I'd been looking forward to the party for a couple weeks. It was a mutual friend's birthday party, and it was a theme party. We were instructed to come dressed as what we wanted to be when we grew up. For gags, Kris and I went as Hugh Hefner and his Gothic Playmate.
I'd planned the outfit, and it was great! My hair was long and dark brunette, with a white-blonde streak in front, ala Rogue from X-Men movies. My brown eyes were rimmed with black liquid eyeliner, and I wore the reddest lipstick I could find. Tight red tank top and black pushup bra, and a micro-mini pleated skirt. I went with red and black striped thigh-high stockings, and Doc Martens boots. I loved the outfit, and from what looks I got, so did the guys at the party!
We got to the party, greeted the birthday boy, and cosied up with drinks to watch people play a drinking game called Tippy Cup. Kris and I were on the porch couch, watching everyone else and chatting, when he left his hand on my knee as he was talking to someone else. I didn't think anything of it, as Kris and I are always more familiar with each other that the average set of friends. His hand stayed on my knee, fingers drawing lazy circles absently. Kris stood up to play Tippy Cup, and I sat on the arm of the couch to watch, right next to the table where the game was being played. Randomly, between turns, Kris would lean over and kiss me square in the mouth, longer than the normal peck on the lips. The more I drank, the less I noticed how unusual his behavior was. At some point in the evening, Kris and I ended up on the couch, making out like teenagers, apparently.
Everything I tell you next was a blur of events that I am unsure of, as to the order they happened. Either we made out on the Tippy Cup table, or in the driveway first, I don't recall, but I do remember being plunked down on the table and my breasts getting teased by his mouth. The idea that I was making out with a guy that was nothing more than a friend while sober, vaguely registered in my mind as the alcohol numbed out the surprise of the whole experience. Had I been sober, I'd have been shocked.
