We were finally in the car, and Jeff was driving us to the party. My best friend Nikki and her husband Troy finally got around to throwing housewarming party at their condo even though they've lived there for almost a full year now. The party started at 8:00 but here it was going on 10:30 because my fiancé Jeff said that he had to finish up some work at home.
"We should really pick something up to give them." I say trying to hold back the annoyance in my voice for Jeff making us so late.
"I thought we were 'late enough already'", he retorted trying to mock me.
I glared at him, "Don't EVEN try to be an asshole tonight." It's your fault that we are running so..."
"All right, all right. I'm sorry" he interjected cutting me off, "let's not fight tonight. And it's too late to pick anything up, we're almost there." "But I love you." He added trying to be playful.
"I love you too." I relented. I was definitely still annoyed with him though.
We pulled up to the condo and the party was till going strong, but someone must have just left because we were able to get a parking spot right out front. Nikki and Troy answered the door together when we rang the bell.
"Hey! Oh, nice of you to make it." Nikki teased as she hugged me.
"Yeah, sorry, we had some stuff to do first," I told them, while glaring at Jeff, as we finished up our greetings. Nikki was swaying a little bit and Troy looked like he was feeling no pain either.
"Well, you have to catch up" she said. "I've got margaritas all ready for you." Me and Nikki always have a great time together; we are almost identical in our likes and tastes. Our appearances, however, could not be more different. She is petite, 4'5" really pretty tan skinned asian. Though her breasts are on the small side, A cup, she had a killer body that she seemed not to have to work very hard on maintaining, lucky her. I on the other hand am about 1 inch taller but have more on my body frame. I'm not really chubby since my size is fairly proportional, but I do have to work much harder to keep my weight in check. And though my breasts are large, they are fortunately quite firm and have been known to turn some heads.
Both myself and Nikki don't smoke cigarettes normally but just like other times we've drank, we were working our way through a pack of Camels she had bought for tonight. Jeff doesn't like it when I smoke so I occasionally would catch a slightly disapproving eye from him. I just smiled and waved though and he would sigh and look away.
It seems it didn't take long to catch up at all in terms of getting our drinks on, an hour and a half later I was feeling heavily buzzed and Jeff was as well, based on how loud he was being talking to his friends in the living room.
Someone started up the grill again so we were all out in the yard when Troy mentioned that he had some killer weed and asked if anyone wanted to join him. Nikki passed because she didn't like it that much and Jeff was too busy in the middle of some drinking game. Myself, another two friends we both knew, Angie and her roommate Carla, took him up on his offer.
"Let's head up to the roof so we don't bother anyone," Troy suggested.
It hit me how much I had to drink when we were winding up the stairs and had to climb out a window to get to the roof. But we made it up all right and it was a great night, soon we were toking and feeling awesome sitting on a perch section a few feet from the edge. We could hear the party still in high gear below us as we passed the joints around.
Carla just stayed for a couple passes around before she headed back down claiming she would otherwise fall and break her neck. We were laughing, having a good time and in the course of conversation, with Angie talking about her new boyfriend, the topic inevitably turned to sex and we were definitely getting all playful and flirty. Now Troy is a very attractive man, 6 foot with a gorgeous body(I've seen him in a swimsuit), and I've flirted innocently with him before, both in front of Nikki and not, it's something nearly all our group of friends do so it's no big deal.
So after trading stories about sexual experiences and fantasies we were getting a little worked up. Angie took this time to groan and announce that she had enough and was going to head downstairs.
"I've got to pay you for this and the stuff from before first," she told Troy.
"You don't have to worry about it now," he assured her.
"No, no, no, no." she slurred slightly. "I've got the money now, I don't want to owe you anything."
"$40 will cover the stuff from before, you don't need to worry about anything else." He relented.
"Cool" was her reply and she paid him, kissed him on the cheek and was on the way back in the window when I turned to Troy.
"Jeeze, I don't have any money on me but I'll pay you later for my part." I told him.
"Please, please don't worry about it, it's on me." He assured me.
