As the semester began drawing to a close, finals nearly over, I invited my friends over for a "kegger on the porch" event the Friday after finals. Most of them would still be in town, not having left for home or wherever they had summer jobs, so it was a good chance for everyone to blow off some steam. Little did I know, events this night would represent a not so subtle change in my relationship with my on again/off again girlfriend, Beth. It had already taken a few turns into uncharted territory over the months, but this might be off the end of our flat earth.
As Friday rolled closer, I went out and purchased a couple of small pools so we could at least pretend to swim and stay cool, along with the before mentioned keg, tub and ice. My part being done, I left it up to the crew to bring...well...everything else. Friday was upon me before I knew it and with my finals done all I had to do was chill. I ventured out of the house to set up the tub and ice, giving the keg plenty of time to get cold before anyone arrived, then filled the two small pools. After hauling out a couple of lawn chairs, I sat down to take in some sun and "properly" test the beer to make sure it was up to my standards.
Needless to say, I was already feeling quite good when folks began to arrive, setting up their own chairs. I was completely at ease and comfortable, so I was not in the least bit surprised or bothered to see Beth walking towards us, passing by as it were. As always she never ceased to amaze me how perfect her body was, and the tight pants and blouse she was wearing definitely put all her fine curves on display. I could tell she was scanning the crowd, which had grown considerably to around 20 or so people (a few of which I had never seen before, but that was nothing new at a college party), so when her eyes found me I gave her a friendly wave. She immediately turned towards me with a spring in her step that had her breasts bouncing wonderfully within the shirt she was wearing. It did not help that I knew exactly what they looked like when they were free and naked, so the little man downstairs perked up...down boy!
"Hello Alec," she said in that voice that matched her body, sultry and sensuous, "quite the party you have going here."
"Ya, end of the school year, steam release party. I feel less steamed already." I returned in a voice that was a good deal calmer than I would have thought. Damn this woman could tie me in knots! Keep it cool man! "Why don't you stay and hang for a bit, there's plenty of beer."
"I might just do that, though I need to do a few things at the apartment first. How long will you all be out here?"
"I would imagine until the beer runs out, but I am sure we will be at it for at least a few more hours, longer if folks bring more beer."
"Okay! I'll see you in a bit!" Turning, she headed back to the sidewalk.
As I watched her walk away, her hips swayed with a mesmerizing rhythm that caught the eye of every passerby. I lifted my glass of beer in a silent toast to that captivating sight. Our relationship was a peculiar one, not quite fitting the traditional mold, and it seemed to evolve into something more distinct with each encounter. When it was just the two of us, the intimacy was electrifying, a connection that sparked and sizzled. But recently, our escapades had become more... inclusive, involving others in our once-private moments. It was still thrilling, yet the aftermath felt less intimate, making it difficult to find that cozy closeness afterward. Since our last adventurous rendezvous, which had featured my friend Dan as an unexpected participant, it had been a few long months without any physical connection. I could feel the tension building within me, a restless energy seeking release. She, however, had a libido that surpassed even my own, and I knew her frustration was mounting, making her both a tantalizing and potentially unpredictable force.
Well, the party continued on at a lively pace with more people arriving then leaving. We did have to chase off a few younger kids that tried to blend in and get to the keg, but that all happened without issue. Since my end of the front lawn was in the shade a bit, a number of people gravitated towards me as the day moved along. Soon I was the lucky recipient of some attention from a rather curvy brunette, who happened to have quite a sexy southern accent, and she was laughing at all my jokes, even the lame ones.
Eventually nature called so I excused myself and headed into the house to get some much needed relief. When I exited the bathroom, that same sexy southerner was perched on a counter top in the kitchen, apparently waiting for me. She smiled as I approached.
"I was getting a bit overheated outside so I thought I would come in and cool off a bit." she welcomed me with that lovely drawl. "My name is Sandra by the way."
I hurriedly checked my immediate memory and was pleased to know that I had washed my hands before I exited said bathroom.
"I'm Alec." I smoothly (not) replied as I reached to shake her hand
Still holding her hand, I was about to make a witty reply, or even a limerick, when in walked Beth. I could all but see the wheels turning in her head as she looked at each of us in turn, then coolly placed the six pack of beer she was carrying in the fridge. As she turned to leave, walking past me, she possessively placed a hand on my arm, glancing at my new friend as she did so.
"See you outside Alec." she called over her shoulder, pointedly ignoring the gal I was talking with.
Looking irritated, Sandra waited until I turned back towards her before saying anything.
"Is that your girlfriend?" she questioned in a still sexy, but now peeved voice.
"She is just a friend, but we used to see each other" Amazingly I managed to get that out without stuttering, but definitely on the defensive.
"But you have slept with her...I can tell that much"
