had a more complete understanding of how his blond friend liked to be eaten out, and he spent a good amount of time nibbling her outer pussy lips and then teasing her inner labia with the tip of his tongue! Carrie began huffing and moaning and crying out, "OH FUCKK!" as his mouth became more and more insistent! He knew she was close when she clutched at her tits, crushing them against her chest! That was when his tongue started lashing her clitoris. Carrie almost literally screamed, "Oh yessss! Uuunghhgghhnnnugn!" He locked his lips around her hardened button and sucked her off! With her ass shivering and shuddering in his hands, the orgasm detonated. He would have kept sucking, but she begged him to stop and lowered one knee against his chest to push him away!

"You can't be finished yet!" he teased.

Carrie flipped onto her side, "Oh my God... that fucking tongue! My pussy needs to rest a minute!"

Charlie crawled up next to her and squeezed her tits together, "Not too much rest though!" He licked and sucked at her nipples just enough to make her shiver again.

She looked into his eyes, "Just when I think we've done it all, you do something different. I don't think I've ever cum upside down before!"

"Must have been a good one, huh?"

"Oh my God!"

Charlie chuckled, "But speaking of 'doing it all,' the ONE thing we have to do every time, right?"

Carrie grinned, "Of course... sit on your face!"

"I'm gonna punish your cunt with my cock for sure... but face-sitting has to be a prerequisite!"

Then she giggled, "You are SO weird; okay, lay on your back!"

He complied and the horny blond climbed over his head with her pussy inches from his mouth. "I guess this is a small price to pay for getting that big cock in me!"

Charlie laughed, took her by the hips, and pulled her cunt onto his mouth. His tongue's first move was a surprise! Normally he would start slowly; this time he forced his tongue as deeply into her fuck hole as it would go! Carrie yelped and grabbed the sides of his head, "Holyyyy SHITTTT!" she cried. He took several, long, flat-tongued licks up and down her gash, each one more aggressive than the last. Carrie was gasping and groaning loudly. "You Fuck! Unnghhhggnnn, huhhhhhh, you're gonna... Oh my Godddd!" Then he focused on her clit and gave her what she really wanted, the pulsing sucking move that always produced an orgasm within seconds; and sure enough, twenty seconds later her ass froze above his mouth; and she shuddered hard twice before exploding, "OH GODDD! GODDDDD!"

He held her in place instead of letting her roll off; pulling her down he whispered coarsely into her ear, "Slide down, Care; ride me!" He helped her scootch lower and together they got his cock in position to enter her tunnel. Then Carrie sat up and his hard-on opened her slit and slid into her pussy! They locked eyes as inch after inch disappeared into her snatch! Charlie couldn't help himself, "Goddd, you are SO perfect!"

She balanced herself with two hands on his chest and began rocking her hips on his humongous dick! Because she had so recently cum, it didn't take long for another orgasm to gather itself! "Yeah, Oh my God, perfect!" she repeated. With their rhythm established he fucked up into her as aggressively as he could and Carrie's pussy responded, forcing her to cum again... and then thirty seconds later AGAIN! All she could do was cry out, "FUUCCCKKKK!" and then she rolled off onto her side.

Charlie slid over closer and held her. They smooched and cuddled as she rested and he finally said to her, "Are we done?"

"You're kidding, right? You always say you need me to sit on your face; well I need YOU to fuck me doggy! So for fifteen more minutes he pounded her from behind! She came twice more before his balls unloaded in her again. The good thing about being in her room was they could use the shower together to clean up. It was really sweet, and for the first time Charlie was struck by how close he felt to her emotionally! As he lay down in bed that night there were a lot of different scenarios playing in his head; yet all of them ended the same way with the words, "Be careful, Charlie! None of the outcomes with Carrie are running parallel to yours right now."

"Yeah," he said out loud, "Proceed with caution!"

The next day was Friday and Charlie went out to a couple consignment stores looking for a green polo or t-shirt for the party. Being a team manager, he already had a sharply cut, red sweat pant. The dress code was to try and wear Christmas colors; formality was not a priority. Krista and Donna had brought up the idea of ugly sweaters, and he was thankful that everyone else had quickly struck that down. He didn't find anything at the first store, but within ten minutes at the second, he found a fairly nice green polo shirt trimmed in white that would do very nicely. Then he went to Walmart and bought a forty dollar set of ear buds for the "white elephant" and a gift bag to put it in. Yes, the buds were double the announced limit, but he was determined to buy something that his friends would enjoy using.

