It was around 6pm on a Friday night. The sun had begun its slow descent beyond my backyard fence line. It has been starting to come into our summer season here in Australia. The heat that had been penetrating the walls of our house for the last two weeks was a constant reminder of spring closing and the warmth inbound. I wiped away some sweat that had been forming on my forehead as I toiled away at the BBQ. I looked back up and into our patio to see Danielle walking out with fresh drinks for our guests. Her lengthy black hair had stuck to the wall of a few glasses as she handed them over to Sean and Laura. We had just installed a new spa and so Danielle asked her friends over for a night so we could try it out with others.
"How far away are the steaks hon?" Danielle called.
"Only a few minutes! Clear the table guys, we'll be eating soon!" I replied.
"Thank God, I'm bloody hungry Nath" Laura called back. Nath was my nickname which a lot of Nathan's got here in Australia.
I watched Laura stand and help Danielle to start moving the drinking games we had been playing across to a smaller table we had sitting off to the side. They cut an interesting shape against the plastic shutters I looked through. Danielle was a little shorter than average at about five foot four. She had quite a petite frame from her wrists to her shoulders and down to her ankles. This petite frame however supported an ass I was obsessed with. As her best friend put it, she had a 'phat ass white girl booty' that she was jealous of. Her softly tanned skin offset her dark hair that was resting across her shoulders and back, it wouldn't be long before she had a full and dark tan. Watching the summer dress sway and cling to her curves as she moved was captivating and made me think of her body for a moment. We had been together for around 6 years and she had only gotten hotter to me. She worked hard on her fitness and stayed thin, except for her butt which was getting bigger as she packed muscle into it from the gym. During this time she had come out of her skin sexually, and while very shy in person, she was a freak behind closed doors.
Laura on the other hand was the opposite to Danielle in many ways. Laura was taller than your average girl. I'm not sure of her exact height, but she was taller than Sean and when hugging me her forehead was level with my eyes. Laura had a French background and sported long blonde hair and the pale skin that often accompanied it. I watched as she bent over to pick up a few empty bottles with her thin hands. Laura was thin from head to toe, she was very lean and not as curvy as Danielle, however she had been blessed with amazing boobs. Ever since I had known them I was aware that she was stacked opposite to my girl. Each hug before and after we started hanging out reminded me of that as I could feel Laura's chest against my own. As she bent over I watched her black pencil skirt hug to her figure like a second skin and her boobs push the front of the dress to its limit as they hung down. I turned back to the BBQ before my thoughts ran away from me and caused an obvious tent in my pants.
As I turned, I noticed Sean sitting back and playing on his phone while the girls tidied everything for us. Typical. I wasn't the biggest fan of Sean as he was a little egotistical and worried more about what someone does for a living than who they were as a person. We still got along though, mostly I tolerated his bullshit for Danielle's sake, as it was important for her to keep her and Laura's friendship alive, but the guy frustrated me. He was full of himself and I couldn't tell why.
Danielle had known Laura from university. Both of them had studied nursing and then finished their masters in nursing too. With two years left of her six year journey I met Danielle, and by extension, Laura eventually. We had always got along really well and were all very comfortable around each other. Not long after that Laura rolled into a night out with friends with Sean attached to her arm, apparently she had met him during a statistics class. I started to see through him right away as he was constantly bashing on about how he was going into accounting. Or how he 'didn't realise that it was such a highly thought of degree before he started haha' or that 'someone's engineering degree might be tough but it was no accounting!' etc. These sorts of comments continued whenever we would catch up. He's told me first hand that he doesn't find trades all that respectable as they're 'mostly for idiots' after finding out I own my own landscaping business. Add that to his general attitude of being above everyone else and he was a bit of a wanker in my books. But hey, I'm likely not all roses and sunshine either. I scooped the steaks and chicken kebabs onto a serving tray and headed towards the table with them.
"Dinners up!" I bellowed into the house so that the girls could hear me.
"I'm not really big on steak or chicken kebabs, is there anything else to eat?" Sean asked while not looking up from his phone.
"Yeah, UberEats exists. You could have said anything before I started cooking them mate!" I offered back before walking inside.
As I came into the kitchen I bumped into the girls who were in the process of knocking back a shot. I overheard Laura talking about how Sean was frustrating her as she was over his general attitude towards others when they went out. Funnily enough I was feeling the same way. The shot glasses clinked to the table.
"Well, let's get him smashed then and he might be less annoying!" Danielle joked with her.
We had already been into the drinks somewhat heavily for the last few hours. I'd finished a six pack and the girls had knocked off a bottle of wine between them. Sean hadn't brought drinks and decided he didn't want to drink my beers as 'beers are gross to drink' so had been sober all evening so far. I decided to go along with their plan and so grabbed 4 shot glasses, filled them all with tequila and suggested the girls take all 4 out to him.
"Alright, I'm on board. Time to get the man drunk!" exclaimed Laura.
"Whoo! Big shots incoming Sean!" shouted Danielle as she stepped onto our patio.
I scooped up some plates and serving utensils and made my way out to be rewarded to a view of Sean struggling with his third shot in quick succession.
"Aw yuck. This tequila is no good! Besides, I hardly drink anymore! What are you guys trying to do to me?" Sean squeaked out after downing his third glass.
"Come on mate, you don't want to disappoint the girls do you?" I goaded. I knew he always wanted to be seen as the top dog.
Slam. I looked across to see his fourth empty shot glass hit the table. He let out a whole body shake as it made its way through his taste buds. With that done we were ready to get stuck into the food and I couldn't help but scoff to myself watching Sean pick at his food like a toddler. The man was tiring.
"Well done on the steaks Jamie!" Laura said.
"Yeah this is delicious" added Danielle.
"Thanks guys, it's just flipping meat on a BBQ though!" I replied, "Besides, Danielle made all the salads!"
"Well I'll stick with them only I think" Sean decided to add in.
"You do what you need to mate!" Was all I could summon up for him.
As we finished up with the food I decided to start clearing plates and glasses away. The sun was finally setting and the temperature of the air had finally started to break, so things were cooling down. After dumping all of our dishes in the sink I decided to help Sean continue his night. Again, I grabbed four shot glasses, filling three with tequila and one with water. As I walked back out I placed two tequila shots in front of him and offered to do shot's with him, but kept quiet that one of mine was water. With the previous four starting to take effect already he accepted. I quickly smashed back my shot of water and the other tequila, while he did his two in succession with me. I was going to get this man drunk I had decided. The disrespect of someone cooking you a meal in their own house was all the reason I needed, Laura kicking off the plan earlier made the decision all the more easier.
