I can't really remember exactly how or why I ended up at a fifty-year wedding anniversary party, but it was something to do with the family of a friend at work, and his "promise" that there would be some unattached attractive women in attendance. However, there were no pretty females (single or otherwise!), but as the selection of Scottish malts on offer was more appealing than an expensive taxi ride to an empty house, I stayed and politely flirted with some middle-aged women who were far more interested in me than I was in them. And by the time the party ended at around midnight, I was so drunk that when one of them offered to give me a lift home as it was "on her way", I just accepted despite wondering how she knew where I lived.
For most of the journey, it was a struggle to stay awake, but although I managed to direct the the woman to my house, I was unable to unbuckle my safety belt when we got there. She sniggered, opened her door, got out, walked round the car, opened the passenger door, leant in, pressed the clip by my waist with her wrist brushing gently against my zipper, and caused an instant, although minor, bulge in my trousers which I hoped she hadn't noticed.
The woman then helped me out of her car, stood me up, guided me down the short garden path while giggling quietly at my inability to walk, mumbled something about needing to help me get in, and while I stood with both palms pressed against the door frame to keep from falling, she put a hand in each of my trouser pockets.
It didn't occur to me at the time that she was doing anything except search for a key, and swiftly dismissed the thought that her hands were in my pockets longer than was necessary as drunken vanity. She pulled out my key, reached around my waist to unlock the door, guided me into the house, and down the corridor as I bounced off both walls.
I collapsed onto the floor when we got to my front room, and stared up at her as the room spun. It was difficult to focus but I managed to watch her step over me, pour what looked like a tall tumbler full of vodka from a bottle near the TV, and then, without speaking, step back over me to sit on the chair near my feet.
My head continued to spin as the woman whose name I didn't know, sipped from the glass, looked at me and then back at the glass, sipped from it again, smirked, and then took a gulp which left the tumbler three-quarters full: "I'll just make you a little more comfortable."
All I could do by way of reply was to was flap my arms aimlessly like a pair of landed fish as she got down from the chair, took off my shoes and socks, and then slowly unbuttoned my shirt.
My eyelids felt nearly as heavy as my arms, and it was difficult to know what was happening, but I can vaguely remember that she said something like: "You won't remember any of this in the morning, but I'll remember it for the rest of my life."
