It was a rainy Saturday in mid January. I had worked the night before and I was dead tired. I would have loved nothing more than staying under these covers and napping the day away. I slowly climbed out of bed and stumbled to the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, I saw the worn face of a 25 year old who had spent too much of the last three months working and partying. Today would be no different. It was Jimmy's birthday and while the rain cancelled the daytime bar crawl that was planned, new plans dictated around 16 of us would watch college basketball at Jimmy's apartment.
I wasn't thrilled about the venue change. After all, I had fucked Jimmy's roommate Kevin two months ago and was dreading any ribbing I was going to receive from Jimmy about it. He teased me about fucking two of his friends all the time when we were at work - playfully calling me a slut and telling me if I bagged one more I'd be considered a three star general. I didn't mind his joking - boys would be boys.
I took a quick shower, put on a healthy amount of makeup, and threw on a Florida Gators tank top and a pair of black leggings. Jimmy was a huge Gators fan so I felt the outfit was appropriate for the activities.
Jimmy's apartment wasn't far from mine and when I arrived most of the attendees were already there.
"Where's Kat?" I asked.
"Her grandmother died. Kevin drove her home last night," Jimmy replied. Kevin and Kat had grown up together and he was the one who introduced Kat and Jimmy, who had been dating for two rocky years at this point.
While I felt bad about Kat's misfortune, I was relieved that Kevin wasn't there. As I looked around the room I also noticed Shane, another friend of Jimmy's, wasn't there either. I mixed myself a Red Bull vodka and sat at an open spot next to Jimmy on the couch.
"Nice outfit" Jimmy whispered, looking at my Gators tank although I'm sure he was also sneaking a peak at my cleavage.
I thanked him a sincere thank you and pulled up the tank top, realizing it showed quite a bit of my cleavage.
The party was loud but generally boring. I debated seeing what my friend Courtney was doing but it was Saturday - there was no doubt she was working. I missed her and all the fun we had gotten into in the short amount of time we had been friends.
The day wore on and I finished my fourth Red Bull vodka. I briefly mingled with the six people still lounging around Jimmy's apartment. With all that booze in me I had to use the restroom.
