Brandon sat in bed and admired the view he had of Annie in the bathroom. She was standing at the sink, bent over ever so slightly. The old t-shirt of his that Annie had on was riding up, so much so that Brandon could see where her legs met the curve of her cheeks. He smiled, still wrapping his head around the fact that Annie was his girlfriend.
Brandon and Annie, short for Annabelle, had only been dating for two months. They met at a party thrown by a mutual friend. Brandon had just come off a bad breakup with his ex and was in no mood to enter a new relationship. He didn't even want to go out; he was just fed up with dating and one night stands. Yet, his friend persisted. "Dude, come on, you just need one good fuck to whip you back into shape," Devin texted him. "I'm having a party at my place. I invited a shit ton of girls, so you'll have a fantastic selection to choose from." Brandon laughed. Devin was the type of guy who had a new girl lined up for every week. Hell, he sometimes had new girls daily. "Can't help it if I got what the ladies love," he smirked one time when Brandon asked about his multitude of dates.
Brandon was introduced to Devin through work. They both were employed at the same company, where they worked as social media assistants. Brandon and Devin often worked closely together on projects, and became fast friends. Devin lived for the party life and they often were each other's wingman. They frequently went to clubs or barhopped, and New York City provided no shortage of places to go.
It was at one of these clubs that Brandon had first met his current ex, Nicole. It had been a wild night, ending with the two having drunken sex back at Brandon's apartment. Unfortunately, Nicole and Brandon were not looking for the same thing in the relationship. Brandon was wanting an actual relationship, whereas Nicole was looking for just sex. Their failure to communicate this to each other resulted in a rather nasty scene where Brandon learned she was sleeping with other guys on the side while he thought they were exclusive. There had been a lot of shouting and anger, and Brandon swore off dating for a while. Devin, after Brandon had told him that Nicole was cheating on him, replied "Yeah, but the sex was good, right?"
That was the major difference between Brandon and Devin in a nutshell. Devin loved to fuck anything with legs. Brandon wasn't into sleeping around, and prefered the relationship experience. This usually meant that whenever Devin tried to hook up Brandon up with a girl, the girl wound up not really being Brandon's type. Nevertheless, Brandon knew Devin meant well, and respected that they wanted different things. So, when Devin's text came with the invitation, Brandon was skeptical about going. He was tired and didn't feel like socializing or listening to loud music or playing the dating game or even getting dressed. It had been a long week at work in addition to the breakup last weekend.
Brandon texted him back saying "Idk man. Not really feeling it."
"If your symptoms include depression, isolation, and limp dick, you might be ready for pussy. You can trust me, I'm a doctor." Brandon stifled a laugh. He didn't want to go, but he knew Devin wouldn't let him stay home.
"Seriously. Your ass better be here at 10."
Brandon quickly responded with fine, sighed, and looked at his reflection in the bathroom mirror. His piercing blue eyes shot back at him in the mirror as he looked over himself. He had a long, soft face that came to a point at his chin. He had short, wavy, brown hair and some rather rough looking stubble that had taken root in the days since the breakup. Brandon was 25 years old and stood around 6'4", and had definition in his arms and legs that were the result of working out. He qucikly showered off and shaved. As he left his bathroom and went into the bedroom, his mood had improved, yet he still was convincing himself he didn't want to go out. He stood in front of his closet and picked out a pair of jeans and a v-neck tee that showcased his arms. He looked at himself in the mirror one last time, just to make sure nothing was out of place, and then left for the party.
...
Bradon arrived at Devin's apartment building a little past 10:30. When he finally arrived at Devin's apartment, having taken the elevator up to the ninth floor, Brandon could already hear the music thumping from the apartment. Brandon took a deep breath before opening the unlocked door. The apartment was already filled with people; most were dancing in the center room, while others were posted on the walls, either chatting or making out. The place already smelled of alcohol and all the lights were dimmed. Devin had an extremely large and impressive apartment that was mostly paid by his parents, who were loaded, though Devin was careful to never spread that around. He maintained the image that he was affluent enough on his own to afford the apartment. The ultimate bachelor pad, the front door led straight into a wide, open area that had a tiny set of stairs leading down to an open lounge area that was currently doubling as the dancefloor. To the left was the kitchen and bar, and to the right was the living room where people were congregating. Also to the right was a small spiral staircase that led to another tiny lounge room that overlooked the dancefloor. Devin's bedroom, or "loveroom," as he so affectionately called it, was off to the left of the upstairs lounge.
