Welcome Home

Nadia hung up the streamers and balloons in the banquet room. It was the largest room in the pony which could easily fit fifty. It was supposed to be the dining area but it wasn’t profitable to have buffets like the old days.

However on special occasions it was great for parties. The place looked really good.

“Oh my god Nadia! Neera is gonna love it,” Alice beamed.

Nadia smiled, “Glad to help.”

Alice swung her arm around Nadia’s shoulder, “Smile! This is for the memories!”

Alice took a selfie and they both smiled.

Slowly a dozen people showed up at The Pony. They all had this rough look about them. Nadia talked to one guy with long sweaty hair and eyeliner, Randolph, he was a musician artist. Heavy metal. He had recently been kicked out of the band for a bad attitude.

“So how do you know Neera?” Nadia asked.

“She kicked me in the balls once and I guess we became friends,” Randolph said.

Nadia tried not to make a face.

The next person see talked to was a girl with blue hair in a bun with a long fringe that nearly covered her eyes.

“I’m Winter,” she said in a floaty voice.

“Nadia,” she stuck out her hand to shake. Winter looked down. She made a fish gesture and waved it around.

Nadia made the face.

The third person she talked to was a tall lanky man with a black mullet. He had tattoos all over his neck in a sleeve. He wore a black cardigan and jeans. He had very blue eyes.

“Excuse me… Hi I am Nadia,” she said.

“Hello Nadia, my name is Lex..” he said.

“Lex… nice to meet you,” she said.

“I like your dress — very chic…” he said smoothly.

“Oh thank you,” Nadia said.

They talked for a little while about how they knew Alice and Neera. Lex had known them since childhood. Nadia said she met Alice through work. She wasn’t about to describe the whole incident with the near sexual ****.

Outside…

Neera pulled up at the Pony stepping out of the taxi. She smiled. Sly.

Neera was tall, elegant, narrow black eyes, shiny brown skin, and damn was she voluptuous. She had long black hair with blonde highlights. She wore high waisted black trousers which opened at her calves. A white crop top and a baggy black leather jacket with the sleeves rolled up. Her big E cup breasts stifled under her tight top. Wide hips. Thin waist. A belly button pierced. Ear and nose piercing. Bangles around the wrists.

“Home sweet home…” she said.
