Chapter 2 - Kelli's Situation
Kelli Anne Valentine sipped on her 3rd Pina Colada while waiting for her sister-in-law to show up and join her for lunch. Lacey had many endearing qualities, but punctuality was not among them. Her sister-in-law had been 15 minutes late for her own wedding.
Kelli contemplated having a 4th drink and getting totally sauced. She didn't want to go back home to 291 Fischer Drive and to her husband, Ewan. She knew they would just rehash the same old issues. Her spending, his obsession with sports and their sex life. That was the top of her list, the sex she had enjoyed with Ewan had fizzled to a few times a month. When the high school sweethearts had finally given in to their urges all those years ago, they couldn't keep their hands off each other. Now she wasn't even sure she wanted to stay married to him.
She wasn't sure if she should share any of this with Lacey, even though they were best friends. Ewan was Lacey's brother, after all and she had followed him around since they were all kids. It was odd, because Lacey Spicer had married Kelli's older brother Gus in a lavish double wedding. Their parents were thrilled and held barbecues and family get-togethers as often as everyone's schedule would allow. The girls had grown up together, had classes together and been BFF's as long as anyone could remember. You rarely saw Lacey without Kelli close behind. Ewan sometimes grumbled his sister and his wife were too close, but nowadays there wasn't much that Ewan
didn't
grumble about.
Kelli sighed as she saw Lacey entering the pub. She waved her hand to signal her sister-in-law and knew she would likely confess her marital woes. She and Lacey had shared every secret they had since childhood. Why should this one be any different?
Curvy and luscious, Lacey commanded attention wherever she went, even dressed casually as she was today. Kelli's best friend might only have been 5'2" in height, but she packed a wallop. Her 34DD-26-34 figure was always on display, Lacey's attitude had always been "I've got it and I'm flaunting it." Lacey had developed early and used it to her full advantage. In high school, Lacey had never lacked suitors or tutors. Lacey laughed about not being the smartest kid in school, but joked "with a rack like mine, who the fuck needs brains?"
Kelli stood up and gave her sister-in-law a hug. She was in a pair of shortie-shorts and a sheer black top that ended just under her breasts, which were nicely displayed. A waiter appeared as if out of nowhere to take their order.
"I wish I could get Ewan to react like that," Kelli sighed.
"Things still not good at home?" Lacey questioned, sipping her vodka Martini.
"Awful," Kelli replied. "I know he's your brother and you love him, but I'm not sure how much longer I can stay with a man who would rather watch football than have sex with his wife."
"He's an idiot, although you do tend to be a bit conservative when you dress," Lacey told her. Kelli was wearing a nice white blouse and black skirt which fit her nicely, although it was a far cry from Lacey's daring attire.
"I don't flaunt myself in public, but if you were to look underneath my clothes, you'd find I'm wearing a very sexy bra, tiny black silk thong and real silk stockings," Kelli told her as she ordered the much-needed 4th drink. "I love expensive lingerie but Ewan never seems to notice that I wear this stuff for him."
"I usually put on something sexy for Gus after the big game and we go at it," Lacey smiled. "He says it drives him crazy having to wait until after sports for sex, but watching the game is a ritual in our family. What are ya gonna do when you have a football coach for a dad?"
Kelli chuckled and flashed a toothy grin at her sister-in-law. "I don't mind that he likes sports, but it isn't the only thing in the world."
Lacey recoiled in mock horror. "Sacrilege! I can never get your brother to watch more than 15 minutes of a game with me and he's always bugging me to be sensual and romantic in the bedroom."
"Too bad we can't switch husbands," Kelli sighed as the waiter arrived with her drink.
"Yeah, too bad," Lacey smiled. "Hey ... why
can't
we?"
Kelli looked at Lacey like the girl had just lost her mind. "Well, for one thing, the guys would never agree to it and for another, we'd be fucking our brothers! In case you hadn't heard, that's
incest!
"
Lacey nodded. "I think the guys would agree to it and as for Ewan and me, it actually wouldn't be the
first
time."