Brandon scanned the rooms, looking for Devin. He was behind the bar, serving drinks to a pair of blonds who were gushing over him and giggling over whatever it was he was talking about. Devin was sharply dressed, and his dirty blond hair was heavily styled. As Devin looked up from the blonds, he saw Brandon and waved him over as he came out from behind the bar. Brandon walked over to him and they embraced in a bro hug.
"Look at you, stud! Glad I could convince you to come out and get your dick wet," Devin shouted over the music as he clapped Brandon's back hard.
Brandon smiled and said "I'm only gonna stick around for a bit, steal some of your booze and then bail."
Devin laughed, wrapped his arm around Brandon's shoulders and dragged him closer to the bar, saying "Well, let me introduce you to some lovely ladies who you can share my booze with." As they approached the dual blonds Devin was flirting with earlier, Devin introduced Brandon. "Brandon, this is Rachel and Michelle. Rachel, Michelle, meet Brandon."
The two blonds turned around and Brandon realized they were twins. They looked Brandon up and down, before one of them whispered in her twin's ear. The second twin started smiling coyly, and they both looked at Brandon and giggled. "Charmed," the second twin said while holding out her empty glass. Devin took it and left, but not before turning to Brandon and mouthed Good luck.
So Brandon was left with the twins. He sat next to them and they all chatted a bit. The conversation, on their part, consisted heavily of innuendo and flirting, while Brandon only gave short, half-interested responses. The twins soon bailed on him after they saw he clearly wasn't interested, and went on to find some other guy who was more willing. Brandon grabbed a beer from behind the bar and turned around in his seat to look at the masses. Everyone was drunk and horny, and they all looked the part. Brandon even saw one couple having sex on a couch. He admitted to himself it was difficult not to think about having sex in a room filled with people wanting to have sex. He felt himself relax a little, and the memory of Nicole started to fade, but she was still there. He took a long chug of his beer, trying to forget about her. It apparently took more than one beer to forget about her, as Brandon learned after opening his fifth or sixth beer. He still sat at the bar, looking at all the people and deciding how he wanted this night to end.
Just then, as Brandon was about to take the first few sips of his beer, a girl stormed past him as a guy desperately followed. "Come on, baby, I know you'll love it," the guy pleaded. He was wasted, and probably did something incredibly stupid.
"I said, I'm not interested," the girl said as she pushed her drunken admirer away.
"Fuck you, bitch," the guy said before leaving her and heading back to the dancefloor.
The girl just stood there, then turned to the bar and saw Brandon watching her. She started to go red, though whether it was anger, embarassment, or just being drunk, Brandon wasn't sure.
"Can I help you?" she growled sarcastically, yet sounding a little uneasy, as if she were trying to sound more confident than she really was.
Brandon just shook his head and held out his beer in a peace offering. The girl just stared at it for a moment. Brandon broke the silence between the two of them. "You look like you could use it," Brandon said with a warm smile.
The girl laughed and looked at the floor, before turning her head back to Brandon. She nodded, walked over and grabbed the beer. "Thanks," was all she said before chugging it.
"Long night?" Brandon asked.
"Yeah, you could say that," she said in between gulps.
"Not really your scene?"
The girl laughed again. "Yeah, you could also say that," she grinned.
Brandon laughed with her. "I understand that. It can all be a little..." Brandon trailed off as he sought to find the right word.
"Much?" the girl proposed.
"If you want to put it mildly," Brandon responded. They both laughed. After an awkward moment, the girl motioned towards the seat next to Brandon where one of the twins previously sat.
"You mind?"
Brandon shook his head and the girl sat down next to him. As she did so, Brandon got a better look at her. She was cute, with a soft, round face and large, doe eyes. Her hair was jet black and shoulder length, which stood in stark contrast to her milky white complexion. She had long dancers legs, a particular weak spot for Brandon. She wore a little black dress, which she looked uncomfortable in. Her makeup accentuated her eyes, but just like the dress, she seemed uncomfortable with it. Her fingers curled tightly over the beer bottle, as if she was in a storm and holding on for dear life. Overall, Brandon judged, she look like a fish out of water. She was trying to put on a brave face, but as she took another long swig of her beer, Brandon could see she was nervous and uncomfortable.
"So, what brings a girl like you to a place like this?" Brandon chanced.
She spoke quickly, saying "Oh, well, when I got up this morning, I said 'you know, I really hope a stranger tries to have sex with me while I'm dancing in a completely different stranger's house.' Classic girl-meets-boy story." She took one final swig before finishing off the beer. She slammed the glass down in victory, muffled a burp, and turned to face Brandon. "What brings a guy like you to a shitty place like this?" she shot back.
