The Party

The large house and pool were technically owned by Sean’s uncle. It was one of the reasons that Sean had chosen to come play Soccer here as opposed to other schools. Not because his he and his uncle were particularly close. It was quite the opposite. His uncle was hardly ever in town. And whenever he left town for business he always asked Sean to pop by when he could to check and make sure nothing happened to the place. So naturally Sean had been throwing massive parties the past two years without his uncle ever knowing.

“Bro where is she?” Sean looked at his friend Ben as one of those parties raged on around them.

“I texted her! She said she’s on her way!” Ben had always been one of the meekest guys on the team. But he and Sean got along really well and more importantly he had a contact that the whole bet hinged upon.

“It’s 11:15. We can’t pull this thing off without Wild Bill!”

“I really wish you wouldn’t call her that…” Ben said referring to his on again off again fling with a girl named Billie. She’d gone to high school with Ben, but attended a different but nearby college than them. The boys on the Men’s team had given her the “Wild Bill” moniker after her and some of her college friends had stayed in a house nearby spring break of their freshman year.

“Well Sean? Clocks ticking! Or are you ready to admit defeat?” Vicki had appeared from the throng of people by his side. She looked stunning in a pair of high waisted denim shorts and a white crop top. Just off her shoulder wearing a scowl on her face was Sean’s ex Sabrina. She looked equally, if not more, stunning in a tight fitting short green dress and high heels. She’d curled her long bleach blonde hair and it cascaded down her shoulder.

“Sabrina,” Sean said acknowledging his ex first, “glad you came. Are you having a good time?”

“Fine thank you.” She said coldly as she sipped her drink bringing the straw up to her bright red lips.

“Good!” Sean replied with awkward sincerity. He really was glad she was her, but things were still very awkward between the two. “And to answer your question no I am not conceding defeat.” He finally said in response to Vicki’s taunt. “In fact I think it’s about to happen any minute. I think you two should probably get two good seats over by the pool for the show.”

“The only show I’m expecting to see is the one where you and two of your friends are covering those cocks of yours in shame as you run thru our practice.” Not waiting for Sean to respond she turned and pushed thru the crowd.

“Fucking bitch.” Sean muttered just loud enough for Ben to hear.

“If you don’t like her why are you trying to hook up with her?” The shyer guy asked with curiosity.

“What? Vicki? No she’s awesome. I’m talking about Sabrina.”

“Ohhh sorry. Things still weird I guess?”

“You could say that.” Sean said in a tone that clearly closed the subject.

“Well… anyways…” Ben said clearly taking the hint and looking at his phone. He proceeded to look back at Sean with a mixture of excitement and dread. “She’s here.”
