I'm sure anyone who hears the story of meeting my girlfriend at an orgy probably thinks we won't last long. Girls who attend orgies would be considered either sluts by the narrow-minded, or liberal young women exploring their sexuality by others. Guys who attend orgies would be considered legends by most blokes and, well, I don't think they'd really care what women thought because they were at an orgy and probably enjoyed sex with at least one woman...
Truth be told, the party wasn't actually organised as an orgy. It was a university party in the city of Lincoln in the United Kingdom. I was in my second year and attended the party with my then-girlfriend of six months. I called her my girlfriend as we'd been dating that long, and as far as I was concerned, we were monogamous. I knew many of those in attendance at the party and it's where I met my current girlfriend, Monique.
How we came to meet isn't any great tale of falling in love once our eyes met across a crowded room. I was grabbing myself a beer from one of the buckets full of ice in the large kitchen, the party being hosted by one of the well-to-do so the place was a mansion, or so it felt as there were rooms upon rooms over two levels. She asked for a beer as well. A young woman sipping at a can of cheap lager at a university party isn't anything unusual. Lager lasses and lager lads were part and parcel of the university experience.
"Well, you've got a choice of Stella, Kronenberg, Carling..."
"Jesus, I miss going to the pub with my dad and getting at least something half decent on tap," she stated, "But beggars can't be choosers. I'll have a Stella, please."
"Not Carling?"
"If I want to drink cat's piss, I'll find a cute little pussy cat nearby."
Grabbing a can of Magners cider for myself, I stood up and turned to the voice. It wasn't love at first sight. I thought she was cute, with curly brown hair, blue eyes behind thin-framed glasses, a lovely curvy figure and a great pair of pins, greeting me with a smile, taking the can from my right hand before offering hers. "I'm Monique."
"Mark. Nice to meet you."
"Here with anyone?"
"Yeah, my girlfriend, Abigail. Not sure where she is. Probably off enjoying herself though. She likes a drink or ten."
"Ah, she's taking in the full university experience?"
"I've nursed her through more than one horrendous hangover. Not saying I don't enjoy myself on the occasional night out, but I want to graduate on time and start working."
"And she..."
"I'll be surprised if she graduates within a five-year time frame. What about you?"
"I'm here with my... Well, he's a friend, we might sleep together, but I wouldn't call him a boyfriend. I hate the term 'friend with benefits'. I mean, if you have sex, there's usually going to be feelings. At least with me..." She sipped at her drink and then laughed to herself. "And within two minutes, I've mentioned sex. God, Monique, can't help yourself, can you?"
"Well, I'm guessing there's going to be sex tonight. I'm fairly sure some of the rooms have already been turned into sex dens."
"So why are you here and not with Abigail?"
"I'm just relaxing for the moment. I work hard during the week, and while I like to unwind, I look around and see the carnage about to unfold. I'd rather have my wits about me."
"Me too. I'm fairly sure my date has already consumed enough alcohol that he'll be comatose by midnight if he keeps going."
"Not going to watch him?"
Shrugging, she took a sip of her drink first. "I'm not his babysitter."
"Ah, I'm guessing you won't be going home with him."
"I don't think I'll be seeing him again after tonight, at least in the personal sense. He pretty much abandoned me after walking through the front door."
"Yep, same here. Walked through the door. Cue lots of screaming and god knows what they were saying when she met with some of her friends. You can take the girl out of Liverpool..."
"She's a Scouser?"
"Yeah... I'm guessing you're Birmingham way?"
"Good ear. And your accent is dull and boring so must be from the south?"
"Near Reading. And thanks for saying I'm boring."
