After he had called downstairs, Dave snipped the door of the Penthouse open so he didn't have to run and open it for Sally each time she came up with the food. He jumped up to help Sally as soon as she pushed through the door. She was carrying a tray with the starters and putting them down on the sideboard. She slipped off a thin white cotton housecoat, revealing a maid's outfit.
"Christ! Sally, you can't wear that; you'll have the men grabbing at you all night..... Did Trish pick that?"
"No, it's what I chose. I don't want to look like a dowdy housemaid. I can handle myself."
She looked stunning; a white high-necked blouse, over which was a bibbed front, light blue flared maid's dress that hardly reached her mid-thighs. The skirt was flared out from the waist and had a white panel trimmed with lace on the front; it looked like she was wearing an apron, below which were blue high-heeled shoes and white stockings. The outfit made her legs look long and shapely. Her breasts stood out, holding the bibbed top away from her flat stomach. She was going to steal the show; it was bloody sexy.
"Well, if I wasn't worried about you before, I damn well am now. You remember your safe word; I think you might need it. Fuck, you make things difficult!"
They set the three plates of starters out on the coffee table, and then he showed her the silver tray with some mint-flavoured aperitifs to cleanse their palates and where the ice was if needed. Then he took her through the drinks they would be serving.
8:15 pm, there was a tap on the door and in marched Bob, followed by a big pot-bellied man wearing a denim suit, cowboy boots and a large stetson on his head.
But that was not the big surprise; behind him were two black guys dressed in black suits, one about six foot four and built like a linebacker, the other a little shorter but also must have spent many hours in the gym. Then, a good-looking guy of about thirty brought up the rear. Dave knew he must be Bob's store manager, 'Adam'.
They passed Sally, each taking a glass of the mint aperitifs from her tray.
Bob started making introductions, "This is Bill."
The Cowboy with the potbelly stepped forward, holding his hand to Dave, "Wild Bill, they call me, named after Wild Bill Hickok because, like him, I like to fuck big fat cows." And he burst into raucous laughter.
There was a crash behind Dave, and he spun around to see Sally fallen to her knees on the floor, picking up the glasses and the ice she had dropped. As she turned to get a couple of pieces behind her, the room went silent, Wild Bill's laughter stopping dead. They all took in the view of her pert little backside, split by a pure white strip of the thong. The flared maid's dress hardly covered but two inches of her bum.
"Okay, an interesting sight. I bet it's not often that Wild Bill gets the words taken out of his mouth." Said Dave as Sally leapt up, her face crimson.
Wild Bill stepped forward and belted Dave on the shoulder. "You're a good man," he bellowed, "I can see why Bob speaks so highly of you."
"Hey! little filly, don't run away; stay close to me, as I'm a real butterfingers and will be dropping things all night now that I've seen your pretty tail."
Bob stepped in and introduced the other three, "This is Rufus. He's the equal partner and owner of our company."
Bill spoke up, looking towards Sally, who was retreating to the bar. "We call him Ruff 'cause he likes his women that way."
Rufus stepped forward and shook Dave's hand. All Dave could think of was how Trish would react to these guys. Followed by the image of Trish and him in the lounge the night they role-played him being a black guy with a huge cock. He involuntarily looked down at the guy's crotch, then quickly glanced back to look Rufus in the eyes. Thankfully Rufus had a grin on his face and didn't seem bothered by Dave's startled reaction. Dave estimated he was probably around fifty, maybe ten years younger than Wild Bill.
Bob then introduced the next guy. Ezekiel; is Rufus's nephew and the CFO of the company, and this is Adam, my senior store manager.
Both Ezekiel and Adam stepped forward and shook his hand. They were much younger than Bill and Rufus, probably in their late twenties or early thirties.
Dave asked them what they wanted to drink, then went to the bar to mix the drinks. Three Jefferson's with ice and a splash of dry, which Sally carried over to the American guests, then another Jefferson's for Bob and a Rum & Coke for Adam, which he asked to be very heavy on the coke, as they had been drinking all day.
The only Rum Bob had supplied an 1888 Ron Gran Reserva, which Dave knew should never be served with coke. But he splashed a touch of the rum in the glass and filled it up with coke anyway. He thought, 'In this company, what the customer asks for, you give them.'
