The holiday party was a mess. It was raining and slushing outside so half the guests naturally did not show. Jenny Lu showed up with her geeky sister Sue, who seemed to run interference for her sister most of the night. The evening dragged on but Jenny was paying all her attention to Tom; my soon to be ex-best friend.
This led to me drinking a bit too much. I collapsed on the couch and fell asleep before the gifts had even been opened. Around two I opened my eyes and the apartment was empty, the only lights were on the tree and the holiday window lights. I opened my eyes again and the red LED light said it was four in the morning or it could have been evening, I did not know and did not care. I noticed that the room had been cleaned; the wrapping paper I almost tripped on earlier going to the bathroom to finally puke had been removed. I don't remember doing that though?
I fell asleep again around nine I opened my eyes and was blind. A hand went over my mouth, a woman's hand, it gave the sleep mask a slight tug. A hand stroked my forehead and a soft voice told me to rest. All the weeks of getting ready for the party fell in on me and I fell asleep yet again knowing Jenny had not deserted me for Tom.
Around noon I could hear the rain pelt the air-conditioner, not that that mattered as I felt someone's warm body on top of me, under the blanket waking me up in the best way possible. I could feel her warm mouth around me and could not believe it. This was going to be a great year. I reached down to stroke Jenny's hair and it was much longer than I remembered it to be. Then it struck me, it was not Jenny, it was Sue.
Like that scene in the Rocky Horror Picture Show I tossed back the blankets and screamed; just like Brad did; "Sue!" She laughed and got up. I was stunned speechless. She usually had on a geeky tee shirt and jeans. Now she was there with makeup, wearing the chain I had given her last year with the elf charm, a black cupless bra, stockings, garter belt and lacy black panties. She was a bit chubby but all the curves were in more than the right places as opposed to her sister who was skinnier with long legs and arms. Her nipples were pierced with small silver rings. I could not stop staring at her.
"Hello? Mark?" she laughed waving her hand past my eyes as if waving at a camera, "I guess that trip to the Secret's shop was worth it."
