It was a cold February that year. However, the events of that one weekend were very hot. It was the weekend of the big ice storm. No one knew it was coming until it was too late. If we had of known, the wonderful events of that weekend wouldn’t have happened, and I wouldn’t have had the best time of my life.
It was a simple plan we had. We would go to a nice cabin in the woods and spend a weekend partying. Far enough away from everyone else that we could do anything we wanted out there. Sleeping in and drinking all night while listening to loud music. The five of us would get back together for the first time since high school. However, we would learn that the best laid plans would not turn out like we planed.
We were three males and two females, a group of friends from a small town high school. We had been apart since I went to college a year ago. Marian and Allan were the oldest. They graduated first but choose to stay in town after high school. John and myself graduated a year after Marian and Allan. John stayed in town but I went off to college. A year later Alex graduated and we decided to get back together.
I arrived back in town that Thursday the 12th. The plan was to meet up with everyone at Allan’s house. From there we took his van to the cabin his uncle lent us for the weekend. Allan was driving with Marian ridding shotgun. They held hands and laughed with each other. Marian brought Allen’s hand to her lips for a flirtatious kiss. He shot her a pleased glance with a sparkle in his eyes that only those in love have. Further back bottles clinked and clanked as John examined our supply of liqueur. Next to me in the back seat Alex sat looking out the window. Her sweet scented, auburn hair was hit by the suns rays just right to make it simmer. Her hair fell over her shoulders and brushed the light skin of her breast. Freckles stood out on her cleavage that was exposed by her low cut shirt. My eyes followed the lines of her body down to the curves that were her belly. The outline from the form-fitting shirt showed the softness of her cute pug. Then following that down and back I saw the cushion of her round ass. Soft enough to squeeze but not too big. My mouth watered at the thought of it on pressed on my lap. My eyes moved to her thighs that were parted just a bit. They called to the perfect path to the treasure in between them. Further down my gaze went until I came to her bare feet. So kind she was to take her shoes off for the trip. Of course, it wasn’t for me that she did it. She wanted to be as comfortable as possible. Still, I enjoyed the display all the same. The soft, pale skin of her feet called out for me lick it. Her long toes danced as she flexed them. I could have died happy if only I had the chance to suck them first. My secret thoughts of lust and desire were then interrupted by the radio.
A weather report came on and said that freezing rain was heading for our area. The north central part of Indiana, which we were in, was under a winter storm advisory. I looked around the van but no one really seemed concerned about the weather. I wasn’t concerned ether. All of our lives we have lived in this part of Indiana and were used to this kind of weather. It seemed to me that the weather forecasters always made a big deal over nothing. More than once I have heard advisories about storms and such with nothing resulting but a few inches of snow. The cabin had a fireplace so if the power did go out there we could use the fireplace to keep warm and cook our food. I was ready to turn my attention back to Alex’s wonderful body but decided not to because Allan was pulling in front of the cabin.
We all hoped out of the van and carried our supplies into the cabin. Once inside, I looked around the main room. This place had a 52-inch TV, DVD player, VCR, surround sound system, CD/cassette/AM/FM stereo, and computer center with Internet access all hooked together. There were two recliners, a couch, and love seat for seating in front of it. Toward the other side of the room I saw a large card table for playing the games of all kinds that were stack on the selves behind it. The room was well lit with over head lighting and many lamps, but there were also oil lamps all around the room in case the power went out. In one corner there was a huge fireplace with lots of wood stored ready for use.
“Well this is it my friends. Our prefect party pad for the weekend. What do you think?” Allan said as he swept his hands in a dramatic gesture.
“It’s so big! Wow I love it about as much as I love you.” Marian replied as she threw her arms around Allen and gave him a big kiss.
“Yea it’s great. I just want to know one thing though. Where do I set up the bar?” John said as he coveted the liqueur.
I said a few words of approval as I noticed Alex jump on the couch and kick off her shoes again. This sight caused a stir in my pants so I decided to sit down in case it proved to turn into something harder that I needed to conceal. While I was away at college I had forgotten how attracted I was to Alex. She was smart, beautiful, funny, caring, sexy, and an all around perfect woman. We had a great friendship so I kept my feelings for her a secret. I never missed a chance to admire her and dream about her though. I was careful so she wouldn’t catch on. Still, there had been times when I was sure she caught me looking at her, but she had never said anything to me about it.
“God Damnit,” John glared hard at Allen with his mouth twisted in an ugly snarl. “Allen you stupid bastard. I told you to take it easy on that dirt road. Now look at this shit. These bottles are busted all to hell.”
“Huh,” Allen ran over to look at the bag John held in his hand. “Shit! My smokes were in that bag. It looks like I am going to have to go to back to that town we passed on the way here.”
“I’ll go too. I saw a liqueur store there and I need to replace this.”
“I am coming also.” Marian said.
“All right, Hale, Alex you two stay here. We should only be gone an hour or so.”
“Not a problem Allen. I am sure me and Hale can find some way to survive that long with out you.”
“Like work on your grammar. It would be ‘Hale and myself’ hon.” I said and gave her a big smile.
“Work on this bastard.” She said as she lobed a pillow at me and laughed.
“Hey, knock that off. What are you guys, two-year-olds. I expect my uncle’s cabin to be in one piece when we get back.”
“Nope, I’m five and a half.” She said and stuck out her tongue.
“Oh, I’m a much more mature seven year old.” I said and rolled my eyes.
Allan just shook his head and sighed as they left. I looked out the window and saw that snow and rain were starting to come down hard. I hoped that they would be ok going to town in this weather. I hadn’t worried about it before but I hadn’t planed on anyone leaving the cabin then ether. I thought it best not to worry about it. I knew that Allan was a good driver and could handle himself in this weather.
“Hale, can I ask you something?”
“Sure Alex. What’s on your mind?”
“Do you think they will be all right driving in this weather?”
I gave a little chuckle to reassure her and said, “I am sure they will be fine. Allan knows how to drive in this stuff. Really it is us that I am worried about.”
“Why is that?”
“Well, were all alone in this house with nothing to do. We may die of boredom before they get back.”
