Autumn is absolutely stunning to me, with all the colors changing. I love that the air is crisp, but it isn't heavy coat weather yet. I live in a larger city filled with theaters, restaurants, clubs, boutiques, and every specialty shop or new trend you can think up. Despite the fact that I have all this at my fingertips, I am ashamed to say that I don't take advantage of it. At 24 years old, a time of my life I should be out enjoying myself fully, I am painfully shy. I'm not one to venture out on my own and explore and since I have no boyfriend, friends, or family around I have no one to go out with. I moved here 4 months ago and have been too busy with finding a place to live and getting a job to really put much effort into friend making, let alone making a love connection. I had lived at home before this, staying there while taking some online college classes. It never really went anywhere, I couldn't figure out what I really wanted to do for the rest of my life. I know at this age I should have it figured out at least to some degree, but I don't. I was sick of hearing my mom's nagging about goals and marriage and babies. So I went online and started looking up job openings anywhere I could think of and applying to any that I had at least most of the qualifications for. That's how I ended up getting a job at a department store halfway across the country.
I was pretty happy here so far, but I stuck to my routine. Exercise in the morning, then off to work, afterwards running any errands like shopping or paying bills, then home for a quiet evening in. The weekends I tried to make myself get out more, but usually I just made it to the mall or park near my house and wandered around. It was a few days before Halloween when another cashier asked if I was going to make it to the company party this year. From the blank expression on my face she figured out I was clueless to what she was talking about. Soon I was caught up on the details and every other little gossip around work, she was definitely a talker! The company held a costume party each year on Halloween night right in the store after closing time. It was adults only and they had an open bar all night. Honestly who needs candy when gin and rum were offered instead. There was one major rule though, you were required to dress up if you came, and your costume had to have some sort of mask. It was a masquerade party and as I was informed by Miss Chatty next to me, it was half the fun trying to figure out who was who. That is a lot harder than it sounds, this is a big two story department store and employed a large amount of people. I smiled at her and nodded, when I had the chance I slipped away. I've never been one for a lot of talk and can't understand why some people share every detail of their lives. I pushed the idea of the party aside, deciding I'd be more comfortable at home watching scary movies and passing out candy.
In no time it was closing time on the 31st. I headed home enjoying all the decorations put up in the area I lived. Some people had really gone all out. Soon I was home, in my comfiest pajamas and deciding what I wanted to pop into the microwave for dinner. For some reason though I started to feel a bit depressed. It was my first holiday by myself and the apartment seemed extra quiet this evening. I started to eat but just picked at my food. I figured maybe the trick or treaters coming for candy would perk me up. I love kids and enjoy seeing all the imaginative costumes each year. After more than an hour and only two kids coming by, I figured out I wasn't in the main trick or treating route for most families. This didn't help my spirits in the least. I sat on the couch and made a deal with myself. I'd wait fifteen more minutes, if no one came in that time for some of my full sized Snickers and Milky Way bars, then I would make myself go to this work party.
Fifteen minutes later, I was looking through my closet for something that would work as a costume. The best I could come up with was a make shift genie costume. I had a gauzy skirt and a tank top that showed off a good amount of my belly, I added some jewelry and sandals and threw my hair up in a pony tail. It wasn't the best looking costume, but I decided it wasn't too bad. It was definitely the best I could do last minute. To fill the criteria of some sort of mask, I wrapped a silk scarf around my face so only my eyes were really visible. One last look in the mirror and I deemed myself sufficiently dressed as a genie. It was a little more revealing than I normally wear, not because I'm in any way ugly or overweight, but because I feel self conscious showing so much skin. Ten minutes later I was walking into the dimly lit store.
The low lights set an eerie mood combined with the decor placed about. In contrast to this ambiance, the place was scattered with people dressed from Zorro to hockey players. The noise level was the thing most out of place, it was way too loud for the graveyard setting they were trying for. I thought about turning right back around and going home. Instead I gathered my resolve and marched directly into the throng of party goers. I slowly made a loop about. A few people tried to get me to dance, but I'm not very coordinated and declined. Just when I thought I had made the biggest mistake coming, I saw my saving grace. Free alcohol to the rescue. I stood by the make shift bar sipping my third cocktail and scanning the room for anyone I might know, problem was the masks. Sure they might be a fun idea, but since I couldn't tell who I knew and didn't, I just stood there slightly awkwardly. I drank more, just for something to do at this point. Before I knew it, I had finished yet another glass. I set it down and noticed a small collection of cups by me. Had I really drank all that? I really couldn't remember how much I'd consumed. I'm not normally a heavy drinker, so my body was not used to the amount of alcohol I had apparently downed.
My body was feeling really warm by now and I couldn't understand why I had been so reluctant to come out tonight. In fact, the longer I contemplated it, the less worried I was about talking to people I didn't know or being in a situation that isn't necessarily in my comfort zone. I started to mingle around, mostly smiling at people, which is a stupid thing to do with your lower face covered. This didn't occur to me at this point, so i continued on. As I walked by a cowboy with a bandanna hiding his identity, he asked me to dance. At that moment I couldn't think of any reason why I wouldn't want to. As we swayed to the music I started to dance using a little more hip movement than was necessary for the song, my arms seemed to have a life of their own. Soon I had no clue where my cowboy had gotten to, but honestly didn't care. I felt like I could do anything, at that moment I felt like the sexiest woman in the room. I was tired of being a wall flower, tired of not having a man in my life, tired of being scared of putting myself out there. Part of my mind knew it was the effect of the drinks, but I was in a state of total inhibition. The possibilities of what I could do seemed endless.
I saw a man standing by himself close by and made my way over to stand right in front of him. I pressed my body up against his and started to sway to the music again. My mystery man wrapped his arm around my waist and moved his body with mine. By this time of the party I was not the only who had drunk more than my share. The noise level had escalated to a new high as people let loose. I didn't have a great perception of time anymore, but it felt like no time before our dancing had turned into an excuse to rub our bodies together. My arms were draped over his shoulders and I clasped my hands together, locking myself to this stranger. We were both feeling the effects of our body movements, I knew he was since I had a hard erection pressing into my belly. Soon our masks were moved and our lips were locked as we gyrated our hips. I was light headed and my legs were shaky. Most prominently on my mind was my pussy, which was getting wetter by the second.
I ground myself against the bulge in his pants, letting out small whimpers as I did so. This was all he could take, as was evidence in the fact that his body shuddered and then relaxed. I looked down, yes he had cum right in his pants. I was conflicted with emotion, pleased I had had such an effect on this masked man, but beyond frustrated and needing release myself. I walked away, he didn't seem to care what I did now that he had gotten his. I searched the room with my eyes as I sauntered around. Bingo, I saw what I was looking for. Near a changing room,sitting in one of the padded chairs by the wall was tall thin man with sandy blonde hair. He had a large drink in his hand and his mannerisms suggested he had already had a few more. He wasn't alone, another man was sitting nearby and they were in the middle of a conversation. I was drunk, horny, and beyond the point of caring about the consequences of my actions. I walked over in somewhat of a straight line, determined in my half baked plan. I sank down to my knees directly in front of my target, leaned in and started gently nibbling, sucking, and kissing this man's cock through his pants. There was a shocked silence between the two men, but no resistance to what I was doing.
