My I/T entry for the 2019 Summer Lovin' competition.
Thanks to Rugersp101 for the idea.
And a big thanks to ChloeTzang for letting Trixie come out to play.

"Kids! I'm home! Can you give me a hand please?"
Carol really didn't expect a response from her twins. It was summer holidays, it was hot, they had a pool, and they were still only just teenagers. A couple of months away from their 20th birthdays, but still teens. She shook her head in disbelief. God, where did the time go? She struggled into the kitchen with the bags of shopping and dropped them on the bench. "Alexa, play some summer music." The Beach Boys started singing about Kokomo. Carol sighed. She could do with a cocktail, maybe with a side serve of a hunk like Jack Reacher. Jack Reacher tall from the novel - not the movie sized Tom Cruise version.
"Adam? Sharon?" No answer. They'd be out the back lazing around the pool like normal kids. She snorted. Probably thinking of a new competition to prove who was the best between them. The competitive streak ran deep in them. Just like their dad.
Carol had a quick look out the kitchen window down to the pool. Yep, the kids were there. Her beautiful, tall, reed-thin, dark-haired mistakes. Right on cue, her smart speaker started playing Smokie's "Oh Carol". She growled and yelled "Alexa! Shut the fuck up!" Alexa shut up. She used to like Smokie nearly twenty years ago, but a couple of lines hit very close to home. "Did it with style" her arse...
She met the kids' father, Wayne, at a soccer competition where they were introduced by mutual friends. She was impressed by his tall rugged good looks, sharp wit, and phenomenal ball skills. Unfortunately, she went pear-shaped from that first meeting. That didn't impress anyone. His family insisted that the good Catholic boy from the bush had to marry his new sweetheart, and that was that. He gave the impression he was a happy family man, but he held a grudge tightly against everyone for being forced to marry someone he really didn't care for. As soon as the kids had turned eighteen, he was off snooping around for fresh young tail. Carol sniffed. Well, the Karma bus literally did a number on the cheating shit.
Three stories down from the kitchen was the pool. The house didn't really look that big, but it was built on a steep block of land that had a fantastic view over the valley. Wayne wanted a house that really made an impression on his clients. You drove into the top area looking at a respectable single-story stone-clad building, but you were quickly whisked out to the rear deck by him. You then noticed the rest of the house cascading down the mountain, finishing with an inground pool and entertainment area set well away from the house. Wayne had loved it. Carol hated it. She was the one that had to lug everything up and down the stairs. Wayne was always going to put in a dumb waiter but, like a lot of his ideas, he got sidetracked onto newer and prettier things.
She stopped packing the groceries away and made a cold drink. She looked out the window again and smiled. Ad had his red budgie smugglers on, and Shaz was wearing a similarly small red bikini. The laughter from both kids as they played rolled through the open window. Ad was lying on a towel and Shaz sitting on his legs tickling him. Ad was squirming around, trying to toss Shaz off by bucking his hips. Shaz was trying to stay on by leaning back out of his reach and holding his legs just above his knees - a known ticklish spot on both kids. Carol finished her drink and went back to her work.

Adam and Sharon always had fun together. The two were inseparable friends and inseparable in looks. Dressed as they were by the pool, it was obvious who was who but when they wore the same clothes it was bloody difficult to pick them apart. They loved that and created havoc by swapping themselves in their soccer matches. Nobody could figure out how one kid could play so hard for one half and then come back in the second like nothing happened...
The interesting thing was that they were identical in more than looks. The same personalities, the same interests, the same intelligence, and one more thing. Someone forgot to flick one of the gene switches when Sharon was created, and both kids loved girls. That was an interesting competition topic, which Sharon rarely won. And she hated that.
Sharon had always liked girls, which had gone down really well with her dad. He had ignored the blatantly obvious signs his daughter was gay and just revelled in the fact she showed no interest in guys. Carol knew and quietly told Shaz not to explicitly tell her dad of her feelings. He was a fairly tolerant man, but there were some things he just couldn't get past.
Their family life changed after the twins turned eighteen. They were now at University, the world saw them as adults, and Wayne felt his moral obligations to his kids was over. He figured that his obligations to Carol were over as well. He was only in his late 30's, and still had the good looks that had initially attracted Carol. He really wanted out of the life forced on to him, even though he knew his parents and God would not approve.
Shaz thought her dad, rest his miserable soul, was an arsehole. She had brought home a teammate from her Uni soccer club one day. Wayne saw her and immediately fell in lust. Maria was a German scholarship exchange student and had joined Sharon's team as a goalkeeper. The two got on really well, with Shaz showing Maria around the campus and the town. They'd talked about all sorts of things and inevitably the issue of sex came up. Maria had a fairly liberal view of sex and drunkenly admitted one night she didn't care who was eating her out, as long as it was good. She wasn't keen on any of the guys that had been drooling over her and confided to Shaz during that drinking session that she wouldn't mind tasting some local pussy. Sharon immediately invited Maria back to her place for a swim. Shaz was a bit worried Ad may try and edge his way in but as it turned out, he wasn't the problem. Wayne saw her and was smitten by the young blond-haired, blue-eyed, big titted Frauline. She was wearing a white bikini that was struggling to hold everything together, and he could not keep his eyes from roving over her taught body. He had previously watched her play and was attracted to her goalkeeping skills but seeing her in his house with minimal clothing was very arousing. Couldn't stand up arousing.
After some very physically close conversations, Wayne offered Maria a paid internship with his accountancy firm which she readily accepted. He even offered her a car to use - Carol's 1978 Volkswagen Golf GTi. Wayne tried to rationalise it to Carol by saying he'd get her a new company car, and he was being considerate to Sharon's friend. He bought Carol a new Passat, but it wasn't her beloved Golf. She hated it.
Carol wasn't an idiot and knew damn well what was going on. She really went to town on her husband, accusing him of breaking every commandment he had been so steadfast in upholding over the years. He tried to deny being unfaithful, but Carol slammed an open condom packet she found in her car - the Golf, which was Her Car! - on the table. He mumbled about being tempted by the devil and scuttled out. That was basically the end of that. Not long after, Wayne was driving the Golf back from the mechanics and missed seeing that he was entering an intersection. Twenty four tons of Karma flattened the poor Volksie. The Police officially determined that the cause of the accident was that Wayne had been distracted and missed seeing the stop sign. Unofficially, he was sexting at the time. His dick was out, his phone was in one hand, and he wound up with a Volvo bus in his lap. Shortly after, a distraught Maria went home to Germany. Both Carol and Sharon were very happy to see her go.
Fortunately for the family, Wayne loved managing minute details and he had structured his business so it could function smoothly in his absence. Carol was pretty happy about that. The dead prick did some things right.

That was a bit over 12 months ago. The grief period came and went quickly, especially when it became known Wayne was working solo while driving. Adam was still a bit sad at times, but Carol and Sharon still held some deep resentment for his betrayal and hypocrisy.
Both kids had some part-time work as well as uni, but now, in the middle of a warm early summers day, they just lazed about by the pool doing not a lot.
