It had been far too long. Too long since she’d been to a party, too long since she’d relaxed. Too long since she’d gotten laid. That last thought brought a blush, but Kristina carefully tempered her expectations. Tonight would be a casual hangout. Just Emma and a few of Emma’s friends. They’d probably just drink and watch TV. Emma had said they’d be watching Mindy’s favorite show, or something. Kristina had never met Mindy, but it didn’t really matter what was on, she just wanted to be around people again.
It had been so long since Kristina had been sociable, it would be a shame to not show off all the pretty new clothes she’d been buying. Totally inappropriate for work and grad school, of course, but now that she had the chance, she was dying to try them all out. A wrapped top that gave her cleavage without needing a bra, a super fun short pleated skirt, and iridescent green leggings. Were they too much? They were probably too much. But what the hell, they were fun. On a whim, she added a lacy black choker. It was probably way overdressing for this, but it was the first time Emma had invited her to Mike’s place. Emma had tried to tell her what to wear, but Kristina didn’t listen very closely. Better to be overdressed, just in case.
