Living Dolls 05
——————-
I had barely left Sloanes Steak House and was in car when my phone chirped letting me know I had received a text.
I pulled my phone and saw it was from a familiar number.
Keith: Hey dude we’re having a gaming night and not sure if you have the day off or not. You interested?
I smiled seeing the text as Keith was my long time friend and hadn’t spoken to him in nearly four months.
I quickly text back, ‘Just let me get home and I’ll be online ready’ and turned on my car before putting into drive and headed home.
I got home and stripped out of my attire getting into my normal gaming attire which was a simple pair of shorts and my old white T that was now suddenly too tight.
I sat down in my gaming setup, turned on my computer, started the game once my computer was on, turned on my camera and put on my headsets, and logged into the personal server where my friends and I play.
The moment I logged into the server I heard a cacophony of voices as they all welcomed me as it had been a LONG minute since I had logged on let alone heard from each of the voices.
On the server was Keith Winters, my long time friend. Jason Bald. Chris Johnson. And Larry Smith.
All of us were friends who grew up together. Most of my friends had gotten college scholarships and went off to college while I didn’t and didn’t have enough financial security to get a loan so I ended up staying in the same city to build a life.
I heard from each one as they basically said the same thing ‘Welcome back.’
I smiled almost a tear coming from my eye after not hearing their voices for nearly four months due to a conflict in schedules. Because I usually worked nights and slept most of the days and had infrequent days off my day off hardly aligned with their school schedules. The only time where our schedules aligned was when they had breaks.
Usually Keith would text me about the gaming event and most times I would have to decline saying I had work but tonight I was actually free.
The ‘Welcome Backs’ were quickly changed to ‘Holy Shit Dude’ as my camera showed the group my new look.
I laughed, again completely forgetting about my recent development, as I spoke, “Yeah recent change.”
Keith was the first to speak, “Well you’re looking good man. Been hitting the gym regularly or something?”
I shook my head lightly chuckling, “No. Recent event. I’m still getting used to it.”
Keith mused before speaking, “Well kudos for you dude. I’m proud for you. You look more happy than I had seen you.”
I laughed again, “Yeah another recent development.”
Jason spoke, “That’s a lot of recent developments dude. What’s your secret?”
I chuckled, “I doubt you’d believe me.”
Larry spoke, “Whatever you’re doing is working. My gf who is online on the game is kind of staring at you semi drooling.”
A feminine voice quickly spoke, “Oh my god, no I’m not?”
Larry chuckled, “Oh really? Then why are you looking for your toy?”
All the men started laughing as I spoke, “Yeah guys, I got a question if you don’t mind me asking?”
All them grunted basically saying ‘Shoot’ before I started speaking, “If you all had gotten an item that basically changed your life, would you use it?”
Larry was the first to speak, “What kind of an item?”
I spoke, “Just an item that could improve your life. Would you use it?”
Larry immediately spoke, “Duh!”
The female in the group spoke, “Does this ‘item’ cause any negative things to happen?”
Larry quickly chimed in, “He just say IMPROVED meaning there’s no downsides.”
The female, his girlfriend, spoke, “He didn’t say there would be downsides to the improvement.”
Larry argued, “How in the fuck can an item that IMPROVES your life have negative downsides?”
The girlfriend spoke, “Maybe the improvement forces him to do things he doesn’t want to do. Or makes changes that he sees as negative.”
Larry blurted, “How in the fuck does that make sense?”
I spoke to calm them down, “No no no. Nothing negative.” I chuckled, “I mean aside from forcing me outside my bubble and outside of my comforts it has been completely good.”
Keith spoke, “Wait, you’re saying that this item is real?”
Jason added, “Is that why you look like a greek god now?”
I smirked, “No, this item isn’t real.” I shrugged, “I’m just asking IF there was such an item. Would you use it?”
Keith squinted at me, “What would this item do?”
I shrugged, “I don’t know. Maybe improve your finances. Have woman suddenly hit on you. Maybe change your life.”
Keith squinted at me before I saw I had a private chat….from him.
Keith: Alright dude, spill it. And just here. No one else knows we’re chatting I made this private.
I sighed and replied: Let’s just say an item came into my life and has gifted me my new appearance and suddenly women are hitting on me and so far my finances has improved.
Keith: So your appearance is new?
I kadıköy escort replied: Yes.
Keith: You haven’t been hitting the gym because last time I saw you you were skinny and not so muscular.
