Chapter 2
I awoke awhile later, and Cassie was still snoring softly, I found it kind of cute and relaxed and picked up my book and was almost through with the chapter when I heard the garage door opening. I looked over and saw that Cassie looked very exposed.
Her shorts were still on the grass and her tiny bikini would raise questions from her parents. He gave her a soft nudge and she awoke slowly, once she saw his hurried expression, she stood up and grabbed her shorts.
She put them on awkwardly, she bent over deliberately showing off her mostly bare ass and giving it a shake as she slid up her shorts. She had just finished buttoning her shorts when the slider opened, and Tasha stood on the other side.
She was wearing her loose sweatshirt from yesterday and another pair of jeans. She saw Cassie buttoning her shorts and gave her a look somewhere between intrigued and disappointed. She said nothing for a moment then called out to both of us. "Can you come inside and help with the groceries? We are going to help make dinner." Cassie and I followed her inside and Cassie fell behind and was soon saying something with Tasha that you couldn't hear.
After bringing in the groceries, Tasha recounted their day, they had gone to the park and then grabbed lunch and made a run to the store. They had taken her to this nice Mexican place we ordered from for dinner from time to time. My father discussed our options for dinner and then since it was a nice day out, he asked if anyone wanted to enjoy the fire pit and some smores.
I can never resist smores, it was often one of the times he could guarantee I would want to be a part of during these visits. While we prepared dinner, a nice pasta and salad night, Cassie went upstairs to change out of her bikini. I was chopping tomatoes for the salad when she reappeared.
She was wearing her usual shirt and shorts combo, and I could see she was braless again. I lost my focus on my chopping and almost sliced my finger. I caught myself just in time and gave myself a small scratch from the blade. I finished the salad and Cassie, Tasha and I set the table with dressings and toppings for our pasta. We all sat down for dinner and dug in, as I was finishing my salad, Cassie dropped her fork.
She looked down and asked me to get it since it was on my side. I went to get under the table when Tasha pointed out that it was actually closest to her and she grabbed it for her. Cassie thanked her and our meal continued.
She put on a good face while thanking Tasha, but she looked at me and rolled her eyes, clearly annoyed. I had been ignorant of what she was annoyed about and then it hit me. She was playing with me, but Tasha had ruined it.
After cleaning up the table, I was washing plates in the sink when Cassie brought me some last-minute items. She leaned over to whisper in my ear "told you she cock blocks."
I nodded and shrugged "always next time, right?" I turned and looked at her with a hopeful expression. She punched him playfully in the arm, "ass!" she said leaving the room laughing.
It was a warmish night and we all gathered around the fire for smores. My parents took the love seat and Cassie, Tasha, and I sat in chairs, Cassie sat in the middle of the three of us. We sat around the fire chatting while we roasted marshmallows.
Conversation was about the upcoming week, my parents had work during the day, so they asked the girls what they planned to do. Since it would be hard to find work this late in the summer, Tasha planned to go to meetings and events at the church local branch, trying to see if I went to any of the groups.
Since the church really wasn't my scene, I didn't so she tried to persuade me to go. I agreed to go to one that was like a social club, Cassie agreed to tag along to that one as well. She had planned to check out some local spots like the mall as she put it, "I have a two-week Cali vacation planned, sleeping in late, naps in the sun and limited work. I can make friends when school starts. Although I could use the free gifts. Nah, I think I'm good staying here chillaxing."
My father and mother laughed "if you think being here won't mean chores then you are sorely mistaken. You can relax if you like but you will have stuff to do. You both will have chores." Cassie shrugged and Tasha nodded knowingly.
We all had a few smores and made some nice small talk. I made my leave early as I had an early day at work the next day. Even with my nap, the little sleep I had gotten this weekend was always hell on my schedule. I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
The next morning came too early as always but I got up and turned off my alarm. I worked at a small coffee shop and worked a few mornings a week. I got ready in the empty bathroom (an advantage of being up early) and was out the door before the rest of the house awoke.
Work was busy, and as I clocked out, I pulled out my phone, I had a couple texts from Cassie asking when I would be home, and that she was bored. I texted her asking if she was hungry and if Tasha was home to ask her.
She responded with a picture of her naked in the living room her legs crossed covering her pussy and a hand bra covering her tits. I offered to pick her up or bring food home. I thought she would want to hang out at the house since it was empty, but she asked me to pick her up. I swung by the house and she came out to the car in a pair of tight shorts like the ones from yesterday but this time in a bright pink, and a band t-shirt from some group I had not heard of before.
We headed out to a local spot I thought she would enjoy and when we arrived, she was looking around at the place seeing that it was mostly empty. I explained that we had missed the lunch rush as this place was usually packed during the rushes.
She nodded as she sat in the booth across from me and picked up a menu. "What is good here? This is the top-secret Steve spot, so it must be good." I ignored her teasing but very happy she was in a good mood, which could mean she was in a playful mood.
I had a laugh to myself "they have the best fish tacos, if you like that kind of thing." My eyebrows bounced laying the innuendo on thick. She pulled up the menu so she couldn't see me, and I wasn't sure, but I heard her mumble something about hers being better.
I decided to play along and mumbled just loud enough "I will have to find out." She put down her menu and looked at me as I hid playfully behind the menu before picking it up again and saying something about, we will see.
Our server arrived to get our drinks and Cassie asked him a couple of questions "How are your fish tacos? I heard they were delicious but tell me about them. Also, what kind of sauces do you have? I like my food really spicy."
The server answered "Our fish tacos have won some local contests; the fish is fresh caught, and the chef has this blend of spices that have a good amount of heat but are really flavorful. I do know that they can be messy with the sauce. So, you would need a lot of extra napkins."
Cassie nodded approvingly and said, "well then I am ready to order, give me some tasty fish tacos." I decided that they did sound good and ordered some as well, the server nodded and left to get our drinks.
I smiled once the server was gone "So, I guess you do like fish tacos?" Again, Cassie answered my snark with a punch in the arm. "I have had some great fish tacos, but I know mine is the best." She got shy for a second before continuing less confidently "I have never had another fish taco" her air quotes around fish taco, implying that she had never been with another woman and seemed disappointed about it.
The fish tacos arrived shortly and so did a nice pile of napkins. As we chowed down, I kept making jokes about how tasty they were and how wet they were from the sauce, I made sure I got lots of taco around my mouth.
Cassie seemed to enjoy the tacos and enjoyed our little naughty game. After we finished the tacos, we decided to head back to the house. As we were approaching the house Cassie asked if I had work tomorrow morning.
I told her that I had Tuesday and Thursday off for school and hadn't changed my schedule because I liked my time off. I was curious as to why she wanted to know, figuring she wanted to game or something tonight.
We pulled into the driveway and saw that the house was still empty, that meant my parents were out, but we couldn't say for sure about Tasha, who was relying on Uber for the time being. My parents usually rented the visitors a car (if they were old enough) so they would have reliable transport during the semester but hadn't done it yet.
We walked in and found Tasha relaxing in front of the tv watching something animated, Cassie said hello and bounded up the stairs and I decided that maybe I could join Tasha for a bit.
I sat down on the couch opposite Tasha and relaxed into the couch finishing the rest of the episode with Tasha, she was quiet and seemed lost in thought. When the show ended and the show had a commercial break, I turned to look at Tasha, again in her sweatshirt and jeans. "How do you like it in Cali so far?"
She responded without really looking at me, "it is fine so far, I'm excited for the bible study tonight. I am used to having lots of friends and all I have here is Cassie, but she won't do bible study unless I drag her there. The social group meets Thursday night, did I tell you? Are you working that night?"
