*Knock knock*
"Hey you, almost ready to go? If we leave soon, we'll be fashionably early!" I say as I peak my head in the bedroom door, where you've been getting changed for the past few minutes.
"Almost! Can you come zip me up?" you respond.
I open the door wider and catch sight of the dress you've decided to don tonight. My jaw hits the floor. It hugs your body in all the right places, but still leaves a little to the imagination. Specifically my imagination, which is doing front and backflips right now.
"Wow, you've gone all out for this. You're going to make everyone else there jealous, you know that?" I walk over to where you're standing in front of the full-length propped-up mirror in the corner of our bedroom, wrapping my arms around you when I get there.
You rub my arms while they're wrapped around your waist and stomach and lean your head back into my shoulder. "You can't zipper me up like this, you know. But I suddenly don't want you to anymore" you say as we stand there, staring at our collective reflection in the mirror.
"Good point" I say as I kiss your neck and move my hands up to your hips as I break the hold we were in. I run my hands up the back of your dress to the end of the zipper that you can't reach because it's in the middle of your back and, with one hand, hold your hair out of the way and with the other, slowly work the zipper up to the top. "Is that the last thing? We probably should get going" I say reluctantly as my imagination just keeps on going in my head.
"I think I'm all ready, but let me check again. I need my little bag, too, for my phone, if you find that lying around anywhere" you say as you start looking around for both your phone and your bag. Every time you cross in front of the mirror, I notice you check yourself out with a little smile. You know you're looking sexy tonight and, soon, everyone else will know, too.
You've located your phone and handbag, I've got my keys and wallet in my pocket and we're all ready to leave. We leave the door arm-in-arm, I grab the passenger's side door and hold it open for you. I offer my hand to you as you climb in and you take it while you sit yourself down on the seat and slide your legs over into the seat proper. While you were sliding your legs over, I got a magnificent view of your long and slender legs and almost was able to see your panties, but the angle wasn't right. Just that, though, leaves my mind racing again. I bite my lip as I close the door on you and walk around to the driver's side door. I climb in, start the car, give it a little time to warm up while you put in the address of the party and I pick out what kind of music we'll be driving to tonight.
As soon as I back out of the driveway, put the car in drive, and start us down the road, I feel your hand on my thigh, slowly running your nails up and down my leg. I reach over and do the same on your thigh, over your dress. Your hand moves up my side and to the back of my neck, your favorite place to keep your hand and my favorite place for your hand while I drive. The drive to the party isn't too long, but our hands don't leave those spots the entire drive.
We arrive at the country club that your workplace decided to have their Holiday party this year and find a decent place to park.
"Pretty big place, I'm surprised! What with all the stories you've been telling me about the budget shortages you guys have been experiencing..." I say to you as we walk up to the entrance.
"Don't even get me started" you growl to me under your breath.
In the entrance hall, there is a table with two women behind it, greeting everyone and having them sign a "Holiday Party 2021" sheet that will be framed and placed somewhere in your office after this is all over. You sign us both in, me as your +1, after you greet the women with a warm smile and an even warmer greeting.
There are assigned seats at this function, but you and I both know that's going to go out of the window almost immediately. Despite that, we find our seats and relieve ourselves of our coats. You've been actively scanning the place with your eyes, looking for people and groups that you know and want to introduce me to.
You've spotted a group of work friends that you want to start things off with, so you lead me over to them, introducing me as "my favorite person in the world". I glance over at you and your smile is as wide as I've ever seen it when you look back at me and shrug. We exchange pleasantries, you giving out hugs and me giving out handshakes, when you notice about half of them have drinks in their hands.
"Where'd you get those? I could use one myself" you ask one of them, curiously.
"Right over there, kind of behind the DJ, but off to the left" one of them says as they point out the general area. It's a pretty busy place, there is clearly a line of people that had this idea before you did.
