“Hey, honey do I look OK?” Her husband Ramiro asked, not even giving his wife a second look. He was wearing a dark blue long sleeved button up dress shirt with a pair of jeans and Italian shoes.
“Yes baby, you know you look great in anything,” Alex said looking him over. She was not lying. Ramiro actually did look great and yeah, he always looked great. That drove Alex up the wall. Whenever she would go to her husbands work place she always noticed all the pretty young girls going out of their way to flirt with him. Hell, even the older ladies liked to flirt with Ramiro.
Alex thought most of the time he encouraged it. He always dressed nice every time he went out of the house, and sprayed on his sexy smelling cologne. He was proud of his Hispanic culture and everyone loved that about him. Why shouldn't’t all the girls love her husband, he was gorgeous, with short black hair, which he always spiked up. The girls always raved about his pretty hazel eyes, and who could resist his sexy smile and rich tan skin. Ramiro wasn’t a very tall man and he only weighed 190 pounds, but didn't’t have and ounce of fat on him. It was all muscle.
Alex on the other hand was white. She had Irish blood running through her veins but that’s just about all she knew about her origin. She had flaming red hair that was cut up to her neck, entrancing green eyes and a dazzling smile. Alex had a very petite body. She was 5 feet tall and she weighed only 120 pounds. Her best feature were her 36 C sized breasts. She took a lot of pride in those beautiful things. But her heart was the most beautiful thing about her.
Alex pretty much ran down the stairs of her home putting on her silver star earrings as she did so. She really didn't’t want to be late for this party. She bumped into her husband on the way and asked him, “Now do I look OK?”
Ramiro looked her up and down and grabbed her hand trying to pull her back up the stairs. “Come on baby, just a quickie, please,” he said half joking.
“Hell no!” Alex chuckled as she yanked her hand. “We gotta be at this thing in like 15 minutes and I do not want to screw up my hair or make up." She gave her husband a quick kiss before heading back down the stairs. When she got down she noticed Ramiro was not behind her. “Come on Ramiro! How come you're dragging ass?” she yelled up the stairs.
“I’ll be right down, I just gotta grab something,” she heard her husband yell.
Alex grabbed her bag and the keys which were on the kitchen counter and headed out the door leading to the garage. She hopped in her small red car and started the engine. She pulled down the visor so she could check herself once again in the mirror. She looked and she put a small piece of hair back into place and then she put the visor up. She heard her husband opening the car door. “
"What did you have to grab babe?” Alex asked curiously.
“Nothing important, now lets get going before we are late,” Ramiro told his wife as he buckled himself up.
Alex looked in her mirror as she backed out of the garage and said, “If we are late it will be because of you!”
Within 5 minutes Alex and her husband found the hall parked and went inside. They were one of the first to arrive to the party. The hall was decorated in Christmas fashion. Together they walked to a nearby table and seated themselves. Ramiro got up and looked at Alex. “I’m going to go talk to the boss for a second OK?” he asked.
“Yeah I’ll be fine,” she assured her husband. She watched him walked over to his boss and start a conversation with him. Then both of the men walked towards the kitchen. Alex guessed they were probably grabbing a beer.
“Hey Alex!” an accented voice behind her exclaimed.
Alex turned around to see the man she had gotten all dressed up for, her husband’s best friend, Luis. “Hey Luis. How are you?” she asked as she stood up to give him a hug. They broke apart and looked at each other for a second.
Luis gave her a smile and said, “I’m fine, just trying to get through this holiday season.” He laughed a little and gave Alex a long once over. “You look great though! Very beautiful,” he said more seriously.
Their little chat was over when Ramiro came strolling over. “Luis!” he yelled out and hugged his friend like they hadn’t seen each other in ages. “Good to see you bro!”
“Good to see you too Ramiro.” He looked at the beer Ramiro was holding and said, “I’m gonna go get a beer, would you like one Alex?” Luis asked politely.
“That would be great Luis. Thank you,” Alex replied back.
Within seconds Luis was back with two beers in his hands. He handed one to Alex and raised his bottle. Ramiro and his wife raised their bottles as well. Luis said, “Here’s to one hell of a party!”
“Hell yeah!” Alex cried out in excitement as she raised her beer for a sip.
Two hours and 4 or 5 beers later the party had already began and so did the music. The three friends were highly buzzed off the alcohol and talking about their lives. “Hold on, hold on,” Luis said already slurring his words. “ I’m gonna go get a bottle of tequila and some shot glasses.”
He came back a minute later with a small bottle of good tequila and three shot glasses. Ramiro shook his head and said, “Nope. No tequila for me. I’ll stick to beer.”
Luis smiled and started pouring a shot. “How about you Alex? Want a shot?” he asked with a pleading look in his eyes.
Alex started to shake her head no but she couldn't’t resist that pleading accent of his. “Sure I’ll do a couple with you,” she said.
