Mike had always been a shy sort of guy, not saying much to anyone, drifting through school, having very few dilemmas to make his life any interesting. He always felt his looks were average, tall, thin, short brown hair and glasses, he never really saw his body as anything women would lust after. He wasn't out of shape, he just, wasn't chiseled, that's all.
His buddies were all of a varied sort. Most were book worms, too busy with school to have any sort of life at all, connected to their computers at the hip, reveling in their ability to crack into business's and scan their files and information, thinking they were all the sneakiest and better than everyone else in the real world. Mike struggled between his desire for success and a social life, he hadn't really been to any parties. So this was his first.
His few friends who's parents could afford to pay for them to piss away their education while partying and getting wasted. Mike never saw much use in this, except for the girls. He had been sitting around, it was Friday, he had no plans. His buddies had called him up and screamed something across the receiver about the party of the century, beer, girls, everything, and they were determined that he not miss out.
When Mike arrived at the party he just stood around, a beer had been slapped into his hands and the music shook his head. Through the smoke and dancing, the pushing and shouting he could see girls. Many of them. All with boyfriends. He sighed. He didn't even know why he had come to the party anyway, he wasn't much of a drinker, and that seemed to be the main goal of most of the kids there. He stumbled through the party house, through the kitchen with all the beer kegs, past the bathroom with people already face down in the bowl and past closed doors with sounds coming from them that were easily recognized. Mike snorted. He wasn't having any fun, but he didn't have a car and no way to get home unless his buddies decided to ditch, and he knew there was no chance of that happening.
He walked along the hall and saw some pictures of the family that owned the house, all dressed up in their Sunday clothes in an outdoor setting. All perfect and happy. Their smiles frozen in time. It was all a lie. He recognized the face of the guy in the photo as Dennis. Dennis was a real jerk, he had all the girls, all the money, and parents who would let him do anything and protect his ass against anything. His dad was some kind of corporate lawyer who pulled in the big money. Mike looked at Dennis' Mom, she wasn't too bad looking, she looked to be in her early forties. Mike also noticed Dennis' sister, she was older than Dennis, she had been in university for a year and was off getting some great education at a wonderful school for rich girls and boys. She was hot though, slim, long straight brown hair and a reasonably athletic body. Mike took a sip of his beer and grimaced, it tasted like crap, he set his beer on a nearby table and wandered farther down the hall. He saw a door at the end with a sign on it saying in bold letters, DO NOT ENTER.
"Screw that" Mike muttered.
He opened the door and walked down the carpeted staircase to the mother of all basements. Leather couches, chairs, a pool table, dart board, a huge bar. And what Mike noticed most of all, a big screen tv that had to be at least 64 inches long. Mike hopped the couch and sat down, he grabbed the nearest remote and started pushing buttons. The tv turned on and started blaring some inane show. Mike stopped for a second when he thought he heard footsteps, he muted the tv and turned around to see Dennis' sister. She smirked and looked at Mike disapprovingly.
"Dennis and all his "little" friends are supposed to stay upstairs, that's where the...beer is"
Mike felt his ears heating up and his cheeks becoming warm.
"Well, uh" He swallowed hard. He didn't know why he was so nervous, she was just a girl and he was just watching the tv, he hadn't been doing anything wrong. If he had to go, he'd go, and that'd be the end of it.
She looked at Mike, her glare softening. Her eyes were red and her clothes were plain. She had obviously been crying.
"Why aren't you up at the party?"
Mike grinned sheepishly, he didn't know what to say. That he didn't like to drink, that he didn't like to party, that he didn't want to be upstairs with pretty girls.
"I...uh, just wasn't having a....fun time" More sheepish grins.
"Fun" She snorted. "That's all guys want, including my bastard of an ex boyfriend" Tears started to well up in her eyes again. She stumbled over to the couch and sat down, rubbing her eyes dry.
"Uh....what happened?" Mike hoped that didn't make him sound like an idiot.
She looked up at him and smiled, as if pained by the thought yet remembering good times. She wiped her eyes and sat straight up.
"I returned to my apartment and find my boyfriend bent over my best friend, screwing her as hard as he could, I could hear them in the hallways" She sobbed and laughed at the same time.
"I'm sorry to hear that...you must be pretty pissed off"
"Yeah no shit" She looked down at her hands. "I'm sorry for swearing at you, I'm just a little stressed right now"
"It's alright" Mike nodded. He noticed how her hair hung softly across her face, and despite her red eyes and tears, she was really quite pretty.
"I can't believe he was fucking around on me, especially with my best friend, she is such a bitch"
"Yeah....it has to hurt....." There was a dead silence for a moment, nothing was said. The dull throb of music could be heard above them, stomping from the party echoed through the floor, muffled by the concrete.
She looked up at him and smiled. Brushing her hair out of her face.
"What is your name?"
"Mike" He swallowed hard. "you?"
"Karen" She smiled now. "How old are you? You can't be more than 18"
"Yeah, I'm 18" He shrugged.
Karen slid closer to him on the couch, she rubbed her leg against his and smiled seductively, she ran a finger down Mike's chest. Mike nearly melted right there into the couch, he shivered at her touch and couldn't help but notice how good she smelled as she moved closer. She leaned forward and kissed him softly on the lips, her lips tasted like strawberries and were amazingly soft. She pulled back for a second and looked at Mike's stunned face.
"What's wrong? Don't you like being kissed?"
"No, nothing was wrong with the...kiss" Mike smiled. "What about your b-"
She cut him off with her finger pressed against his lips. She shushed him and gave him another kiss, longer this time, licking his lips and tugging at his bottom lip with her teeth. Mike looked into her eyes and shivered again.
"If he can fuck around....so can I" She smiled and moved closer to Mike, she hopped onto his lap and put her arm around his neck, tickling the back of his neck with her fingers. "You don't mind do you?"
Before Mike could reply she smothered his mouth with another kiss, sucking on his tongue. Her hand slid down his chest and up his shirt, dragging a nail across his nipple. Mike responded clumsily by sliding his hands up her jean covered thighs, squeezing them gently, enjoying the touch. Karen nipped at his bottom lip, biting it, digging her teeth into his lip. Mike winced and hissed in pain, tasting the coppery tinge of blood. Karen licked his lips and smiled.
"Sorry" She smiled sneakily.
