We don't get many invitations to parties or anything these days as I'm always gigging with my band. However, one party we did manage to attend was a presentation/showcase night for upcoming bands that the winner of would be offered a very lucrative series of gigs in some amazing venues all across Europe. This particular venue was a very large and swanky top notch casino in London, monkey suits, evening dress, chandeliers, champagne...... the whole thing, card tables, gigantic roulette tables where money was not a problem and was by far the most popular entertainment.
Anyway, my wife decided to come to this one strangely enough, as she rarely comes to any of the gigs we do nowadays, but I guess the chance of dressing up was too much for her to resist. She is always ready to buy new clothes especially for a glamorous affair like this.
I had to rent a James Bond outfit which I wasn't very happy with, but I guess you have to toe the line in these places. When I put in on she fell about laughing which wasn't very comforting, then she told me she really quite fancied me in it so I guess I'd have to go along with it. She on the other hand emerged wearing a dazzling black backless glittery dress which touched the floor at the back but was high enough to see her gorgeous strappy silver ultra-high stiletto shoes and tanned feet and ankles, also with ankle chains, which I find extremely sexy, from the front, really stunning and just so sexy. She has a very long back and it looked beautiful as she posed around the bedroom and she had bought a necklace that goes down her back with lots of dangly bits on it which really set the whole outfit off a treat. You could also see she had no underwear on as the back swept so low it almost showed her cheeks, perfect, daring but absolutely perfect. It had a roll collar with a silver clasp at the neck and exposed all of her shoulders. It was also split down to her naval but didn't show a great deal of skin unless she particularly wanted it to. Her hair was up showing her swan-like neck off, a real beauty and always a head-turner, she was gonna twist a few necks tonight. The taxi arrived, so that we could both have a drink or two and we were off, before I could get close enough for a delayed start to the evening.
When we arrived, we were greeted at the door and our coats taken then showed to our seats in the theatre part of the casino. Already a few people had checked the missus out, I was going to have to keep my eye on her tonight. Within a short while a few musicians and managers were coming over and we all got engrossed talking about bands, guitars, gigs European tours and the like, I could already tell my wife had had enough as I was already ignoring her.
At that point the doors burst open and in came somebody I recognised but couldn't put a name to, my wife said he was from some TV series she was watching whom she quite liked, so at least she'd have something to tell her friends about.
As I got deeper into talk about the bands possibilities I could tell my wife was getting very bored already, so I suggested she take a walk around the casino to see if she could spot any other TV stars. I only had to say it once, she was off like a shot. Straight away I realized I should be with her, as she would be pestered for the rest of the night with guys hitting on her dressed like that.
She headed straight for the main Roulette wheel where Mr.TV guy was and stood where she could watch him playing. I had one eye on her and one on the acts my band was up against for this lucrative deal which would make me a lot of money, but I could only concentrate on one thing at a time, so it had to be on the band which was the reason we were there in the first place.
After a while I managed to break free of the band as they were having a band changeover so I went to look for my wife. She was standing right next to Mr Handsome at the roulette wheel and his hand was lightly touching her back playing with the necklace and pretending to admire it so he could touch her some more as he threw chips on the table and raked even more in, he was encouraging her to help him with the betting. I got a bit closer and heard him say she was his lucky charm for the evening and that she was to stay by his side while he gambled. She didn't say no, so I assumed she was very happy to have his hand sliding up and down her back. She wiggled and giggled like a shy teenager and I was transfixed by how beautiful she was.
Just then the next band came on so I had to go and check them out as we were on after them and would have to get my gear to the rear of the stage. The band finished, we did our spot and it was all over in about 40 minutes, but I never spotted my wife's face at our table so I assumed she was still at the roulette wheel. When I finally got back to the casino there was a massive crowd and Mr. Smoothie was gambling very high bets and was winning big.
Everyone was going oooooo or ahhhh as he took win after win and even clapping. At the end of each round he would put chips in a pile in front of my wife, encouraging her to pick a number or a colour. If he won, she won, and it looked like she'd won thousands for him. Still he was caressing her back, waist and hips, playing with the back jewellery and whispering in her ear, making sure his lips touched her ears or her neck as he spoke to her, I was getting more than a little bit jealous by now, but how on earth could I get my wife away from the table without making a scene, it was impossible. He obviously thought she was on offer, but I'd have to break the bad news to him sometime, so I tried to catch her eye a couple of times when there was less activity, but she was blind to anything else at the moment.
I still have to pinch myself when I look at her sometimes because she is so beautiful, but she looked super ravishing tonight and I wanted to be the one to ravish her, no-one else. As she leaned over the table to get the chips, I could see him constantly checking her body out, looking down her cleavage which is delicious I know, then her boobs as they jiggled invitingly as she moved around, then checking out her rear end and back as she raked in the chips, he was doing it on purpose. Again I got a little more jealous, but have had to learn to curb my jealousy as she always attracts admiring glances and more, from men and women and she always will.
She had been plied with plenty of champagne by the looks of things and she was giggling every time he said anything, it wasn't that funny from where I was standing, but there you go.
The bands had come to any end now and everyone was just having a drink and relaxing while the judges were deliberating over the winning band. I had to go back to the lads to share in the nerves, but I was more nervous about my wife, the roulette table and Mr.Wanderinghands.
Great news, we won the contract, now for a few beers and find the wife and tell her we'd won. Unfortunately when I got back to the table, they had gone and somebody else was losing badly. I asked a couple of people where Mr. Schmooz had gone and they said he was in the VIP bar through the roped off area at the end of the room, which unfortunately was guarded by 2 enormous bouncers. When I explained to them I was looking for my wife they obligingly let me through and laughed.
