Episode #19: "Surprise!!!"  Steve sprang up the stairs to the second level of the motel and walked quickly to the room that Cathie had called from. She had left the door ajar.He opened the door and entered the darkened room. He spoke in a hushed voice, suitable for an illicit tryst."I'm so glad you've decided to give yourself to me, Cathie! I knew it was only a matter of time before I broke down your resolve!"Steve continued speaking as he removed his clothes."I must admit you did put up quite a fight! But let's face it, my powers of persuasion are too much for any mere mortal to resist!"He left on only his bikini briefs, and put his favorite rattlesnakeskin cowboy boots back on before climbing into the bed."So, you like to have the lights off, do you? Shy, are we?" chuckled Steve as he got under the covers.Steve moved closer and put his arms around his date. Suddenly the lights in the room came on. Jo and Wally began shooting picture after picture, the flash from the cameras blinding Steve for a full minute afterward."WHAT THE BLOODY HELL!!" yelled Steve, bolting upright. In bed beside him was Paulette, the transvestite, who posed kissing Steve on the cheek, "her" arms around him, smiling and giggling. Paulette was in on the setup, knowing his name would be forever linked to Steve's in the worldwide publicity that would surely result from the photographs.After snapping the photos, Jo and Wally ran from the room to get the film to a safe place where Steve couldn't get to it.Paulette quickly rose from the bed, wearing a silk pink nightie, did a cute little curtsy with an air kiss toward Steve, then ran giggling with dainty little steps in his high heeled slippers out of the room.Before Steve could get up out of the bed, Cathie cracked her whip within a foot of his head. Steve recoiled back onto the bed."YOU SLIMY RATBASTARD WEASEL! DID YOU THINK I WOULD EVER SLEEP WITH YOU, YOU VERMIN!" yelled Cathie. "Now if you go lying in that courtroom about Francesca committing that murder, pictures of you in bed with a transvestite will be on the cover of every sleazy tabloid on earth!Paulette and Jo returned to the room carrying rope and tied Steve to the bed. Jo gagged him as Sneena announced near the pool that the party could recommence.The doors to the rooms flew open and the celebration continued long into the morning hours with dancing, swimming and drinking. Many had their photos taken lying alongside Steve, who was tied to the bed for almost an hour before Taylor showed up, had mercy on him and untied him.Everyone at the motel party enjoyed themselves immensely except Steve, who called for his limo as soon as he was free. He was calm and didn't lose his cool. But before leaving he found Cathie and had the last word."Go right ahead and publish those pictures! Do you think I care? To me, there's no such thing as bad publicity, sweetheart! I hope you enjoyed your little stunt, because it cost you! It cost you big time! You just sent our dear little Francesca to the electric chair!" said Steve.He stomped off to his limo. It roared away with Steve flipping the bird out of the window toward Cathie as she watched. Cathie's high spirits sank quickly into a feeling of anxiety. Had she made a terrible blunder? Would Steve really call her bluff?Don't miss the next exciting episode! |
