Chapter 4: Next Door

Lila and Dan were camping out on his bed, listening to the ruckus from next door. “Sally sounds pretty happy with him. What’s his secret?” wondered Dan.

“I’m not sure, but I definitely caught her crotch-watching him yesterday.”

“Wait, women do that?”

“Of course they do! Don’t you guys, like, look sideways at the row of urinals?”

“Um...”

“Don’t be silly. I know you do.”

“Maybe. It’s not something I would admit, being straight and all.”

“You’re a film actor. Aren’t there rules in our guild that require you to be, at least, bisexual?”

“Of course not. I will admit, though, that I have received offers from all types of people. I passed on a couple of parts because the casting director was, um, expectant.”

“That is so fucked up. But, you’re single, right?”

“I am. You?”

“Yep. Really, there aren’t many men looking for women my height.”

“Well, that’s just stupid. You’re very attractive.”

“Thank you, Dan. It’s nice to be appreciated. But I need to clarify. I do get many offers from men, but they’re creepy. They want me to satisfy their fantasies by pretending to be a young girl. In other words, they are pedophiles who want to have legal but twisted sex. Porn exists featuring small women, some even shorter than I am.

“Oh, God, that’s horrible. I’ve never understood this fascination with underage-looking women. To be honest, even shaved pussies don’t appeal to me. Worst of all is licking stubble.”

“I’m with you. I don’t shave; I just trim a little bit. That’s why I trailed you into this room today. I want to see if your pubic hair is also blue.”

“Oh, well. I’m embarrassed. Natalie came to me and explained that when we get to the fortress and meet the lady in charge, she’s going to chain me up naked for her, um, entertainment.”

“You’re kidding! We’re making ‘Star Porn’?”

“Not exactly. There will be varying releases for different markets. In some, I’ll be wearing a loincloth; in others, I’ll be nude but blurred; and in some, I’ll be fully exposed. So, yes, I dyed all of it: my head, my pits, and my pubes. I even tried to dye my leg hair.”

“OMG. Dan, this is crazy. I might not be in that scene, and I’ll miss seeing you. You said you were single. What can I do to convince you to show me your wild blue yonder?”

“You can’t be serious.”

“I’m completely serious. First, there were all those sounds from the room next door, and since then we’ve been talking about crotch-watching and about pubic hair. Crotch-watching is obviously inevitable, given my height. Dan, I’m sitting in a puddle here, imagining you naked. Throw a girl a bone, willya?”

“You really want to see all of me, my bone included?”

“I promise you won’t regret it.”

“I’ll make a deal with you. You also have to undress. If you don’t allow me to see you, then you won’t see me. Is that fair?”

Lila didn’t answer him in words. Instead, she flung off her t-shirt and started fondling her boobs. They were technically just size B, but on her small frame, they seemed huge.
