Loosen up.

Beth stared at the back of her house, lost in thought. Whether it was the booze, the weed, or the sexual gratification, she felt a lot better. Good thing none of those were in short supply tonight. She licked her lips. That stuff with James and Kat was great, but she needed cock. She could see it, a great big cock just swinging back and forth, getting bigger in her-

"Beth!" A voice snapped her out of her reverie. It belonged to Curtis, Beth realized. Just like the big swinging dick she was staring at. "You ok?"

She giggled. He was out of breath and naked. Holy shit, Curtis and Joseph fucked! "You fucked!"

Joseph came from behind and put his arms around Curtis, his left hand snaking downwards as Curtis leaned back to kiss his ear. "Of course," he said with a smirk. "We're in love."

James and Kat were talking. "...to join them?" Kat was asking. "Or rest a little?"

Beth fell back and closed her eyes, too sleepy to deal with any of this. "Nah, y'all can stop being in love though." She remembered something. "And somebody get me another fucking joint."

Within seconds she felt the papery tip between her lips and heard the flick of a lighter, so she inhaled and opened her eyes. Marcus and Joseph were hurriedly dressing and Kat was putting away her lighter. The silence was way too tense. "Ugh. Can you guys please just be cool about what just happened?"

To her surprise, the atmosphere immediately brightened. "Thanks," Marcus sighed as he sat down. "That was pretty awkward."

Beth stared at them and they stared back at her. "You really have to do whatever I say, huh?"

James stepped towards her. "Well, it's more like-"

"Bark like a dog!" Beth interrupted him.

James actually winked at her. "You got it. Arf! Arrrrr arf arf!"

She pointed at Joseph. "Forget your last name!" At Kat. "Uh..."

"...masturbate on the lawn?" Kat suggested.

"What? Ew, no! Fucking, I don't know, write me a poem! What the fuck?"

Kat nodded. "Ok. Where do you keep your pen and paper?"

"Kitchen junk drawer. Marcus! Um, meow like a cat."

Marcus took a long drag off of his joint. "Meeeoowwww," he said in a goofy falsetto, then they both burst out laughing. Beth couldn't stop laughing at his goofy-ass face. "Marcus, you dork! Where's my beer?"

Grinning, he hopped up and ran into the kitchen. James and Joseph were just smiling at her and she took another drag off of her joint. Or had she finished it? Did someone light her a new one? Her friends were taking such good care of her.

"You guys are taking such good care of me," she said lazily. She felt really good and wanted them to feel good too. "You oughta feel great. Like, amazing, better than you've ever felt, great! Come on, wouldn't that be awesome?"

The whole crew broke out in spontaneous laughter. "Holy shit!" Joseph screamed, doubled over. Marcus was weeping with laughter. "Goddamn, warn us before you do something like that! I feel like I got hit by a fucking good vibes train!"

Beth was laughing too. It got so weird earlier but now everyone was feeling good, everyone was going with flow...

"Wait a minute, where the hell's Kat?" she asked.
