It was my best friend's birthday and so, even though I had an essay to finish by friday, I reluctantly put on my little black dress, a red belt and some sexy red heels and headed out to the restaurant where we were meeting.
I lived on the opposite side of the city but opted to walk to save some money for that gorgeous brown bag I really wanted to buy... At the end of the road, a couple of men leaned from the window of their Ford Fiesta and yelled at me to suck their cocks. I don't understand why men do that; it really does not make me want to answer "yes." Still, it was an affirmation of sorts that I looked good which I had not previously gotten since both my flatmates were away for the weekend. I tossed my hair at them provacatively to make them hornier. I received quite a few other comments on the way to the restaurant and some admiring looks at my legs. I'm only of average height but I regularly play basketball and squash and so I have fabulously long, toned legs that were perfectly shown off tonight by the short dress and red heels. The air was hot and steamy, as if it were about to storm, so I had not bothered to bring out a jacket with me. I was aware that, compared to others heading home, I looked quite exposed but I didn't care because I felt so gorgeous.
I was the last one to arrive and squeezed myself into a seat against the wall with an apologetic cry of "Happy Birthday darling!" to James. This was our favourite restaurant and we came at least once a month so the waiters knew us rather well. One immediately jumped forward to fill my glass with a big slop of white wine that I gulped down gratefully after the walk. I turned to my left to investigate which of my friends I would be spending the evening next to but to my surprise the man was a stranger.
"Hi," he introduced himself with a smile. "You must be Alice. I'm Ben."
Recognition dawned on me. "Of course! You're on the rugby team with James. I think we have met once or twice, although not properly." I tried to return his smile but I wasn't feeling particularly comfortable squeezed behind the table and up against him. Suddenly my sexy dress didn't seem so appropriate and I tugged it down across my thighs and then up over my smallish breasts. His eyes followed my hands lazily.
I drank deeply from my glass and again and, with the warm glow of the wine and the loud buzz of conversation in the small room, I relaxed enough to talk to Ben. After dinner, we moved on for dancing to the bar next door. When I stood up for the first time, I realised how drunk I was and swayed rather when walking out to the street. Ben caught my arm and led me straight inside and on to the dance floor. The music was fun and jazzy and he pressed me against him. I could feel his erect penis nudging at my belly at every turn but he didn't seem self-conscious about it so I ignored it and continued to dance.
Eventually everyone left, some separately and others to take a very drunken James back to his house. I realised only Ben and I were there, alone.
"I'd better head home," I said.
