I stood in front of the mirror, surveying my outfit for the night.
Butterflies ran rampant in my stomach. I never did this sort of thing.
My husband was away on a 2-day business trip. I didn't get out of the house too much without him, but my best friend Josephine had convinced me to try out a new club in town.
I had been married to Darrell, my caring husband, for 19 years. We were high school sweethearts and loved each other from the moment we met. But our marriage had grown a little stale ever since we found out he was infertile. My strict Catholic upbringing prevented me from separating (keeping up appearances, and such) and honestly I didn't really want to anyway. Darrell was very nice and a good guy, but just a little plain. So moments like tonight where I got to let my hair down and have fun were few and far between.
In all honesty, I hadn't been extremely receptive to Josephine's plan. When I hung out with fellow wives, it was usually either for upscale bruncheons or drinks at nice bars. Never clubbing.
Josephine was much more adventurous than me. She was always up for trying new things or "living life to the fullest" as she framed it. I was much safer in my comfort zone, and clubs were not included. Even though I was only 39, I was already nostalgic for things far from EDM and grinding.
And yet, here I was. I took a deep breath and surveyed the outfit I had picked out. It was a purple dress that came down to my knees. It was much tighter than I normally wore, hugging my natural curves. It still remained conservative enough to my standards, showing no cleavage.
I had on a pair of black ankle-strap kitty heels, cotton panties, and a matching push-up bra. My D cup boobs were quite large and still pretty firm and round for my age, but the bra definitely took away any of the little sag that existed. I would have liked to be in pantyhose, but Josephine convinced, nay, instructed me to go bare and show off my legs.
My long brown hair was straightened, and I did my makeup a little more stylish than I ordinarily would have, with more mascara, eyeliner, and brighter lipstick. I was looking quite sexy, and feeling it too, something I hadn't experienced in a while. Maybe I would even finger myself when I got back. I only masturbated when I was feeling really horny.
Ready for a night on the town, I drove to the club to meet up with Josephine. I got to the place, paid the cover and went inside. The excruciatingly loud bass made the whole building seem to vibrate, but a few glasses of wine or maybe some margaritas would make it tolerable.
I went up to the bar and ordered a glass of red wine, which seemed to take the young bartender by surprise, although he complied. I sat waiting for Josephine for a few minutes, wondering where she was.
My cell phone buzzed after a while with an incoming call. It was Josephine.
"Hey, what's up? Where are you?" I asked.
"Listen, Kelly, I am so sorry to have to do this to you but on my way out the door, my boss called and reminded me about a project which I had totally forgotten to do, and it needs to be done tonight. I'll work as fast as I can, but I think I've got to cancel," she explained.
"Oh my gosh, that sucks! I totally understand. Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Not at the moment. Hey, it sounds like you're already there. Just have fun tonight. I don't want you to go right back home and read a trashy romance novel. That's how you can help me, by letting loose. I've got to go though. I'll call you later if I can still make it."
"Bye, Josie."
"Bye, Kelly. Remember. Have fun!"
She hung up.
I let out a loud exhale. Well, that was unfortunate. I tucked my phone into my large wallet and, counter to her instructions, decided to head home. And at that moment, my drink arrived.
Well, now I had to stay, if only to finish the glass of wine.
I stood by myself for a while at the bar, sipping my wine. Some of the songs that came on weren't actually too bad, and I watched the crowd of people dance.
After I finished up my glass of wine, a late-90s pop song came on. I couldn't remember it, but I recognized it, and it gave me enough incentive to actually go out and dance. I let loose for half an hour, actually enjoying myself for the first time in a while. I found myself pleasantly surprised.
I sidled back to the bar when I got tired and ordered myself a martini. I grabbed my wallet, but the bartender stopped me.
"It's free, ma'am. That group over there paid for your tab."
He indicated with a nod, and I swiveled around to look. It was a group of 5 men at a booth, who noticed I was now staring at them. One made a motion with his hands, signaling for me to come over.
My heart fluttered. Sometimes a girl has to be reassured that she's sexy and alluring, and this was my confirmation. I grabbed my drink and headed over to the table. I just planned to laugh and chat. I would never think of doing anything else.
Two of the men got out of the booth and beckoned me to move right into the middle. I giggled nervously and sat down. I got my first good look at the men. There were 2 black men, one Hispanic or possibly Sicilian, and two Caucasians. They all looked to be early-to-mid 30s, all quite ruggedly handsome and big.
"Any reason such a fine lady as yourself would be here alone? Stood up?" one of the men said.
"Haha, well a friend was supposed to meet me here, but she had to cancel."
"Oh no, what a shame. We figured we might as well offer you some company, since you looked a little lonely. What's your name?"
"Kelly," I answered, and then almost immediately wondered if I should have used a fake name.
I gulped down my martini, almost in one sip. I was super nervous. But it was just talking, I reassured myself. There was nothing to be nervous about.
"Let's get you another one of those," the Hispanic man said and signaled to the bartender.
We began chatting as I sipped on another glass of alcohol.
