I so needed this trip. I had been looking forward to it for weeks. I was so lucky to work for a small company that loved it's employees. I was even more fortunate to work at a place where I not only got along with all of my coworkers, but actually enjoyed their company. A very good thing since I was going to be in a beach house with them for the next week.
We were all allowed to bring a guest, and mine backed out at the last minute. While I was looking forward to spending time with my best friend, I also knew I was going to have a great time on my own, and now I got the whole bed to myself.
I was the last to arrive, and the living room erupted with my name as I walked in. I couldn't help but smile at seeing all of my coworkers in different stages of drunken disorder, and downed the shot that was shoved in my face as I made my way in.
I saw the familiar faces of everyone's significant other, and greeted everyone as I made my way to the stairs that led to the bedrooms. I may have over packed a little, and before I took the first step I felt my suitcase lighten significantly. I turned my head, and there was John. "Oh, thank you!" I said as he took the lead up the steps.
"Where's Stacy? I thought you said she was coming with you?" John asked, turning down the hall and opening the door to my room and putting the suitcase on the bed.
"She couldn't make it. One of the girls got sick, and she felt bad leaving Chase with a sick kid." I unloaded the rest of my crap onto the bed, letting out a sigh and looking back at John. "Anything interesting happen yet?"
John chuckled, "Nah, but it is still way early. We were all waiting for you so we could head out to the beach together." He turned and headed towards the door, grabbing the door knob to close it on his way out. "Need help changing?" He smiled, and I smirked at him before turning my back to him as I started to unzip my suitcase. John and I had a very flirty relationship; it had been that way for years. It was friendly, relentless, and often was the highlight of my day.
"Get outta here," I chuckled, hearing the door close as I found my bikini in my suitcase. I was looking forward to showing off my new figure during this trip. I had always been a bit frumpy, but after my breakup with my last boyfriend of two years about six months earlier, I finally got down to business and worked my way to the figure I wanted. Not skin and bones, but thick and curvy. I had even gotten a pretty good tan over the last couple of months, and I felt like a goddess when I looked at myself in the mirror after changing into my bikini. It was a simple black; nothing flashy, and the bottom tied at my hips.
I pulled my wavy hair up into a messy ponytail and pulled my sarong out. I started to pull it up under my armpits to tie in front of my breasts and stopped. Instead, I moved it down to my hips and tied it there, smiling to myself. I grabbed my beach bag that was already packed and ready to go, and headed downstairs. Sandy was bent over a cooler at the foot of the steps, and I slapped her ass as I trotted to the sliding glass door, laughing at the adorable little yelp she let out. "What the hell are you guys waiting for?" I said to my friends, and headed out onto the beach.
The next few hours passed quickly. There was alcohol aplenty, and I tried to keep myself at a steady buzz without getting trashed. There were five couples, me, and at that moment I realized that John didn't bring a guest either. I knew that he wasn't in any serious relationship at the moment, but I was sure he would have been able to round up someone to come with him. I made my way to the cooler to grab me and Sandy another beer and John met me there. He smiled at me, put his hands in the air, leaned his head back and bellowed "DAT! ASS!" I hit him in the chest as the group behind me sent up loud and boisterous agreements to his proclamation. "Seriously, Mel, that thing is good," he said, handing me two beers out of the cooler.
I smiled, and probably blushed a little. "It better be considering the amount of squats I have been doing." John walked back the short distance to the group with me, and I handed Sandy her beer, but stayed standing to talk with John. "Where's your guest?"
"Bleh. Bitches, ya know?" he said, taking a swig of his beer. I nodded in agreement.
"Must not be as good as you used to be. But don't worry, I will give you a pity fuck from time to time." I smiled as he playfully glared at me, and took a large drink of my beer. "Race to the water?"
He took another drink, and shoved his bottle down into the sand. "How about I run down there, and then you run towards me. In slow motion."
I shoved my bottle into the sand as well, shoved him, and ran towards the water. He still beat me, and dove into the waves as I slowed down to get into the water slowly. I looked behind me and the group was making their way to the water too, and we all spent the next hour or so floating, splashing, laughing, and just having a good ol' time.
It had been late afternoon when we initially made our way out, and so it was getting dark when we decided to make our way back. We all decided not to go out to eat, or to cook anything, but just raided all of the tasty treats that the company had stocked the kitchen with. Soon the large dining table was covered in large array of snacks and various different drinks, mine being a large glass of white wine. Everyone was talking and laughing, getting up from time to time to refill drinks and grab more munchies.
I was nibbling on my sliced cucumber when I felt slight pressure on the back of my chair. Before I could turn there was suddenly a tortilla chip right in front of my face. It was smothered with nacho cheese, sour cream, and had a sliced olive placed neatly on top of it. I gasped and stared at it lustfully as it got closer and closer to my face, and then I heard John's voice as he whispered in my ear "Just a taste...just look at it...so perfect...so delicious..." I laughed and opened my mouth for him to feed me, making sure to bite his finger. "Ow! Oh, you bitch. And to think I was going to share!"
He moved into the seat next to me that Jack had abandoned, and placed a plate of nachos before me. I didn't even look at him as I smiled and reached for another chip, closing my eyes as I ate it. "That's what you get for being a bad influence," I informed him, picking up another chip and stuffing it into my mouth. We sat and talked for a while, and soon people started to pair off. Some couples headed upstairs, while others moved to the couches in the living room. I picked up the empty plate and a few other dishes and put them in the sink, refilling my wine glass on my way back to John.
"I'm going to head outside. Would you like to join?" he asked, standing up from the table and walking to the sliding glass door.
"Sure," I agreed, and followed close behind. It was glorious outside. Warm, but breezy enough to be comfortable. I had put a loose v-neck shirt and jean shorts on when we came back from the beach, but still had my bikini on underneath. I ran back in to grab the wine I had forgotten, and when I came back out onto the deck, I heard the sound of a lighter flicking. "Oh, you beautiful bitch. Can I have..."
John turned towards me and handed me a lit cigarette. I took a drag, and exhaled slowly. He grinned at me, and I couldn't help but smile back. He took a seat on a bench on the furthest part of the deck, and I sat across from him on another. We sat in silence while we smoked our cigarettes, and when I finished mine I leaned back in contentment.
I was looking out towards the ocean when John said, "You look really happy, Mel." I smiled and turned towards him.
"I am. Great day with friends. Buzzing pretty good. Cigarette," I said. He pulled a pack out and placed it on bench next him, and I smiled at him again. I was feeling playful, and leaned forward, placing my elbow on my knee and my chin on top of my fist. "So...what's a girl got to do for another one of those?"
