A couple of weeks later Samantha stopped by her parents house to talk with her mother. It was mid morning on a warm Saturday, her father was out in the yard expanding their garden to accommodate some new trellises for some flowers. She waved to him as she walked up to the deck, smiling to herself and almost laughing at him. He was dressed only in shorts and work boots, his skin glistened from the sweat while he dug new post holes. It wasn't that he wasn't in good shape, quite the contrary, he worked out on a regular basis. It just seemed an odd picture with the boots and shorts.
The dogs were sleeping near where he was working, when they heard Samantha call out her greeting they popped up and headed to meet her. She greeted them, calling out to her mother as she pet their heads and sent them back out to guard her father from the fashion police.
Once inside she called out once more just as her mother came out of the laundry room to greet her. They hugged before Samantha could drop her purse on the kitchen table.
Samantha sighed then asked, "Mom, can we talk?" Setting her purse down with a loud thump.
"Sure, hon. What's on your mind?"
"I think I like Lani."
"I like her too, sweetheart she's really good with the dogs and she's nice to talk to."
"No, like her as in when I liked boys in high school. I mean I like being with her as in being close. How do I put this? I like her as a very close friend."
Karen paused for a second and looked at her daughter. "You're telling me you like her like you would a boy?"
"Yes, I think I do."
"Is this something you have told her? Have you and she?"
"We spent the night together a couple of weeks ago, remember? We talked, we kissed, we talked and I think I want to spend more time with her. More intimate time."
"You're wondering how we'll feel?"
"Yes, you and dad. I know this is sudden and I've never thought about a girl before. I just felt so comfortable being with her. It was different but not a bad different. You know what I mean?"
Karen smiled thinking back to that afternoon when she and Lani discovered each other. Wondering to herself if she may have lit a spark within Lani but then pushing that thought aside to deal with her daughter's anxiety.
"Samantha, let's sit down."
They both headed to the living room and sat down on the sofa to continue their talk. Karen was calm as she thought about what she was going say.
"You're telling me you're wanting to have a serious relationship with Lani? Have you told Lani?"
"We have talked a bit, it's more like when we need someone we call each other." Samantha blushed hoping her mother would understand the arrangement.
"So, right now it's just sex? But you want more?"
"Yes, I think so. I really haven't talked to Lani about that part, yet. When we first started I was the reluctant one. Now I feel like I'm the needy one."
"Before we tell your father maybe you should talk to Lani. I think he'll take it okay. It might be a bit hard to believe at first for him but I think if I talk to him first in a vague sort of way he'll be fine. I just want you to be positive about all of this before we shock him. Does that sound reasonable? We want you to be happy, Lani is a sweetheart I don't have any problems with you being with her."
"Thanks, mom. I love you." Samantha opened her arms and the two women embraced.
"I love you too, Sam. Lani was going to come over this afternoon to talk about the week we're on the cruise. Are you staying?"
"I did want to lay out. Maybe I'll talk to her while she's here."
"Maybe take a walk and talk to her. That way your father won't overhear. It may give me a chance to pose some ideas to him, just in case she likes the idea. Please don't announce anything until I've had a chance to really talk with him, okay?"
"I think she might, otherwise I wouldn't have brought it up. We'll see. I won't say anything until you've had a talk with him."
While the two women were talking in the house Lani and Ka-lee arrived. Ka-lee bounded off to greet his friends stopping to say hello to Dave. Lani was dressed in a tiny bikini top, short shorts and flip flops; she walked over to Dave to say hello. Dave looked up from his digging to see the bronzed goddess standing before him. His body glistening from the sweat and sun, he smiled greeting his guest trying not to think about her with even less on. Looking for his shirt which was hanging on a post at the other end of the garden. He apologized for being almost naked.
"Hi, Dave. How are you?"
Looking at him through her wide sunglasses she could see the hint of six pack abs. The sweat beading on his skin as he looked up at her from his kneeling position. Streaks of dirt across his brow from wiping away his perspiration made him look very manly and a bit sexy she thought, even for a older guy.
"Hi, Lani. I'm fine how are you doing? You're a bit early. Sorry about my attire, I thought you were going to be over later."
His eyes took her in and he felt the blood rushing to his penis. She did look hot, looking away would be rude so he quickly changed the subject so she'd go in the house and the embarrassment of an erection would never happen.
"I think Karen and Sam are in the house talking I'll be in as soon as I glue these last few fittings. I'm expanding the garden and need to get this irrigation system working first. I've added a trellis for Karen."
"Oh, okay. I'll go see what they are up to. No need to apologize, this is your house and you can wear what you like. Thanks, I'll head on in and see what they are up to. Oh, nice abs there, Dave."
She grinned, lowering her sunglasses and smiling. She knew she embarrassed him because as soon as she dipped her shades she could see his face start to turn red. Her eyes dropped a bit down his body and for a second she thought she might have seen his crotch bulge a bit.
Turning to walk to the house she "accidentally" dropped her keys as she was trying to put them in her bag. That didn't help him at all. She bent down showing him her delicious ass as it stretched the fabric of her shorts. Which just made his reaction surge forward. Then to make matters worse Karen and Samantha appeared on the steps of the deck; leaving the house to walk out to greet Lani. Dave knelt back down returning to work hoping he could relax his aching groin. Lani stood her ground, her back to Dave as Karen and Sam walked up. Karen looked at him, he seemed slightly embarrassed. He was holding some plastic fitting to cover his crotch. When he turned to greet Samantha, Karen glanced down noticing the bulge in his shorts. She grinned, looked at him and then ushered the girls towards the pond so they could talk. After leaving them she walked back to Dave, smiling at him while teased him about his appearance.
"I know you have no pockets in those shorts so I won't ask if you had a banana; were you glad to see Lani?"
