(continued from Lauren's Story - Chapter 25...)

Lauren did finally make it in to the office in the morning, although she was typically there before 7:30, it was a struggle for her to make it in just before 9:00 am. But considering that she didn't make it back to her apartment until almost 4:00 am, she considered it a victory. Friday mornings were the weekly conference call with the corporate office. During that day's call her boss, Jessica, brought up the annual summer party that was to happen at the Westpark complex. Other complexes had little summer get-togethers but the one at the complex Lauren was in charge of was known as an event for the residents. And because the property was one of, if not the most profitable property in the corporate portfolio, they were willing to spend more money to keep the residents happy. This year would mark the 5th year of the complex's existence and therefore was the 5th annual summer party. Jessica reminded Lauren that she needed to make it bigger than last year's event and make sure that everyone in the complex had a good time at it.
Lauren was managing another property the previous summer so she really didn't know what last year's bash consisted of, but she was going to have to top it no matter what. She wanted to make her mark so she could get noticed and then promoted. At Monday morning's staff meeting she brought her team together to talk about and start planning this year's event.
"Well, last year was the biggest one we've had so far. But if you want to compare year over year, we can go through the pictures." Sarah said as she hooked up the projector to her computer. "These are pictures from the first year." Sarah clicked through the pictures and there was a cookout of hamburgers and hot dogs. It looked like there was a potato sack race for residents. Lots of people hanging out by the pool and nearly everyone had a beer with them. Then the pictures went to the second year of the party. This party had another cookout, with more beer. There was what looked like one of those egg toss games where teams tossed each other an egg from farther and farther distances until someone won. There was a limbo contest. And again lots of people gathered around the pool. "I've also heard from various people that there was jello wrestling at this particular event. But there are no pictures to prove it." Sarah said, looking directly at Lauren.
"Probably a reason for that..." Stephanie said.
Year three came up next and again there were cookout pictures with large coolers of beer opened up. There was a dunk tank this time. Everyone in the office assumed, since none of them were at the property during this time, that the people getting dunked were the people from the office. There was a tug of war contest. And it looked like there was a DJ there as well. And finally there were pictures of lots of people hanging out by the pool, but this time the pictures showed what looked like was some sort of competition going on at the pool. The first picture Sarah guessed was a belly flop competition since they had that the following year as well. And then there was a picture with a big log looking thing stretched across the pool. And in the next picture there were people with pool noodles trying to knock each other off of the log.
Finally they were onto the pictures from last year. Now Sarah, Stephanie, and Donna all worked in the office at this time so they could talk about what was going on in much more detail. "This first picture is of the food. We had the same guy come out that was here the previous years. He cooks hamburgers, hot dogs, etc. It's all good. He brings everything you would need and he's fairly priced. I'd say we use him again." Sarah explained as Stephanie nodded in agreement.
"The next picture is the belly flop contest. Apparently we've done this every year and it's a crowd favorite. So we should definitely do it again this year. The next picture is of the dunk tank. Everyone seems to like it and they like getting back at the people they have to pay their rent to. I think we should do this one again." Sarah said and everyone in the room nodded in agreement. "We also had a pie eating contest. It seemed to go ok, but not a lot of people competed. We might need to look at some other contest."
"What did you give the winners of these contests?" Lauren asked.
"Corporate gave us gift cards. Winner got a $50 for some contests. There were also $25 ones and $10 ones."
"We didn't do the log on the pool thing because apparently someone complained about it after the previous year's event. Seems like someone claimed they got hurt when they were aggressively hit by a pool noodle. Not sure if we want to do that or not." Sarah explained.
"Probably should avoid things where residents can get hurt." Lauren said.
The slideshow of pictures was over and Sarah turned the lights in the conference room back on.
"So...do you guys have any ideas for other things we can do this year?" Lauren asked. "I'd like to have the DJ back. I think that's fun. I agree that we get the cookout guy back. We obviously need to do the belly flop competition again. But I think we need some more things for the residents to do. Any ideas?"
Stephanie spoke up, "I've been thinking about this and my friend has a giant slip and slide. You know, like the ones you slide down as a kid in the summer?"
"I remember those." Jasmine finally spoke out.
"Well, what if we set it up in that open area, and have a judged competition. People would get judged on their style or tricks sliding down it. We could really make it fun, and I have this idea because of you Lauren, by rewarding people who did the slip and slide in costumes. They could get bonus points for that." Stephanie explained.
