Throw Pillow

There really wasn't much. But he noticed a little throw pillow on one of the outdoor benches. He really didn't like his options, but he had to do something, and quick. The party could easily pile back outside at any minute and he'd be left naked in front of all of them.

He emerges out of the pool and scurries over to the pillow. There were no towels left so he had to go inside soaking wet. He grabs the pillow and places it in front of his crotch. As he does, he notices some text written on it:

"Big things come in small packages!"

Alex was wondering if he did something in a past life to deserve this punishment. But he couldn't dwell on it. He saw two silhouettes in the kitchen walking around talking. He scurries around the corner to hide. But from his corner he heard a door open. It was someone throwing away a bag of trash. Alex runs off and ducks underneath the kitchen window. He could hear the two people talking. Two women.

"This was a great party, were you as excited as I was when Alex showed up?"

"YES! Tyler's been talking about him since I met him in Journalism. I can see why he's crazy about him, did you see him in those shorts!?"

They both giggle. Good god, Alex went from being the wallflower to the Man of the Hour. Their giggling fades as they go back into the living room with the screaming fans. Now Alex can move. He tiptoes back to the door that led into the kitchen. Coast is clear. He was now gripping his little pillow with both hands, shaking. He could be caught naked any second. He hears the party react to a play to the game. Maybe he can sneak by now before the game dies down.
