This is the nineteenth story.
This is the story of Sienna.
To summarize some necessary backstory, I'd been at a charity luncheon with Lily (you might remember Lily? Hot mom? Wager of psychosexual warfare?) and her ex-husband Trent had shown up with a gorgeous young blonde on his arm. They'd come over to our table to say hi, there'd been a lot of awkward tension between all four parties, and I'd definitely sensed that Trent's hottie and I could've had some fun in another life.
That was Sienna, and we weren't going to have to wait that long.
About a half hour later I used the restroom, down a side hallway off the ballroom, and when I emerged Sienna was standing outside, across the hallway, despite there being an unoccupied restroom next to mine. I stopped in my tracks, looked toward the ballroom to make sure neither Lily nor Trent could see us, then crossed the hallway to her.
She was about half a head shorter than me, if balanced on very high heels. She was wearing a silver dress, studded with rhinestones, that hugged her tight body incredibly, her waist so thin that her hips had nowhere to go but out, a plunging neckline showing off ample cleavage, her breasts large on her frame and possibly fake. She was very tan and incredibly manicured, from her wavy blonde hair to her dark eyebrows to her full glossy lips. Everything about her was impeccably crafted, and I saw exactly why Trent wanted to flaunt her in front of his ex-wife.
"Hey," I said.
"Hi!" she said, smiling widely, breathy. "Jack?"
"Sierra," I said, messing up on purpose.
"Sienna."
"Oh that's right, I'm sorry."
"That's okay. It happens a lot."
She laughed, a bubbly rising thing. She was twisting her hands together in front of her stomach, looking at me with wide eyes, biting the inside of her bottom lip. I just looked at her, my gaze steady, wearing a half smile, waiting for her to speak.
"What?" she said.
"What?"
"You're staring at me." She lightly emphasized staring, while looking lightly scandalized.
"Sorry, you're just incredibly beautiful."
Her mouth dropped open.
"I-"
I shook my head, smiling. "Sorry, I meant, I thought you were gonna say something."
"I was," she said, nodding.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah."
"What were you gonna say?"
She narrowed her eyes at me, pursed her lips, and then shook her head.
"I have no idea," she said, laughing.
"You were gonna ask for my number."
She froze, her mouth hanging open.
"You're with that woman," she said.
"And you're with that man."
"We're not official."
"Us either."
I leaned in toward her, said under my breath, "Everyone here is so ancient."
She laughed, leaned in, whispered, "Oh my god! Right?"
"What are you, twenty?"
She blushed, started rotating her hips back and forth like a schoolgirl, her eyes locked on mine. "Twenty-three."
"I'm glad," I said. "Then we can grab a drink together. Give me your phone."
She obeyed without seemingly a single thought to the contrary, no hesitation at betraying the guy waiting for her in the ballroom, no matter how official or unofficial they might be. I felt only the slightest twinge of shame at what I was doing to Lily, but I had no misconceptions about our relationship, knew what we had was a purely sexual thing, a love of fucked-up fuck games and a willingness to participate in them. I also knew that, if she found out, she'd get some savage joy out of me stealing Trent's new toy out from under his nose.
I took Sienna's phone from her, typed in my number, and handed it back to her.
"Text me," I said. "We'll grab a drink. Or play some golf. I've heard you've got a good game."
"That'd be fun!" she said, before going suddenly serious. "We can't go to his club though."
"I wouldn't dream of it. Some other course."
"That'd be fun."
"I have to get back," I said, starting to walk away. "Talk to you soon?"
"Yeah," she said, nodding, her eyes wide, before she turned toward the wall of bathrooms and strode toward it, her high heels indenting the carpet.
I returned to the ballroom and sat back down next to Lily, and she didn't suspect a thing.
And that's how I found myself one early morning a couple weeks later idling in my car outside a very nice apartment building in Beverly Hills, waiting for Sienna to emerge for our first golf date. When she did, I wolf-whistled, completely alone in my car and for no one's benefit but mine.
She was dressed exactly as I'd dreamed she'd be, wearing a polo shirt and a pleated skirt, pure white Adidas and a sporty visor. Her hair hung down past her shoulders in perfect waves, and all of her face and arms and legs had a deep golden tan. Her breasts looked slightly smaller than they had been at the luncheon, but I was happy to see they looked a lot more natural. I wondered what pushup bra dark arts had been used on them at the event, and whether Trent liked, possibly demanded, a bustier, faker gal by his side.
I got out, walked to the back of my car and popped the trunk. She had a bag of clubs over her shoulder.
"Hi!" she said brightly.
"Hey you," I said.
I leaned in and we exchanged a quick hug, and then I took the bag from her and and nodded at her outfit.
