A few weeks ago I received an invitation in the mail. It was for a house warming party for my friends Kelly and Jim. They had recently purchased a new house in the area and after getting settled decided to have a small party to show off their new home. As soon as I had received the invitation I sent an RSVP letting them know that I would be attending.
About a week before the party, I received a call from Kelly. She was finalizing her head count for the party and asked if I would be bringing a date or if I would be attending alone. Unfortunately I had not even thought about bringing a date so I told her that I would be attending alone. When I told her that, she made a point to inform me that her younger sister, Tara, would be there. Kelly and I are the same age, and despite a 4 year age difference, she had been trying to set me up with her sister since we met a few years back.
Even though Kelly and Tara are sisters, you wouldn't really know it looking at the two of them. Kelly is 27, stands about 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs about 110 pounds. She has green eyes, and shoulder length light brown hair. Her sister stands about 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs about 115 pounds, has blue eyes and blonde hair that hangs half way down her back. The biggest difference in the two is in the size of their breasts. Kelly is close to a 34b, while her sister is easily a 34d. Tara is actually drop dead gorgeous, but for some reason we have never dated or even discussed going out.
The day of the party I received a phone call from Jim in the morning. He asked if I would mind giving him a hand getting a few things setup at the house in the backyard. Late in the morning I headed on over to their house and helped setup horseshoes, as well as a volleyball net. While we were outside getting that setup, Kelly was inside with her mother getting food ready for the party. I found out from Jim that it wasn't a huge party; only about 20-30 people, but for some reason Kelly had enough food to feed an army. I told him I would be happy to do my part in helping eat the food, but if I was going to eat a lot I needed to go get a workout in before coming back for the festivities.
After leaving their house, I went straight to the gym and worked out for a little over an hour. I tried to get in at least 4 workouts per week, especially since I liked to eat. Over the years I had done a fairly good job of staying in shape, mainly by lifting weights and swimming. For my 6 foot 1 inch body, I carried my 190 pounds fairly well, at least in my opinion. After leaving the gym I headed home to take a shower, but decided to shave my head first. It had been a month, so I thought it was about time. Besides, I have found over the years that women like my head shaved so why not head to the party with a bald head. Other than Tara, I didn't know if there would be any other single women there.
After showering I still had to decide what to wear. I thought since it was a party in August and it was about 90 degrees outside, I would go with light and casual clothes. I pulled out a pair of khaki shorts, a light button down shirt and a pair of sandals.
When I arrived at the party, I was surprisingly one of the last ones to get there. The party was set to start at 6pm, and I had arrived at about 6:30, which is why I was so surprised that just about everyone was already there. When I walked out to the backyard, the first person that I ran into was Kelly. We greeted each other with a hug, and she offered a tour of the house since I hadn't actually seen it yet. Since she appeared to be in a conversation with another of her friends I declined and told her that I would track her down later to take her up on the offer.
After leaving Kelly, I went into the kitchen to check out all the food and grab something to eat. There was a great selection, and Jim was right there was a lot of food for the amount of people that had come. Surprisingly while I was in the kitchen, I really didn't see anyone that I knew. More surprisingly, I hadn't seen either Tara or Jim yet. After gathering my food, I headed out to the picnic table that was setup on the side of the house so I could sit down and eat. While out there I started talking to a couple of friends of mine that I hadn't seen in a while.
After eating and catching up with friends for a while, I took a quick tour around the outside of the house, and then headed back inside to get a drink. At that point I finally saw both Tara and Jim for the first time. They came walking in from the living room area with another couple that I didn't know. Tara was looking fabulous as usual. She was wearing a tight t-shirt and a pair of tight, and short, jeans shorts. The one thing I did notice is that her hair was not made up like it usually is. In all actuality, it was fairly messy which was a surprise to me since she is typically very conscious about her appearance.
Jim and Tara both stopped to chat a little with me, but the other couple continued past and out the back door. We all exchanged pleasantries and spent a few minutes talking about how the party was going. Tara had suggested playing a little volleyball, and Jim was rather quick to agree with her. I declined since I had just finished eating. I told them both to go ahead without me and that I was going to hunt down Kelly and take her up on the house tour offer.
Jim and Tara went out into the backyard and announced that they were heading to the volleyball net and asked for others to join in getting a game going. Knowing that Kelly wouldn't be very interested in volleyball, I walked out to find her so I could ask about the house tour. Before I could actually find her, Kelly came up behind me and jumped onto my back.
"Who are you looking for? Have you seen my sister," she asked?
