Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 30

_____ T H E P A R T Y____

I tried to concentrate on work the following week, and did my best to avoid too much contact with the neighborhood. I saw Jodi and Pam walk by a few times in the early evening, but I was inside and didn't talk with them. I also avoided the front deck at night, trying not to stir up my voyeuristic lust. I did see Ron move his things out of their house and take off in a moving van, but didn't have the opportunity to talk with him.

Coming home from work on Thursday I turned the comer and was shocked to see several police cars in front of our place. My heart stopped and I freaked out a bit, my mind racing about what I had done that could be landing me in jail. I hit the brakes and watched their movements, and finally realized the officers were actually concentrated around the house next door; Cliff and the waif's. I released the brakes and slowly pulled ahead and pulled into our driveway.

Debbie was out on their front deck, watching the scene. She waved as I got out of my car, it looked like she was laughing at the scenario, as if to say they're finally taking out the trash'. Two officers were taking Cliff out to their police car in handcuffs. Two others were talking to the waif, who was crying and pleading with them. An officer with DEA on his coat carried out two bags from the house, followed by a drug-sniffing dog.

..... as if she didn't already have a torturous life, now she will be homeless... if she isn't going to jail along with that dipshit Cliff.

I walked up the stairs to our front door and let myself in. I grabbed a beer and walked out onto the front deck, looking at the scenario next door, and the neighborhood gathering to watch the arrest. It made me feel rather sick to see so many neighbors smiling and laughing at the sad situation, even if these two had created it themselves. I turned and went back inside and started making dinner.

Denise got home about ten minutes later, "What's going on next door? At first I thought maybe someone had broken into our house!"

"It looks like a drug bust. I saw them haul the tall guy out in handcuffs. I don't know about the girl,"

"Well, I don't think anyone is going to miss those two. I just knew they were selling drugs out of that place." She came up and started setting the table. "We're all set up for tomorrow night; 5:00 at The Emporium. I think Lisa Olsen and Rick will be able to join us too.

I knew Denise always had a major crush on Rick, even though he was Lisa's boyfriend. He was a tall guy with a great smile, charm, worked out a bunch, and was pretty full of himself, but I guess his looks justified that attitude. Denise was always all smiles around Rick, and laughed at just about anything he said.

I always had a bit of a crush on Lisa too. Lisa was a close friend of Denise for as long as I've known her, and I was pretty sure Lisa knew I was attracted to her. She was always very polite and reserved with me when she was around Denise, but she quietly flirted with me with her eyes, her smile, and her "Innocent' comments when other people weren't listening.

Rick was pretty fun to be around, and we often hung out together when we both showed up at the same party. I got the impression he was a player though, and I saw him kissing a girl in the hallway at one party when Lisa wasn't looking. I never told Denise about it.

"I should probably pick up some beer and snacks so we have something in case everybody heads back here afterwards."

"Good idea... I think we are almost out. Grab some wine too-I'm not sure what everybody drinks."

The Emporium

The Emporium was only a few years old, and ended up getting packed most nights. It was loud, had a great bar, reasonable drink prices, and good food. Keith and Tammy were already at the bar when Denise and I arrived. Kyle and Laurie came in a moment later, and we moved to a larger table before the place filled up.

Denise pulled up two more chairs to the table, "I talked with Lisa before we left. She should be here anytime, but Rick will be coming straight from work, so he'll be a little late."

I was still on my first beer when Lisa came in. She looked hotter than ever, in a short sweater-dress that really showed off her body.

Lisa was a petite girl, a little over 5' tall, with a round bubble-butt and perfect boobs for her size. She was wearing her curly blonde hair in a bob-cut, like Meg Ryan in her good days, her wringlets bounced around as she walked in.

Denise waved at her, "Lisa! Over here!"

Lisa flashed a wide smile and ran over to our table. "Hi guys! What a great idea! We haven't gotten together in ages!" Hugs were given all around from her, and I swear she held onto me a little longer than the others. Her tight little body felt good against me and I didn't want to let go. I ran my hand up her back as | released her and couldn't feel a bra strap.

She pulled up a chair across from me and ordered a beer. I tried not to look, but had to see if the shape of her nipples showed through the tight sweater dress. A zipper ran down the front of the dress, from the neckline all the way down to the hem at the bottom. A soft hand on my shoulder snapped me out of my trance; it was Laurie, Kyle's girlfriend. Laurie and Kyle had been dating for a few years now and seemed like a happy couple. Laurie was attractive, if a little plain compared to Lisa; mostly quiet unless she had been drinking. "Whatcha been doin, Jeff? Still working on that old car?"

"I should probably pick up some beer and snacks so we have drive at all?" Rick called over the walter and asked for the checks.