After lunch he called Julie, "Hey you! I'm assuming you rocked your exams?"

"Yeah, everything's cool. Donna and Krista are meeting us in an hour to finish the set-up for the party. You're coming too, right?"

"Oh my God, good thing I called!"

"Don't tell me you forgot?"

"Okay, I won't tell you that; see you in an hour!"

With the five of them working together, they had the lights and decorations strung up around the room in about ninety minutes; Mark had already put up the artificial tree that his family always used for the rec room, so the only thing left was to decorate that.

As they opened the bins of decorations Mark said, "Ya know what you guys? In all the busyness of exams, we never finished the plans for the party. Like when people arrive we'll mix and dance for a while before we eat, then we'll do the 'white elephant.' But with only twelve people the gift exchange won't take all that long. What then?"

They looked at each other blankly for a minute. "This is going to take some thought," said Julie, "let's get this tree decorated and brainstorm." They all batted around a few ideas while finishing the tree, then sat down in the circle of the sofa. Donna began, "We certainly don't want to do 'Never Have I Ever' again; that was a lot of fun, but repeating it would be lame."

While the others brought up a couple of ideas (both of which were quickly rejected,) Charlie asked his Google search engine for suggestions. "Hey guys, I'm looking at these adult party games here. Most of them involve buying something, which we don't have time to do."

"Let's be honest," Krista interjected, "That game 'Never Have I Ever,' pushed our boundaries. It was REALLY out of the ordinary for us."

"Yeah," said Mark, "It was fun AND sexy!"

They sat for another minute thinking before Charlie said, "Maybe for this party, the next logical and easy choice is 'Truth or Dare?'"

Krista spoke up, "Oh, a bunch of us girls played that at a sleepover a few years ago. It was kinda stupid, really. 'Who do you like,' and 'Would you kiss so-and-so for a dollar' type stuff."

"Wait a second," said Mark, "The last game was lame also until we started asking the right questions."

"Yes," Krista added, "So each of us needs to come up with truths or dares that will force the group to open up like last time."

The room was buzzing now, and Charlie knew he had to become the calming influence. "Hold on now, people; I don't mind admitting I've seen a porn video or two where this game can get out of hand."

"Like how?" asked Julie.

"Orgy type stuff; we don't want it to go that far, right?"

Donna slyly said, "We don't?" and everyone burst out laughing!

When the laughter died, Charlie said, "No look, last party Gretchen hadn't even been kissed yet. You think some of our friends could handle a fuck-fest or something?"

"Okay, we need some boundaries then," said Krista.

"Right," said Charlie, "Like we can't just text everyone tonight and tell them to bring condoms."

There was another titter of laughter before Julie said, "Okay, boundary #1, no intercourse. What else?"

Mark spoke up, "How about you CAN'T opt out of a truth but you CAN opt out of a dare by paying five dollars."

"We haven't told anyone to bring extra cash," said Donna.

"Let's do it right now, and see what response we get." Krista suggested.

Julie picked up her phone and took a couple minutes to tap out a message. When finished, she read it, "Hey group, in addition to the White Elephant we're going to play a party game like we did last time. The cost will again be twenty dollars in singles. I need a quick answer, are you in?"

Charlie gave her a thumbs up, "I say send it," and everyone agreed. Secretly, Charlie decided to bring extra money for Vivian because she had not been at the first party and wouldn't know what to expect. Almost immediately three of their friends accepted the new financial arrangement, and by the time they were finished decorating the tree, the other four accepted as well.

They all stood back and admired the room, "I think we're ready," Mark stated, "everything looks great!"

"Yeah," Charlie replied, "and I've been thinking. When we start Truth or Dare everyone who wants to play puts five dollars into the hat. You can opt out of a truth for three dollars and opt out of a dare for six. One truth and two dares would all of your money and you're out."

Donna asked, "Who wins the pot?"

