Just a note about the following story-this is my first attempt at writing here so while I hope to hear your honest thoughts please keep any criticisms constructive and respectful.
I have read erotica for many years and decided to try my hand at it. I wasn't sure where to start and people say to go with what you know so thats kinda it...more of a personal memoir, something to get off my chest, so this piece is really less of an example of how imaginative I can be but rather the ability to tell a story with decent enough detail and style that it evokes a feeling and response from the reader.
This is the beginning of the story...it isnt super racy but if people seem interested I will continue.
This took place many years ago now. I am not the same person. Thank you for reading.

Back in my very early twenties I used to work as a server at a local steak house. It was a fun easy job that I could work around my college schedule but still helped me pull in enough money to afford for the small but pretty kick ass efficiency apartment that I rented. Young people in the restaurant scene tend to party and I was no exception, though I would occasionally have a weird side effect when I got too drunk that no one else I knew seemed to have...I could, from time to time, just blackout. I don't know if my body chemistry has changed or, more probable, that I am just more aware and making better decisions these days, but thankfully I don't blackout anymore.
Now you have to understand when I say "blackout" I don't mean pass out. What I mean is that every now and again when I got pretty drunk my mind would sort of short out on the memory side of things. I would keep functioning, well as much as a drunk person can, but no one would know the difference and then typically a short while after I would pass out. When I would wake up I could only recall events that happened before the blackout period. I learned this after some friends and I got drunk on a sleepover at their house once my junior year of high school. I woke up the next morning with a headache and my girlfriends were telling me how fucked up I was. I agreed with them of course, I was fucked up, but then they mentioned me walking on this tiny rail next to their pool and I thought they were making it up. They had pictures, it was real, apparently I walked the length of this thing for some stupid reason and while on one side was the pool, the other was concrete and I could have seriously fucked myself up.
So I learned then that if I didn't watch it and got too messed up that I could find myself in the same place again. Seems simple enough to avoid right? But I was young and I liked to party and drink and I did a good job of convincing myself that I could keep it in check. For the most part I was right, or at least that's what I tell myself.
More often than not I was lucky is more likely the real truth.
This is a story about a time I wasn't so lucky and how the events that followed altered my life for a year and a half after and in other ways altered me forever.
I will begin by telling you what I remember about that first night that started everything and I emphasize remember because there are parts that to this day I don't recall and it's likely I never will.
I remember it was late February because it was cold, frigidly cold, and valentine's had recently passed by and I had no boyfriend. I hate valentine's day for the way it can make you feel when you are young and single...like an outcast or a loser.
I never really gave up that hatred of that made up hallmark holiday.
It was a Saturday night and at our work if you worked the Saturday night shift you were probably off the next day, and for those of us in school there was no school the next day, and that meant if there was any night of the week to get wrecked...it was Saturday night. We would hang out after work at several of the cooks and servers places on any given night of the week to unwind and have a few drinks, but on this Saturday we really let go and this Saturday we were at my place.
My efficiency wasn't large, the name alone tells you that, but it really was pretty cool. My main room/bedroom was large enough to have several areas so I could have a sitting around the couch with the TV area, a desk and study area, and a bed and clothing area. I also had a separate room for a kitchen, a bathroom, and a small deck that came off the main room. So even though there were probably around ten people there that night, we all had space. In truth we were a pretty close crowd to begin with so a smaller place to us just meant you could be part of three conversations at once.
Rather than inventing a lot of new names, let's just say there were a pretty equal number of girls and guys there all pretty young ranging from 19 to late 20's. There was of course the typical work place on again off again romance dramas that plague every work environment and some of the repeat offenders were there that night reliving their same fights and make up make out sessions as you might imagine. I partied with these people for over a year by this point but I hadn't made it into that sort of drama and was content to keep it that way.
Don't get me wrong, there were guys I worked with that I had the hots for. One guy at the time, Ian, I figured to be a bit above my league but none the less I enjoyed flirting with him. To be honest I was a flirt, still am in many ways I guess, but all of us-the girls and guys there-we flirted all the time, and we were all used to it and comfortable with it so it was just accepted. It did make it hard to tell if someone really had an interest in you and if you didn't want to look like a fool you had to get the other person to make a move first so you would know for sure.
So we were having a good night, everyone was already several drinks in, some of the guys were out on the porch smoking a joint, some of them were crowded around the TV watching Jackass reruns on MTV and hollering at the screen, and some of us were in the kitchen taking shots while mixing in shots for jello shooters we were poorly attempting to make. I was doing my best to always be around Ian while not looking like I was trying to hang around him, and at the same time look cute and act like I didn't care who I was casually flirting with.
I did look pretty cute too, not that I'm bad looking now, but I was 21 then and while I would still consider myself average on a scale of hotness, I knew guys were attracted to me and I had a good sense of self confidence. I'm only 5'4" but back then I averaged around 140 lbs and to be fair at least 5 lbs of that was carried in my D size breasts and at least 10 lbs in my butt which was to my own credit round, tight, and firm. I kept my hair long back then just about mid back and I had some fun blonde accents that really looked nice contrasting against my darker chestnut hair and hazel eyes.
The rest of the group was still in their all black work clothes, but as it was my place and I arrived first before they showed up I got to strip down and take a shower so I at least didn't smell like the restaurant. I had changed into some cute black stretchy pajama bottoms that hugged my butt great and a hot pink spaghetti strapped shirt made out of like stretchy towel material. I still miss that shirt. It was comfy, gave just a hint of the bra underneath it allowing for a decent amount of cleavage exposure and it clung to my body like saran wrap. My belly was pretty tight back then so all it did was draw attention to my breasts while still being simple and innocent enough to not make it obvious I was seeking attention.
So I flirted with Ian and some of the other guys and girls, and the night went on pretty much the way it typically did. After a couple hours some of the "on again off again" couples left to go do their own thing, and few others were spacing out and in general the night was winding down. At this point Ian had already headed out and it was just me, Mike, Carol, and Aimee sitting around the couch finishing up drinks and watching TV. Carol and Aimee were both servers like me and close to my age and Mike was a cook in his late 20's. I flirted with Mike too, we were pretty close as far as work friends go and he was a well built guy...tall, short unkempt black hair, a decently toned body, and a typical devil may care attitude about life. But he was someone I always considered past my age interest so we were friends and I never really entertained other ideas about him. So it was no big deal at this point that I was cuddled up next to him on the couch while the girls were discussing who was more drunk and who should drive as they came together.
I remember just before they were heading out Mike headed to the kitchen and grabbed another beer, which was fine. The girls headed home while he was out on the deck smoking a cigarette so I grabbed a jacket and headed out to join him and wave goodbye to the girls below.
"They're heading out already?" he asked watching the two giggling figures disappear down the alleyway.
"Yeah, I think they were already past that point awhile back honestly, I hope they will be ok," I chimed in.
"Don't mind if I hang out and finish this one do ya? Just opened her up."
"Nah, it's cool, now I can have you all to myself," I giggled flirting with him as I jabbed him playfully in the ribs.
"Oh yeah?" he poked me back just under my boob.
"Yeah," I played back poking him again. And so this started off a poke war. We went on discussing other topics but each time we ended our sentence we would poke the other in jest. Then he took the opportunity to poke my boob. "Hey!" I shouted at him with a smile.
"What? Too rough for you? I guess I win then." he smirked locking eyes with mine.
"Never!" I played back and poked him again.