"Oh, well, this is my best friend's place and he's lowkey throwing this party for me," Brandon quipped back. The girl's face suddenly went very red. This time, Brandon knew it was embarassment. She started to open her mouth, but no words came out. Brandon enjoyed seeing her squirm before he finally relented. "Relax, it's fine," he smiled, trying to make her feel comfortable. She laughed nervously and turned away from Brandon, her face still red. He added, "it is kind of a shitty place," still smiling.
The girl looked around the apartment. "No, it's actually a really nice place, like I could never afford a place this nice," she said, trying to make up for what she said.
Brandon laughed. "And you think he could?"
The girl laughed nervously again. Thenlooked down at her lap.
"Do you even know who's place this is?" Brandon asked.
"Umm...Daniel's?" the girl guessed. Brandon started laughing again. The girl felt Brandon was acting genuinely and looked up from her lap. "I honestly have no idea who owns this place. My friend Torrie convinced me to come here with her. I lost her immediately after we came here and I have no idea what I'm still doing here and I haven't seen Torrie in ages and these guys keep hitting on me and it's annoying and I'm kinda drunk and I usually don't drink or go to parties like this and I..." she trailed off once she noticed Brandon had put his hand on her arm. She stared intensely at it.
"Sorry," Brandon said, pulling his arm away, "but you were rambling and I figured you'd want to stop before you said something really embarrassing, though that would've been pretty cute," he added with a smile.
Once he had released his hand from the girl's arm, she snapped back to reality. "Huh?" she said, staring back at Brandon.
He chuckled and said "I said my name was Brandon." He offered his hand.
"Oh, I'm Annabelle," she replied, shaking his hand. "Most people call me Annie though. It's just a nickname or whatever but you can call me Annabelle if you want but you can call me Annie too or both or whatever really, it doesn't bother me at-"
"Annie, relax," Brandon emphasized, gently holding her hand in both of his.
"I'm sorry, I-hiccup!" she clapped her other hand over her mouth. "Hiccup!"
Brandon laughed again. This girl was adorable. Her hiccups made her whole body spasm.
Once she had finally regained control of her body, Annie muttered under her breath, saying "God, it's hot in here."
Brandon saw an opportunity. "You wanna leave?" Annie whipped her head around to stare at Brandon.
"But, this party, you said it was for you, what about Darryl-"
"First of all, it's Devin. Secondly, I'm more of his excuse to have this party, not the reason. And thirdly," Brandon leaned in, "I think you're cute and I want to get to know you in a place where I can actually hear you."
A breathy "Oh," was all Annie produced. She looked around. Her face, magically, reddened even more. "Okay," she added, looking back at Brandon.
Brandon, grinning from ear to ear, took ahold of Annie's hand and proceeded to walk with her to the front door. He opened the door for her and led her through. As she was walking past him, Brandon felt a pair of eyes staring at him and turned around. At the edge of the dancefloor, Devin was staring right back at Brandon. Devin had a dumb grin on his face and was making a circle with his index finger and thumb on one hand, and violently pushing his forefinger on the other hand through the circle. Such a fucking juvenile, Brandon thought, but he still smiled at his best friend before flipping his middle finger at him, and then followed Annie out of the apartment.
...
Brandon and Annie made their way to the elevator. In the light of the hallway, which was substantially lighter than the lights in Devin's apartment, Brandon once again got a better look at Annie. A small, leather black purse hung from her shoulder, and she was wearing black heels. She was about 5'6" he gauged, but her heels made her stand slightly taller, just barely coming past his shoulders. She had a small frame, and most of her height came from her legs. Her torso was small, but curvy. She had a B cup breasts, which complimented her small framce nicely. Brandon, however, was not focusing too much on her breasts. He was instead focusing more on her ass, which was incredibly shapely. Her black dress was super tight and showed off every curve of her body, particularly her legs and ass. Her cheeks stuck out a bit from her body, and curved delicously into the small of her back and her legs.
Once they arrived at the elevator, Brandon hit the button and stepped slightly behind Annie so that he could keep looking at her ass. As the elevator doors opened, he felt the sudden urge to shove Annie inside, push up her dress, and just start fucking her like crazy. The thought caught Brandon off guard. He was concsciously aware of how attractive Annie was, but didn't he make some sort of promise to himself to not get caught up in another girl? His attention only turned back to reality when he heard Annie quietly say "Coming?" Brandon walked inside the elevator, trying to discreetly regain his cool. He stole sideways looks at Annie. She was unconsciously fidgeting with the end of her dress and staring at the elevator numbers as they decreased. Brandon thought about what she must look like under that dress.
