Sexy Again Chapter 02 - Birthday Girl
I hate birthdays. I mean seriously, who needs to be reminded that they're getting older? Especially at my age. But I have decided to make this one special for myself. I think I will pamper myself a little.
I search for luxury hotel rooms near my town. I want to get out of this small town I am in and find a place with more nightlife. Maybe take in some type of show or listen to a band. I find myself a very nice room. I wanted one with a big soaker tub and a fireplace. Of course, they won't have real fireplaces, but an electric one will be just fine. I find the perfect room and book it. It's just going to be me, but that's ok. It's my birthday, my single celebration.
My birthday isn't for a few weeks, but I wanted to get the room to make sure I have one. You never know what may be going on downtown at any time. It's in a very cool part of town near bars and restaurants. I should be able to find something to do to entertain myself. I am relieved to have that part nailed down. At least I have somewhere to go.
Not sure what the night will bring, I need to figure out wardrobe plans. Of course I'm not the dressy type. But I need something cute and sexy. I used to have a velvet dress, years ago. I remember one picture of me in it and I have always loved that shot and that dress. Maybe I will look for something in velvet. My birthday is in winter so velvet will be appropriate for the season. It's soft and sexy. I want to get my hair done too. I'd like to wear it down for a change. The whole messy bun thing, although practical and easy, is not the look I am going for. Is it silly to go through all of this just to spend my birthday alone? Probably. I just want to feel sexy and enjoy my night. And maybe get a few approving glances.
I have actually been dropping hints to a special someone I'm not sure he'll pick up on them and I'm sure he'll have plans of his own and not have time for me. It's fun to think about though. We have a lot of history, and I feel that if he decides to find me, it may be a wonderful birthday present. A girl can hope. For now, I will just work on getting my plans together and checking out different venues during that time to see if there is anything fun going on.
I start my search online for dresses and accessories but feel I need to go shopping to try on actual clothing. You never know what you may end up with ordering online. I have seen stories of people receiving kids' clothes and guys getting women's clothing when opening their packages. Those incidents make for funny memes and videos, but I don't want to have to deal with that. So, off to the mall for a mini shopping spree. That's another thing that is foreign to me. I am not a shopper. I feel like I am different from most women. I have never been the hair and make-up, hair salon, shopping mall type. I'm plain.
There was a time, many years ago when I received an invitation to a fancy event. My ex is friends with a tailor who was part of a fashion show exhibiting some of his custom suits. I ended up crashing the event. I like to say it was the only time in my life where I felt like all the women there hated me and all the men turned to look. I went shopping then too. I ended up buying a sequined cocktail dress. Size two, different shades of purple paisleys all over the dress, it was short and tight. I even went so far as to buy a pair of silver sequined shoes to go with it. I tanned far enough in advance, so my skin was the perfect shade. My friend who was a hair stylist did a big fancy up-do for my bleach blonde hair. I have to laugh when I think about it now. I looked like Vanna White on an episode of Wheel of Fortune.
Of course there was an open bar. He ignored me most of the night and I ended up getting drunk and making a fool of myself. Luckily, I didn't make a huge scene and ended up leaving and walking home alone, drunk and stupid. But hey, I did make an impression for my fifteen minutes. I still can't handle my booze.
So, off I go. I do everything alone, so I don't have anyone to shop with, which is probably for the best. I can take my time and find just the right thing. Since it is close to the holiday, I am hoping for something semi formal, maybe long, flowy. I guess I'll know when I see it. My first stop is one of the higher priced department stores. The only thing I am finding there are too young looking for me. Sure, I can fit into them, but I really want something comfortable. I don't have huge tits to fill in a slinky gown type dress, and I don't want to wear heels, I'm not too tall and don't need something so long that it drags the ground.
Like I said, I'm plain. Normal height, not too tall, not too short. Not too thin, not too heavy. I am five foot five and around one twenty, give or take. My boobs, although a little more filled out due to age and gravity are still pretty small and I now have some curves where I used to be pretty straight. But of course, age and gravity do have a tendency to change the mold of the body. I am not the type to turn heads. I have never been self-confident enough to think I am beautiful. I have never been a beauty queen. It's ok, I am not on the hunt anyway. I would like to be able to say, "Hey it's my birthday!" And some random stranger offer to buy me a birthday drink. Just make a girl feel special. I'm tired of the gloom and doom of getting older. I just want to have a night to celebrate me.
I am a horror movie buff. I'm more a slasher, serial killer girl. A bit dark and mysterious and weird. But is it so wrong to want that Lifetime movie, Harlequin Romance type of night? When the handsome stranger from your past shows up at just the right moment and sweeps you off your feet and into bed?
Don't all girls yearn for that kind of movie moment? Maybe I am just a hopeless romantic
