Blake Thomas, Aspiring Nobody, Part One

So time and time again, I've tried my hand at story writing and to say the least, it never got very far. Well now I have a way of keeping up an posting my stories, which means that you, the fine people of the world, get to have a look at my progress. Feedback, pointers, suggestions are always welcome and I hope you enjoy. :)


He was in a basement that he didn’t want to be in, with a girl he wasn’t interested in, at a party that he wasn’t invited to, hosted by someone, he didn’t particularly care for. The elements combined to form a situation so perfectly unpleasant that he couldn’t believe it. She had trapped him. She had convinced his friends to bring him along. He was going to spend the night the same way he spent the last three nights. By staying up late playing video games and texting the girl he met at the movies last month when he moved back in town, instead he was trapped like a captive slave. They had history and it was that history, combined with his newfound friend, that caused him to lose interest in her and if he was in this situation about a month ago, he probably wouldn’t be trying weasel his way out of it.
                “Christ Kaitlyn! What the hell are you even doing here!?” he exclaimed, focused more on finishing what was left of his drink than her actions. “Don’t you have work in the morning? You should be at home in bed, not stalking me around this shitty party!”
                He continued cursing her as he stumbled down the stairs in a half drunken rage. She had purposely bumped him causing him to spill most of his drink all over his shirt and pants. She then rushed him towards the basement, telling him that she was really good friends with the host and that she wouldn’t mind if she washed his clothes really quickly. He protested claiming to just want to go home. He really didn’t care where he went, anywhere was better than where he was now.
                “I’m so so sorry Blakie-poo.” she feigned an apology. “Go over towards that corner”, she pointed deeper into the basement, “there’s a washer and dryer over there.”
                She was still trying to make it all seem accidental and she was trying too hard. If Blake hadn’t been drinking, he probably would have caught on and just left. He wasn’t entirely drunk either. He was sober enough to know what was going on, yet just inebriated enough that he couldn’t do anything about it. He definitely wasn’t the life of the party either so it’s not as if anyone would notice that he was missing. He had no escape.
                “Christ!” he exclaimed again, “I can’t see a damn thing down here, and I’ve told you about calling me that”
He didn’t dare attempt to try to get his phone out to use it as a light source. With his luck he’d fumble it and kick into some dark crevice, never to be seen again. Instead he stood there and waited for something to happen. Kaitlyn had disappeared and he hadn’t noticed it, he was too focused on exploring the bottom of his cup. Perhaps he had realized the futility of his situation and hoped he could escape mentally since there was no physical way out. It was a hopeless effort, he reached the bottom of his cup and it left him more disappointed and unsatisfied than the party did.
“Damn” he muttered to himself as he tossed the empty cup to the ground. Noisily, it bounced around the cold concrete floor for a few seconds before it fell silent. He could still hear the music and chatter from the party, muffled by insulation and actually desired to return despite how out of place he felt up there. Suddenly, after what felt like an eternity, lights started to flicker on and the first thing he noticed was Kaitlyn standing before him, half-naked. He quickly looked away, surveying the now lit basement so as to not give her the attention that she so desperately wanted. It was a cozy little basement and apparently someone’s living quarters. A television sat in the far corner atop a stack of milk crates and across from it was a foldout couch with Kaitlyn’s clothes slung over the back of it. Several outfits hung from the pipes and supports and trash cluttered the floor around the couch. Beside him also, just as Kaitlyn indicated, was an old washing and drying unit that appeared to be from the dark ages.
“You don’t have to look away, I want you to see me” She said seductively.
He tried to continue looking away but couldn’t. He had looked at and observed everything in the room but her. Kaitlyn was neat and cleanly groomed from head to toe.  She was in a colorful, flowery lace undergarment set that stood out against her pale freckled skin. It was very girly and made him feel childish and embarrassed. Her hair, a blazing red, fell neatly on her pale shoulders like a tower of flames burning beautifully atop a valley of clouds (if that makes any sense). Her eyes were a deep oceanic blue. Her body was solid and sleek, her features finely carved out.  She bore her body in all its perfection, shamelessly before him.
Blake was on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. He had long wirey blonde hair that he constantly had to brush out of his face and usually held it in place with a hat or bandanna. His eyes were a mesmerizing green and his face devoid of any blemish. He was of average height and had a well built frame. He worked out and it showed but not so much that he was extremely muscular, just enough that he looked in shape.
Kaitlyn walked towards him and began tugging at his clothes. “What do you think you’re doing?” Blake slurred, swatting at her hands.

She urged him to take off his clothes and he continued to refuse, but it wasn’t until she started pulling his clothes off that he realized that he was too drunk to resist. The alcohol hit him and he was a bit happy that it did. Everything became a blur. He couldn’t think straight, or even stand up straight for that matter.  He stumbled around and faintly felt himself being guided across the room. The room began to spin, colors and lights began to swirl together. He collapsed on the couch, hands holding his throbbing head. Kaitlyn climb on top of him as he slurred forth one last futile attempt at resistance. The blurring intensified and made his stomach turn. He tried looking away from the lights, from Kaitlyn to no avail. Closing his eyes, he found that it made things slightly better. He shut them tight, and did not open the for the remainder of the night.
