The day's frustration was to much to handle, so when Julie, Mandy's best friend from high school days called and suggested a night out, Mandy quickly accepted her offer. Leaving the husband at home to watch the kids, she climbed into Julie's car and waved goodbye to the house and the source of her frustrations. "I'm going to stay at Julie's tonight so don't wait up for me."
"So, where are we going?" Mandy asked Julie as she slammed the door of the car.
"I thought we'd just go bar hopping and see what's out there." she replied. Julie was an experienced drinker so Mandy wasn't too worried about her having a drink or two and driving. "I know this place you'll love." Julie continued. "They have a band tonight and the place will be crawling with good looking men." she laughed.
"Yeah, well, I've got enough troubles with men." Mandy retorted.
Julie parked the car in front of the bar she'd selected as the starting point as Mandy quickly noticed the glow of the neon sign, "Slow And Hard" was the name of it.
"Damn, what kind of place is this?" she wondered walking up to the door. Mandy couldn't help but notice all the men walking in and out of the place. On average, mid-30s, mostly tell taken care of by the shape and size of them.
Mandy followed Julie to a table close to the dance floor and Julie ordered drinks for both of them. "Two Double Jacks and two beers" she said to the waitress, who scurried off to fetch the drinks.
"Damn, are you trying to get me drunk?" Mandy asked quickly.
"Maybe." was the response you heard as she started laughing. "Just relax and enjoy yourself tonight. No worries!"
Once the drinks arrived Julie proposed a toast "To Fuck With Men!" she said and downed her first shot of Jack, following immediately pouring half of a glass of beer down her throat. Mandy looked a bit shocked as Julie said "C'mon, drink up!"
Mandy grabbed her glass of Jack and started to sip it.
Julie then practically ordered, "Fuck that, drink the damn thing!"
Mandy tipped the glass back up and in one swallow downed the hard liquor. She felt it burning down her throat to her stomach,
"Oh shit." she thought as she grabbed her beer and started to take a big drink of that as well.
"That's better." Julie said with a laugh, reaching for her second shot of Jack. "This one is for all the fun we can handle tonight." she said, and downed her second shot. Mandy immediately followed her lead and before long was well on her way to getting drunk.
"The good looking men will be soon Mandy, the band starts at 9:00." Julie said looking around the room. "I hope you like to dance."
"Yeah," replied Mandy, "I love to dance." Two beers later Mandy heard the band start to play their first song. It was a fast one that reminded her that she hadn't danced in quite a while.
"C'mon Mandy, let's get this party started." Julie said, grabbing Mandy's hand and taking her to the dance floor.
The two of them began dancing with each other on the dance floor and were soon joined by two nice looking men asking if they would mind.
"Hell no, it's about time!" Julie stated, turning towards the blonde young man.
As they started to dance Mandy noticed that Doug, (Julie's partner) seemed to know his way around the floor very well. Mandy saw the muscles straining under his shirt sleeves as she forced herself to take her eyes from him and turned towards her new dance partner. She actually felt a bit jealous of her friend because the man who had asked her to dance was good looking enough, but really didn't know how to dance very well.
Mark, as she found out his name, also was about 6 foot tall, attractive, but without the well-defined features that Julie's new friend had. "Oh well, it's not like I'm gonna fuck him anyway." she thought to herself and finished the dance.
Walking back to the table, Doug and Mark followed them. "Mind if we sit with you two beautiful ladies?" Doug asked.
"Not at all, but we're not planning on staying long." Mandy told them.
"That's okay, neither are we." Doug replied with a slight smile that went right through Mandy.
Mark called the waitress over and ordered drinks for the entire table. Once again Mandy found herself with Jack shooters and beer chasers. Every so often the guys would take the girls back to the dance floor and they would dance one song, then (much to Mandy's delight) switch partners. On one such switch she found herself dancing with Doug as a slow song started. Doug pulled her close to him gently and started to sway with the music.