I sighed: I know.
Keith: So this new appearance is BECAUSE of this ‘item’?
Me: yes.
Keith: Care to share this item? Wouldn’t mind having your body without having to work for it.
Me: Afraid it’s one of a kind and already gone.
Keith:???
Me: Sigh. An item came into the mail. I didn’t order it. And I researched it it didn’t make any sense because it came from an unknown company and a location that doesn’t make any sense. I put on the item reluctantly because I was too curious. After about 12 hours it disappeared and when I woke I had my new appearance. Since then girls have been hitting on me left and right when previously I was overlooked. And so far I had won a scratcher that I normally don’t win.
Keith: So an ‘item’ came in from an unknown location and unknown origins. Gave you your new physique. Has changed your demeanor and a sudden attraction from the opposite sex. Plus you’ve won ONE scratcher.
Suddenly I remembered the scratchers…..and the lotto.
Me: Hold on.
I got up and left my gaming setting as everyone on the screen voiced ‘Where you going dude?’ before I heard Keith speak ‘He’s just getting a drink I think.’ I smiled as I thought ‘Thanks Keith’.
I went into my living room where I dropped my bag of holding backpack and walked back into my gaming room.
I pulled out a can coffee from the other day that I didn’t drink and found it was still colder than shit like when I had put it into the bag. I held up it for the camera to show the crowd that I was getting a coffee. Then I reached into the bag to produce the unused scratchers I hadn’t scratched and the lotto ticket I had purchased for the 1.8 billion.
First I scratched at the scratchers.
I had six $1 scratchers, six $5 scratchers, two $10 scratchers, one $30 scratcher, and one $50 scratcher.
Of the six $1 scratchers I blinked in shock as ALL of them were winners. Two of them were $5 winnings. Two were $1 dollar winnings. One was a $100 winner. And the last was a $200 winner.
I confirmed them on my phone using the lotto scanner telling me the winners.
The six $5 scratchers were also ALL winners. I blinked as I had two $10, one $25, one $50 and three $2 winners.
Of the two $10 scratchers, one was a bust and the other was a $10,000 winner.
The $30 scratcher, the 230 million cash explosion, I blinked in surprise that I had won the $2.5 million prize.
And even more surprising I had won the set for life scratcher that was $50 for $250,000 for 20 years.
I knew some of the scratchers would be winners as I usually win $1 here $1 there, sometimes a few extra occasionally. Not win so many and a few being the BIG winners.
I blinked shocked at the scratchers as I scanned the big winners a couple of times to make sure I wasn’t dreaming.
Then came the lotto ticket. I fucking won. And a few lines were winners as well.
I pinched myself.
My computer chimed telling me that my chat window was up.
I looked at the screen.
Keith: What is it?
I remembered the news caster as saying I won might be detrimental to my health so I lied.
Me: Oh I had some scratchers and decided to scratch them real quick.
Keith: And?
Me: I won some big ticket items.
Keith: Holy shit thats amazing!!! Which ones?
Me: $2.5 from one scratcher and $250,000 for the next 20 years.
Keith: That’s amazing dude. What about the lotto? I hear someone in our city won the 1.8 billion, did you play?
Me: Yeah I played but I only won like $30 or so bucks back.
Keith: Shame. But still cool.
Me: What should I do about the scratchers?”
Keith: Sign them and follow what the instructions tell you to do I guess.
Me: Should I get an accountant or something? I’ve never won this much.
Keith: Hmmmmmm…..go talk to my dad. He’s a financial advisor. He should be able to tell you what to do about the scratchers.
Me: Ok cool.
Keith: Now lets get back to the game dude.
Me: Right.
And I played for the next several hours completely forgetting about time as the sun started to shine through the windows and made me realize the time as I spoke, “Shit!”
The crew all chimed, “What?”
I spoke, “I got a date for coffee and I’ll be late.”
There were laughter before Keith spoke, “Well I guess I should hit the sack. Haven’t played this long in a LONG time.”
There were mutual agreements as everyone started to voice their own tiredness after gaming ALL night.
I said my goodbyes to everyone involved and quickly signed off lightly cursing my stupidity for not sleeping when I knew I had a date in the morning with Alison Grisham.
I looked at the time and barely remembered my conversation with Keith noting that ümraniye escort I needed to speak to his dad. I quickly signed the scratchers with my name and signed the back of the lotto ticket before putting them in my bag of holding backpack confirming they took slots in my mind with everything else.
