Jennifer had been home for over three weeks now. Although I was happy to have my friend back, I missed playing house and having free access to Hal. The pleasure derived from late night trips to each other's bedrooms had begun to stale. The sneaking around and silent love making in the still of the night had become a burden; I needed to scream and moan loudly while Hal gave me what I needed. The same question found its way to my mind over and over, "Was it time to tell Jennifer now?"
I was startled from my pondering my next steps when Jennifer burst open my door and dove in bed with me. Quickly she pulled the covers back and slid under them before laying back and turning her face to within an inch of mine.
"My dad is seeing someone!" Her eyes flashed. "Do you know who it is?"
I choked on my words, "He is? How do you know?"
"I found a pair of panties in his room when I was cleaning." Her face was smug at the evidence. "You haven't seen or heard anything? He's probably just being secretive to protect my feelings."
"No, but now you have me curious." I was relieved to not be suspect.
"Do you know what we should do?" Her dark eyes flashed with her rhetorical question, "We should go out for the night and give him some privacy."
My heart sank; there wasn't anything I wanted more than to have her out for the evening while I spent time with Hal. "That's a great idea Jennifer." My words came out weakly.
"I have it all planned out. Your mom is lonely so we are going to have a sleep over there." She smiled proudly.
"My mom is gone to my aunts for the week." I frowned.
Jennifer brushed me off with a hand, "He doesn't know that. Does he?"
I shook my head, "No."
"Perfect! We are going to have so much fun. I have a couple friends coming from school that are renting a hotel we can stay at."
"What?" Jennifer frowned when I made a puzzled face, "What friends?"
With a roll of her eyes and a dismissing hand gesture she responded, "You worry too much. These guys are awesome."
That night after Hal snuck in and made love to me in my bed, I told him about the conversation with Jennifer and her master plan to leave him alone so he could have his girlfriend come visit. When I mentioned the double date she had planned for us, Hal just smiled and kissed me.
"You are a beautiful young woman. You should be out meeting guys your age." He kissed me again.
I pouted, "But I want you."
Saturday came quicker than I could ever want; it was the first time I dreaded a shopping trip with Jennifer. We were shopping for date clothes and I just couldn't get in to it. I sat impatiently like a man waiting for his wife as Jennifer put a full fashion show on for what seemed like hours. Eventually, she settled on a red satin micro dress with a halter top. If it wasn't for her big 38C boobs, that dress would fall to the floor fast. Her naturally wavy hair bounced just above her shoulders.
I smiled at her choice, "Only a raven haired beauty could pull that dress color off. You look shmexy!"
With a runway spin, she smiled and disappeared back to her change room. As we combed through the mall, I finally got the much anticipated details of the evening. Mitch and Derek would get two rooms at the Holiday Inn. As she put it, there was a room for us and one for them unless of course things went well. Naturally both these guys were "To die for sexy"; unfortunately we never had the same taste in guys so I was not optimistic.
"You girls look like you are up to something." Hal's acting skills should have won him an Oscar.
I sat silent at the kitchen table as Jennifer spoke, "We're going to have a girl's night with Laura's mom tonight."
"Well that is nice of you ladies." Hal smiled sweetly.
Jennifer interrupted, "So...we won't be home tonight. Probably not until after lunch tomorrow...you know...in case you wanted to make plans." The last part came out as a question unintentionally.
Hal laughed, "I will take that in to consideration."
Jennifer grabbed my hand and proceeded to drag me upstairs. I rolled my eyes over my shoulder at Hal hoping somehow to be rescued from the evening of horror this would surely become. Hal just smiled at me and shook his finger disapprovingly at my attitude before blowing a kiss at me. We packed our bags and barely made it to the bottom of the stairs when the taxi showed up.
I threw my bag in the backseat and looked at Jennifer, "Just one minute, I forgot something." I raced back in the door and wrapped my arms around Hal. He kissed me deeply sucking the breath from my chest.
"Go have fun." He opened the door and shoed me out.
The cab pulled away and I looked back hoping to see him, but he wasn't there. I fell in to a daze as we drove down the street until Jennifer told me to get changed.
"Here?" I raised a brow.
With an infamous eye roll she spoke to the East Indian cab driver, "Don't look pervo!" With those words she pulled her sweater over her head and began to remove her pants. In an instant she was naked and fighting with her new dress; it looked like one person twister and was quite comical to watch. Her naked breasts were pushed down her dress stretching the fabric to its limit.
"You changing?" She pushed herself back in to the seat exhausted from the fight.
