We only brought two bottles of wine and were completely out before ten. They had a whole cooler of drinks and snacks and started sharing everything f...om submarine sandwiches to toast of vodka shots. Close to midnight, we were smashed drunk when we realized that we did not know each other’s names. Her name was Candice, but everyone calls her Sandy because she has "sandy" blonde hair, and his name was Richard Small. April burst out laughing and almost yelled "Your parents named you Dick. She was expecting Neil to drop by. She looked up at the clock as well; time was marching on. There was still no sign of Neil. Claire was beginning to panic. Almost two hours had passed and there was still no sign of him. She considered breaking company rules to sneak off and call him and was almost at that point when suddenly the two of them came into the store together. Her heart skipped a beat. Why were they coming in together? Was it because... ? She caught their faces. Karl had a smile on. ”She nodded, then sighed deeply and searched my eyes for something more reassuring. I glanced at her hands gripping her empty coffee mug.“What are you thinking?” She looked at me over the rim of her mug.“I'm thinking how brave you are to do this.”“I'm scared. I've never done anything like this.”“Me either.”I reached for her hands. She released the coffee mug and took mine.“I can't believe this is happening. I'm actually doing something. Thank you for taking this chance with me. I don't know. No wonder everyone was staring at me, I thought.After trying to get myself straightened out I returned to the table and thanked the men for the drinks and dancing and told them I had to go. They all seemed disappointed, and Ron told me he would walk me too my car. Once we reached my car Ron kissed me and I returned the kiss. He fondled my breasts but I pushed his hands away. I unlocked the car door and Ron went to the passenger's side. I'm not sure why, but I unlocked the door for him. He again.
