Hailey
It all started with a simple complaint among friends. A dissatisfaction many women in our situation have no doubt voiced at one time or another. My female friends and I are tired of love and relationship double standards.
One night, while gathered around the evening fire at work, my fellow Winslow Farm elves and I groused about the boyfriends who dumped us and the men who’ve ignored us for far too long.
I can relate on both counts.
A few months ago, I caught my boyfriend with his hands in another woman’s cookie jar. That wasn’t even the heartbreaking part. What broke my spirit was when he accused me of being a cold fish and lousy lover in front of all my friends.
I haven’t had the nerve to dip my toe into the dating waters since. Nor am I interested in dating another self-absorbed egomaniac. I’d love to get all the pent-up energy out of my system and go wild for a change. Be daring and flirty with a devil-may-care attitude. I’m not looking for forever ortheone. I want to be a badass bad girl who gets the hot guy for a change. It’s just, the man I want is too busy to notice me even though he lives in the apartment next door.
After we voiced our complaints that night around the fire and collectively agreed that good girls everywhere are getting the short shaft,literally and figuratively, my friend Maddie hatched a plan.
“What do you say, ladies? It’s time to take our power back and have a little no-strings fun. I’m tired of waiting for men to figure it out,” Maddie schemed, launching into coaching mode. “Men aren’t the only ones with wild oats to sow. We’re the boss of our bodies. We do this for ourselves. Are we naughty elves or pushovers?”
“I’m in.” Noelle’s eyes brightened and sparkled as a wicked smile played across her lips. “No more lackluster sex and dating for me. Let’s go jingle bell naughty all the way.”
“I...I want to be on Santa’s naughty list this year,” Bea stammered, face flushed with nervous energy. “I’m tired of being bossed around. I want to do the bossing for a change.”
“Naughty elves, all the way.” Holly giggled as she nudged me. “But Santa’s not stuffing my stocking with coal if you catch my snowdrift.”
A twinge of excitement ripped through me. My body ached for a hot and sweaty, soul-rocking connection. I’m tired of lackluster quickies that are so fast it feels like we’re playing a lightning round of Password, and my bed partner hasn’t got a clue.
I want a real man. Someone with experience who will listen to my needs, too.
“I’m in.”Naughty Elves Club, here I come.