"What does everyone think about that?" Lauren asked the group. And everyone nodded in approval. "Ok, Stephanie you work on getting that together and come up with the rules, etc. What else?"
"I'd like to try a variation of the pie eating contest. But this time I wouldn't tell people what they're signing up for."
"That sounds like you won't get anyone to sign up." Stephanie sarcastically said.
"No, we'd just offer up a $50 gift card but they have to sign up without knowing what the game is. I'll have to work on that but I can come up with something."
"Ok, I'll go with it but I need to hear a definitive plan before it actually happens." Lauren said.
"I'll have something." Sarah replied.
"Jasmine, got any ideas?" Lauren asked.
"Well, I do have an idea but...I'm not sure if you guys will be on board with it...but I think it's a good one." Jasmine spoke bashfully.
"Ok, nothing is off the table at this point, what is it?" Lauren replied.
"So...my best friend's mom just got diagnosed with cancer. She hasn't started chemo yet but it looks like that's the path she's headed down."
"This isn't sounding great so far..." Stephanie sarcastically spoke out again.
"Ok, go on..." Lauren said.
"Well, what if we could actually do something good? Like raise money for cancer research?"
"How would we do that?" Lauren asked.
"This is the part where I would need you guys to go along with it...We did a fund raiser when I was in high school to raise money for the cross country track team. At our fall festival, all of the cross country team members manned a booth. And at that booth, people could come up and give $3."
"And?" Both Sarah and Stephanie asked.
"Well...with the $3 donation they got to put a pie in the face of someone on the team. We raised like $250 or so in an afternoon, which was a lot for the cross country team."
"So...you want us to all volunteer to get pied to raise money for Cancer research? Thoughts ladies?"
"How much would the person have to donate? I think $3 is not enough." Sarah asked.
"I looked it up online and saw someone do a similar fund raiser and they asked for a $10 donation per pie. And if you donated more you got more pies." Jasmine answered, still seemingly ashamed of her idea
Lauren loved the idea, not only because she would get to receive some pies in the face but the corporate office was always talking about corporate responsibility and making a difference in the community. This would be a good way to do it. "I like it. But only if everyone is on board?" She looked over at Stephanie and Sarah.
"I'm in.' Sarah said, smiling back at Lauren.
"I guess I can't say no to cancer, so sure, why not?" Stephanie said.
"And you Jasmine, are you on board?" Lauren asked.
"Yes ma'am."
"Ok, it's set. Someone's going to have to get Donna on board. What are we going to do for pies? That sounds like it could get expensive?"
"I bet we could go to the different grocery stores and they would donate whipped cream or pies to us." Sarah said.
"Everyone has their assignments. And be thinking about anything else we could do to generate some fun and excitement. We'll meet again next week. We've got to get busy on this as we are only 5 weeks away..."
The next few weeks went by without too much excitement. Lauren was spending her weekends at David's house. And they actually went on normal dates, dinner, movie, etc. Lauren had expected there to be some messy sessions but nothing like that had happened since that messy weekend they had together. But everything was going great between them, so he probably didn't want to "mess" that up.
Everything was coming together for the summer party. Jasmine had received commitments for pie donations, Sarah had reserved the dunk tank and was still working on her other event. Stephanie had secured the big slip and slide and had actually written out the rules, etc. If this all went well, Lauren was confident that she would be in line for a promotion.
David called her on that Tuesday and gave her some "bad news." He was put on assignment with one of the station's reporters and the story they were researching was going to take them out of town for two weeks. He had to leave on Sunday morning but he did manage to get Friday night off as he was spending the day with the reporter finalizing all of the details.
Lauren understood but she was really going to miss him. She then made the mistake of going online and looking up the reporter he would be traveling with. Karen Devos was the "investigative" reporter for the local station, which was fine, but she looked to be younger than Lauren, very well endowed, and had hair about the same length and color as Lauren's. Her first thought was that David had just found the upgraded, younger model of her. That was a bit unsettling to Lauren, but given her history of bad relationships it couldn't be ruled out.
David promised Lauren a great Friday night since he was going to be gone soon. Lauren was looking forward to it but her jealous thoughts were clouding things at the moment. She wanted to talk to Sarah and try to dig into David's past some more but she knew that Sarah would go right to David with that info. She stalked the reporter on Facebook and, of course, she was single.
The rest of the week all David texted her about was getting ready for the trip. They were going to New York and the rest depended on where the investigation took them. Finally it was Friday and Lauren hadn't decided how she was going to confront David with her suspicions, if at all.
