Chuck and Elaine had not only been their neighbors for years, Lainey was Karen's closest friend. When they had separated last fall Karen felt Elaine's pain and wished she could find some way to help. Karen watched the tears streaming down her friend's face as she sat in her front room explaining the disaster of visiting her parents over Christmas.
"All my mother could say, was why didn't I try harder to keep my man. What a load of crap, he left me; he said he was tired of being married. You can believe me, I wasn't going to get on my knees and beg that son of a bitch to stay."
"Well Christmas might have been a disaster but New Year's Eve doesn't need to be. You stay with us and we three will have a nice quiet evening together. We'll eat and get drunk and you can spend the night in our spare room. No don't argue, Tom will love to have you and besides with you here I'll leave him alone so he can watch football."
As for Tom, the neighbor's breakup didn't bother him much at all, he always thought that Chuck was an ass and the only reason he tolerated him was because Karen and Elaine were so close. He certainly had no problems spending the holiday with Elaine; he loved looking at her body, with those big tits and that big round butt he just hoped he didn't drink so much that he made a move on her. Karen with her pretty face and tall lean body could have been a model when she was younger but Elaine had a body that was curvy and made to squeeze. One night after they had made love Tom's wife asked him whom of their friends he would like to make it with and when he wouldn't answer she guessed Elaine. Sometime when they were fucking, she would tease him about Elaine's big boobs by asking him how he'd like to have his face buried in them. What she never told him was that she'd like to have her face in them as well.
On New Year's Eve, the girls cooked and Tom tended the bar, they started the evening with martinis, dirty ones just as Elaine liked. The lamb was cooked to perfection with little red potatoes and carrots in the pan. The mint jelly it was served with complimented the tangy taste of the roast, as they also enjoyed the petite peas and baby onions along with a green salad that Tom put together. They drank a good Pinot that Tom had found at a winery they visited in November, in fact it was so good they opened a second bottle. For desert, they had a Red Velvet cake that Elaine brought along with coffee laced heavily with cognac.
The three enjoyed their desert in the front room where they talked of many things but never a mention of Elaine's marriage. Tom hoped that he wasn't being too obvious as he kept stealing peeks at Elaine's cleavage; at least his wife wasn't poking him in the side or anything. He was thinking back to the cruise the four of them had taken to Cabo last year and how Elaine had gotten so drunk that she never noticed her bathing suit top had slipped down exposing her big breasts with those huge nipples. Jeese, why couldn't Karin at least have big nipples instead her little boy nips. The idea just popped into his head,
"I know what we need, some shots of Tequila, I still have some left from our trip last year."
The girls were buzzed just enough to think that it was a good idea so Tom jumped up and got everything together. He placed the plate of sliced limes along with salt and tequila on the bar. Karen and Elaine joined him then they all licked the salt off the back of their hands and then had a shot followed by sucking a lime wedge. The tequila went down so good that they had another one. It was then that Tom remembered a friend telling him about drinking shots of tequila with instead of lime, a slice of a cutie, which is a variety of tangerine new to their local market. He got some out of the kitchen cut them up and everyone had to try a shot that way. They all agreed the tequila was better when followed by the sweet citrus and they had another shot to make sure.
By now, both women were beginning to slur their words and Tom wasn't feeling much pain either. He was standing with his back against the bar and Karen and Elaine were sitting in stools next to him. Tom had not been paying much attention to what they were saying as he kept thinking back to when he was looking at Elaine's bare chest. He couldn't be certain just what Elaine said but it sounded like she had just wished she had a man that was like him. No matter what Elaine had said, he defiantly heard what his wife said next.
