It had been a month since Nicole last saw Dwight and Curtis on football Sunday. She was back to being the "good wife" to Seth again. She forced herself to ignore Dwight's texts and spend more time with her husband. She focused on working from home and not complaining about "leaks" anymore. And when she occasionally saw Dwight around the building, she greeted him with a simple smile and nod. Dwight never pursued her, so things between them just died down.
Nicole was finishing up cleaning around the apartment. Clearly, a party was about to happen. She set out chairs, snacks, and stocked the fridge with refreshments. Beside the refreshments was a large birthday cake that read "Happy Birthday Seth!"
Nicole wore a nice skirt and top for the occasion. Her sexy legs still showed off, though. The look on her face said that she wasn't enthusiastic about the party. "Babe, how many people are coming again?" she asked.
Seth was in the bedroom getting dressed. "Um, both of our parents, my sister, a few of my friends," he said. "Oh, um, and Pa and Nana," he added.
"What?!" snapped Nicole. "You didn't say anything about your grandparents coming. You know how hard it is to deal with Nana! And your sister hates me!"
Seth walked out of the bedroom laughing. "Stop. Kim doesn't hate you. She's just young. All she has on her mind right now is Dylan. And I know Nana is a lot to take care of, but we can handle it."
Nicole frowned at Seth. "She's really old, nearly deaf and blind, and losing it," said Nicole. "I don't even think she remembers me."
Seth grabbed Nicole and pulled her into him for a quick kiss. "As long as we don't let her wander off again, we'll be fine," he said. "Come on, no more complaining. It's my birthday. They'll be here soon."
A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER
Everyone was at the apartment. The party was going well. Everyone was talking amongst each other and Nicole was trying to be the best hostess she could be. She walked up to Seth's 18 year old sister, Kim. Kim was attractive, like Seth. Blue eyes, young, curvy body with an ass as big as Nicole's. Possibly even a bit bigger. She was texting her boyfriend Dylan.
"Hey Kim. How have you been?" asked Nicole.
Kim looked up at Nicole and rolled her eyes. "I'd be better if this party was over so I could see Dylan," she replied. Then she went back to texting.
Nicole awkwardly walked away from Kim and into the kitchen. She needed a break from all of Seth's family and friends. She looked out into the living room and watched Seth's proud parents shower him with love as her own parents laughed and enjoyed talking to him. She watched Pa sit proudly by Seth and tell jokes. Everything seemed so perfect. But then Nicole realized, Nana wasn't there.
Nicole began to panic. She put on a fake smile and motioned to Seth to come talk to her for a moment. He excused himself and walked over to her. "What's up, baby?" asked Seth.
Nicole leaned in close. "Nana is gone," she whispered.
Seth's eyes widened. He leaned in close. "Nobody's noticed yet. She's gotta be in the building. Can you look for her? If anyone says anything, I'll tell them you took her for a walk," he whispered.
Nicole gave Seth a stern look. "I told you this wasn't a good idea," she whispered before moving towards the front door. Seth walked back into the living room and took everyone's attention so Nicole could slip out unnoticed.
Nicole checked every floor of the building except the basement. She wanted to avoid the basement because that's where Dwight lived. But after finding no sign of Nana, she knew she'd have to. She prepared herself and reluctantly went downstairs.
Once in the basement, Nicole realized there were a bunch of dark, open storage rooms to look through. She searched as quietly as she could, but ended up slamming a door at the wrong time. She winced and realized she'd been too loud.
Then she heard it. The sound of Dwight's door unlocking and opening. Nicole turned her head. Up the hall, in his boxers and dirty wife-beater, stood Dwight. He smirked when he saw Nicole.
"Well well well," said Dwight. "What brings you down here all by yourself, Nicole? You lost?" he asked with a smile.
Nicole sighed and walked up the hall to Dwight. She got close so she didn't have to talk too loudly. "Knock it off, Dwight. This isn't about that. And I don't want to talk about it. This is serious. I need your help," she said.
Dwight laughed. "Oh, so you can't reply to my texts, but now you need my help?" he replied.
"Dwight, I said we weren't gonna talk about this. Besides, it's Seth's birthday. Don't be gross," said Nicole. "Now listen, his grandmother is a little out of it and she wanders sometimes. She can't really hear or see much. She's somewhere in the building and I need to find her. Can you help me search down here?"
"What do I get out of it?" asked Dwight.
Nicole seemed angry. "Nothing," she said. "You get to do a good thing, for once," she snapped at him.
Dwight seemed surprised by Nicole's aggression. "Okay," he said. "Fine, you win. But I'm not changing my clothes."
Nicole glanced down Dwight's body at the outline of his big dick behind his boxers. She could almost see skin through the open slit in the boxers. She quickly looked back up into his eyes. He smiled. She shook her head and turned around. "Follow me," she said.
Dwight followed Nicole through the first couple of storage rooms, finding nothing as they searched. When they got to the third storage room, she went one way and he went the other. After a few minutes of searching, Nicole stopped and lowered her head in frustration.
"I'm fucked if I don't find her," said Nicole.
After a few moments, Nicole felt Dwight sneak up behind her. He moved in close to her. "You could be fucked either way if you want," he whispered. Then he shoved his bulge up against her ass under her skirt. She didn't move.