Each time Sally moved over to the men to serve, all their eyes followed her around the room. By the level of their eyes, it was easy to see the arse men from the tit men. Of course, Wild Bill had a funny embarrassing comment for her each time she passed him. But he was such a merry, cheerful guy; Sally now expected his remarks and laughed them off.
Still, after half a dozen of these comments, Ezekiel came to the bar and apologised to Sally. "He's harmless, little lady; you don't take no offence now; he's just a big noisy cuddly bear." He drawled out in a smooth southern accent.
When Dave noticed they had finished picking at the starters, he sent Sally down to Trish to get the Crayfish boat, sauces, and scallop Mornay's. She slipped on the housecoat and left the room.
Immediately Bob exclaimed, "Fuck Dave, where do you find all these beautiful females. She a horny little thing, shame she doesn't do extras; I'd crawl over broken glass for that."
Everyone in the room started speaking at once, adding risquΓ©, complimentary comments about Sally. Dave got the cold tray of seafood and some of the sauces from under the bench and set it in the middle of the dining table. By the time he had everything set up the way he wanted, Sally had walked in with the seafood boat. Every eye was on her as she set it down and wriggled out of the housecoat. Wild Bill called out as he rose from the Sofa. "Don't stop there; you had better take some more off 'cause it's getting dam hot in here, girl." And more chortles of his raucous laughter filled the room.
Bill moved across to the table and took the seat nearest the wall; Rufus sat next to him, and both had their backs to Dave. Bob sat down opposite Bill, with Ezekiel next to him. Adam settled on the end of the table and started a conversation with Ezekiel. Dave noted that the two younger guys hit it off very well.
As they tucked into the seafood platters, Dave sorted out the white wine, and Sally moved around the table, serving them as they listened to Rufus explaining how he and Bill got together.
Bill had met Rufus in the worst Ghetto in LA. Bill had been there selling his wares from the back of a truck. No white guys dared to enter the Ghetto in those days, and when he started taking some flack, he spotted Rufus and called him over. Bill asked him to watch his back, and he said that he would pay him by the hour. Slowly, one by one, the women dared to drift out from their houses and started buying. By the end of the day, he and Bill were getting along just fine and arranged to meet on a different corner the next day.
By the end of the month, Rufus had more money than he had ever had in his pockets before. Unasked, Bill had equally shared half the profits, and they had never looked back. Bill was the idea's man; he could spot a bargain and read where the market would go next. Rufus was the person man, quickly sorting out the many people that wanted a piece of their pie and banging a few heads accordingly.
Bill interjected, "Rufus can read people's minds. I would never go to a meeting without him. He picks up things I never see."
Rufus carried on. When they had gotten so big that they had warehouses in different states, they needed their own accounts dept and hired Ezekiel to run it. Rufus explained that Ezekiel was his sister's boy and the smartest kid with numbers ever to come out of the Ghetto.
Dave saw they were close to finishing with the seafood, so he called Trish and asked her to get the Asparagus and Scalloped Potatoes on the go. Then as he checked the Eye fillets, he heard something hit the floor, and Bill called out to Sally. "I've dropped my knife, be a good little filly, and pick it up for me, please?"
Sally stepped from the bar and pretended to accidentally hit the knife with her foot away from the table. She looked Bill in the eye, giving him a little girl lost look, and mouthed 'Sorry'. Then the little minx turned and bent over, fumbled to pick up the knife giving Bill, Dave, and Rufus a long clear look at that pert round bum. Dave knew the night would go awry when he saw her protruding camel toe barely contained by her white thong. And adding to his discomfort, she gave her bum a sexy wiggle, stood, and handed Bill his knife.
"Jesus, girl, you one-upped me. I won't be dropping that again. My heart just stopped. I thought the big guy upstairs was calling me up to heaven to visit him," holding his chest, Bill again set the room alight with merry bellows of laughter.
Ezekiel called out, nothing wrong with my heart. I've gone and dropped my fork. Sally moved around to his side of the table, only this time she faced him, looked into his eyes, and squatted slowly in front of him, knees wide apart. Adam had the best view and dropped his knife. His was a genuine accident, and he sat still, his mouth gaping wide.
Ezekiel grabbed his chest, feigning a heart attack. "Oh goddam girl, you have just damaged my heart; it's having palpitations. Come and feel it."
Sally shook her head, "You're a very naughty boy trying to trick a young, innocent girl like that." And she sashayed back to the bar, with every eye in the room watching her ass.