"Anyone still in the game puts their name in the hat and we draw a winner, okay?"

They all agreed and Mark added, "Anyone have a further thought?"

Krista spoke up, "You people realize that this could get really wild, MUCH wilder than our last party, true?"

"We're stretching the boundaries; that's for sure, but I'm open to any alternative suggestions."

No one said anything, and the smiles on their faces indicated they were looking forward to what might happen. As they headed for the stairs to go home, Mark laughed and Julie asked, "What's so funny?

He looked straight at Charlie and deadpanned, "Y'all realize something? Charlie just might have to play exhibitionist!"

The rest of them burst out laughing, but Charlie said, "Oh yeah? Well maybe I'll opt out of the game early!"

The next day Charlie knocked on Vivian's door at 5:30pm. She opened it and he almost laughed out loud because there she stood in one of the cutest, little elf dresses he'd ever seen! It was a perfect Christmas green trimmed in red and white, a black belt like Santa's, and cut a sexy four inches above the knee. "Wow," said Charlie, "Now THAT is impressive!"

Viv did a small twirl, "You like it, huh?"

"Yeah, it's perfect; I almost feel under dressed."

"C'mon in for a second, Charlie; my mom and dad want to meet you."

For the next two or three minutes there were the obligatory introductions, compliments, reminders, and whatevers like all first meetings of this type. Vivian's parents seemed very nice, and the only mommy question offered was when her mother asked, "What time will you be home?"

Viv looked at Charlie and he said, "Uh, is there a curfew?"

Her mom said, "How does 1:00am sound?"

"Oh Wow," Charlie replied, "We'll be back before then." The smile on Ms. Morales' face was one of approval.

They arrived at Mark's house just after 6:00. Mark and Julie were directing traffic again with both of them wearing identical Christmas sweaters. They knew Viv only slightly but gave her a warm hug, and when they checked her coat, Julie raved about the elf dress, "Oh my God, THAT is just the cutest thing ever!"

"Thank you!" she responded, "And you two are a very cute couple!"

"Of course we are!" Mark quipped. He looked at Charlie and said, "My Mom and Dad are out for the night, but I can tell you, they're almost always home by midnight on these occasions. So let's move things along accordingly." When Charlie nodded, Mark motioned to the stairs, "So okay, head on down there; we're waiting for one more couple."

Down in the rec room Lawrence was already set up; and he had a jazzy, instrumental rendition of "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" playing. Most everyone was gathered around the food table, so Charlie took the opportunity to introduce Vivian to all of them at the same time. Logan, Darrell, Krista, and Donna had been paired for this party, and they must have collaborated on what to wear because Logan was wearing a green shirt with a red Christmas tie, and Darrell had the opposite with a red tie. Krista and Donna were wearing complimentary blouses (white - trimmed in red and green) and matching mini-skirts, a VERY sexy look!

Charlie looked at them and said, "Oh, my God! What has gotten into you girls lately?"

They both laughed and Donna drawled, "Shocking, ain't it?"

"THAT is an understatement!"

Melanie was wearing a green, mid-calf dress which looked like it had been a bridesmaid's dress at some wedding. She was even showing a bit of cleavage which was most unusual for her. Her "Date" was Thomas and he looked liked Charlie in that his outfit was consignment store quality. In the middle of the introductions Gretchen and Connor came down the stairs. When he saw them, Charlie's eyes went wide because shy Gretchen must have gone all out! Her blond hair was highlighted in red and green and her Christmassy slacks and blouse smacked of Neiman Marcus or some other high end store. Connor was wearing green slacks, and a white, long-sleeved dress shirt complete with a red, jingle bell printed bow-tie.

Everyone looked awesome but Charlie and Thomas got nothing but snickers and a ribbing; Logan's comment was indicative, "Going on the cheap, right you guys?" They all laughed and Charlie gave him the finger which got even more laughs. They were off to a good start!

After thirty minutes of eating and connecting, Lawrence got their attention, "Okay kids, Let's get this thing started!" He turned up the volume on Brenda Lee singing, "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree!"

The whole group did their nerdy hesitation thing again. Even after breaking the ice at Mark's birthday party, it took them a minute to realize they were supposed to continue this new direction. Even Charlie said to Vivian, "Are we supposed to dance to THAT song?"

