Adventures in Pantyland
Chillin'
On the Roof
I
don't know about you, but my life feels out of control on
any given day. Between overdue oil changes, overdrawn checking
accounts, and dirty, empty refrigerators, I'm overwhelmed
by the slightest addition to the delicate balance of life.
So when, luscious young goddess-esque ladies magically appear
in my bathroom right after a roll in the leaves with a man
literally out of my dreams, giving over to it seems the only
way to go.
Ms. Waterfall toes, Goddess-au-Naturelle, has followed me
out of the bathroom into the hall. Every step she takes, I
hear a distinct tinkle from her feet. She sounds like the
inside of a raindrop falling. And the sound, bizarre as it
is, soothes me as I back out into the hall. Her supernatural
manner has me flabbergasted, but her watery charm subsides
my panic.
"Garlemon and I are old friends," she teases. Is
she trying to make me jealous. There's no room in my jumbled
mind for emotion. Her hand reaches out to my cheek, stroking
away my tousled, leaf-laden hair. Her touch gives me goose
bumps. Not the scary kind, the ticklish, arousing kind.
"Oh," I barely whisper. I struggle to find some
inner Self. Some part of me that is strong, and clear-headed,
like a rock in Her river. But the feeling of being swept along
by circumstance has never been greater. My Self rising up
my spine easily swoons with her powerful current.
"Come with me" she says, pulling her hand from my
face and taking my hand, with a delicate squeeze. Before I
think, we are flying. Really, flying through the air. My hall's
low ceilings are stifling, but she winds us up and out the
chimney so fast, I only reconstruct our path after we are
outside. Here on the roof I can breathe freely. My towel has
slipped away and I am naked, covered in soot, flitting above
my house. The air is cold, and the sensation of no ground
intensifies my chill.
My body is light, almost as if air is rushing through me.
I am stimulated. The shock and confusion are dulled by the
adventure. I gasp as I look down and see Garlemon, a small
figure below. Puffing on a dream cigarette, he reminds me
of a teenage boy sneaking a deep adolescent moment out back.
"Who in heaven are you?" I ask my goddess guide,
turning myself around mid-air to face her perfectly unsooty,
un-goose-bumped, smooth, fleshy Self.
"I'm Pasha. Your Dryad Nyad Princess. A water nymph with
a flair for air. A friend."
"Okaaaay" I drawl, with a valley tone, embarrassingly
childish and human. Clearly, she is no ordinary gal but somehow
I have no language with which to talk to otherworldly beings.
I resign myself to mockery.
"So what's next Elemental Babe? You have a plan for me?"
I cringe.
Pasha,blinks and sparkly drops splash my face. A delicious
sensation.
She smiles.
"Honey child, I am your blessing. Enjoy the ride. Now
tell me, how does the air feel?"
"Cold....active...wouldn't mind to have my toes back
on something solid. Maybe a robe would be nice... why am I
here?" I'm loosening up. Honest words begin to roll off
my tongue again. My sarcasm is at bay, for the moment.
"Yes, a robe" Pasha calls back to me, as she swoops
away. The rush of air stops and I am standing on my solid
feet again. Garlemon, looks up at the sky, catching sight
of me on the roof. He laughs so loud the sky seems to thunder.
"Where do you keep your ladder" he yells, as he
gets off the leaves and stubs out his cigarette.
"Under the porch" I screech down. My voice is shot.
I'm cold and I feel dumb up here all naked and vulnerable.
I STILL haven't brushed my teeth or had any cereal.
