A Long Night Out with Keith and Tatton (Part 2) – Mad Chaos: October 15, 1998

Views: 1

Keith and I walked to Simon’s door and Tatton shined a flashlight connected to the lighter part in the car. As we knocked and knocked there was no answer and considering we were in Thirlmere and there was no chance of break and enters we tried to open the door. Gathering that people weren’t scared of crime in these parts was the basis of our opening the door and what do you know, it was open. Turning on the hall light Keith started speaking out loud “Hello, Simon, are you awake.” That was done several times and then feeling a bit guilty for having invaded his house like that we closed the door and made our way to the car. Giving the news to Phoenix and Tatton we didn’t want to invade his house so Phoenix opted to walk into his house and wake up Simon. Of course, little Phoenix needed someone to go with her and leading the way Keith and I followed behind her.

Opening the door and turning on the light once again. Walking to the bedroom Phoenix turned on the light and to our surprise our constant yelling didn’t wake up the lump on the bed known as Simon. Finally he came to his senses and woke up realizing there were people in his house, especially Phoenix. From there I walked outside and invited Tatton into the house with the news. Simon was half asleep as he jumped out of bed and as he did we all found our spots in the lounge room. Deciding that I didn’t want to sit on the couch where Phoenix might sit I chose an lone chair and decided to play that role. Tatton sat on the couch and then Phoenix sat near him. Tatton was bothering Phoenix as he usually does and he was being a spastic and stupid. Because of that Phoenix moved to one side of the seat and then used her not wanting to sit next to Tatton as an excuse asked Keith to sit next to her. Keith happily accepted knowing that he’s cheated on Tamsen at least three times before and Phoenix was happily taking charge of another situation.

When the seating was arranged Simon sat by himself on a lounge and then we looked for some movies to put on. After some ‘House Party’ type movie was placed in the video player we chucked on ‘The Lion King’ as Phoenix wanted to watch it. During this intermission Phoenix told me that I was being a bit quiet and it was true. Upon picking up Phoenix I was being a bit more tactful and defensive in some sort. Instead of opening my mouth I chose to play the role of the strong mute who’s words mean much but are few. That worked to a degree but in reality, I didn’t really feel like talking that much. My conversation picked up later in the night anyway and as we started to get bored of ‘The Lion King’ and Phoenix knowing every word I jumped onto the internet to cause a diversion in the seating arrangements.

Checking my E-Mail Address for some new mail from Gianna I was surprised to find that there was absolutely none there. Gianna must have really been scared off by Lyssa on the phone because she sent hate mail about me to Tatton but not to me, pretty scared. While I was on the internet and upon turning it straight off after that I noticed the school photos were coming out of Simon. To my surprise Zola was in them and looking at her she did look fairly pretty. Looking around for Jewell in the pictures I did notice that she was one year below, didn’t matter anyway, they were the ‘Lost Years’. As we all took our seats one more it was a bit more mixed as Phoenix now sat with Simon. Tatton sat in my seat and Keith sprawled over the whole lounge. Myself, I sat in a seat eating banana’s, pretty much blackened in the skin pigmentation but edible.

The night is growing long, the time is 1:44 a.m. and I do feel that I need to get some sleep. So for that reason I must write the rest of this chapter of Tuesday night and Wednesday morning in my next issue. This is like a three part thriller, what do you know, maybe even four. Since I have no plans for tomorrow I will get to work on this in the morning when my mind is fresh and not sleepy. So here I split but luckily I have my mind to aid me of my story tomorrow and just under three pages of point facts.

Thursday 1:10 p.m.

The sun is shining, at least outside, the heat is procured by my body, well it will be when I’ve finished this entry. Entailing such details from a three part saga, I continue, aware and listening to some tunes on my CD player. Today I had no plans but to visit Campbelltown and get some more prints of my résumé done. I’m not sure if that will still happen, depends on how long I spend here. Tomorrow I had plans of traveling to the City and handing my Resume to some agencies but having to travel to the Gym tomorrow I might have to leave that until early Monday.

Now where was I, yes at Simon’s house just finishing up on the computer and we all sat back down to watch the ‘Lion King’ after viewing some school year photos. The mood was somewhat more relaxed now, from me anyway. Thinking of strip poker in my head I asked Simon if he had any playing cards and then when he told me that he did I suggested playing strip poker. To get the ball rolling you do what you have to do, Keith was eager to start up the game. Simon looked eager, that’s why he went looking for some playing cards. Tatton was being himself and Phoenix was being quiet and as the cards were brought out I said that I can’t play against guys unless there is a lady playing or present. Phoenix then proclaimed her necessity not to play and insisting that she did she kept her mind away from stripping.

Keith and I made our way to Simon’s parents bedroom hoping that Phoenix would follow but before we did I asked her once more to come in and watch. Phoenix seemed eager and walking to the bathroom she made her way to the bedroom. Tatton didn’t want to play and neither did Simon so they kept their ass’s in the lounge room. Phoenix still didn’t want to play so Keith and I started the ball rolling with a game of 13. The first to lose was me so I took off one of my socks then once again another of my socks. Tatton and Simon then came into the room and there was the five of us lying on Simon’s parents water bed.

Phoenix was content with just watching and as we kept playing more and more I kept losing. It came to the stage where I had to take my shirt off and knowing that I didn’t want to go that far in front of all these subjective eyes I kept it on. The mood changed when Keith asked if Simon had any porno movies or rather, his parents. After some of Keith’s persuasion Simon took the movies out and we all knew what Keith’s plans were, so did Phoenix, she’s not that dumb. Keith was touching Phoenix whenever he could with excuses, sort of like lifting up part of her shirt and saying “Simon can you see in there.” Pretty lame attempts they were but one thing led to another and while watching XXX movies we all lay under the blankets of a twin sized water bed. Phoenix was lying on one post of the bed and me on the other when playing cards and I was right next to her face. This time Phoenix was lying right in front of me and being the judgmental type I didn’t pounce until it was right.