She laughed and grabbed his hand, "C'mon, we got this!" She pulled him clear of the table into the middle of the room and surprised everyone by shaking her ass in time to "Mistletoe hung where you can see" and pointing both forefingers at Charlie as if to say, "Hey, let's go!"

He was amazed at Viv thinking there was a lot more to this girl than he even realized! By the time the song was over, all twelve teens were "shakin' it!" Lawrence wore them out with five consecutive upbeat Christmas songs before he finally relented and the couples could slow dance. He even did three slow dance tunes where every two minutes he would call, "Switch Partners!" By the time these were over, Charlie had danced two minutes with every girl in the room! He walked by Lawrence at the end of it and gave him a thumbs up and a high five!

They all took a break then and got themselves a drink while Charlie and Mark arranged twelve chairs in a circle for the white elephant. Lawrence asked them to fetch their "gift," place it in the center of the circle, and take a seat; he then walked around with a bucket and they all picked a number from it. "Okay kids, #1 goes first and selects a gift to open. You open it and show everyone what you got. Then #2 has a choice, steal that first gift or open a new one. Each gift can only be stolen twice. The third person to own it, keeps it! Is everyone ready?"

Gretchen was #1 but from there the details get fuzzy. The whole point of the event was to mix and enjoy each other's company. There was a lot of laughter of course! Probably the biggest laugh came when Connor opened one of the gifts to find a cock-shaped "massager" inside. The whole room exploded in laughter; five minutes later the laughter went out of control when Melanie "stole" the vibrator from him! Vivian was laughing so hard she had to put a hand on Charlie's leg to keep from falling out of her chair! Lawrence was inspired to start the song, "Santa Baby" right in the middle of it!

Things finally settled down and they took a ten minute break to do "whatever." The guys tidied up the circle of chairs getting the room ready for "Truth or Dare." Charlie took advantage of the break to call the other four event planners into a corner of the room. "Look you guys, I was lying in bed last night and thought of some modifications to the rules that might make it work better. It involves every player answering the challenges. But time is limited tonight, if you trust me, let's get started. I think you'll like this!" No one objected, especially when they looked at the clock on the wall and noted that it was already 9:30; they would need to keep an eye on it.

Everyone sat down again, and Charlie took the floor. "Okay, my fellow nerds, remember last month we had a great time playing "Never Have I Ever?" The room started buzzing; they definitely remembered. Charlie paused for the dramatic effect, "This time we're going to try a little "Truth or Dare!" The buzz got louder; everyone in the room knew that last month the game got more and more risque. What would happen THIS time?

"Does everyone have their twenty dollars?" Most everyone did but Melanie and Gretchen had to get the cash from their purses. "All right, I'm going to start. but this is going to be a little different than anything you might have heard about this game before. I pick someone to answer, 'Truth or Dare?' That person will choose, but when they do, everybody in the room has to answer OR accept the dare. You have to ask yourself, 'Do I want to do it?' He pointed to the center of the circle, "See this bucket here? If you're going to play, you need to put $5.00 in now. Then if you decline to play a truth question, you have to put $3.00 in the bucket, and $6.00 for a dare. When everyone has been asked 'Truth or Dare' one time, we'll see what time it is before we keep playing. If someone runs out of money, the game is over. If the clock hits 11:45, the game is over. Is all of this clear enough?" There were a lot of heads nodding, so Charlie said, "Okay then, three more things, no one will be upset if you don't want to play; but put all your money in the bucket now. Anyone want out?" Nobody did, they were all smiling. "Okay, second thing, if you tell anyone... AND I mean anyone... what happens here tonight, we're going to kill you!" Even though He was smiling real big, it took them a split second to realize he was kidding, but he got his message across. "Last thing, no one here should ever be dared to do something that might result in injury.... OR" he paused again for the effect, "Pregnancy!" And the room exploded in laughter again!

"We're ready, Charlie," said Mark, "You go first!"

