He stood there with a drink in his hand, scoping out the place. He didn't wanna come to this party. His friend dragged him there. It was their office party. The room was filled with pretentious laughter and chit-chat. He was bored. Then he saw her.
She was about 35 years old. She wasn't hot like a model but was thick and curvy. Her bosoms bulged out as if her red top couldn't hold it in. Her ass was swinging as she moved. She was showing off.
She noticed his stares and gave him a flirty smile inviting him with her eyes. He gulped his drink and slowly moved towards her. Suddenly a man appeared to some people and introduced her as his wife. He made a few jokes about her, everyone laughed. She laughed too but her humiliation was not well hidden. When the man walked away with his party she looked at him with resentment. Then turned her attention towards him, who was already standing next to her.
"Hi," he said.
"Hey"
"I'm Ashik. What's your name miss?"
"I'm Shobha. Huh, you must be the new guy" she replied with a smile.
"No Shoba, that's not me, it's my friend. I'm actually here to give him some company."
"And for the free booze" he added raising his glass jokingly
They laughed and talked for some time. He told her that he was an actor and does theatre pieces and adds. She explained it him how boring it was to be the wife of Ashiks's friend's boss. It wasn't Ashik's first rodeo. He knew her type. Rich husband, bored and flirty. He was sure that she was all talk and no guts. She is easy, but it's gonna take some time. It could go sideways and blow up on his face. He decided to give it a go. The party eventually ended and they exchanged numbers.
He initiated the texting and soon they were texting each other by the minute. He got close to her, talked about her issues with her husband and became her confidant. The time to cash out was nearing.
A month later, another party came up and this time Ashik was personally invited by Shobha. Her husband didn't even notice him as he was busy entertaining his guests. He talked with her, gave her company while her husband was elsewhere.
Amidst the party, he decided that it was time to reveal his intentions. He was fed up with the games and decided to take his chance. He drank some more and on the newly acquired courage, he told her-
"Shobha, you are so beautiful. Why do you still hang around with someone who doesn't appreciate you?"
She was stumped but the direct complement created a smile on her which she couldn't hide.
"What are you saying Ashik... I'm his wife... I can't think like that. I have to be with him. That's the rules. Moreover, who would want me now... I'm old" she said hoping for further complements.
