New Times

TOPLESS

 

Ray and Irv are double dating this coming Friday. One young lady, very young , 18 year old Helen, is stacked, has reddish hair that allows her black part to reveal the red is a dye. Her long fingernails are painted almost the same shade as her hair. Slightly protruding teeth sometimes whistle when she sings in Ray's ear while they are making out.

 

If there were ever a contest for opposites in females, Helen and Millie might win two tickets to an old Tarzan movie. Millie has natural blond hair. It's soft and reaches to her shoulders. She wears little make-up, bites her finger nails and wears a healthy 36 D bra. Ira knows that for fact as he checked out the label.

 

The four of them can't fit into Ray's gray rumble seat car and Irv's black Buick, with the vases and paper flowers between the windows, has a flat. Irv doesn't happen to have three bucks to get a retread.
When the girls find out they have to go to the party on the trolley they are really mad. They glance at each other, don't have the guts to leave the guys and go home. They all walk a few blocks, stand on the trolley platform and wait for the sound of the metal wheels to stop. Ray hops on first and puts his hand out to help Helen get up the high step. Ira waits to go behind Millie where he might get a quick look up her dress.  Four nickels click as they drop in the coin receptacle.

 

They bounce, they jounce, cuss a little. Faces are sullen. 'How much further is this party?' Millie asks. Ray shrugs his shoulders. He isn't sure but they have to transfer when they get to Madison Ave. The girls erupt. Together they refuse to transfer. Helen fools with her hair that is already a mess and needs combing. Millie's legs are tired and she needs a comfortable place to sit down. The woven straw seats are hard as rocks and her tush hurts. They build a case against their dates, enlarge all of the discomforts, move towards the front exit where the conductor sits. The street car slows down from some movement to no movement at all. The front door won't open. Two ladies carrying heavy shopping bags wait to board, bang on the door, but it just doesn't budge. Quickly they walk to the rear exit door and force themselves on as other passengers leave. Only the two ladies, Ray, Irv, the conductor and the old man who opens the door for those who want to get off, remain aboard.

 

The girls are gone. Ray and Irv use the paid for transfers and go to the party stag. They don't complain to each other as there are more girls at the party than boys and they have choices. Ray introduces himself to Julia whose blouse is full and low. Irv wanders around for a while, drinks too much apple cider and has to pee.

 

A good looking guy takes his hand and leads him to the bathroom, where Irv pees and Josh watches.
