To celebrate my 18th birthday, my best friend Lily invited me to stay at her house while her parents were gone for the weekend. She promised that it would be a weekend filled with lots of girl-time -- pedicures, face masks, cookie dough, and lots of time to talk about boys. I knew that it was also because she hated being in her house alone.
After my grandparents left on my actual birthday on Wednesday, I called Lily to find out what I needed to bring.
"Nothing!" She assured me. "This weekend is my gift to you, and you don't need to bring anything at all."
"Ok. Let me know at school tomorrow if you can think of anything. I'll bring it with me on Friday so we can go right to your house after school."
"Now that I think of it, could you bring your turquoise nail polish? Oh, and maybe your fake eyelashes. And what about-" Lily started reeling off a list of the things that she wanted.
"Hang on," I laughed. "I need to write this down."

"Lily!" I called as I opened the front door. "Sorry I'm late. We had a last-minute practice after school."
Lily met me at the door with fire in her eyes. "Hrumph!" She snorted.
"I'm sorry," I apologized again. "But at least I won't have practice tomorrow morning. I'm ready to stay until Monday morning!"
"It's not that." She huffed again and rolled her eyes. "Guess who decided to come home for the weekend?" She gestured to the kitchen. I felt a fluttering in my stomach as I saw her brother, Grant, making himself a sandwich at the kitchen counter.
"G-Grant's here?" I sputtered.
"I'm just as mad as you! He said that he wanted to come home and do laundry, but I know that Mom and Dad sent him so we wouldn't have a party." She folded her arms and huffed yet again.
"Party?" I laughed. "Lily, we've never partied a day in our lives. It's ok, I like Grant just fine." The truth was, I had a crush on Grant ever since I was a little girl, and he pushed Billy Connors into the pool. Billy said that my bathing suit gave me a fat bum. Grant overheard him, and pushed him into the pool.
"Whatever. Let's go have some supper." Lily turned and I followed her into the kitchen. "Grant, can you get out of here? We're going to order some pizza."
"Mm, order me some too, please. I like pepperoni." He handed Lily the handset to the phone as he shoved the sandwich into his mouth.
"Aren't you eating supper right now?" Lily scowled as she dialed the number.
"Naw, just warming up." He winked at me, and I nearly fainted then and there. "So, what's new with you, Sue? How's 18 treating you?"
"Oh, you know." I said, averting his gaze. I began to trace the marbling pattern on the counter with my finger so I didn't have to look up into his green eyes.
"Susie! Tell me that you remembered to bring your bathing suit!" Lily exclaimed as she put the phone back onto the charger.
"Um, yeah." I hesitated. I brought my string bikini that I always wear when hanging out at Lily's, but not when I know that other people are watching me.
"Let's go hop in the hot tub while we're waiting. The guy on the phone said that it would be 40 minutes. They're a little backlogged tonight." Lily ran up to her room to get changed.
"Mind if I hop in, too?" Grant asked, smiling at me again.
"Sure," I managed to look him in the eye this time and smile back.
"Ew, no." Lily called out from halfway up the stairs.
"Sorry, birthday girl overrules." Grant was already in his trunks. As he headed out to the backyard into the hot tub, he pulled his shirt over his head, and I got a brief glace at his abs and the line of hair that ran down to his trunks before he turned and walked out the door.
"SUSIE!" Lily called from her room. "Hurry up and change!"

