As far as I knew, Sally didn’t know anything about what had happened with the app. She had given me a little smile when we shook hands, almost as if she recognized but couldn’t place me. I got that a lot, being semi-famous thanks to the app and Jessa – not that that was ever my intention. I was more of a behind the scenes kind of guy.
Another plus for Sally and our conversation so far was that she didn’t seem that interested in babies, outside of baking cakes for events having to do with them, in exchange for money, which were already two big points in her favor.
The cake wasn’t the end of it. Once that was set up, she started making and organizing smaller pastries with the help of an assistant from the caterer’s.
“So, how did you and Gia meet?” I asked her.
“In class. She drew a picture that made me laugh in geometry. We both got two days detention for it, but it was the beginning of our strong bond. I was the first one she told she was pregnant.”
“Wow, that’s cool,” I said, surprised by the depth of their connection.
“She was the first person I really loved, if that makes sense.”
“It does actually,” I said, feeling a pang of envy.
I had close buddies, but no one I could say that about. I thought it must be different for men and women, and that women’s’ friendships were one of the things I couldn’t fully understand but could certainly appreciate.
“Shouldn’t you be out with the others?” Sally asked, finishing off the last small pastry.
“I’d rather be here with you,” I said, before I knew what I was saying.
In retrospect, I realized it was true, and not just because I was trying to avoid the people mingling out in the living room. She was clever, funny and hot as hell.
I wanted to fuck her so bad in every way I could imagine. I could just imagine lifting her up on top of this counter and pulling her panties to the side underneath her skirt, so I could rub her clit until she came. Then I’d put some of this icing on her and lick her sweet little pussy until she was screaming out my name, with no worries of anyone hearing us. Of course, I’d have to slide my cock into that wet pussy of hers next.
Oh, yeah. I was definitely having fantasies about her. And they weren’t just one-night-stand type stuff.
But that also meant it wouldn’t work out. I didn’t want a relationship and she didn’t seem like the one-night stand type. She was too sweet and genuine. Maybe she was a serial monogamist, if anything.
“Time to roll,” the caterer said, coming into the kitchen.
Sally picked up the cake and headed out into the party. She was followed closely by the assistant with the smaller pastries. Alone in the kitchen, I reluctantly went out into the party.
At least Sally would be there, I thought. And then I immediately told myself to stop thinking that way.
The cake was cut, revealing a pink inside, meaning, I assumed, that the baby Gia was carrying with impressive grace was a girl. The revelation meant I was free to slip away as the party kept going and the cake was passed around.
I wanted to stay just to hit on Sally, but I knew I couldn’t do that. It wouldn’t lead anywhere good. Nothing involving women and me ever fucking did.
I was too drunk to drive so I requested an Uber on my phone once I was outside.
“Need a ride?”
I looked over and saw Reece’s driver, whom I had met on a couple of occasions.
“Sure, won’t Reece mind?”
“Of course not sir; he told me to take good care of his guests tonight,” the driver answered, smiling pleasantly, as was their job, I supposed. “I will bring the car around.”
“Thanks.”
After a few minutes, I got into the back of the limo feeling pretty proud of myself for not even asking Sally for her number.
Although the stupid part of my brain wished I had, because I couldn’t get her out of my head. Particularly her beautiful breasts and ass. That curvy hourglass figure of hers. Her sweet laugh and her witty banter.
I wished I could fuck her. And get to know her better.
So I knew to stay away from trying to do either one.
Jessa had seemed sweet at first, too. And I never wanted to end up with another Jessa on my hands.
Chapter Two
Sally
The party had gone really well. The caterer I worked with was one of the best, so that wasn’t really a surprise. When everything was sorted and I was free to talk, I started to look for Mike. I had really enjoyed his company and was interested in seeing him again.
“Have you seen Mike?” I asked Reece, after I looked around the living room and didn’t spot him.