"Thomas, truth or dare?" His long-time friend almost looked surprised that Charlie would pick him first, so he said "truth" very quickly as if in self-defense. Charlie was leering at him, "Last month you and Gretchen had your first kiss ever, do you want to kiss your date tonight when you take her home?" He held up his hand, "Do you all understand that the 'truth' will adjust itself when you answer?" He turned to Melanie, "Like when YOU answer, you'll tell us if you want Thomas to kiss you! Got it?"

"I got it!" Melanie replied; and every head in the room nodded in accent.

Julie was sitting on Charlie's right; she leaned over and giggled at him, "Starting off with a bang I see!"

Charlie chuckled and said, "Okay, Peeps? If it's your turn to answer and you don't want to, get up and put $3.00 in the bowl.

Everyone was staring at Thomas, especially Melanie! He turned to her and said in a kind of shaky voice, "I'd love to!" The response of several people in the room was a loud "Wooo Hoooo!"

Charlie said to Melanie, "And YOU say?"

She blushed, "I say I wouldn't mind it."

The peer pressure was palpable; all the kids acquiesced in one way or another; no one paid $3.00.

So Charlie said, "Okay Thomas, your turn, pick someone."

Scanning the circle, Thomas said, "Krista, truth or dare?"

Krista looked at Charlie, her eyes were shining with excitement; when she did that, he thought to himself, "Oh my God, THIS is gonna be good!"

She didn't disappoint, Krista knew what to do, "Dare!"

Thomas' eyes settled on Logan, "I dare you to let Logan kiss you now!"

There was a collective gasp that was audible. Charlie was grinning; this was too perfect! "He said to the whole group, "See how this works? Essentially Thomas was 'daring' Logan to do the same thing. Now he's going to kiss her, but if she doesn't want to kiss in front of everybody, she has to pay $6.00. All good?" He turned to Logan, "Okay, kiss her or someone pays!"

He hesitated and looked at Krista for just a moment; and Krista said, "Well kiss me, I'm not paying!" and everyone laughed! Logan grinned then leaned over and laying a soft, five second kiss on her with just the barest hint of tongue! The room was tomb-like silent while they watched. When the kiss broke, three or four people applauded quietly. On the other side of Viv, Donna turned to Darrell and their kiss was a little clumsy, but they got applause as well. All the kisses were very nice... and then it got to Julie and Mark. Mark grabbed his girlfriend and twisted her across his lap (almost like a male dancer dipping his female partner.) Then with all the passion they could muster, the two of them went at it for a full twenty seconds!

Viv put a hand on Charlie's shoulder and rasped in his ear, "Holy Shit!"

When Julie straightened up he said to them, "THAT was beautiful you two; now it's Krista's turn!" She looked at Connor, "Connor, truth or dare?"

"Uh, truth?"

"On a scale of 1-10, how turned on are you right now?"

"Holy... Uh... Dammit, I..."

"You gonna pay? Or are you gonna tell us how horny you are?"

Connor reddened, "Um, No... I... Let's see... eight?" They went around the circle and no one said less than seven.

Charlie covered his mouth with his hand and said to Julie, "THIS is gonna get really good!" She grinned and he said to Connor, "Your turn!"

By now, all the kids were catching on. The previous game of "Never Have I Ever" had been a preview and now their group was about to step into a new level of erotic. Connor said, "Donna, truth or dare?"

Donna delivered, "Dare."

Even though he was catching on as well, you could see on his face that Connor expected her to say "truth." He thought for a short moment, then smiled and said to her, "Donna, you told us you were a nine on the 1-10 scale, I bet you'd be willing to flash us your boobs for ten seconds... I dare you!"

The smile never left her face; Charlie knew she would do it. He knew Krista and Julie would do it too! Would Viv? Probably. It was going to be interesting to see how everyone responded. Donna stood up but before she could start, Charlie said, "Now I want to be clear here, you girls have to flash your boobs, but you guys have to drop your pants. Clear enough? Julie laughed out loud and everyone stared at her. Charlie asked, "Alright, what's so funny, Jules?"

"I wish I had a picture of everybody's face when you said that, Charlie... Oh my God, that was funny!"

Charlie chuckled, "I bet! Okay Donna, you're starting!

Donna was blushing but there was no hesitation. She worked the blouse up over her bra and then pulled the bra up over her tits. Her big breasts fell into view with a quiver, and she did a cute little pose with her hands on her hips... turning this way and that to give everyone a good look!

