Bed delivered beers

“Wake up dickhead,” a voice was calling as Mark slept in on Saturday morning.

“OI!” the voice finally awoken Mark.

Slowly opening his eyes, he realised it was a guy standing at the side of his bed, cracking open a beer.

“Here mate, get this down you right now,” he said.

Rubbing his eyes, Mark sat up in his bed. It was the Australian exchange student, Macca who was offering him a can of Budweiser. He had a cigarette sitting above his ear and was wearing a black buttoned short sleeve shirt with none of those buttons done up.

He pushed the van into Mark’s hand and waited for him to start drinking it. It was the last thing he wanted to do at 9:30 in the morning but he didn’t have an option here.

Taking a sip, he shook his head at the taste of beer in the early morning. This was when he noticed Matt was still here too, sitting on a wheel chair, all dressed, holding a can of Bud Light.

“Sorry Mark, Macca wants us to get on it early for the carnival,” he apologised for his Australian friend.

The next few minutes, he barely got down any of it, taking small sips at a time.

“Come on cunt, just neck it,” he said, encouraging him to skull.

“Whoa! What the heck, what did you just call me?” Mark replied, thinking he was having a go at him.

Matt suddenly jumped in, getting out of his chair, “Oh Mark it’s alright, just ignore that, he’s Australian, apparently they call everyone the C-word,” he explained.

“Bloody oath we do,” Macca said before skulling everything he had left in his can.

Not particularly wanting to be called a cunt again, Mark tired to speed up his drinking. He eventually finished it while listening to the other two talk shit. Macca insisted that Mark now owed him a beer so he had to get up and get down to the carnival to shout his round.

Feeling like he was being played by an Aussie, Mark reluctantly got up earlier than planned so he could get Macca away from him.

A quick snack, a shower, a change of clothes and the three were now out in the main courtyards for the Hall tournament Carnival. It was the perfect day for it, sunny, bright skies but not too hot. Straight away, from a distance, they could see the top of the Ferris wheel, spinning around slowly.

They had done a fantastic job with turning around the empty courtyards and fields into a proper looking carnival. True to Tiffany’s word, there were food trucks lined up next to one another, a bar area, plenty of small carnival games, a massive jumping castle and the dodgem cars.

“Let’s go to the bar fellas,” Macca said straight away, sending them in that direction.

Wanting to get him off his back, Mark bought the Aussie a drink before sneaking off from the two as soon as they weren’t looking.

For the next hour or so, Mark met up with his good mate Daniel and started to waste money on little carnival games that he knew he never had a shot on.

Finishing up on one, Mark let Daniel in on his sexual adventure with Jess last night. “Best pussy ever man, I’m not kidding, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since,” he told him.

“Fucking hell man, you have to be the luckiest guy I know. I’d genuinely suck off any guy she asked me too if it meant I could spend one night with her,” Daniel said.

“That must be one hell of a girl,” a voice then said, just behind them.

The two boys turned to see Tiffany standing there with her boyfriend Travis. Daniel immediately felt embarrassed that they heard him say that, his face turned bright red as they all had a little bit of a chuckle.

“So what time are they announcing the winner?” Mark asked, taking the attention away from his friend.

“6PM I believe, so make sure you’re near the stage area we set up for when the announcement happens,” she told him.

He took a moment to check out her outfit for the day. Tiffany looked dressed for a festival, she had these long white flare-style patterned pants with a matching white patterned tube top. Her long brown hair was down past her shoulders, all of it curled.

“You guys want to get a drink with us,” Travis then said, standing above everyone by a decent amount due to his incredible height.

As much as he wanted to spend more time with Tiffany alone, he didn’t have much of a choice here. “Yeah sure, we’ll come with you guys,” he politely said.

Mark, Tiffany, Travis and Daniel all made their way to the bar to grab themselves a drink just before lunch.