Then I got up and quickly stripped out of my clothes before I hopped in the shower to do a military shower, basically just go in wash up as fast as you can then jump out. Then I dried off quickly rolling some deodorant and sprayed some cologne on before I brushed my teeth and finger combed my hair. Quickly got dressed, grabbed my bog of holding backpack, and ran out the door to meet Alison at the coffee shop that she had selected.
I drove a little out of my way as it seemed Alison chose a coffee place that was either close to her place or was close to her station because across the street was a cop station.
When I walked in I immediately felt out of place as it was clear the coffee house had just about every cop in there.
I wanted to make a joke that this coffee house MUST be the safest coffee place in town.
When I walked in I immediately knew I was out of place because every cop in uniform immediately looked at me making me feeling like a criminal but smiled pretending I didn’t feel out of place as I walked up to the cashier.
Before I could walk up to the cashier I felt something in my back and a commanding female voice speak, “Hands up in the air!”
I immediately put my hands up like rockets were attached to my wrists.
I wildly looked around to see uniformed cops instantly put their hands on the weapons but at the same time were relaxed in their posture as they looked at me with a straight face.
Just then Alison’s face was beside me smiling, “Thought you were going to stand me up for a minute.”
I felt like I was visibly sweating…..and I was still holding my arms up….like an idiot.
I lightly looked around to see the other cops had relaxed and stopped paying attention to me but I still had to ask the stupid question, “Can I put my arms down?”
Alison chuckled, “Sure.”
I put my arms down and turned slightly to face her, “Phew, thanks.” I lightly looked around before I looked at Alison, “So a cop shop?”
Alison looked around chuckling before looking at me with smirk, “Let’s just say I wanted to be protected in case you’re some type of murderer.”
I wanted to make a joke but was too scared to think of a good one let alone say it out loud so instead I nervously chuckled, “No need to worry about that.”
Alison smiled at me, “So feel like a latte?”
I looked at her, “With EXTRA shots please.”
Alison smirked, “Ahhh, so I take it your date with Melanie went well?”
I shrugged with a smirk, “I mean it went well and all that,” I looked at her smiling, “my dumbass was just playing video games until the wee hours so I’m a little knackered.”
Alison rose her eyebrow at me for a moment to where I blurted, “What?”
Alison held up her hands smirking, “Nothing.” She walked forward to the cashier and spoke, “Can I get a liquid cocaine no sugar,” she looked at me, “and what do you want?”
I rose my eyebrow not knowing what the hell she ordered, “What the HELL is liquid cocaine?”
Alison smirked, “Eight shots of espresso with a splash of milk and eight pumps of liquid cane sugar.”
I thought how tired I was and thought that might keep me from falling asleep so I spoke, “Actually can I have that as well. Same way.”
Alison smirked as she faced the cashier, “Make that two. Same way.”
The cashier nodded and rang up Alison, “That’ll be $22.50.”
Alison waved her card over the reader as it beeped saying the amount was paid and walked a few steps over to wait for the order as I followed her.
I smiled, “I’m surprised you actually wanted to see me.”
Alison faced me with a raised eyebrow, “Why is that?”
I rubbed at the back of my head, “I mean, I’ve never had a cop ask me out like you two did?”
Alison looked around for a moment eyeing the cops before looking at me flatly, “Be careful how you word that.”
I looked around not sure what she was implying before I looked back, “Okkk….”
Alison sighed, “We’re not supposed to do what we did, so be careful.”
I nodded, “Ok.” I looked at her, “But still I’m not used to it.”
Alison chuckled, “I don’t see why not. You’re cute.” She shrugged, “And you seem like a normal guy.”
I chuckled, “Sure if you consider a normal guy a gamer who has no life.”
Alison smirked, “Show me a person who isn’t buried in work that doesn’t have a life.” She sighed, “No, the only ones with a life are the criminals and uber rich.”
I rose my eyebrow, “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Alison shrugged as she shook her head, “Never mind. Just ignore me.”
I looked at her outfit noting the HUGE difference, like Melanie, as Alison was frankly a knock out.
Alison IN UNIFORM, when ataşehir escort I saw her, stood about 5’1″ being a little bit taller than Melanie Hicks. Had blonde hair pulled into a tight bun. Had a cute babydoll face with makeup to accentuate her facial features and highlight her blue eyes while the rest of her was in uniform and a HUGE body armor with all sorts of things attached to it.
