Jane sighed heavily as she contemplated the day ahead of her. She hated the routine of her life. Each day seemed no different than the last. She drank her coffee and remembered her younger days and how they were filled with excitement and adventure. Now she longed for anything that would break the awful rut she was in.
A horn honked outside. Suzan was outside waiting for her. Jane finished her coffee and headed outside to catch her ride to work. Jane sighed again as she got in Suzan's car.
Susan said smiling. "What's up your butt?"
"Oh, nothing. I just get tired of the ,same shit different day, routine my life has become." Jane said sounding disappointed.
"Well to change your routine, you have to do something different. Anything! You need to come to the party with me tonight." Suzan said. "It will be a blast. All that young meat running around in sexy costumes. Who knows you might get lucky."
"The last thing I need is a man in my life. I'm way to busy for that. Besides I have John to think about. He would never forgive me if I dishonor his dad that way." Jane said.
"Oh come on. We're not talking about a live in. We're talking one night only. You have to be lonely, if not horny. When was the last time you were with a man?" Suzan asked insensitively. Then she saw the look on her friends face. She regretted ever saying it.
"Oh sweetheart I didn't realize that he was the last man you had been with. I am so sorry. I just assumed that in twelve years you would have been with someone." Suzan said feeling like a heel.
Jane said. "Don't worry about it. You couldn't have known. I probably should have gotten over it and moved on by now. I just put everything into raising John and time just got away from me. I might come with you tonight. It may do me some good. Just promise you won't ditch me the second we arrive. I haven't been out in a long time and I'll need you right by me for support. Do you promise?"
"I swear on all that is holy. I will hold your hand all night if that's what it takes to get you to go." Suzan said smiling.
At lunch Suzan told Jane she had a plan to get them out of work early and they would have good excuses for Friday. Jane asked, "What are you going to do?"
Suzan just winked and smiled a wicked smile, then said, "I've already done it. Don't you trust me?"
Jane went back to her desk worried about what her friend had done. No sooner than the two sat down they both became violently ill. Both women hurled into their waste baskets. Jane gave Suzan a look that could have killed. She couldn't believe her friend would do that just to get out of work early.
Once they were in Suzan's car Jane punched her friend in the arm hard.
"Ow! That hurt! You'll thank me for getting us off the hook for Friday when you're hungover tomorrow." Suzan said cheerfully.
"You could have warned me you bitch! I just threw up my toenails! Jesus, tell someone your plan next time. Anyway why did we need to ditch out of work early today? I might need the hours you know." Jane said slightly irritated.
"We have to get our costumes, duh." Suzan said.
"Where are we going to get them?" Jane asked.
"You'll see." Suzan said.
Soon after Suzan wheeled into the adult store.
"I can't believe we're getting our costumes here. Just what kind of party are we going to?" Jane asked.
"The fun kind." Said Suzan. "Come on it'll be fine." Then she hopped out of the car and headed in. With little or no choice Jane followed her friend.
Jane was quite overwhelmed by all that she saw inside the adult store. She had never ventured inside one before. It was a bit much for her to take in. She whispered to Suzan, "Are you sure about this?"
Suzan said out loud, " This isn't a fucking library, you don't have to whisper. Of course I'm sure. Where else are we going to get break away costumes?"
"Excuse me? Did you just say, break away costumes?!" Jane said alarmed.
"Yes I said break away costumes. You know for the big reveal. Just before all the ladies draw keys. We all, men included, rip away the important parts of their costumes to show everyone what they have to offer." Suzan said.
The clerk overheard the conversation the two were having and she said. "Oh you two are going to they key party tonight at the rental hall. I wish I was going but I'll be here waiting on the guys that strike out." She said somewhat forlornly.
Jane said. "I didn't know just what kind of party it was going to be. I am having second thoughts about going now."
Suzan went into full panic mode. "Jane you can't back out on me now! I just can't go without my wingman. Please, please, please say you'll go. It won't be the same without you. Besides I just found the cutest costume for you." Then Suzan held up a very shiny patent leather Cat Woman costume.
"Oh, alright I'll go, against my better judgement albeit." Jane said reluctantly.
"Good, that settled, try it on." Suzan said handing her friend the costume.
In no time Jane called from behind the curtain. "Um, Suzan could you come help me? I can't seem to figure out how this thing works."
The clerk interjected, "I better go. I have become kind of an expert over the past few days."
They both went. In short order the clerk had Jane sorted out. She explained that for the party she shouldn't wear any panties or a bra. That way when the time came she could tear away the crotch and the entire ass and the part of the costume covering her boobs. Jane was amazed at how matter of fact the young lady was about the whole thing.
Jane asked, "Have you ever been to one of these parties?"
"Sure lots of them, why do you ask?" The younger woman said.
