Ash laughed. “Oh my God, do you really think so?!”
“Maybe.”
“Or one is kidnapper,” added Slavanka.
I nodded. “That’s possible too. Ghostie did say that the Locatelli’s enforcer was in town.”
“What?!” asked Ash. All the color rushed from her face.
“Why are you so surprised? I told you this right after we got off of the plane. And we talked about it again when we went to fake jail.”
“We did?” She looked confused.
Ooooh.She didn’t remember. She’d been drunk on banana juice from the flight. Better to play it off. “I’m just joking.”Kind of.It was entirely possible that the enforcer was here. And if he was, I was ready for him.
“Oh thank God.” She looked relieved. And a little more sober than a second ago.
Nope. That won’t do.I had to think quickly. And then it hit me. “Have you ever heard of spin the banana?”
“No! What’s that?” She leaned forward on her elbows to hear my response. She looked so excited. And just as drunk as before we started talking about kidnappers.
This is gonna be fun.Especially since any minute now they’d surely send me a more well-endowed monkey man to play with.
Ready to Mingle - Chapter 14 - Spin the Banana
Friday – September 13, 2013
“Spin the banana is a combination of spin the bottle and truth or dare,” I said. “Each person gives a dare. And to determine who has to do it, we spin a banana.”
Ash’s mouth dropped open. “Oh my God. This sounds amazing! Let’s play!”
Score!“Okay, we just need a banana.” I looked around for one, but there were none to be found. “Damn it. Where are all the actual bananas?”
Ash gave me a sassy look. “See? I told you that my décor was better. And I still think it was a huge missed opportunity for them to not have any banana bread.”
“I get banana,” said Slavanka. She jumped out of her seat, walked over to one of the fake banana trees, and shimmied right up it. Her ass was everywhere thanks to her super short dress, but she didn’t seem to care. She reached the top in record time and yanked one of the banana shaped neon lights off the tree. Sparks flew everywhere as she slid back down. She pulled her dress down and walked back to the table like what she’d done was completely normal.
“Here,” she said, plopping the banana down in the center of the table.
“Holy shit, Slavanka!” I reached over to give her a high five. “That was amazing! Where’d you learn to climb like that?”
“Power lines in village break lots. I fix.”
“You’re a woman of many talents. Maybe we’ll learn about a few more during this game.” I wiggled my eyebrows at her. It was time to begin. And honestly…there was only one proper way to start a game of spin the banana. “First dare: shove a banana down your throat.” I spun the banana.
It spun and spun and spun.
Please land on me.
A rather well-endowed stripper had just walked by. And I very much wanted to shove his banana down my throat.
After like twenty rotations, the bananafinallystarted to slow down. It went past Zoraida. Past Esme. Past me.
Damn!Oooh! Is it gonna land on Ash?If it did, it would be the perfect excuse for her to chase down the stripper from earlier. Or to try another.
But alas, it was not to be.
The banana spunjustpast Ash to land on Slavanka.