After work she went back to her place to change out of her work clothes. Normally, she would have put something sexy on for David but she just slipped on some jeans and a concert shirt. Tonight was about getting down to the truth and she wasn't going over to do anything but that.
When she arrived, David let her in and they sat down in the living room. David was wearing jeans and his work polo shirt. "Did you eat yet? I can make us some dinner, if you're hungry?"
Lauren hadn't stopped for dinner, because she was so focused on her jealous thoughts. "I haven't eaten yet."
"Spaghetti ok for you?"
"Sure."
"What's going on? You don't seem to be yourself tonight?"
"I don't know. I've just been thinking about us..."
"Wait a minute...Are you about to break up with me? I'm not going to allow that. You've completely turned my life around." David looked panicked.
"I...I don't want to break up with you. You've changed my outlook as well. But...I saw who you're going to be spending the next 2 weeks with. She looks like a younger, hotter version of me. I'm just worried that you'll get rid of me for her."
"That's ridiculous. For one thing, she's kind of a bitch to deal with. And for another thing, she's dating the weekend sports anchor, Dean. And, most importantly, I'm in love with you. I can't imagine anyone ever replacing you."
And there it was...for the first time David had used the "love" word. Lauren was feeling that word too, but her jealousy had gotten in the way of it. "I love you too." She said back.
David came over and kissed her. "I'm not ever going to leave you, unless you tell me to. And even then I'm going to put up a fight. Besides, what would I do with all of those pies I have in the other room?
Lauren smiled and kissed him back. "Let's have dinner first..."
With Lauren's thoughts of jealousy put to rest for the moment, the mood certainly lightened. They laughed through dinner and a few glasses of wine. She even asked questions about the investigation, which involved a big corporation and apparently some prostitutes who apparently had the low down on what was going on. They finished eating and David got up to clear the table. He brought over a container for the leftover spaghetti and sauce. "Just put it all together in the thing."
Lauren scooped the noodles in and then dumped the leftover tomato sauce into the container. "When are you going to eat this? Aren't you leaving town?"
"Good question, not sure if I will." David said as Lauren handed him the container to put in the fridge. As Lauren turned back toward the table, David opened the container back up and poured it out over Lauren's head. Noodles and sauce dripped over her face and onto her shirt. She let out a scream when it happened.
"What?!? Why?!?"
"I didn't want to waste it..."
"You are in trouble, mister..." Lauren said as she wiped the noodles and sauce from her face, flicking it at David as she did. "Are we doing this tonight?" She asked.
"Like I said, I have a bunch of pies in the next room."
"I'll meet you there..." Lauren walked out of the room and headed for David's bedroom. She washed off her face and some of the sauce. Lauren took off her spaghetti soaked shirt and threw it in the master bathroom tub. Luckily her jeans only ended up with a few noodles on them, as she didn't pack any other clothes. She took off her jeans, then decided to take everything off, standing naked in front of David's bedroom full-length mirror. She decided to dig around his closet to find something to wear, eventually settling for a long sleeve, white dress shirt. She rolled up the sleeves and then found an old tie to add to the look. Lauren used to help her ex with his tie before work each morning so she was pretty good at tying one. She put it around her neck and now her look was complete, white dress shirt with a tie and nothing else underneath. As she looked in the mirror another drop of spaghetti sauce dropped onto the shoulder of the white shirt she had put on.
Lauren walked into the big room where David was waiting for her. And he wasn't lying, as there was a table full of pies. At that moment, Lauren decided to do something different. She walked over to David and pushed him down into the chair he was standing next to.
"That shirt looks good on you," David said. "And the tie is a nice touch. I think I only wore that tie once."
Lauren lifter her leg up and placed her foot on David's lap, revealing to David the fact that she had nothing on underneath. "Since you are leaving me for two weeks, with a hotter version of me, I've decided that I am going to be the one in charge tonight. And you have no say in the matter."
"Ok. But like I said, you have nothing to worry about."
"I'm just going to make sure. Could you be a dear and move this chair over to the proper area in the middle of the room?" Lauren asked as she ran her foot over his crotch.
"For you, I'll get it moved. But you'll have to take your leg off of me."
Lauren slowly lifted her leg, making sure David got a clear view of her pussy as she did it.
As David moved the chair, he kept his eyes on Lauren, and spoke, "I'm going to put this chair here, then I'm going to go change clothes, and then we can get you started..."
