TRANSCRIPT OF ‘BLONDE TROUBLE’

Here’s another spicy story from 1938 entitled Blonde Trouble by Cliff Caruth.

Somebody had been snipping around his room at the Palmetto baths. Val Norton saw that as soon as he went in. Tall, bronzed from the winter Florida Sun, the words lifeguard lettered in white across the front of his bathing shirt, Val stood surveying the place.

Nothing there to interest any crook. His framed diploma on the wall. His only suit of clothes in the closet. The battered briefs under the bed. Val couldn’t imagine who would take the trouble to sneak into his quarters.

He saw something in the corner and picked it up. It was a crumpled handkerchief. Very tiny. Very feminine and much scented. Val sniffed the Exotic perfume before he narrowed his eyes and tucked it safely away.

Then with a shrug he peeled off the suit he had worn all day on the beach and climbed into the clothes hanging in the closet. It was nearly seven o’clock. The baths were deserted. The beach stretched empty and desolate beyond the dunes.

Val knew at this hour cocktails were in vogue at the fashionable hotels at Point Sable and that orchestras were playing and evening gowns glittering in the soft.

Afterglow.

He smiled thinly as he made his way toward the parking space and the Roadster that had cost him 35 dollars cash a fortnight previous. His dinner would be consumed at The Gravy Boat; that busy cafeteria in town. His music would be the clutter of crockery and the swish of soup going up and down.

As Val reached his drab and dusty car he stopped and curled comfortably up in the front seat, was a blonde girl. She was young, about 18 or so, and she had the face of an angel. Her eyes were a deep topaz, her lips like ripe cherries, her figure; gorgeous…

As Val had reason to know.

She smiled languorously at him; her parted lips revealed a glimmering line of pearl.

Val frowned, annoyed. He knew her. She was Sue Chapel, daughter of the wealthy Chapels who inhabited the big tiled roof villa on the lagoon. For the two weeks of his job at the baths this girl had bothered him. She wouldn’t let him alone. She had pursued him in a fashion strange and mysterious. She had tried in every possible way to arouse his interest in her. Continued failure evidently had not discouraged her in the slightest.

“Beauty nap?” she inquired cooly.

“What’s the idea?” Val asked.

“Nothing much and going to dinner with you.”

“Oh yeah? Try another shot. You’re going to dinner, but not with me baby.

Her reply was to relax comfortably against the tattered leather upholstery and continue to smile dreamily at him. She wore a cute little white silk dress. It was practically backless and Val decided she didn’t have any too much on underneath it. Her rounded bosom made a mockery of a brassier as a covering or shield. Her hips were smoothly curved under the clinging silk and her full cherry lips were sensuous in their carmine smile.

Val had seen her every day in the brief bathing suit she wore for her sunbaths. How she got away unashamed with it was a question. Up north he knew a suit like Sue’s on any respectable beach would immediately lodge its wearer in jail.

“Come on climb out,” he said curtly, “I’m in a hurry.”

I’m not she replied drowsily I’ve got all day and night Val drew his brows together his handsome face darkened he’d had about enough of Sue Chapel sufficient blonde trouble to last a long while with an effort he kept his temper in Chuck what are you trying to do see how much I’ll take he asked roughly why don’t you leave me alone I’ve shown you plainly I’m not interested in you you’re not my type and I’m not yours scram like a good kid in two days she said placidly it’ll be the 26th of the month so what so you’ve got to be interested in me she told him nuts I don’t want to be rude but uh I think you’re a little touched simply got to she repeated slowly I made up my mind to that when I first saw you you’re just the kind of man I like best big strong and oh so masculine and I know you’re not married or engaged or even burned up about another girl see that makes it 100 as far as I’m concerned as usual she was speaking in riddles Val lost his patience opening the roadster’s right door he reached in and hauled her off the seat she struggled but to no avail when he got her help Val secretly thrilled to the soft warmth of her in his arms when he looked down he saw the Deep cleft under the bra and her creamy delicately tanned skin to save his life he couldn’t help but feel a funny tingle surge through him hastily he set her upright on small shapely feet that were supported by a pair of delightfully curved legs unstalking and as brown as the legs of a Beachcomber thou kick the starter and backed swiftly out suit Chapel stood where he had put her her odd eyes focused on him speculatively a stain of pink tinted each smooth cheek I’m not though she called after him as he grinned her and waved a hand you’ll see after his cafeteria meal Val wandered around town the recollection of Sue and his arms stirred him clearly he couldn’t put it away from him how soft she had been how delectably warm what had she meant by mentioning the 26th of the month was she a trifle balmy what the round white moon was up when Val finally drove back to the baths put the car up and walked down the planked Promenade toward the building where he had his room he had taken no more than a few long strides before he came to a quick halt his Gaze on the moonlit Beach there where the frothy comers broke slim familiar figure stood arms outstretched she wore the same scanty suit he had mentally condemned as indecent the glow of the Moon turned her young body to Silver and her hair to platinum Val suppressed an exclamation rigidly he watched while she ran into the swirling surf Dove through a breaking wave and started to swim Valvoline face hardened the damn Little Fool she wasn’t any too hot as a swimmer what was the idea of her trying it out when there was no one around to render first aid if she had gotten into a jam further and further Val’s frown turned to a worried expression where was she headed for Scotland he vaulted the rail lightly and ran down to the surf line hey come back you are too far his Bella must have reached her she saluted him with a high flung arm before she buried her face in the sea again Val didn’t hesitate off went his trousers coat and shirt he knew the treachery of the tie when it was on the turn she might want to commit suicide but he wasn’t going to let her spoil his clean record for him powerful Strokes carried him to her in the wave tossed trough of the ocean he reigned alongside her and grabbed her arm leave me alone she panted you’re coming in now that’s what you think I’m she tried to pull her arm free Belle wasn’t in any mood for an argument he employed the same tactics he used in emergency cases when a swimmer was drowning a clout on the chin took all the fight from her