I threw my t-shirt back on over top of my bathing suit, and went out to the backyard to get in the hot tub with Lily and Grant.
"What do you have that on for? You look ridiculous. Take off that shirt and get your butt in here." Lily started grabbing at the hem of my shirt to encourage me to take it off. I felt my cheeks redden as I lifted it over my head and I quickly immersed myself into the hot tub, hoping to lessen the time that my flesh was exposed to the air.
My embarrassment subsided quickly as I laughed at the stories that Grant shared from university. After about half an hour, Lily jumped out of the hot tub to go wait for the pizza delivery. Grant reached over the side of the tub and pulled a vodka cooler out of the cooler that was set up beside the hot tub.
"I wanted to apologize in case I killed any hopes that the two of you had for having a raging party for your birthday." He said as he handed me the cooler. He grabbed himself a beer.
"We had no plans for that. We were going to give ourselves pedicures and watch sappy movies all weekend." I laughed. "Thank you. My first drink as a legal adult." I tapped the neck of my bottle gently against his.
"Cheers to the provinces with lower drinking ages." He smiled as he took the first drink of his beer. "I know Lily doesn't drink, so I don't want you to feel obligated to drink that."
"No, I like this flavour. I may have stolen one or two from my mother's cooler last summer." I smiled as I took the first drink. I don't drink often, so I could feel the alcohol immediately begin to spread its warmth through me. When Grant handed me the drink, he moved over so he was sitting next to me. He hadn't moved back yet, and I was enjoying having him sit next to me. I finished my drink just as he was finishing his. He took the bottle from me and placed the two of them on the ledge beside him.
"I like your bathing suit. The colour really suits you." His finger reached up and traced the string where it reached up around my neck. I could feel my face starting to redden again. "I was wondering-" he was suddenly interrupted by Lily yelling for us to come and get some pizza.

That evening the feasting began. Popcorn, licorice, chocolate bars, and any other junk food we could find was carted into the den so we could start our movie marathon. Lily claimed the leather recliner that her father normally laid in. I planned on lying on the couch. As Lily was queuing up what we would watch on Netflix, Grant come into the room.
"I love this one!" He said as he sat down on the couch.
As we watched the movie, I was very aware that he was sitting on the other side of the popcorn bowl. I honestly paid more attention to him than to the movie. I had already seen it, so I didn't care. I tried timing when I'd reach for the popcorn so our hands could briefly touch.
About 30 minutes into the movie, I could hear snoring coming from the recliner. Lily had the foot of the recliner up, the back pressed down, and was snoring like her father did on Sunday afternoons.
"Wow, the genetics are strong in that one." Grant laughed. I picked up a pillow to throw at her, but Grant took it from my hand. "If you don't mind, I'd rather that she slept. It's a little quieter without her constant commentary." He also moved the popcorn bowl off the couch so there was nothing between us. I tried to recall what I had read in a magazine that I had read in the doctor's office about the subtle signs we send to let others know that we like them.
But all of that didn't matter. My train of thought was broken when I felt Grant poke my knee. "Are those hot dogs on your pyjama pants?"
"Ha, yes they are." I laughed. Grant didn't move his hand. He kept it on my knee and moved in so he was leaning toward me. I leaned a little toward him, and soon my head was resting on his shoulder. We stayed that way for about ten minutes before I excused myself to get a drink of water.
As I was standing at the counter filling my glass at the sink, I felt Grant come behind me and put his hands on my waist. I turned to face him. He pulled me in close to him and his lips met mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck as my mouth opened against his. Both of our pyjama pants were made of thin fabric, and I could feel his cock start to rise against me.
"Mm," he moaned. "I've wanted to do this forever. I can't believe that we waited this long."
"Yeah," I smiled back at him. "This is pretty nice."
"Feel like another dip in the hot tub?" He grinned at me. This time I didn't hesitate to get back into my bikini.
We had changed into our bathing suits and were into the hot tub in record time. We started off sitting beside each other and kissing, but soon I found myself straddling his legs and facing him. It felt so nice to have his hands all over my bare back. I could feel his hard cock through his swim trunks, and I started slowly rubbing myself against it. Grant responded to what I was doing and started gently thrusting in time with me.
"Do you mind if I untie this?" He asked, his fingers holding the end of the strings of the top as he kissed my neck.
"Please do." I felt the tie at the top of my neck let go, and suddenly I was bare chested against Grant's bare chest.
"Fuck, you're perfect." He breathed as his thumbs grazed my nipples. They immediately became erect at his touch. Every part of my body was begging for more. He rubbed his thumbs over my nipples more intently as he began kissing me again. I started rubbing my lower half into his so I could feel the shaft of his cock rubbing against my clit. I moaned as he lifted one of my breasts to his mouth and flicked my nipple rapidly with his tongue.
"That's amazing." I moaned as he brought me close to climax. I wrapped my arms around his neck again and brought him in close to me and kissed him again.
"I hate to break this up, but I need to get up early to meet some friends for a run. I'm not going to leave you hanging, though." He whispered in my ear as his hand reach down in between my legs. I gasped as he moved the fabric to one side.