A couple of shots turned into four each. By that time both Luis and Alex were more than a little buzzed. Ramiro was a little drunk too with all the beer he’d been drinking. He got up quickly and reported, “I have to go take a piss, I’ll be back in second.”
“Hey wait up!” Luis said as he followed after Ramiro.
“God they are just like a couple of girls, going to the bathroom together,” Alex laughed to herself. She poured herself another shot of tequila and downed it. She sat there soaking up the music closing her eyes she thought of Luis. She had liked him ever since she and her husband met. Ramiro had just got to her first. Don’t get her wrong, she loved her husband, but she had a feeling she would have probably loved Luis more.
Luis was a handsome man. With the same jet black hair as Ramiro’s, except for his was a bit longer. He wore it in a spiky style just like Ramiro too. He had sexy green eyes and full lips. Although not a very tall guy he was only 175 pounds. He was very well built also. Alex knew this because he worked out with her husband everyday.
Her thoughts were interrupted as the two men came back and seated themselves. All three of them watched as different couples gathered to the dance floor and started dancing to the Mexican style music. Luis looked at Ramiro and asked, “You’re not gonna take your girl out to dance dude?”
“No, she knows I don’t dance!” Ramiro said glancing at Alex.
Luis got up and asked again “Well do you mind if I ask her to dance?” He smiled and winked at Alex and said, “That is of course if she will have me.”
Ramiro looked at his wife and shrugged. “Sure it’s fine with me if it’s cool with her,” he said taking a swig of his beer.
“I’d love to!” Alex squealed. She loved dancing to this type of music but her husband never wanted to dance with her.
Luis took her hand and led her to the dance floor and the two started moving to the rythym to the music. Luis took Alex in his arms tightly and danced how everyone else was dancing which was very close together. Alex looked over to where her husband was sitting but all she saw were the empty beer bottles and shot glasses. She looked around for him as Luis held her tightly.
A couple songs later her and Luis were still dancing and Alex was having a great time, but she still couldn't’t spot Ramiro in the big crowd of people. Finally she saw the his dark blue shirt next to the far wall, she saw his back was turned to her. She could also see Ramiro was talking to a young and pretty Latina girl who was leaning against the wall and her husband’s arm was outstretched leaning against the wall. It looked like him and the girl were having a very private conversation.
Luis spun them around and held on to Alex more tightly placing his hands just above her firm ass. He turned her around again just in time for her to see her husband following the young woman he was just talking to. He followed her hand in hand up behind the small stage that was there, but the curtain was down so Alex could see no more as the two disappeared. Her heart felt crunched up at the sight of this, she wanted to see what was going on but didn't’t want to be nosy.
Alex and her dancing partner danced to one more song. Until she told Luis that she needed some air. She kissed Luis on the cheek and thank him for dancing with her. She walked quickly out of the crowded building keeping an eye out for her husband. She saw no sign of him when she walked out the door.
Alex stepped outside and took a deep breath of fresh cold air. She shivered as she felt the wind blow on her sweaty body. She started walking to get some air and to stop her head from spinning. She hadn’t walked far when she heard footsteps coming up behind her. She felt strong arms wrap around her tiny waist. She turned around expecting to see Ramiro.
“Hey, I came out here to see if you were OK. Are you?” she heard Luis asked.
Alex stepped back a little from Luis’s grasp. “I’m fine Luis, just a little hot.”
Luis stepped towards her put his hands back on her waist pulled her close and met her lips for a kiss. As soon as Alex’s lips met Luis’s she jumped back again. “I can’t be doing this Luis. You know we can’t do this,” she said, her head starting to spin again.
“Look,” Luis said pulling her back to him, “you think your husband is not doing the same with that girl behind the stage? Shit he’s probably back there doing more. When we were in the bathroom he showed me the condom he was going to use on her.” He looked at Alex’s confused face. “He’s been planning this with Mayela for weeks,” he said quietly.
“What the fuck are you talking about Luis? It’s not right to lie,” Alex said turning to go back in.
Luis jumped in front of her blocking her way with his arm. “Alex, have I ever lied to you?” he demanded to know. “I’m going to tell you something I should have told you before you and Ramiro married,” Luis said as he took Alex’s hands in his. “I love you Alexia Bernard. I always have.”
Alex’s face lighted up in surprise. She knew she felt the same way and she wanted to tell him but she knew was a little drunk and didn't know if he was for real. She didn't care. She stood there for a second not saying anything. Then she took both of her hands to Luis’s face and cupped it. “I love you too,” she whispered.
Luis then grabbed Alex and pulled her closer to him and kissed her deeply. Alex gave out a moan of reluctance and tried to pull away but after a few seconds she gave in and returned his kiss. Luis opened his mouth partially and pushed his tongue in her mouth caressing her tongue with his. They kissed like that for what seemed like hours to them.
Alex broke the kiss and said “We should probably be getting back to the party don’t you think?” She grabbed Luis’s hand and smiled. They walked hand in hand to the entrance of the hall.