Val caught her as she let go he got an arm around her slender waist and headed back to the shore she had undressed in the space between the locker rooms and the dryer her clothes were in a little pile there Slinky Brazier impudently on top Val gave her a final shake and pushed her against the brick wall I’m going to complain to the authorities about you you’re that worst pain in the neck I’ve ever known you’re a menace get dressed and get out of here a seductive smile slow and Amorous curved her petal red lips she ran a hand down over the sweeping line of her plain flat torso and swelling hips Val breathed harder the scanty one-piece suit had become disarranged from his long haul back through the pounding surf the narrow straps holding a bracelet fashion about her neck had slipped her breasts were more revealed than concealed gelatinous Mounds with a sensuously provocative movement when she stirred the water had made the rest of what little material there was clinging tightly to her in the molten flood of the sailing Moon she appeared nearly unclawed and Bell’s pulses beat faster as he realized that well you had to come out and get me anyway she said cheerfully you has like me some you wouldn’t let me drown I was thinking of my job Val said crisply it’s my business to keep people from drowning I’m a lifesaver in case you’ve forgotten and the flavor doesn’t matter she wisecracked you’re sweet and heavy is so cute in your shorts for the first time thou remembered his own abbreviated costume with a smothered exclamation He wheeled and beat it down to where he had left his other clothing when he returned Sue was struggling into the white silk dress it was halfway over her yellow head and Val had an unobstructed view of her flimsy step-ins the round garters holding her stockings Aloft and the silky bras that in no way protected the Charming devil burden filling her cups to overflowing help me can’t you she said in a muffled tone Valley yanked the dress into place and handed her her white handbag good night and out hide Ball Hill that had two she observed for God her voice sank a weedly note creeping into it why can’t you act regular like any other man yeah I know any other man would have had you in his arms days ago but I’m not any other man I’m me and you’re a headache what don’t you like about me she inquired everything I think you’re crazy you’re rich and I’m a poor lug trying to get by you want an amusement somebody to romance with well you’ve picked the wrong party baby I’m a serious somebody and I don’t waste time fooling around with James who want a good time and then when they get it drop me like a hot cake oh she cried Softly so you want matrimony the Fireside slippers and stuff you expect Beat It thou requested curtly I’ve got to lock up for the night he turned on his heel and left her without further comment val did his routine Duty after he checked on the various doors to make certain they were locked he went back and found Sue had gone only a damp puddle was a souvenir of where she had stood Val sat down and smoked a thoughtful cigarette a dreamy sense of tropical Langer possessed him against his better judgment and logic he felt intrigued perhaps he was an idiot for passing up Sue Chapel he could not seem to figure things out he was confused and upset it was close to midnight when Val sought his room in darkness he opened the door went in and shut and locked it after him he took a forward step across the matting and stopped as quickly as if he’d been shot curled up in his bed the sheets drawn to her chin her blonde hair awry on the pillow suit Chapel Ray clown she made no pretense of sleeping her long lashed eyes looked at him silently as thou switched on the tiny light beside the bed now I’m mad he said through set teeth this is the last straw grimly he turned to the wash stand across the room there was bowling pitcher there the latter vessel was filled with half a gallon of cold water fell reached for it watching him Sue suddenly flung the sheet aside and sat bolt upright in lieu of a nightie she wore the brassiere and panties she registered alarm when he walked back carrying the picture hey

thou aimed and fired the half gallon shot accurately from the pitcher’s wide-lipped mouth and doused Sue she gave vent to a startled strangled cry and sputtered looking down like a drowned Mouse oh rubbing her eyes indignantly she did the exact opposite of what Val intended for her Sue sat down on the wet bed pushing her damp yellow hair aside from her moist face just for that she graded I’ll never go oh yes you will and now he caught her in his arms his strength was too much for her puny efforts to resist Val picked her up it was a new experience for him and not one without emotional effects for a minute she fought desperately the Brazier went to skew her wet hair hung limply Belle tried to force her to the door she wound her legs around his to prevent it and her arms tightened around his neck how the hell the pleading in her low cry made him stand still he looked at her breathing hard her quivering lips were only inches from his own her breath fanned his hot face in the Twin Hills of her breasts jammed themselves hard against his chest what what is it suddenly she began to cry two trembling tears large as Jewels appeared on the long lashes hesitated and then rolled down her satiny cheeks that was too much for Val he could stand abuse being bothered and annoyed and wisecracks but tears were his undoing Sue oh how about here you’re so mean hey I love you so much something happened to Val within he felt a snap then a pounding rush of blood in his veins and a glamorous excitement that filled him with a strange Savage tenderness hardly aware of what he did he brought his mouth close to hers their lips met and clung and Val dizzy and weak heard what he was telling her I I guess I’ve loved you ever since you first first started to bother me but but what’s the use darling you’re

her red lips parted and her bosom Rose and fell making the brassiere slip further her eyes too changed the pupils dilated and the eyes glowed with a soft wonderful light

I know who you you are she whispered I sneaked in here this afternoon I saw your last school diploma on the wall and then some letters in your Bureau I know you’re only saving lives here during vacation until Val fondled her fervently what else do you know that that you’ve got to marry me before the 26th of the month don’t I’ll lose a trust fund I’m to inherit I’ve been chasing you trying to get this minute to happen and well it’s happening he said happily drawing her closer and closer still to his throbbing heart.
