Double No

Tom dashed to the bathroom, his hands covered in sticky semen. As he frantically washed them, he couldn't help but hear the conversation upstairs:

"No, let's stop," said the guy, his voice strained. "I don't feel so good...oh, I need to drink."

"May I finish you off at least?" asked the girl.

"Please," the guy replied with a groan. "I'm sorry...not now, I feel dizzy."

The girl sounded concerned: "Okay..." But Tom could hear a note of disappointment in her voice as well.

As he dried his hands on a towel, Tom thought to himself, "Fuck that was close! If I'd sat there just for a few more seconds..."

He finished cleaning up and headed back out to the living room. Sarah stood there with a puzzled expression on her face.

"What happened?" she asked, gesturing to the wet spots on the couch.

Tom tried to play it off: "I spilled my drink on the couch...nothing major."

Sarah nodded slowly before adding, "I was talking with Ann and we're planning to meet tomorrow."

"Which Ann?" Tom inquired as he began cleaning up the mess.

"The Ed's wife," Sarah replied.

Tom paused for a moment before replying simply: "Ah, okay."

As he continued wiping down the couch, Tom couldn't help but notice how quiet it had become upstairs. He wondered if maybe his neighbours were done for the night.

But then he heard the guy's voice again: "I don't know… for a second I thought I was going to die. Maybe we should not take too much of them at once."

The girl sounded apologetic: "I'm sorry, I got carried away a bit."

"It's alright," her boyfriend reassured her. "Just let's not experiment with this stuff."

Tom sat back down on the couch. Suddenly, he heard footsteps and then the girl's voice: "...oh wow, you pull up little weight...no shit you got so dizzy, probably your whole body blood supply was rebalanced. How are you feeling?"

The guy sounded amazed: "I feel amazing… like never before."

There was a pause before the girl asked tentatively: "How about now? Can we continue?"

Tom held his breath as he waited for the guy's response.

"I can't see why not," came the reply, and Tom could almost hear the grin in his voice.

The sounds of kissing filled the air, along with soft moans.

"Oh I feel it also got little more weight… mmm," the girl murmured between kisses.

Tom leaned back against the couch cushions, his heart racing as he listened to every sound coming from above him. As their neighbours continued, Tom found himself growing more and more aroused. His hands wandered downwards instinctively before he caught himself.

"No," he muttered firmly, "Not now."

But even as he tried to focus on something else — anything else. His mind kept drifting back.

Tom shook his head and stood up abruptly. This was getting out of hand. He needed a distraction, fast. And he knew exactly where to find one.

"I think I'm going to take a shower."