Charlie saw their faces too! Those looks were Mastercard Priceless! Several mouths were hanging open, many kids were shifting weirdly in their chairs. When she covered up again, he said, "Oh my God, those are seriously gorgeous, Donna!" And if it hadn't dawned on him before, it did now! Charlie's big dick was hard as steel, and he was about to show the whole group... or... he could pay $6.00.

Donna's date Darrell stood and dropped his pants, his cock was maybe five inches and uncircumcised. When he turned in Donna's direction she gave his dick a playful tap with her fingers and made it swing back and forth! Everyone roared with laughter which made the ice break even further.

Logan got up and threw $6.00 in the bucket. A few people were heard, "Awww" but Charlie held up a hand. "No disparaging comments, please." Krista stood and pulled up her shirt and bra together. Her beautiful "B" cup breasts came into view, and it was totally apparent that her nipples were rock hard! She gave them several flicks with her forefingers and everyone murmured their approval.

Connor stood and dropped his pants to mid-thigh. His cock was circumcised and maybe six inches; classic! He was into this now; he kinda slouched, took his balls in one hand, and thrust his hips at the group as if he was fucking someone doggy. The room started rocking, "Wooo Hoooo!" Then it was shy Gretchen's turn. She sat for a good many seconds; Charlie could see the wheels were spinning frantically in her head.

"Whatcha gonna do, Gretch?"

It really was impressive when shy Gretchen stood and unbuttoned her blouse. Charlie could see her hands shaking, and her lips were pursed tightly together. She got the buttons undone and opened the blouse; then she slowly pulled her bra up over her breasts to reveal a pair of small "B" cup tits. Just the fact that this was her doing it was totally courageous! He heard three or four people murmuring more approval, "So cute!" and "Just beautiful!"

Thomas' five inch dick was only half hard when he revealed it. Charlie thought maybe the pressure got to him. But when he turned to his date Melanie, she looked at him and said, "May I help?"

Three people gasped, "Oh my God," and the rest of the comments were basically "Holy Shit!" Thomas looked startled but immediately took a half-step closer to her and put a hand on her shoulder. Mel gently wrapped her right hand around the base of his cock, her left hand felt up his ass. Charlie saw her face; her expression was like enraptured or enamored, or whatever poetic vocabulary one might want to use. It only took about a dozen strokes up and down his shaft, and she let it go because he was now crazy hard! The "Holy Shit's" got louder, and there was a lot of laughter too!

Since Melanie was in the spotlight, she stayed there by standing and peeling her dress down from the top. She was wearing a strapless bra and when the top came down, her cleavage looked even more impressive. In a very sexy move she inverted the cups and her really nice tits came into view. Charlie thought she might be a "C" cup, but her nipples were fucking beautiful; dark red with teats that looked like cherry gumdrops! He was so tempted to try and sneak a picture, but thought better of it.

Then... it was Mark's turn; he stood up and began going through his pants pockets as if he were going to drop the money. A couple people were going, "Aw... c'mon, Mark!" when suddenly, he grinned and said, "I'm kidding!" and he undid his pants. When his beautiful dick appeared, the response was amazing! Charlie heard Thomas and Logan murmur, "Fuck!" and the eyes of every girl in the room opened noticeably wider!

Then (rather than Mark covering up) he stayed standing while Julie arose and lifted her sweater up and off. She stood there for several seconds in her pretty bra, subtly posing as if she were a lingerie model. Vivian was squeezing Charlie's arm extremely hard, a sure sign of how aroused she was. With his pants STILL down Mark stepped behind Julie and unhooked her bra, and his girlfriend let it hang there, ostensibly to tease the rest of them.

It was at this moment Charlie was struck by the inexplicable transformation of their group. Somehow they had shifted from predictable tech-junkies to over-the-top party animals in one short month. He chuckled to himself; if anyone tried to explain this... who would believe it? Perhaps it was because "the five" had emboldened all of them, who knew? Anyway, the group watched intently as Julie reached for her boyfriend's cock (as if she were shaking hands with it) and jacked him gently just like Melanie had done.

