I laughed the entire time I wrote the naughty video chat scene between Maceo and Jo when he was on his mission in Colombia. The sex scene itself wasn’t funny, but his brothers catching him in the act was gold.
So what inspired this scene? My husband’s closest friends. For privacy reasons, I’ve changed their names and refer to them as Ryan, Deven, and Tray. They were very excited to make it into a book LOL.
Let me start by saying no one walked in on someone getting dirty, it was more of a misunderstanding. So these three friends lived together when we were all in college. Their place was kind of party central; come one, come all. It wasn’t unusual to find one of them passed out in their boxers in the front yard and have to be hosed down before allowed back into the house, or to have all the furniture in the house moved around in belligerent moments inspired by alcohol that seemed like awesome ideas while inebriated. In other words, it was a fun place to hang out.
Well, after one wild night of partying, Ryan had to get up early to get ready for work. He went into the bathroom, got ready, then approached his other two roommates who were hungover in the living room, still trying to wake up.
This is a summary of the conversation.
Ryan: You two are gross.
Deven and Tray: Huh?
Ryan: You seriously had to do that in the bathroom?
Deven and Tray look at each other in confusion.
Deven to Tray: Do you know what he is talking about?
Tray shrugs shoulders, shaking his head.
Ryan: Don’t play stupid! You know what you did.
Deven raises his hands in surrender: Dude, what are you carrying on about?
Ryan points between the other two: It was one of you. I don’t care which one of you sick fucks did it, but you need to clean it up.
Deven: Ryan, just spit it out. What the hell are you accusing us of?
Ryan loses his cool: I’m talking about the disgusting shower babies you guys left behind in the tub.
Deven and Tray: WHAT?
Ryan: Yeah, one of you jacked off in the tub and didn’t bother to clean it up.
Deven shakes his head and heads into the bathroom to investigate the tub. A few seconds later, they hear him busting his gut.
Ryan: Why are you laughing about this? It is foul.
Tray: Did someone really not clean up jizz?
Deven returns, still laughing: Ryan, that isn’t cum. That’s leftover bar soap shavings.
So there you have it, the entire scene with Gauge’s shower babies comment was inspired by some leftover Dove bar soap and the misunderstanding of my husband’s guy friends. Note to readers: wash all soap residue down the drain to avoid people thinking you’re a dirty bastard.
