After the Fourth Sleep

Finally, it's Friday and I'm about to head out to Tony's party when my uncle stops me right at the door.

Uncle Tshepo: "Lee, Hun, are you sure you've got all you need? I'd hate for you to go to your first party unprepared."

Me: "Malume, I have all I need. Relax. Now can we leave? I'm going to be late!"

On the way there, uncle Tshepo asks me if there will be any adult supervision there and if I can get the adult's number and send it to I'm so he can check in when he goes to bed. I promised I'd forward a number and he can call when he sleeps. Knowing that the closest person to an adult that would be there was Tony's older brother (he's 20, by the way) didn't make me feel too confident but as long as my uncle has peace of mind, I'm alright.

I step out the car, head into the house and there's NO ONE THERE! I mean, I get all dolled up for this?! And empty front yard? I step to the front door, ring the doorbell and the man himself steps to the door. He steps out, closes the door and before I could get a single word out, he grabs me and kisses me... Mind you, his lips are the softest, warmest lips I've tasted and he's amazing at this game. After a good two minutes spent licking each others' faces, he finally greets.

Tony: Babe, I was starting to think you weren't coming. Who brought you over?

Me: My uncle, the one I told you about. He was fussing about how I should keep away from alcohol and the boys should stay at a fairly good distance away from me, just to avoid unnecessary contact -

Tony: I guess you just broke that rule, because we just kissed. By the way, I love the taste of your lips yeah, and I'm not talking about your lipgloss...

Me: Yeah, okay. Just let me in please? I'm freezing!

I had to drop that topic quick to keep myself from taking him right then and there. The house is massive! I mean, how do these people manage to live with so much space? The lounge looks like those posh furniture showrooms that only rich people visit. From the recliners to the coffee table, all looks proper sophisticated. The kitchen is beautiful too! Black marble tops, granite floors and plenty of appliances. Gordon Ramsay would love to cook here had he seen it. I was tempted to suggest cooking dinner the way the place looks so inviting.

The backyard had a few people sitting there, two girls were swimming in the heated pool and some other people were dancing in the pool house. Tony's brother, Melusi, is an older and significantly hotter version of Tony. My goodness, I'm afraid to meet their father never mind their sister. I know a few people that were there from primary school so blending in wasn't too bad. I took a seat at the bar, started the night off with a glass of guava juice (don't judge) and some snacks. Tony's just talking to his guys a distance away from me and I'm conversing with my old friends. Thoriso, a mutual friend, asks me how I met Tony.

Me: Uh, we met online actually. It's strange, I know but we have a weird connection. Not that we're involved or anything but we click.

Thoriso: m'kay. Nah, we go to school with the dude so that's why we're here. Our parties aren't usually this small though, we'd have girls all over the place dancing and getting stupid. Today we thought of just bringing our girls along to have some peace away from the night-life. He brought you, so that should mean something... He's not one to just have girls around him and hook up randomly.

Me: I won't read too much into this, I just want to have fun. So, how've you been since I last saw you? You were a snot-nosed kid with a major obsession with superheroes and motorbikes.

I couldn't hear anything Thoriso said... All I could think of was how I got an invite to an exclusive party and I'm with the host, who is one of the hottest of all the guys here. Don't get me wrong, they're all hot. It's as though one would have to apply and qualify to get into this crew. I'm just with the hottest which is crazy to comprehend because I've never had a boyfriend, never mind had a guy this hot interested in me. It all seemed somewhat surreal. I mean, I'm not as beautiful as the girls here, so maybe I should feel somewhat out of place.

Tony comes over and motions me to sit next to him. I refused and told him to come to me. He walks up to me, pulls me up, sits down and let's me sit on his lap (sexy, right?). The whole time spent sitting there he had his arm around me, and kept looking up at me to blow me a kiss. I just played hard-to-get since I'm not so great at the PDA thing... What am I talking about? I've never even been in a situation where such is expected...

Anyway, it's around 11pm and Melusi let's me know that my uncle just called and wanted to make sure I was okay. Well, now the REAL party can start! We got into the house, the guys brought bottles of alcohol and juice and put them on the table in the second lounge. Board games, a PS3 and some shot glasses were brought along too. So this is how these guys party: the board games are the ice-breakers. Everyone gets to know each other and gets comfortable as the game progresses and once we're familiar with each other, the drinking games start. They range from strip poker and drunken karaoke to "F*ck Me, F*ck Me Hard" (Good people, I don't know how to explain the objective of this game so don't start wondering what it is. Just know it's a drinking game. Thanks)

Drunken karaoke was great because we play in coupled teams. Tony and I went head-to-head and obviously, I won. The night goes on, we're all faded and dancing. Tony and I head into the kitchen to fix everyone some food. I'm sitting at the island peeling the veggies and he's at the stove preparing everything else. We flirt, have our moments where we're kissing and trying not to take things too far. He lets me taste the chocolate sauce he made, and it's delicious!

Tony: I'm so glad you like it. I need you to keep a secret though... The sauce is for us.

Me: Why? We should all be having some, it's amazing!

Tony: The thing is, I want to eat it off you...

I am beyond stunned but because I'm just out of my elements it really doesn't matter how awkward what he said is. I stand up from the chair, pull him away from the stove and against the island. We kiss passionately, he picks me up and seats me on the island counter with his hands underneath my shirt and stroking my back... With my arms around him, I pull off his shirt and he pulls off mine...
