My 21
st
Birthday
I made it! I'm 21 years old today!
I've been looking forward to this birthday for a long time, but I think my college girlfriends were more excited about it than me. It was Saturday evening, we had just finished mid-terms, and everyone was ready to blow off some steam and have fun. My birthday just gave us an excuse to make it a bigger party night than usual.
I had just showered and was getting dressed as my roommate Cathy finished her shower. The knock on the door told me we were running late. I opened it to see three of our friends all smiling and ready to go. Tammy said, "Well at least your ready Marissa, but we knew Cathy would be late, as usual." Cathy picked that moment to come sauntering naked out of the bathroom, but all she did was turn around and motion the others to kiss her ass.
Tammy, Sonia and Rebecca, or 'Becks', came spilling into the room and headed straight for the fridge to grab beers and wine coolers. Technically we weren't supposed to have them here, but the rules were held pretty lax around the student quarters, especially for the upper classmen.
Sonia said, "So Marissa, what do you want to do tonight to celebrate your big two-one?"
I was looking at myself in the mirror for a final check. I didn't get too dressed up because we usually just went to the local bars and danced and drank, but since today was my birthday I decided to go just a little sexier than usual. I was wearing a light sleeveless dress because it was so hot, and the skirt rode just above my knees. I wore my blonde hair long and straight tonight.
I replied, almost yelling over the stereo that Becks had just turned on, "Whatever you guys want is fine with me. I figured we would go to Charlie's for some drinks and then maybe The Blue Lizard Lounge for some music and dancing." I looked down. I had picked these tall wedges just for dancing because they were sexy, but still stable. They also added to my already very tall height. I was usually self-conscious about being so much taller than my friends, but tonight I decided to stand out a little.
I turned around to see those three trying to talk quietly, masked by the loud music, and they were snickering. I was about to ask them what they were up to, but just then Cathy came bounding into the room. "Alright girls! Is everyone ready to go out and celebrate my best friends big day?" Everyone seemed excited to get started so they chugged their drinks and we headed out on the town.
The first stop was Charlie's Bar, our usual haunt. The music was loud, but not so loud we couldn't talk over the noise. We grabbed a table near the back and started ordering drinks. The girls were offering me birthday toasts and we had a tequila shot to top it off. I asked Becks how she was able to get away from her boyfriend Dan for the night, and she said, "I just told him that this was our night to have some fun. I also told him not to wait up because we are going to show you a good time tonight!"
The other girls cheered at this and were giving each other knowing looks. I could see they were planning something, but the drinks and the tequila inside me took away any fears I might usually have.
My friends knew me well. We had been close since freshman year and we had learned many of each other's secrets. They knew that I was a pretty shy person, and I didn't date much. I spent most of my time studying, while they were more adventurous, especially Becks. They all dated several guys over the last few years, but nothing too serious. They knew that, although I wasn't a virgin, my experience with guys was pretty limited.
I could count the number of guys that I had actually slept with in my life on two fingers and they were both pretty unspectacular. One was my boyfriend, Tommy, from junior year of high school. We did it just once, in his car, and it lasted about 20 seconds before he had an orgasm.
The second guy, Dave, I dated for a month during my sophomore year at college. I only agreed to sleep with Dave because I wanted to feel more mature and worldly. I will admit that he liked to fuck, and we did it quite a lot, but he was an unimaginative lover. Dave liked for me to give him a blowjob for about five minutes, then we would make love missionary style until he came, then he would go to sleep.
I had yet to feel an orgasm given to me by anyone other than myself. By this point I was resigned to the fact that I was going to have to wait until I got out of college and into the real world to meet some decent men.
After about an hour at Charlie's we decided to go down the street to the dance club, The Lizard Lounge. We were all pretty tipsy as we entered and I could feel the heavy beat of the music pounding in my chest. I loved this place. We had spent many Saturday nights dancing here, and now that I was really 21, I didn't have to sneak by with a fake ID and worry about getting caught.
We had some martinis to start, but then we added a couple more birthday shots: 'sex on the beach' and 'red-headed slut'. It was a lot of alcohol, but we were dancing heavily and sweating the alcohol out. Although I was feeling no pain, I was not stumbling drunk. I was feeling alive and full of energy.
The heavy dance music, the bumping of bodies on the dance floor, the heat, the sweat, all of this was making my body feel fully aroused and ready for anything. I didn't want this night to end and I yelled this sentiment to my friends as I grabbed them all in a group hug and slurred just a little, "I love you guys! You are all the best! I want more! What else can we do?"
