Jora is my best and closest friend, and has been for the past 13 years. On 12 February 2022, she celebrated her 27th birthday in the form of a house party. Given our extended relationship, I arrived around 7am that Saturday morning to assist with the party preparations.
We spent the first 3 hours giving her home a well needed deep clean. I washed all of the dishes, washed and wiped all counters and tabletops, cleaned and rearranged the refrigerator, and finally swept and mopped the floors. Meanwhile, Jora washed all of the cushion and pillow covers from the sofas, followed by her laundry from that week. In addition, she scrubbed the toilets and shower walls of both the master and guest bathrooms.
Ensuring the house was in immaculate condition; we stopped for a brief moment to rest then, went on our way to the local supermarket with the task of purchasing the party essentials. Securing a large trolley from outside the building, we excitedly entered. Directed by the store clerk, the alcohol aisle was our first stop.
With careful consideration, we selected some of the popular spirits that we were aware of, as well as a few our own personal favorites. In the juice section, we gathered desirable chasers, along with other self-sufficient non-alcoholic beverages. A wide variety of snacks, and candies that we knew people would enjoy also selected, and lastly the plastic cups, plates and spoons.
Having procured the necessary grocery items, we headed to Ms. Mary's Bakers where we got the birthday cake and 24 cupcakes that Jora pre-ordered, and loaded them into the backseat.
Finally returning, we unloaded everything from the car and organized them throughout the house. The double chocolate, double-layered birthday cake sat in the middle of the kitchen's island, surrounded by the many cupcakes, followed by countless snacks and treats. Old and new bottles of alcohol and disposable cups lined the counter tops.
At the very moment we finished, Jora's parents arrived, wishing their beautiful daughter a very delightful birthday. Her mother carried the food for the party, which was Jora's favorite dish: dhalpourie roti, curried potatoes and stewed chicken. Additionally. They also provided one gallon of her father's homemade coconut flavored cookies and cream ice cream. After many affectionate words, and loving embraces, the parents left and it was time to get dressed for the party.
I got into the guest shower; greeted by the warm water I lathered my voluptuous melanated skin with the generic strawberry scented soap that was present. Standing in the water for a few minutes, I deeply experienced the flow on my head, through my hair, cascading down my face, 36D breasts, round ass, and down my legs.
Fresh out of the bathroom, I dried my body and pulled on a pair of burgundy colored panties that just barely covered my ass cheeks. My outfit of choice was a simple black off the shoulder dress that accentuated my breasts whilst not requiring me to wear a bra. It then flowed freely from my waist to midway down my thighs. I styled my shoulder length hair into a small low bun at the nape of my neck, and fastened the laces of cream-colored sandals, laces reaching below my knees.
As I exited the bedroom, I was Jora standing in the kitchen kick starting her night with a vodka shot. Her long wavy hair bounced at her shoulders accompanied by a pair of feathered earrings. She adorned her petite lips with red matted lipstick and wore a tight-fitting, sleeveless, bright yellow, floral printed jumpsuit and a pair of black heels. We shared an excited hug, turned up the music, and waited for persons to arrive.
Of the 26 invited persons, I only knew 5 of them. The others were all Jora's coworkers and friends that she acquired from daily living. Almost 20minutes had gone by when the first person arrived, and by 10:30pm, the house was full and about 11 cars lined the driveway and street.
Lively laughter and gleeful voices filled the house accompanied by the moderately loud part music. It was a magical night; even some of the neighbors came over to celebrate. There were people in the house sitting on chairs and the floor, in the driveway, and in the backyard. All interacting with each other and most of them heavily drinking.
For a moment, the party stopped to take the chance to sing, wishing Jora a happy birthday before the conversations and dancing resumed.
