This is the 4th installment in the Girl Scout Moms series. You should probably read the first 3 stories before starting this one.

"Game On" the text read. It was from Jill. I had a pretty good idea that meant the 70% Club's team seduction of Jill's friend Stephanie, which was confirmed by a quick call from Jill.
Jill had already spoken to Anna and explained that she would be meeting Stephanie for happy hour at KYU, a restaurant in Wynwood on Friday night. Jill had confirmed that Stephanie's ex had her kids that weekend and she would be able to make it a late night, or sleepover, if necessary. Stephanie, of course, had no idea about any potential sleepover plans. Nor did she know that Anna and I would also be there and we would "bump" into Jill and join them. At the appropriate time, as signaled by Jill.
Jill and Stephanie got there first and started with some drinks and snacks in the bar area. Jill was mindful of the EFFECTS rules Anna had taught us and was working the first E (Eye Contact) and F (Flattery), telling Stephanie how great she looked, how fit she had gotten, and even how her breasts still seemed to defy the laws of physics despite her age and post-divorce weight loss. Stephanie was pretty recently divorced and Jill started asking about her dating life.
"Sooo, how is single life treating you?" Jill asked. "I hope you are keeping Ms. Coochie busy and satiated." They both laughed.
"She's keeping busy, but I've mostly been feeding her artificial sausage," Stephanie said with a chuckle. "Guys suck"
This was a good sign -- time to move on to the second F in the EFFECTS system -- Frustration.
"In my experience, they don't suck enough," Jill noted with a pause. "Or I guess I should say 'lick enough.'"
"Tell me about it -- I've been on a lot of dates and slept with a few guys, but they just want to jump straight to fucking. No foreplay. And most are just douchebags anyhow."
Jill saw the opportunity to move the conversation to girl-girl action before signaling to me and Anna to come in. We were having a drink in a place two doors down waiting for the text from Jill.
"You know," Jill started, "I'd have expected you to try out for the other team after your divorce."
Stephanie looked at her with puzzlement before Jill continued, "Maybe even try to track down the soccer girl from the Sig Ep party." Jill winked and flashed a devilish smile.
Stephanie blushed a deep shade of crimson as her memory brought her back to the dance floor during that fraternity party when she danced with, and kissed, the hot girl from the soccer team. But she recovered -- "What makes you think I haven't tried out for that team?" Stephanie winked back.
"Have you?" Jill asked.
"No, but if the dating game doesn't get better, I may have to consider it."
Jill decided now was the time to give Anna and me the signal to come over. "Hold that thought -- I need to go to the ladies room." Jill got up and took her phone to the restroom where she texted us a simple "Thumbs Up" emoji, our pre-set signal.
We had agreed to "bump" into Jill as we entered the restaurant and Jill was returning from the restroom. She gave us a very quick update and what was going on and then led us over to the table where Stephanie was sipping her drink. I had met Stephanie several times before and we did the friendly kiss and hug thing. Jill introduced Anna and Stephanie to one another and asked us to join them at their table.
Stephanie looked a little surprised as their conversation had started getting intimate, but what could she say? After making clear that we didn't want to intrude, they assured us we weren't and we sat down.
"So where were we?" Jill asked looking at Stephanie. "Oh yeah, you were about to tell me about how you are thinking of dykeing out."
Stephanie again turned red and started to protest when I jumped in with the old Seinfeld line: "Not that there's anything wrong with that." Everyone laughed and the tension was broken a little.
"Oooh, Katerina, got any experiences you want to share with us," Anna asked me.
"Nothing too interesting. Maybe a drunken kiss or friendly fondle back in the day, but nothing serious," I said, giggling a little.
"You two," Jill said, pointing at Stephanie and me, "have a lot in common. You are both drunken friendly fondlers from way back."
Stephanie shot Jill a look of annoyance. I thought she might have gone too far. Jill tried to lighten the mood, saying playfully "Big cats are dangerous, but a little pussy never hurt anyone." I remembered Jill saying that line on the girl scout camping trip as things were getting "interesting."
We all laughed, including Stephanie. Anna jumped in, saying "you two would make a super hot couple."
"I gotta admit," I said looking at Stephanie's chest, "those boobs are pretty spectacular."
"And I gotta admit," Stephanie said to me, "you are one sexy bitch!"
"Stephanie!!" we heard from a distance, as a beautiful Asian woman approached our table. She and Stephanie hugged and Stephanie introduced her as Diane, a co-worker in the PR firm where Stephanie worked. She was beautiful and petite -- probably not even 5 ft tall, but with large breasts for her size. It turns out she was Filipino with long brown hair and a very energetic, bubbly personality. She was around 30, so at least 10 years younger than any of the rest of us.
Diane stayed and joined the conversation for an hour or so. And, while we all liked her, I was worried that her presence was killing our seduction plan. I don't think any of us knew how to keep the conversation on its prior sexy path with this new addition. But we were all having a good time and were enjoying the food and drinks. It seemed like we would just have to chalk it up as a failed seduction of Stephanie.
Diane said "Why are we all buying ourselves $15 drinks? We should either start trying to get guys to buy them for us, or come back to my place and drink for free. I've got plenty of wine and booze and I live just a few blocks away."
Realizing that trying to get guys to buy our drinks would surely kill the seduction plan, Anna chimed in "That's a great idea -- let's go to your place." We all looked at each other and Jill and I both said we were game. Stephanie, on the other hand, seemed hesitant. "C'mon" we all said. "Let's do this." Stephanie reluctantly agreed and we got up to head to Diane's place.
As we were walking, Diane and Stephanie had paired up and were walking and talking about 10 yards ahead. The enabled Jill, Anna and me to have a little pow-wow.
"Is the plan still on?" I asked.
"Hell yeah," Anna said, "we are going for the double-play."
"Are you sure we are ready for that? We are rookies," Jill said.
"Only one way to find out," Anna said.
When we got to Diane's place, there wasn't enough seating on the sofa, so we pulled the coffee table away a little and all sat on the floor around it. Diane opened a bottle of tequila. The good stuff -- Don Julio 1942. My ex-boyfriend was a big tequila connoisseur and I had tried it with him.
