Living in Manhattan is a great way to ensure that my friends will come to visit me. I love getting a chance to tour people around my city, which is arguably the best place on earth. A friend of mine's wife always wanted to spend New Year's Eve in the city. She wanted to get a chance to watch the ball drop in person. For myself, I always thought that the idea of standing for hours in the freezing cold waiting to watch 10 seconds of a ball dropping sounded like torture. So, when my friend suggested that they come to visit for New Years, I got creative. My uncle's plush, ritzy office looked over Times Square and he had always suggested that I have friends there for a New Year's celebration. I decided to take him up on it. I wanted to show them an evening of luxury and style, so I had champagne on ice and arranged the room so that all of the comfortable chairs and sofas were facing Times Square.
My friend, John, and I decided to surprise his wife, Lola, with this special evening. I picked them up at their hotel in a cab. As soon as they got in, John pulled out a silk scarf and blindfolded his wife. At first, she panicked a little bit at having her vision suddenly cut off, but he wrapped his arms around her and murmured something into her ear. She giggled and gave in to the delicious anticipation of her surprise evening.
When we arrived at the office building, John and I guided Lola to the elevator, still blindfolded. We had drunk a little champagne in the cab, so she was really quite relaxed and mellow as we lead her from the elevator into my uncle's office. I sat her on the soft leather sofa with a perfect view of the ball. John looked at me, then back at his wife and began to smirk.
"Why don't we have some champagne before taking off her blindfold?" I smiled and began pouring the champagne into three glasses. I lifted one of the glasses to Lola's lips and she drank greedily from it, a small rivulet of it escaping from her mouth and running down her neck, into her cleavage. I looked up at John, questioningly, and he nodded almost imperceptibly. I leaned down and began licking the champagne off of the swell of her breast. I slowly followed the drops of champagne up her neck until my mouth met hers. She started with surprise as my tongue parted her lips, realizing that the mouth kissing her was not her husband's. Lola reached up to remove the silk scarf from around her eyes, but John's hand stayed hers.
"John?" She murmured.
