Nothing to see yet.

Luke always dreamed about coming to Marlene's house, just with more clothes on...at first. The women stopped Luke in the entryway as Marlene rushed on ahead. Luke was still feeling self-conscious so he continued to clutch his package until Taylor smacked away his hands.

"Okay, here's the skinny: No covering up. We keep this simple. All you have to do is go into the living room and dance like you mean it."

"Wait, dance? Dance for whom exactly?" Luke was beginning to doubt his decision about coming inside Marlene's house.

"Just a small gathering of friends Hanes," Sienna spoke next. Luke wanted to correct her on the name but she just ignored him and kept talking, "we have been keeping things going so far with **** and gossip but they came to this small party expecting a little more entertainment. You're here so that we don't disappoint them, that's all."

"How many people are here?" Luke asked.

"Not important," Taylor chimed in "all you have to do is play your part, get paid, then go home."

Luke was still skeptical. He bit down on his thumb with a case of the nerves. "I don't know if I can do this. I think I'm in way over my head here."

"Just relax, nobody's is expecting much. All you have to do is dance around for one song once we start the music. That will be you're cue."

Luke's heart rate increased, "I just don't know if I can go out there and dance around in my underwear! What if there is someone there who recognizes me? What if I get nervous and runaway? I don't think I could stand to see the looks on their faces!" Luke was beginning to panic.

"Alright, alright, calm down, sheesh. I think I got something that can help," Sienna pulled out a cloth she had lying around and tied it securely around Luke's eyes, blinding him. "there, now they can't see you're eyes to recognize who you are and you won't have to look at them as you perform."

Luke touched the blindfold around his eyes with his fingertips, "Wait, how will I..." Luke's question got interrupted by Marlene's booming voice from another room that seemed to be projected through a microphone.

"Greetings everyone, are you ready to have some fun? I know I am! As you already know, our original performer bailed on us last minute so we had to get creative just to put on a little show. Today we have some spur of the moment entertainment courtesy of a friend of mine. Be sure to thank him for filling in on such brief notice." Marlene chuckled at her own pun. "Now, I would like to introduce you to...our tightey-whitey white knight, the one-man band in an elastic band, the blindfolded boy with a bubble butt, the underdog in underwear...give it up for our barely-dressed hero: Hanes!"

Luke didn't know whether or not he should feel grateful for the fact that Marlene didn't call out his real name. Still, he did not like that nickname. He also didn't know what to do once he was introduced nor did he know where to go because he was blindfolded. The two girls that were still with him pushed Luke through the hall until he was left standing in the middle of what he assumed was an open room. Luke still couldn't see anything but he heard a few gasps at his entry that almost led him to believe that there were more people at this party than what Sienna let on. Luke just stood stiff for a moment with his arms at his sides as he heard both Taylor and Sienna's footsteps walk away but not before Taylor whispered in his ear, "Remember, spin around from time to time and sway those hips a lot. Oh, and have fun cuz why not?" All traces of the girls vanished as the music started playing loudly. It was upbeat and club-like; the type of music you can jam out to.

Luke swallowed back his fear. Oh well, I'm here now. Might as well earn that pay. Luke thought. Emboldened by his lack of vision, Luke just followed Taylor's advice and started swaying his hips. Not knowing who was looking at him gave him the confidence to dance like no one was watching so that is exactly what he did. Luke spun around in circles, waved his arms about, played air guitar, gyrated his hips, and high-jumped kicked throughout the song. The the music was almost deafening but Luke could vaguely hear cheering coming in his direction. Feeling a little ego boost from being praised, Luke became completely unencumbered as he temporarily forgot he was dancing in front of strangers in just his tighty-whiteys. This oversight compelled him to dance more enthusiastically if you can believe it. Luke glided across the dance floor as he ran his hands across his hair and body as if he were some kind of shower gel model.

By the time the music stopped playing, Luke was sweating from head-to-toe with his heart racing from all the excitement. As Luke stopped dancing, a roar of applause, whistles, and cheers filled in the silence immediately. This definitely sounded like there were way more people here then he originally thought.

As the applause died down, Luke was left wondering, what happens next? Now that he had played his part what should he do? Should he go and find the girls to collect his payment right away? Should he leave now and collect it later? Luke had nothing to do now but stand there in his briefs pondering his next course of action. The decision however, was taken out of Luke's hands as he heard voices call from the people before him, "Hey wait a minute, lets get a good look at his eyes." "Yeah, he actually looks familiar. Do I know him?" "I definitely wanna see what he looks like underneath that blindfold."

Luke heard footsteps approach him. He stiffened not knowing how to react. Blind, he didn't know where to run to or whether or not if he could or should. He knew nothing of what was going on around him. Alas, not making a quick decision allowed whoever owned those footsteps to walk right behind him and untie the blindfold. As the cloth fell to the floor, Luke blinked as his eyes took a moment to readjust to the light. Looking ahead of him, Luke's eyes widened as he took in the sight of what lie before him.
