I was over at wife's friend's house for their yearly cookout. It's never a lot of fun for me since I don't really know the people there, and I end up being the one watching the kids the whole time. Top that off with a bunch of dads who all know each other and are not really looking to invite a new friend into the group, and I find myself literally counting down the time until we leave.
However, this year we got a babysitter for the youngest and the oldest was content to watch TV the whole time. That's where I found myself just sort of hanging out alone outside when she approached me.
Jennifer wasn't too close a friend of ours. She and her husband were well known to the group, and their son was a little older than our oldest, but we had never really considered ourselves friends of theirs. I always had a small thing for her, but with my wife this intertwined with her friends I wasn't about to make this a well-known secret. I tended to just admire from a distance during these sorts of things. Of course without the kids to watch I had been drinking a bit more than usual this afternoon, and perhaps my glances were starting to linger a bit too long in her direction, this is why, I suspected, she was approaching me in the first place.
As she walked over to me, a drink in her hand, I couldn't help but notice the exotic Asian features she had. At five foot two, she was on the shorter side, but her small frame had a very nice set of tits on them, and the one piece skirt she was wearing was very tight. Becoming a mom had changed her appearance somewhat too. She was probably the rail thin girl in college, but now her hips had filled out and her legs were much more muscular than they probably ever were before. The most striking thing about her; however, was that her hair was always in a ponytail, but it was just so silky smooth. Almost like she put something in every single day to make sure it stood out. Of course none of this compared to the smile that she flashed me when she finally got over to where I was standing.
"It's a nice party" she said.
"Yes, yes it is," I countered.
I suddenly glance around looking for my wife. I want to make sure she's not witnessing my possible transgression here. Over the years I've come to experience more than one unpleasant conversation on the ride home after a party like this for speaking out of turn and having my words traverse back to my wife before we leave for the night.
Jennifer asks, "Everyone good in the family?"
"Yep, we're all good, you guys?" I respond.
"Yes, we're doing very well."
"Great!" I said, "Anything new with you?"
Jennifer takes in a deep breath, "Well, I was going to ask you a question, but I'm not sure I should now."
"Really, well that's too bad because I've got nothing but time on my hands here," I retort.
"Well, it's just I keep noticing that you're staring at me, and I'm wondering if there's something you're seeing that I don't. Like, is something stuck in my teeth?" Jennifer asks.
