Amanda's Birthday

I asked my mother for a small birthday party with just a few friends. So...why are a bunch of my mother's friends here getting very drunk? I mean Michelle can stay but the rest need to go.

I'm talking to my friends who are sitting on the sofa. My back is turned to all of the craziness of my mother and her friends. They really get wild when they drink.

"Hey, check it out. That cougar is totally checking you out." my best friend Ollie says to me. I look behind me and meet Michelle's gaze. She quickly looks down at her wine glass. Her face is really red. I think she's drunk but she still looks very pretty. She's wearing tight jeans that fit her so well. She has a black low cut blouse under a leather jacket and black ankle boots.

"That's Michelle remember? The one I told you about."

"Yeah well she's giving you the eyes."

"What eyes?" I ask.

"You know the eyes. Lisa help me out here."

"I don't... want... this. Keep me out of it." my other friend Lisa says.

"Well seeing as only me and you have experience. Is that blonde lady not giving Amanda the eyes?"

Lisa looks behind me and then says "I'm staying out of this."

"See! She is."

"Can you both stop? She's not giving me eyes or whatever."

"What do you mean both. I did nothing. I said I was staying out of it." Lisa remarks.

Michelle POV

I look over to the corner of Linda's living room at Amanda who's talking with her friends. She looks so cute in her overalls. Although they haven't left that spot all night. It's supposed to be Amanda's day but Linda and the group took over. Well I guess I'm part of the problem. I look down at my... I lost count... like five or something wine glass.

"Michelle?" I hear Martha, a friend of Linda's and I, say.

"Huh?"

"Did you give Amanda her birthday kiss?"

Birthday kiss?... I remember one time in college...

"I don't think Linda will be okay with me doing that?"

"Why wouldn't I be? Go for it." Linda says.

"Really!? Okay..."

I guess I'm doing this. I chug the rest of my wine and I begin to make my way to Amanda. The room is moving a little but I manage to keep my balance.

I tap Amanda on the shoulder and when she turns around I say "I forgot to give you a birthday kiss."

"Oh." Amanda giggles, turning her head slightly to the side.

I place my thumb on her cheek and my curled index finger underneath her chin turning her to face me.

I press my lips to hers. The kiss is one sided as I knew it would be from the time I was in her position back in college.

I envelope her bottom lip with my lips. She has the softest lips I've ever tasted. Placing my hands on the side of her face I pull her closer. She begins to kiss me back and I feel her arm on my lower back when suddenly I'm pushed back hard.

"MICHELLE! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?"
