POKER NIGHT – PART THREE
Miriam stirred to wakefulness and groaned. The alarm said noon but it only felt like she had slept for a few minutes. The cocktail of anonymous sex, vodka, and sleeping pills had really kicked her ass – again. The downstairs was tidy and both Tony and Heather appeared to be out of the house already. The only room in disarray appeared to be the game room. An archaic left over from her previous, failed, marriage. Now her college son – and college-bound daughter – used it to entertain their friends. Miriam turned a blind eye to the under aged drinking. The house rule being that the kids surrendered their car keys when they turned up. She didn't worry too much about drugs, both of her kids being smart enough to avoid that pathetic pitfall. . . She was walking through the room toward the kitchen when a familiar smell assailed her nostrils. As hung over and fucked up as she was Miriam knew sex when she smelled it and it was heavy in the air above the card table which filled the center of the room. She knew Tony hosted poker games for the fraternity to avoid gambling on campus but who were the guys having in for sex? Maybe it was high time that she stayed home on a Friday night just to see what was going on. . .
Heather modeled the new lingerie in front of the full-length mirror in her bedroom and even she had to admit that it looked pretty fucking hot on her. Red, not normally her color, looked alright when it was toned down to a 'fire-rose' shade and cut so scantily in certain areas it was almost as though she was not wearing anything at all. There had been time when she had wished that she could have walked into the Poker Night gatherings in not save but her skin, except that would have deprived the guys of the anticipation of winning hands in order to get her out of her clothing.
"What do you think?" Heather asked the black haired and willowy young woman sitting in her desk chair.
"Definitely does not leave very much to the imagination," Offered Chloe. "Crotch-less, right?"
Heather parted the thin stretch of fabric covering her nearly hairless vagina to show that the panties were, indeed, without a functional crotch worthy of being mentioned. She and Chloe turned to the newcomer in the room, a mutual acquaintance of theirs by the unassuming name of Mieko. The petite Asian girl smiled at the impromptu fashion show but did not show much interest in it.
"Nothing? Really," asked Heather, even as she was tugging the material back into place and straightening it.
This was the second time in as many weeks that she and Chloe had tried to bring Mieko into their little sphere of influence and get her involved in the Poker Night ritual. It had been frustrating because her parents were over protective and anal retentive about what she did, where she went, and with whom she was allowed to hang out. Needless to say, she and Chloe were not anywhere near the top of list of friends that she was supposed to be spending a lot of time with. Mieko had actually risked lying to them so that she could be here tonight! The primary reason behind Heather and Chloe's nefarious plot was to help Mieko part ways with her virginity!
Tony lugged in the last case of beer from the car and made sure that the stogies were in the humidor for tonight. No new faces were showing up from the House, but at least those that were could be counted on to keep their mouths shut about what really went on during these poker games. Heather and Chloe were pulling a repeat from the last game but the two of them kept hinting at something special for tonight's 'Big Winner'. Unless they were going to let him fuck both of them at the same time he could not begin to guess what they were talking about. This was going to be their last game before the girls showed up at college and became students so they needed to make it a good one. Tony did one last check of the chips and made sure that the decks of cards were new before heading upstairs to grab a nap. . .
Miriam watched from her window as her son hauled in beer and then spent another half-hour tidying up the game room. She knew all of his fraternity brothers that were coming to the game tonight and knew that they were all legal so there would not be any need to collect keys and driver's licenses. She had already declined several invitations from her own circle of friends. Citing everything from menstrual cramps to a raging case of crabs in order to get out of another night at the clubs that usually ended up in someone's bed. Heather and her two friends, Chloe and Mieko, were in her room and the conversations was about what you would expect from three college bound young women. Men and sex. Without knocking Miriam walked in and found Heather and Chloe standing around in some of the skimpiest lingerie she had ever seen! They also appeared to be handing some of the same to the young woman sitting on the end of her daughter's bed.
"Girls," she started. "What is going on?"
Heather recovered quickly. Having her mother walk in on her was nothing new and she had stopped letting it bother her after she had done so while Heather had been taking those first tentative steps in exploring masturbation.
"Just trying on some new underwear Mom," offered Heather.
"I can see that. What were you talking about? I thought I heard quite a bit about boys and sex." Despite not being fooled into thinking that her daughter was still a virgin for a second Miriam did not think it appropriate to be carrying on such a conversation with someone in the room that seemed to be so reluctant about having sex. If Mieko was NOT a virgin that would have been a real shocker for Miriam.
"Just locker room talk Mom," Heather shrugged. "People we know and who they are sleeping with. The usual bullshit."
"Okay. Put on some clothes and come down for some lunch." Miriam eased the door shut behind herself and leaned against the wall just outside the bedroom door. Could it be her daughter and her friends that were having sex with the fraternity boys? They were all adults – legally. Still, it made her a little uneasy to think that Tony would allow his little sister to have intercourse with his friends. Especially if he were still in the room, or watching while it was being done. What the other two girls did was really none of her affair but now she was more determined than ever to find out what was really going on during her Friday night absences.
Fuck! That had been too damn close. Her mother had obviously been fishing for information. Heather was pretty certain that she had been fooled into thinking that it was just three young women gossiping about who was fucking around with who while they were trying on skimpy bras and barely-there panties. Mieko had looked like she was about to sink through the bed and the floor when Miriam had barged in the room. Fortunately Heather had gotten over that early on in life and having your mother discover you having one of your first orgasms was nothing unusual. The fact that the discovery of her, barely teenage, daughter having a wank had sent her out vibrator shopping for that same daughter was probably not. Heather still had that particular vibrator and it was still one of her favorites too. Now that she suspected that Miriam might be trying to sabotage tonight's game she really needed to talk to Tony and see if he wanted to cancel things or at least move them off to another, more secure, location.
Mieko looked on as Heather seamlessly fed her own mother a line of bullshit and wondered how her friend did such things so easily. She had almost felt like dying when she had lied and made her parent's think that she was staying somewhere else tonight instead of spending time with Heather and Chloe. The two girls were so liberated with their sexuality and that had been an easy draw for Mieko. Always shy and introverted she had never been able to work up the courage to talk to a guy. Let alone ever think of broaching the subject of sex with one.
"Are you onboard, Mieko," asked Chloe.
"I'm just not sure. I always wanted the first time to be . . . you know . . . perfect. Special. Not just another dumb girl in the backseat of her boyfriend's car letting him jump into her panties." Just talking about it was making her nervous.
