hugged her.
“The house looks fantastic, Edna. You’ve really outdone yourself this year. Thank you for everything.”
Edna smiled warmly. “Thank you and you are most welcome.”
“Oh, there you are love,” Fred Rick yelled as he made his way across the floor toward the two women. He leaned in and planted fake kisses on Sydney’s cheeks.
Sydney smiled and shook her head. “Fred Rick, the food selection this year is over the top. You are definitely the best chef in the world.”
“I do try, my dear,” Fred Rick said, flipping his hand flamboyantly in the air. He pretended to brush his hair back away from his face. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I see a handsome young man across the room and I can tell that he is just dying to meet me.”
Sydney couldn’t help but shake her head as Fred Rick disappeared amongst a crowd of bodies who were dancing near the band’s stage. Sydney excused herself from Edna when she saw Jackie come in.
On the far side of the room near the Christmas tree, Allen, Kenneth, and Robert stood huddled together with their wives. The women were a bit overdressed for a Christmas party and were more suited to be at the president’s inauguration. The three men extricated themselves and headed off toward the dining room.
“Where do you suppose they are going?” Danielle VanDersmote, Robert’s wife asked.
“I’m sure their talking business, you know how dedicated our husbands are, Danielle dear,” Victoria Carmichael cooed.
“By the way, I love your dress, Victoria. Is it Vera?” Carmen Worthington, Kenneth’s wife asked.
“Heavens no, darling, It’s Versace’. I would not be caught dead in a Wang dress,” Victoria corrected as if Carmen had insulted her. “Look at her,” Victoria said with a nod of her head.
The two women looked in the direction Victoria had indicated. Sydney and Jackie stood next to the doorway that led into the foyer, talking.
“What about her?” Carmen asked.
“I just cannot believe she flaunts her lesbian sexuality around in the open for all to see. What do two women do together anyway? For the life of me, I cannot understand how they have sex. Do you think she straps one on or what?”
Carmen and Danielle laughed.
“If you don’t know how two women can have sex with each other, Victoria, that tells me one thing. You’ve never had an orgasm in your entire miserable life and when Allen’s dry humping your ass like a dog, you become nothing more than a human waste disposal, you know, like a fuck dump for all of his deformed little swimmers,” Karen said from behind the women.
The three women whirled around, their faces registering shock as they stared at Karen. It was obvious that they could not believe anyone, let alone someone like Karen would speak to them in such a manner. Victoria’s eyes took in Karen’s red, green, and black Goth outfit. She made no attempt to hide the smirk on her face as she looked Karen up and down from head to toe.
“Like anyone would ever take anything you had to say seriously,” Victoria said with as much dignity as she could muster.
“Like anyone in their right mind would ever wanna fuck you,” Karen said and then laughed as the women’s mouths dropped open. “By the way, I’m orgasmically endowed, how about you?” Karen said with a wink before walking away from the women.
Sydney smiled as Karen approached. She grabbed two glasses of champagne from a passing waiter and handed one to Karen. “I saw you talking with the triplets, learn anything interesting?” she asked.
“More like the Hounds of Baskerville ,” Karen laughed. “Those bleach blonde-haired hoity toity bitches don’t have an interesting bone in their bodies. They don’t understand that without their “husbands” so called upper status at Welsh they wouldn’t be shit,” Karen said, making a finger quote her with hand.
Jackie looked at Karen and laughed.
“I think you may be right. Hear,
