Steve Williams and Jennifer Knight have been best friends for as long as they could remember. They lived across the street from each other and have grown up together. They have been in school together since the first grade and are now both 18 and will be going into their senior year of high school once the summer is over.
Jennifer was the typical girl next door type. She was a slim, cute brunette standing about 5 foot 8 inches in height. She had smallish B cup breasts and weighed 125 lbs when soaking wet. She was pretty but she never piled on the make-up and because of this, she tended to blend into the crowd around other girls. She was on the school track team and although she wasn't a natural at it, she worked hard and was good enough to make every one of her races competitive. The upside of track was that Jen was very fit and toned, having almost no excess body fat. There was no other way to describe Jen's ass but to say that it was amazing! It was by far Steve's favorite thing about her body. Her behind looked great in tight jeans, in yoga pants or in her loose running shorts that were a particular favorite of Steve's. Hell, her ass even looked great in plain old track pants too. Occasionally, when Jen and Steve would be having a few drinks, they would get into tickle fights or start play wrestling and Steve would do his absolute best to find some excuse to grab a handful of her ass, all by accident of course.
As for Steve, he was 5 foot 10 inches and weighed about 150 lbs. He didn't have much muscle but he was reasonably fit. All in All, he was pretty much just a typical teenage boy. He wasn't into any sports but he did sometimes go jogging with Jen when she wanted some company. Steve would usually fall just a pace or two behind her when they were jogging, mostly because Jen was in better shape than him but also because he could see her shape better from back there. As well as being the main reason he ever went jogging, Jen was also the reason Steve was half decent at school. They would often do their homework together or have study sessions before tests. Steve didn't care as much about the school work as he should have but he did like to hang out with his friend.
Although the 2 of them were best friends, Steve and Jen tended to have separate social lives at school. It was just sort of inevitable that the guys would hang around with the guys and the girls would hang around with the girls and they were no exception. They mostly saw each other outside of school when they would hang out together at one or the others home. Jen and Steve were at best middle of the road types in the popularity contest at school. They always had people to hangout with but neither of them ever really hit it off with the opposite sex and neither of them had any real dating experience. It sometimes occurred to them that hanging out together so much after school might have caused potential dates to think twice about going out with either of them.
When Steve was 10, his parents had given him a set of walkie-talkies for his birthday and after a while he had given the second one to Jen. Their parents hadn't given them cell phones at that age so they used those walkie-talkies as a way to secretly talk to each other without anyone else knowing. They would use those walkie-talkies to invite each other over to hangout or just have secret talks. Mostly these talks were just the friends goofing around and teasing each other but the older they got the more adult their teasing tended to be. But in the end, they were just best friends and had never gone any further then a little harmless teasing and just having fun. Even after they got phones, they still used the walkie-talkies as their usual way to talk to each other and only called or texted if they really had too.
Earlier in the week, Jen had called Steve on their walkie-talkies and invited him to tag along with her, her mom Daisy and her bother Mark to the beach. To Steve, Jen's mom was a hottie just like Jen. She had kept herself in great shape and simply looked like the woman Jen would become when she was finished growing up. The idea of seeing these two lovely ladies in bikinis made it an easy decision for Steve and he agreed to meet everyone at Jen's house mid morning on Friday and they would all go together in Jen's mother's car. Jen told Steve that all he would need to bring was himself and then teased that bringing his swimming trunks was optional. Steve teased right back with "in your dreams Jen. I'll see you on Friday." Steve had two 6 packs of beer squirreled away and decided that he would bring those and his swim trunks to the beach on Friday.
Steve got up as usual on Friday morning, he had some breakfast, put on his swim trunks and some track pants overtop. He packed a towel, a pair of boxers to change into and the 2 six packs into a backpack and set of across the street to Jen's house. He knocked on the door and Jen's mother Daisy answered. Since Steve had all but grown up with Jen's family, Daisy had long ago asked him to call her Aunt Daisy instead of Mrs. Knight and by this time they had shorten it to Aunt D. Daisy worked at an upscale lounge as a bar tender. It wasn't like a bar where young people would get drunk and party all night. Her lounge catered to a slightly older and wealthy clientele or so Daisy said. In Steve's mind, the only difference was probably that the drinks cost a lot more at the lounge but he kept his opinion to himself.
"Good morning Steve, are you here to see Jen?" Daisy asked as she invited him into the living room.
"Well yea I guess" Steve answered a little confused. "I thought we were all going to the beach today Aunt D."
"Oh, Jen didn't tell you? I got asked to work the late shift at the lounge tonight so I need to stay home and get in some cat naps before my shift, I'm scheduled until 2:00 AM tonight."
"Oh, ah, no. Jen didn't tell me" he answered. Turning to Mark, who was sitting on the couch watching TV Steve asked "so it's just us and Jen then Mark?"
"No" said Mark. "I'm going to go see some friends instead since Mom isn't making me go anymore."
"I thought Jen was going to call you to cancel. She's upstairs in her room, let me get her down here for you" Daisy said and she went upstairs to get Jen.
"Where's your dad?" Steve asked Mark while waiting for Jen to come down. Jen and Mark's dad was a sales associate for a farm equipment company. Steve had always thought their dad was a little bit of a creep. From what Steve knew, their parents had started dating when Daisy was in high school and even though their dad was ten years older then Daisy, it hadn't take long for Daisy to get pregnant with Jen and a wedding had soon followed.
"He's on a sales trip in Edmonton, you know, like the Edmonton Oilers, up in Canada" Mark answered.
"Oh" said Steve. "Why does an oil company need farm equipment?"
"Their not an oil company, their a hockey team!" Mark answered.
While Steve really wasn't into sports, Mark's world sometimes seemed to revolve around sports and this sometimes made Steve feel sort of dumb when talking to Mark but Steve kept trying to make small talk. "Is your dad going to catch a hockey game while he's up there?"
Seeing Mark put his head in his hands was Steve's first clue he had said something stupid. "No, he's not going to see a hockey game, its the middle of summer!" Steve must have had a blank look on his face for Mark added "they don't play hockey in the summer!" It was safe to say that Mark and Steve were not fast friends.
Finally Steve saw Jen coming out of her room. She had her hair in a messy ponytail and was still dressed in her PJs. Steve thought they were great PJs, she was wearing a light T-shirt and some loose fitting short shorts which he had a great view of as she came down the stairs.
"Oh hey Steve, Mom told me I forgot to let you know we were cancelling the beach trip today, its too bad too because its looking like such a beautiful day" Jen said as she came down the stairs.
Daisy then spoke up saying "you know, you two can still go if you want, as long as you're back by 4 O'clock with the car I'll still have plenty of time to get ready and get to work." Jen and Steve shared a look with each other and Steve shrugged his shoulders and hefted his beach bag as if to say he still wanted to go. "You go dressed and throw your stuff in a bag" Daisy told Jen, "I'll quickly make some snacks for you guys to share at the beach."
In just a few minutes Jen was dressed. She had changed into what were in, Steve's opinion, some amazing and by that he meant super tight black yoga pants and a blue tank top, she had redone her ponytail and packed her beach stuff into a bag. Mrs. Knight had a bunch of snacks packed and readied for them and since there was nothing to do but to go, they jumped into Jen's mother's car with Jen behind the wheel and set off.
