The curling waves broke the silence around them gently. Steve and his best friend Alex sat in canvas chairs on the waters edge, fishing rods in holders in front of them, a bottle of whisky between them and a bucket off to the side on the off chance they actually caught anything. Their boys trip camping and fishing on Lord Morrison Island was just a good chance for them to have a catch up and unwind, whether they actually caught any fish was a bonus.
The sun was setting behind them as they watched the sky change colour and sipped at their glasses. Alex sighed. "Reckon the girls are at the hotel yet?"
"I doubt it, Laurie had to drop Angus at her mum's and she wouldn't have done that until he had had his afternoon nap. They're probably on the way there now" replied Steve. For him with a six month old baby at home, this was time he could unwind without worrying about feeding schedules or dirty nappies, and he was glad Alex's girlfriend Danny had managed to convince Laurie to use her mother's
'always welcome to have him'
babysitting services, and have a long weekend herself in the city getting pampered and having fun. Both of them enjoyed parenthood enormously, but from time to time Steve worried Laurie might forget that she was allowed to be the woman she was before becoming a mother.
"Sure. Danny is excited, she reckons she's taking Laurie to a club she used to work at. They've got some cover band in tonight that she's excited about for some reason" said Alex.
Steve laughed. "I can tell you why, Laurie showed me the Facebook event: It's 'BoyToy BoyBand'."
Alex blinked. "What the
fuck
is
'BoyToy BoyBand'
?"
"Well, supposedly they are a group of mates that sing boyband hits from the 90's. They do the whole thing where one of them is the 'cool one', the 'broody one', the 'fun one'" explained Steve. "But as well as that, the lot of them work as male models in between singing gigs. Apparently two of them are strippers for bachelorette parties too if you believe it."
"Well they reckon it's important to be multi-skilled these days," laughed Alex. "Guess the girls will get their money's worth then."
Steve agreed.
"Even after all that dude flesh though, I think Danny might have plans to pull Laurie into a strip club before they go back to the room."
"Well...alright then, I guess," said Steve, refilling his drink. "I'd think a boyband stripper would be enough but I guess it's not exactly personal service."
"No no," grinned Alex, "I think she meant a female strip club."
Steve tilted the bottle away from his glass quickly. "I'm sorry?"
"You heard me. Danny said she wanted to see some tits while she's out in the city," said Alex. "Probably a private dance so she can get to feel some too."
"Why though?" asked Steve.
"Well, to be honest I think she sort of swings both ways. At least, she likes dick too much to commit to the home team, but she still likes to go around the bases with them? Something like that."
"And you're alright with that?" Steve asked curiously.
Alex shrugged. "You make allowances for the people you love. I know she loves me too and won't leave me for a stripper, so I don't think it's something I need to get jealous over."
Steve thought back to a situation between Laurie and a neighbour of theirs some months before, and had to concede Alex may have a point. "Yeah, I guess you do" he said. "Still, I don't know how successful she's going to be. I hope if it doesn't work out that Danny isn't too disappointed if the only tits she sees all night are Laurie's."
...
Laurie sped through the narrow city streets in her car, overtaking every slower car and accelerating through yellow lights, with Danny in the passenger's seat shuffling through songs on the playlist she made for the car ride in to pump them up for their night reliving their childhoods. With cocktails.
Laurie glanced nervously at Danny. "Sorry again about it taking so long at mum's" she said.
Danny shrugged. "Don't worry about it. I've got one too. I know how much they had suddenly have to tell you right as you're trying to get out the door."
Laurie smiled and nodded, but didn't quite meet Danny's eye. While she had told Danny that her mother suddenly felt it necessary to discuss in depth about her aunt's breast augmentation surgery holiday to Thailand, in actuality it had been that at the very moment she was saying goodbye was the same time Angus decided he was hungry. Laurie on one hand was relieved, as she was feeling pretty full and hadn't been looking forward to driving an hour into the city already engorged, but Danny had sat in the car for twenty minutes as she nursed Angus and expressed more of her milk into the sink, assuming Laurie was just going in and out. And now they were going to be late to check in at the hotel and dinner reservations if they didn't hurry. At the very least, Danny didn't seem bothered, which Laurie was grateful for.
"So are you excited?" asked Danny.
"Yeah, really excited! A night out without the baby, drinking and listening to hot guys sing songs I was into when I was eight? Honestly I'm really pumped for it" exclaimed Laurie.
Danny smiled at her enthusiasm.
"So, you said you used to work at the place we're going to?" asked Laurie.
"Yeah, a few years before me and Alex started going out. Found out that the old bar supervisor they ended up getting a few sexual harassment claims put on him by staff members after I left, so maybe it was a good time to leave" Danny finished simply.
"Wow," said Laurie.
Danny just shrugged as if saying 'it happens'. "Anyway, my old venue manager still works there and he's getting us in for free and some basics on the house."
Laurie smiled. Leave it to Danny to get the night started right.
Another twenty minutes and they were parked and at the front desk of their hotel. A quick exchange with the concierge and a credit card number left as deposit, and the two women were quickly up the elevator and pushing their cardkey into the door.
Their room was pretty standard in so far as having two adjoining bedrooms, a bathroom between them and coffee making facilities. What surprised Laurie was that the main area of their room, having a view of the city below through their wall to wall windowing, also housed a rather large hot tub.
"Um, I don't remember paying for a room with that" she said.
Danny shrugged. "I found a deal for an upgrade with one. I thought it would be nice."
'Trust Danny'
, thought Laurie. "But I didn't bring anything to swim in" she said.
"I brought a swimsuit for you. I had to guess your size but I think I've got it pretty right. If not, well it's only me after all."
Laurie smiled and said thanks, but internally she was a little worried. Danny had known generally what sizes in things Laurie was from their shopping dates before having Angus, but her post baby body was still 'more' than it had been. She was lost a good deal of her pregnancy weight, but her waist, thighs and ass had settled on holding five to ten pounds more than they had before, and while she was back down to a 32 bra measurement, Angus and Steve's devotion to her breasts had finally caused them to settle snuggly into an F cup. Silently she prayed that whatever Danny had brought had the material to cover the new proportions of her body.
They chose rooms, unpacked what they needed immediately and changed so they could quickly run down to the hotel restaurant and eat. Laurie wore red button up halter neck top that being a pre-pregnancy item fit a bit snuggly, with a nice skirt and flats. She had wanted to wear jeans but dejectedly admitted her waist had thickened when she tried them on at home and she couldn't bring the button to the loop hole. Danny knocked on the door and let herself in. Laurie studied her and her clothes. She was a full foot shorter than Laurie. Her bust was smaller than Laurie's, though only by a few sizes, her waist was tiny, hips ridiculously wide and ass shapely. She was wearing a sandy coloured dress that cinched at the waist and hugged her hips, breasts and bottom, and had paired it with a complimenting set of heels. Looking at her friend, Laurie didn't think for a moment they would have any trouble finding someone to pay for their drinks all night.
"You look so hot Laurie!" exclaimed Danny, running over to look at her closer.
Laurie reddened in the face, feeling a little self-conscious. This was the first time she was going out since she had started showing nearly a year ago and wasn't totally confident in herself. Danny seemed to pick on her friend's internal distress and started complimenting everything about Laurie she could see. "And your tits. I mean... damn!" she ended.
