Surprise! It's me again! This week has just flown by, and we're a bit late posting these. Whoops! But hey, we're not going to leave you hanging without your prompt fix. I have two great ones to share with you.

Prompt 378 – Creative

Prompt 379 – Creative
Tag – Birthday Revenge
Four months ago your partner’ had their birthday. They told you they didn’t want a party, just a nice dinner out. Of course you decided you knew better and huge party was put together that they absolutely hated. They smiled sweetly and through clenched teeth told you that you would pay for this disaster. Tomorrow is your birthday. Will it be what you expected or a case of birthday revenge?

Several of the authors here on GA are writing ongoing stories with prompts for each chapter, and I thought I'd feature Timothy M's response to Prompt #328: You expect me...

“You expect us to believe that?” Eric shook his head at Rob’s glib answer, and Nelson agreed. His boyfriend’s brother was unusually nosy about what he and Eric did in private. Not that they had done much except kissing and a bit of close body contact.

 

“I don’t care if you believe me or not.” Rob began but then his phone rang, and Eric recognized Melanie’s ring tone. Rob dug out his phone and ended the call. He kept the phone in his hand and when it rang again, he pressed ignore once more. He threw the phone on the bed and moments later a text came in. All of them could see it.

 

Melanie: “Please call me.”

 

Rob turned the phone over and cleared his throat. “So, what are your plans for tomorrow, guys?” Another text arrived, but he ignored the phone.

 

“Rob, shouldn’t you at least call her –” Eric began, but his brother jumped up and shouted.

 

“Fuck off, I don’t want to talk to her or about her, do you understand?!”

 

“Hey, watch your mouth! You don’t get to talk to my boyfriend like that.” He knew Rob was hurting, but Nelson wasn’t going to let him take it out on Eric.

 

The big guy deflated, “Sorry, I just don’t want to hear her whine at me. And I’m not going to go all Oprah about this. I simply want to move on. We would probably have broken up anyway when I go to college.”

 

Rob sat back down on the bed and grinned.

 

“I think the best revenge would be to have a few casual flings. Oh, and I have to find someone else to take to the Prom. Hmm, I wonder if Cassie will go with me.”

 

Eric rolled his eyes. Tony’s sister had a boyfriend, who was abroad, but she had always had a soft spot for Rob. Even if they only went to the Prom as friends, they would make a stunning couple. Cassie was even more Italian looking than Tony, with long black hair, dark eyes, a voluptuous figure, and a temper to match every stereotype of hot bambinas. But she was also clever and kind and the most loyal girl Eric knew, apart from Maria. Luckily the two girls got along well, or poor Tony would have been driven mad.

 

After Eric had explained to Nelson about his friends and Cassie, whom Nelson only knew by sight, both of them teased Rob about becoming a target for a whole bunch of admiring high school chicks, including Tina the Gossip Girl, now that he was single.

 

“Or,” Rob made a dramatic pause, “I could take a little walk on the wild side. I’ve heard guys give the best blowjobs. Is that true, Nelson?”
