The taxi drew up in front of her home and Cheryl tried to conceal her grimace at the sight of her lit up mansion. As the vehicle came to a stop she also tried to hide her annoyance as she turned to her 'friend' Sarah beside her on the back seat of the taxi. Friend being a very misleading description for their relationship as there was little love lost between the two young women (both in their early twenties). However, it served both their ends to be seen out together as being such high profile beauties (brunette Cheryl the wife of a high profile Gridiron star, and blonde Sarah a well known model) their chances of being photographed by the eager paparazzi was doubled when they hit the clubs together. Really it was a friendship of convenience that was easily ignored away from the glare of the camera lens.
"Are you sure you'll be alright Sarah, I could come back with you."
"No, no Cheryl it's fine really, your house is first, there's no point coming back to mine when I feel like this."
Sarah made pained face and felt at her stomach and Cheryl wasted no further time skipping out of the car and starting up the path to her house. It was lit up so her husband must be home. Oh joy, she thought. She had been looking forward to her Friday night out all week, even it was to be in the presence of that airhead Sarah. She smiled at the thought of the blonde reaching for the gut and rushing to the toilets in the club they had started in and her coming back ten minutes later, looking very sheepish and asking to go home.
"Oh well wasn't all bad news, I suppose" she sneered to herself as she searched her designer handbag for her front door key.
Cheryl enjoyed being a minor celebrity and living off the sporting efforts of Ashley, her husband. But having to live with him was bad, he was just such a jerk, especially when he was lucky enough to have such a hot wife as her, she thought. Of course, she was partly right in that, indeed, Cheryl was hot. A fitter girl you could not hope to meet, with lovely, shapely breasts and a firm, rounded ass. Her face though, really, was her best feature. Sparkling green eyes, the perfect complexion and even more perfect white teeth in her dazzling smile and just the best kept and maintained light brown hair that you could imagine. Of course, all that was offset by a nasty attitude, a bitchy jealousy and a demanding, possessive manner that pushed most around her to the limits. Her marriage was in many ways a sham, one that suited both sides, for her the celebrity lifestyle and for him the perfect doll wife. They had got together in the full glare of the watching media and Cheryl was already anticipating even more into the headlines as she became more and more recognisable.
In the hall it soon became clear Ashley wasn't about downstairs, there was only one room with lights and he wasn't there, shrugging off her real fur coat and dumping her handbag she hauled herself up the staircase towards music floating gently towards her. She walked to their bedroom and opened it to be faced with the sight of Ashley, naked, on hands and knees on their bed being roughly fucked from behind by his friend and team-mate Terrell. By the sounds he was making and the look on Ashley's face he was more than enjoying it.
Neither noticed Cheryl and she stood dazed for a moment and reeled backwards against the frame of the door in shock. She put her hand to her mouth and came close to shouting out but didn't, she stumbled away from the room, aware neither man had seen her and somehow found her way down the stairs. She lifted her jacket and bag and exited the house without thinking clearly. What had she just seen? How could this be happening? How could Ashley do this to her? He had known she would be out all night (usually until well into the wee small hours). Her mind reeled with questions. What did this mean? What would be the fallout if this became public? Would it benefit her or not? Would it disgrace her? She really didn't know what she was doing and almost fell into her sports car and took off to god knows where.
God knows where turned out to be a bar a few miles down the road. Cheryl was still totally confused and driving about hadn't made things any clearer, maybe having a few drinks would. She certainly drew a few admiring glances and appreciative stares as she entered the bar, it was to be expected with her glammed up for a night out in the glittery night life of the city in her fur coat and tight, white mini-dress that revealed so much. But before she hooked up with Ashley this was the type of joint she hung around in, even waited tables in before making a name for herself on a reality TV show. Well tonight she was just plain old Cheryl again, not the celebrity just a girl looking to drink her problems away. She ordered a cocktail and thought more on those problems, yeah sure their sex life was nothing spectacular but gay! He was a fag! Jesus! She might always be remembered as the woman that turned a jock like him gay! What a horrible thought. Still as she downed the drink and ordered another maybe this would give her all kinds of power, no way would he want this to get out, no way. She could literally write the cheques for herself from here on in.
Cheryl hardly nursed her drinks as they came, downing them quickly and wasting little time ordering another. She was on her fourth when she became aware of someone sitting next to her and making no secret of studying her. She swung around on her stool aggressively, in the mood to fall out with somebody, anybody, to be met by a very striking, coloured man. He gave her a big smile that threw her tirade off course before it had even started. He was tall, very good looking, immaculately dressed and holding a glass of the cocktail she had been downing so readily.
"Another Madam?" he asked in a very cultured voice.
Torn between being attracted to him and telling him to 'fuck off' she hesitated and allowed herself to take the glass and appraise him further. He was a few years older than her and reeked of class and money as he reached over to pick up his own glass and coolly sip from it, his eyes never leaving hers as he did so.
"You'll excuse me for saying so but a beautiful woman like you should never have to drink alone so I took it upon myself to join you. I do hope that is okay with you?"