Mark's eyes rolled into the back of his head, and Julie started giggling (but she didn't let go.) And then... it was awesome! Julie shrugged the bra off her shoulders and showed off her "B" cup boobs to the rest of them. There were a whole bunch of approving comments, and then things went two steps naughtier! Mark moved to Julie's side and sucked as much of her left tit into his mouth as he could! She threw her arm around his neck and held his head in place while he went at her boob! The room frickin' erupted! The eyes of most of them were bugging out of their heads!

Charlie let their show go on for a while but in the back of his head he was thinking, "What are Viv and I gonna have to do cuz we're next?" When Mark switched his sucking mouth to her right nipple, Charlie waited ten seconds and then said, "Okay, you two... go get a room; it's our turn!" That remark was a tension breaker, and the whole room erupted again, this time in laughter! When Mark and Julie pulled their clothes back on and sat down, they got a big round of applause!

Charlie caught Mark's eye and said out loud, "How are WE gonna follow that?" Everyone laughed some more. He turned to Vivian and said in a lower voice, "Are we ready?"

Viv didn't look intimidated. She said, "Let me go first, Charlie."

"Be my guest!"

And then, that little librarian minx stood up and called over to Lawrence. "Mr. D. J. Do you have a fast Christmas song? Maybe like Britney Spears 'My Only Wish?'"

Lawrence replied, "I HAVE that one! Hold on!" Fifteen seconds later... it started. Lawrence played it pounding loud!

They were about to see a whole new side of a Springfield High librarian student assistant! When it got through the first verse and Britney sang, "Santa Can you hear me?" Viv took off around the circle; her hips, arms, steps... everything in perfect time with the tune, almost as if she'd been practicing it for months! Charlie's hormones had been heating up before; now they were steaming. "Oh my God... this girl is sexier than fuck!" And then, when Britney sang, "Maybe I'll give myself to him all tied up in a big, red bow," Vivian did a spin type thing and came out of it taking off the elf dress. There was no way the dress could come off from the top; it had to be pulled up from the bottom over her head! That meant when the dress came off, she was dancing nude from the waist up with only her bikini panties to cover her.

Charlie heard them, Thomas, Connor, Mark, he heard them shout, "HOLY SHIT!" Viv was giggling back at them, but she kept dancing. Although small (as in "A" cup) Viv played with her breasts like a stripper would, palming and squeezing them and finger-tipping the nipples and teasing the hell outta the onlookers. The song was winding down. Britney was singing, "He's all I want, just for me underneath my Christmas tree. I'll be waiting for him there, Oh yeah!" During the final three bars of the song, Viv fell to her knees with legs spread. She slid her left hand down into her panties and appeared to be frigging herself! Her head lolled to the side; the final note played, and she pulled her hand out and licked the fingers!

For three seconds everyone sat there stunned or transfixed; Charlie couldn't tell which, but he was the first to jump up and applaud wildly, "Oh my God!" Then everyone was up, shouting and clapping! The five event planners looked at each other in fucking amazement! Then Charlie walked over and helped Vivian to her feet. He took her face in both hands and kissed her on the cheek whispering, "THAT was the most fun thing I've ever seen in my life!"

They got back to their chairs and someone passed her dress back to her. Viv put it on and they sat down. Lawrence started an instrumental version of "White Christmas" but the room was still buzzing. Charlie looked at the clock, 10:55; "Okay, Kids, we're running out of time and half of us still get one more challenge. Logan? It's your turn!"

"Wait a second, Charlie;" Logan replied, "Are you trying to wiggle out of the last dare?" He looked around the circle then said, "C'mon... YOU... play or pay!"

He looked at "The Five," shrugged his shoulders and chuckled. Mark said, "Well? Did you think you'd get away with it?"

Julie asked him, "Are you still hard?" When Charlie nodded, she added, "So?" When he still hesitated, Julie addressed the group, "Listen everyone, are we all perfectly clear on the rules? One of them was, what happens here is top secret! No one must find out what we did. Raise your hand and swear you'll keep all of it secret!" Every hand went up and Jules turned to him, "Okay, let's go!"

For a hot second, Charlie thought about paying the $6.00. But the moment was too erotic for that; so he turned to Vivian and said, "Will you help me?"

