Before Eric can stop her, Julia is already dialing Katie's number, "Hi, Miss Kay T! I was wondering if some time I would be able to meet with you again. I would absolutely love to meet Eric's dad. Wait, he's there now? I have to meet him. I don't know, maybe we will be over in 15 minutes. Yeah, Eric is here he let his cellphone battery die. Ok, see ya soon. So excited!"

"Oh, filthy shit cakes. This isn't good. Julia call her back and postpone...please this is really bad."

"I will do no such thing, are you embarrassed of me meeting your dad or something?"

"Yes, yes very much as a matter of fact. Mom only has 15 minutes to prepare him and you really have no idea what you are in for." Julia folds her arms and raises her eyebrow. "Look, I love my dad very much. He is a sweet man who doesn't mean to hurt feelings, but just imagine the chubby guy from Babes in Toyland who not only sings inappropriate songs to pretty women but asks to draw them naked."

Julia covers her mouth to hide her laugh, "You are exaggerating. He knows I am your friend and he will see we are close. He is not going to ask to draw me naked once I tell him I am your girlfriend. Give the man some credit."

Eric takes Julia's hands into his, "Julia, Babe, You don't understand how debilitating my father's socialization issues are. You being the sweet, beautiful, patient, woman you are will only embolden his brain to speak even more freely. He may just say something that violates your body, mind, and soul."

"Well, I am calling bullshit on your filthy shit cake anxiety about your dad. How is this for confidence? If your father asks to paint me naked when we first meet I will sleep in our bed at the apartment completely naked for a month!"

"And if he doesn't???"

"You naked boy, won't be allowed to wear any clothes in the apartment unless guests come over!" Eric takes her soft hand and shakes it. "And Eric, no cheating, you can't egg him on or bring up the topic. He has to bring up the topic on his own."

"Believe me, the LAST thing I want is my dad to talk about how lovely he can draw my girlfriend's curves and soft lovely flesh tones, even when I win this bet it will still wound me deeply. I'll let you do all the talking with him."

Eric stands outside Julia's driver's side door and peeks inside, "Sweet ride, I guess I'll follow you over. And Julia...Thanks for being so sweet and nice about all this and making it a fun game. You are really a perfect girlfriend."

Eric leans down through the window and Julia digs her nails deep into the back of his neck and kisses him hard. "You're still not going to charm your way out of this bet, Naked Boy!"

Eric suddenly shocks Julia with his perfect baritone voice, "Slowly, slowly her clothes sank into the sea! Though I tried to help her they sank into the sea. Slowly, slowly they sank into the sea, all her towels and panties, Oh the nuditttttttttttya!"

Julia laughs and reaches for his nipples, "Which one of these turns the volume down and which one turns you off?"
