MID DAY
It's an abnormally warm Halloween day. Keysha decides to take the day off because she wants to take her son trick and treating. She wants to go in the early afternoon, so she can drop him off at his father's house. He's going to a child's party that evening. While father and son spends quality time together, she'll be at a party herself. A masquerade party. A small gathering of people from a website she joined a year ago. They hold special events and parties. This will be her first party since joining. She's excited as she already knows what she's going to wear for this event. She goes to the closet. Inside, is a trunk. She pulls it out and opens it. She searches through piles of neatly folded clothes until she finds it. She pulls out a Victorian style Gothic dress. She lays it across her bed and stares at it. Her fingers lightly running over the satin material. She had this dress for three years. She wonders if she could still fit it. She starts putting it on. As she pulls the dress down over her huge breasts, her phone rings.
"Crap!" she calls out as she searches for her phone.
By the third ring, she's able to answer her phone.
"Hello," she answers breathlessly.
"Keysha, are you alright?" Scott asks.
Panic in his voice.
"Hey Scott! I'm fine. I was in the middle of doing something. What's up?"
"I was checking to see how you're doing," he says.
"I'm doing alright. Just getting myself ready to take my son out. Is everything alright? You need anything?"
"No, no everything is fine. I just want to say hello. I miss you," he confesses.
She smiles.
"I miss you too. I'll see you at work," she tells him.
There's silence. He wants to go to her place or she comes to his, but says nothing as he clears his throat.
"Alright, I'll let you go get ready. I would like to see pictures," he says.
"I'll text them to you. Enjoy your day," she says as she ends the conversation.
Scott stares at his phone wishing he's with her right now. He places it down and continues with his work. Seconds later, an alert goes off on his phone. He grabs it. He receives a reminder about tonight's event. The masquerade party. He smiles as he remembers his Devil's costume.
"I can't wait!" he whispers to himself.
It'll be his way to get Keysha off his mind. Maybe, he'll meet a sexy thick girl there. He sends himself a reminder to buy condoms.
EVENING
Scott enters the lobby of the building. His half devil's mask on his face. The top half of his face down to his nose is cover. He reaches the front desk. Two women greets him with a smile. The tall and slim woman wearing a half lioness mask smiles brightly. The other woman is short and very curvy wearing a half tiger mask. Both are wearing short and tight tube dresses.
"Welcome to the Masquerade Party sponsor by PH.com," the lioness greets.
"I'm your host. Please enjoy yourself," she adds.
Scott smiles at them, but he focuses on the tigress. He wants her. She reminds him of Keysha. He walks further into the hall to double doors. A doorman holds one of the doors open for him. As soon as it opens, music is playing. He heads in and walks straight to the bar. He orders a tall glass of rum and coke. He gives the bartender, a man with a Phantom of the Opera mask on, the money.
"Keep the change," he tells him.
The man smiles and thanks him. Scott sits in the corner and takes sips of his drink while watching people mingle. There's a long narrow hallway towards the back. Doors on the left and right of it. He wonders if he will use one of the many rooms back there. While he thinks about that, Keysha walks in as she gets to the front desk. The two women smile and greet her like every patron before her. The only difference, the women gets a bracelet. This bracelet is for unlimited free drinks. Keysha stares at it and smiles. The doorman holds the door open for her as walks through it. She goes to the bar first.
"Have fun beautiful," the doorman says.
"Thank you. Hopefully, I will," she replies.
Scott hears a voice that sounds familiar to him. He leans over the table to see who's coming in. A thick woman walks in wearing a blue satin dress. It hugs her body perfectly.
"Damn, she's sexy as Hell!"
He tilts his head to the side as her walk looks familiar to him. She walks just like Keysha, he thinks. He shakes his head at the thought. It can't be! He wants to deny it so much, but he feels a connection with this woman. Then the scent of her perfume invades the room.