"Oh my God, for sure!"

He stood up and stepped in front of her. Viv undid his pants and then Charlie turned and faced the group. She pushed his pants and boxers to his knees and his monster cock bobbed into view. No one said a word; they were too busy trying to breathe! Viv reached around him and wrapped a hand around his pole stroking it erotically. That broke the silence a little bit. Several people were muttering, "Holy Fuck!" He stood there for about thirty seconds and gave them a good look; then pulled up his pants and walked over to the bucket.

"Alright now, there's $66.00 in here. Logan, do you want your money back?"

"Nah, I'm good."

"Tell you what, Logan; it's 11:05 and we have seven more people who need to take their final turn. That's not enough time. But who's gonna get the $66.00? I have an idea, wanna hear it?"

Logan looked slightly puzzled, but he nodded and said, "Sure, what is it?"

Charlie looked around the circle and said, "I dare any girl here, suck Logan's cock for thirty seconds and you can have the $66.00!"

It was really funny how everyone in the room was grinning from ear-to-ear; but the girls were silent and the guys were vocal, "Holy Shit!" and "Oh my God!" and "What the fuck?"

Charlie was laughing to himself about how perplexed they looked. He said, "I guess it's only fair to ask him first... you okay with this dare?" Logan just sat there with his lips pursed; Charlie could tell he was struggling with an idea that he really wanted to do, but something was blocking him. Going over to Logan he leaned down and said to him quietly, "I guarantee there's a girl here who will take the dare, but you're hesitating because you think your cock is too small." Logan swallowed hard. "It's just like me, Logan; I didn't want the whole world to know about my junk; and by the way, have you ever had your dick sucked before?"

He shook his head, "No."

"There's nothing like it in the whole world... well, almost nothing! Don't worry... GO for it!"

Logan grimaced, then a slight smile appeared, "Okay, let's try it!"

Lawrence was playing the Christmas song by Mariah Carey, "I don't want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need..." and Charlie turned to Logan's date Krista, "You're his date, wanna take the dare?"

Krista was being Krista, "Of course I'll do it; I'd love to... but I don't want the money."

Charlie stuck the bills in his pocket, "I'll take them then!" and everyone laughed. "Okay, Kris, he's all yours!"

Logan stood up and turned to his date. Krista played it up beautifully by slowly unbuckling his belt and drawing his pants down. Sure enough, Logan's erection was only a little larger than four inches, but Krista had no reaction to that. Her left hand reached for his balls and she fondled them and licked at his cock and acted it like it was the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen!

By this time Charlie had sat down again and Vivian was grabbing at his arm, "We're going to keep all this a secret," she said in his ear, "But even if we told someone, they'd never believe it anyway."

Krista sucked Logan's cock into her mouth and went to work on it! Right from the get-go Logan was yelping and squirming under the sensations that he'd never felt in his whole life! Right about at the thirty second mark, she stopped abruptly, looked at the group and said, "Wow, that was a FUN dare!" Charlie rightly surmised that she sensed Logan was going to blow his load, and didn't want that scenario.

That was the climax of the party, no pun intended. As they were cleaning up, Charlie and Mark went over to Lawrence. They didn't say a word, but he did. "Don't worry, guys. Your parties are so entertaining I'd be a fool to betray you.

Mark just said, "Thanks, Lawrence!"

When they were about to leave, Gretchen (of all people) said to them, "Hey everyone, can I have your attention?" She looked at Julie, "Julie, truth or dare?"

Julie giggled and said, "Truth."

"When's the next party?"

As they got in the car it was exactly 11:45. Charlie said to Vivian, "So, my little dancer friend, did you enjoy that?"

"That was the best party of my whole life!" Charlie laughed and she said, "Well, wait a second, on my sixth birthday I did get to ride a pony!"

He laughed even more; but then said, "Hey Viv, I have to have you home by 1:00, are you interested in riding something else?"

"Oh my God, YES!"

They hurried back to his apartment and spent the next forty-five minutes frantically fucking and sucking each other. It was great!

Charlie would have liked to lay with her all night but he finally pulled her close and kissed her again, "Did my little elf enjoy that too?"

"Oh yeah," she replied, "How did my little pony like it?"