Alison OUT OF UNIFORM, still stood about 5’1″ but now she had let her blonde hair hang down to about her middle back. She was wearing loose fitting clothing but could tell there was a body under her loose fitting clothing.
It was weird it was almost like I could sense her body had amazing curves and a body that didn’t quit.
I tried to ignore the sensation I was getting from Alison that told me about her body but I couldn’t look away as if my vision was telling me ALL about her body without really knowing it.
Alison caught my leering eyes as she spoke, “What?”
I blinked and shook my head quickly as I spoke, “Nothing just didn’t notice how cute you look.”
Alison visibly blushed as she spoke with a smirk, “I bet you say that to ALL the ladies.”
I couldn’t help myself as I answered, “Only the ones that deserve it.”
Again Alison blushed as the cashier brought out the tall cups.
Alison quickly accepted her cup and offered me the twin cup before she walked off and easily found a pair of chairs against a table and looked at me, “Is here alright?”
The moment Alison referenced the table the cops who were near automatically moved to give us room but watched as the remained in ear shot.
I mumbled, “Sure,” as I took a chair across from Alison as she sat on the high chair across from me.
I took a sip of the coffee causing Alison to speak, “How is it?”
I winced as I tried to not make too many faces before I spoke hoarsely, “Jesus!! This shit is STRONG!!!”
Alison giggled, “What do you expect? It’s pure espresso.”
I panted a little bit, “I feel like I can hear colors now.” I watched as a couple of cops that were within earshot snorted as they were clearly listening in on our conversation.
Alison giggled more as she spoke, “Yeah it takes a little getting used to.”
I blurted, “USED TO?” I don’t know why but I felt safe as I continued, “Bitch, I can HEAR my hair growing because of this shit!”
That got a cop standing behind me to chortle as they tried to not listen in. I looked behind me to see the cop try to do everything they could to look elsewhere without looking at me.
Alison giggle as she spoke, “Yeah well when you drink it as often as I have then it just tastes like water.”
I blinked, “HOW?”
Alison shook her head with a smirk, “Lots of overtime and lots of things.”
She looked at me, “So how well exactly did your date last night go?”
I was still looking at the coffee cup wondering how it wasn’t fucking melting as I shrugged, “It went alright.”
Alison rose her eyebrow at me that I caught when I looked up from the coffee cup once I made sure it wasn’t melting before I sighed, “If you’re asking if I sealed the deal then no. She was very lady like.” Then I mumbled, “Besides the lotto kind of ruined the night,” as I took another sip of the heart exploding concoction and was noting that I wasn’t making AS many facial expressions as I first did now that I was used to the taste.
Alison tilted her head, “What was that?”
I coughed and spoke more loudly, “I said ‘Besides the lotto kind of ruined the night.'”
Alison chuckled, “Yeah Melanie told me about that. She told me she wanted to rush home and check her ticket.” She smiled, “Apparently someone won the lotto at the same convenience store where we connected and made a date the other day.” She laughed, “She told me she didn’t win.”
Then she blinked as she looked at me, “Wait! Did you?”
I had to play my poker hand as I made my face go as stoic as possible before I spoke, “Nope.” I smirked, “Unless you consider winning a few hundred bucks as the winner?”
Alison sighed but was smiling, “Shame. And here I thought I was talking to a billionaire just now.”
Yeah…..about that……
I kept my face stoic but smirked, “Just your average schmoe I’m afraid.”
Alison quickly changed topics with an evil smirk, “I heard she made you eat oysters.”
I rolled my eyes without twitching from the coffee and remembered feeling like I was cheated out of something last night, “Yeah, I did.” I looked at Alison, “But it was her idea. I thought she was hinting at sex so I greedily ate the oysters hoping I could prove something.”
Alison laughed loudly as she took a sip of her coffee before she set it down, “That sounds like Melanie alright.”
I rose my eyebrow semi curious before Alison chuckled, “Don’t worry about it. Melanie just likes testing her dates.” She smiled at me, “But from the sounds of it sounds like you aced her little test.”
If my eyebrow could go any higher it would have so instead of trying to raise my eyebrow higher I tilted my head confused causing Alison to laugh more, “I talked to her last night after your date.” She smiled at me, “If you want my input sounds like you did all the right things to keep her interested to where she’ll more than likely ask you for another date.”
I spoke quizzically, “Which you’re ok with?”
