As pleasant as it is cuddled up between them, it's also hot! The temperature is well over thirty outside and, even though the air conditioning is on, lying between two warm bodies is a bit uncomfortable. I wake from my dozing and look over at the clock beside the bed.
"Oh, shit!" I exclaim as I jump out of bed, "I have to be at basketball training in ten minutes."
I grab my clothes off the floor, throw my tee shirt over my head, and pull my shorts up. I give them both a little kiss and run out the door with my bra and undies in my hand. For the second time in a day, I sneak back to our house with no underclothes on.
I change into my basketball gear, jump onto my bike and head off to training. Mum has left me the keys to her car, but it will take longer to back it out of the driveway than it will to ride the five minutes to the school hall where we practice.
I get there a minute or two late, and the other girls are doing their stretches when I walk in the door. Our coach says sarcastically, "Oh, nice of you to join us, Sally. Come on, hurry up."
"Um, sorry. I was engrossed in studying and didn't realise the time," I reply. The other girls smile. I get down on the floor and start stretching.
After we've done our stretches we start with a few minutes of warm up running around the hall. I'm running next to Sue who, at the top of her voice, lets out, "Wow, you stink!" She comes over closer and sniffs me. "Um, strawberry is it? And something else that I can't quite place."
"Er, yeah. My new body wash is strawberry scented," I mutter, embarrassed. I move away from her and try to avoid getting too close to anybody for the rest of the session.
After training, I ride home and jump in the shower. I dry off, put on my wrap, and get back to the books. At about four o'clock, I hear my phone beep. It's a text from Liz: "going for pizza for tea. pls join us. 530 OOOXXX:)."
"sounds great," I text back.
I set my phone's alarm for 5:15 and go back to my maths revision. When the alarm goes off, I get dressed into a tank top and short summery skirt. The tank is quite good support, so I skip my bra. Right on 5:30 I hear the toot of a horn out the front. I lock the door and run over to the car which is sitting in their driveway. Liz is driving and Cassie is beside her in the front. Little Liam is in his car seat in the back. I jump into the seat beside him. He turns to me and his eyes light up. I give him a little kiss and play with his hands.
"How was your day with your daddy?" I ask him.
Liz replies, "They had a great time at the local pool. But he's pretty tired. So we thought we'd have an early dinner and he can get to bed."
"Sounds good. Thanks for inviting me."
Liz drives us to a pizza restaurant that I haven't been to before. Our family always go to the one nearest home, but this one is about ten minutes drive away. When we get there, I unbuckle Liam from his seat and lift him out of the car. We decide to sit outside under an umbrella as it's a beautiful warm evening. There are a few tables occupied inside, but we're the only ones sitting out.
A waiter comes out and greets us as we sit. "Good evening, ladies," he says with a slight accent, "and hello Liam."
"Hey Marco," says Liz, "this is Sally."
"Welcome, Sally. I'll get Liam a high chair. Drinks for anybody?"
Cassie holds up a bottle of wine and shows it to him. "Ok, I'll get you some glasses."
He leaves three menus on the table, goes back inside and comes back out with the chair. I put Liam into it and Cassie gives him his juice bottle. We all sit and read the menu.
Liz says, "I don't know why we bother looking at the menu. We always end up ordering the same thing anyway."
"Yeah, what do you get?" I ask.
"A large pizza - half marinara and half mexicana," she replies.
"That sounds good to me too."
"Ok, we'll get a large and a small. We give Liam his baby food while we eat ours."
"I'll just go to the Ladies. Back in a minute." I walk through the restaurant and follow the sign out the back to the toilets.
As I'm walking back to the table, I see a waitress walking ahead of me with three wine glasses in her hands. As she approaches them, I hear her say to Cassie,"Excuse me miss, I can see from all the way back there that you aren't wearing any underw..." Then she notices me and says "Oops, sorry!"
Liz and Cassie both smile and Liz says, "It's ok, Sue. This is our friend, Sally." Then to me, she adds, "Sally, this is Sue."
"Hi Sue," I say. She's in her early twenties with long blonde hair, big boobs, and a big arse. She's wearing a black skirt and a white tee shirt that shows off her cleavage.
"Friend, huh? Hi, Sally", Sue says sarcastically.
"Yes, friend. I think she's jealous!" says Cassie.
Liz explains to me, "Sue has been back to our place many times. She loves playing with Cass and I."
"Ok, I understand," I say knowingly.
Then Sue turns to Liam and gives him a little kiss on the forehead. "How are you, little man?"
He gives her a big smile. I don't think I've ever seen him not smile when he meets somebody. Sue opens our wine and pours it into the three glasses.