Lauren laughed. "That won't be necessary." As David set the chair down, Lauren pulled him close and started to unbutton his jeans. She slid them down to the floor and pulled his polo shirt over his head leaving him standing there in just his black boxers. "That will work for me." Lauren said as she ran her hand over the front of his boxers and pushed him down onto the chair. As she walked over to get a pie form the table she turned to look at her boyfriend who was clearly surprised by the persona that she had taken on. But she could also tell by the bulge in his boxers that he was enjoying it.
She was going to throw the pie at him like he did to her but she knew that she would probably miss everything, so she just walked up to him and smashed the pie directly into his face, smearing it up and over his head. When the tin was empty, she dropped it to the floor and headed back for another one. As David wiped off his eyes, she slammed another pie into his face, this time, smearing it downward, all over his exposed chest. She ran back over to the table and grabbed two more pies which she then slammed onto each side of David's head, which was now just a big blob of pie. But she was definitely not done yet...
Lauren took another pie and walked back over to David, who was trying to wipe pie from his face so he could get a breath. "Stand up please." She ordered.
David stood up and the bulge in his boxers was very apparent. Lauren really wanted to play with that. She pulled his boxers down to the floor and set the pie she was holding onto the chair. She pushed David back down onto the chair sending pie all over the floor and of course all over his naked ass. For good measure she scraped some pie off of the side of the chair and rubbed it all over his very hard cock. It was very obvious that he enjoyed that move so she went and grabbed another pie. "He really had a lot of pies...what was he planning to do?" Lauren thought to herself. She walked back over and pushed the pie onto his enlarged member, completely covering it up in pie. She pushed the tin off to the floor and bent down to run her tongue over it, getting a significant amount of pie on her face in the process.
At that point Lauren was very turned on and decided to just go for it. She straddled her pie covered boyfriend, and slid her pussy down his pie covered dick. As she rode him, the tie and white shirt she was wearing were quickly smeared with pie but that was not what she was paying attention to. She rode David until she came and then she felt him do the same inside her.
Lauren lifted herself off of the chair and laid down on the floor. David tried to wipe more pie from his face and as he did he flicked it down at Lauren. "That wasn't how I had pictured this happening." David said.
"'I'm sorry," Lauren said, "I just kind of took over and lost control of myself. I hope I didn't ruin your evening."
"That's about as far from a ruined evening as I could picture. You were amazing. It's like you're a natural at this stuff..."
Lauren smiled back as she couldn't believe the things she had been doing recently. But it was genuinely arousing and she was having the time of her life, especially with David. "I had a good trainer." She said, then suddenly thought about Sarah and wondered if she should tell David the truth.
"Let's head over to the shower." David said, interrupting her thoughts.
"Good idea."
They rinsed off in the shower, Lauren still had the white shirt and tie on, letting it soak through until David could see right through it. Finally he unbuttoned the shirt, slowly, much to Lauren's delight and she was just as naked as he was. They kissed and touched for a while under the stream of warm water before David spoke up. "Things got going so fast I left the towels over on the other side of the room. I'll be right back."
As David stepped out from under the shower that was just open into the room, Lauren just put her head under the water flow and thought about how happy David made her. She felt like David was telling her the truth about the reporter, and he acted like he really did love her. She definitely was in love with him.
Lauren continued to just daydream under the shower head when she saw David's hand turning off the water in the shower. He handed her a towel and they both dried off. Lauren bent over to dry off her hair and when she stood back up, David plastered her in the face with a pie. "You made the mistake of not using all of the pies..." David said laughing.
Then Lauren felt a pie sandwich around her head. Then David pulled the towel away and pied her in the chest, running his hands all over her cream covered breasts. Then she felt a pie on her naked ass and then one in the front on her pussy, again David's hands were all over her body, especially down there.
"One left, where do you want it?" David asked.
Lauren basically couldn't see anything so she just pointed down at her pussy because she really enjoyed David's hands down there. He complied and smashed the last pie onto her exposed, but cream covered pussy. She grabbed his hand and held it down there as he explored her pussy with his fingers. Lauren really enjoyed that and started to moan until it was too much and she came all over his fingers.
Once she regained a little composure, she still couldn't see very well, but she saw well enough to know where David was at. She jumped at him and gave him a big bear hug, smearing the pie from her onto his naked body. They ended up slipping in all of the pie and rolled around on the floor for a bit before deciding to try another shower. Lauren was glad she came over...
