Family parties. Not really my thing, and I would certainly never usually come back into town specifically for them. This was an annual event organised by my father. A kind man, but he does not have any idea on how to throw a worthwhile get-together. Bad food, terrible music, and even worse company. But this time was different. This time, I had my eye on someone.
Stephanie, by brother's ex-fiancΓ©e.
They had broken up a few months prior, but they had chosen to stay friends. She had also developed a close relationship with my sisters, and thus she continued to be invited to these such events. Stephanie and I had always had an unspoken connection, an undeniable spark. Many even joked that we would one day run away together. It is true that acting on that energy could tear a hole in this family, but maybe that was a part of the appeal.
We had not seen each other since her and my brother called it quits, but the moment our eyes met in my childhood living room, it was evident that we had both been in our respective thoughts long before this night, and now we are free to do all we had wanted to do to each other. All it took was a bite of her bottom lip and a quick but deliberate graze of my arm to let me know she was ready to give in, so I make my way upstairs, readied my room for what I have planned, and head back to the festivities.
I waste no time in getting Stephanie's attention once again. Pulling her away from a conversation with my sister, I softly whisper in her ear to be a good girl and follow the instructions left for her in my bedroom. With a sly smile, she duly accepts, and follows the path from which I had just returned. Awaiting her is a blindfold, ball gag, and a note ordering her to remove her clothes, put on the items provided, and to wait patiently on her hands and knees atop of my bed.
