Tommy and Sarah had been best friends since kindergarten. Sarah lived across the street from Tommy and over the years their families had grown close and Sarah and Tommy had always been like brother and sister.
It was mid-June and Tommy and Sarah had both just graduated high school. To celebrate the families planned a long road trip down to the beach as one last hurrah together before everyone went off to school.
Tommy's dad had a big SUV and Sarah's dad had a large sedan. The trip would include Sarah's parents, and her two brothers in the sedan, and Tommy's parents, his little sister, and Tommy and Sarah in the SUV.
Everyone was loading the cars and getting ready to go. Tommy had on board shorts and was ready for the beach. Sarah had on a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt over her bikini.
Tommy's dad had just finished loading the back of the car when an uber pulled up. It was Tommy's older brother and his girlfriend. They heard about the trip and wanted to go.
Of course dad was excited to see them, but he was also annoyed because he had to reorganize the whole car. For starters, Tommy and Sarah now had to sit in the third row.
Everyone piled in the cars, starting with Tommy and Sarah. After a few minutes of cursing, Tommy dad poked his head through the back of the car.
"Hey, you guys, this might be a little awkward, but is there any way that you can share a seat? The cooler wont fir unless I fold part of this seat down?"
Sarah smiled. "Sure, Mr. S." she unbuckled her seatbelt and sat sideways on Tommy's lap.
Within moments, the last of the gear was crammed into the car and Tommy's dad was starting the engine. "Everyone buckle up!" He shouted, checking the rear view quickly.
Sarah drew the seat belt around them both and clicked it into place. Tommy made a joke of reaching his arms around Sarah and saying "click", as if he were a seat belt. When he did, he acutely noticed something he hadnt paid attention to before - his best friend had boobs.
He wasnt touching her breats, his arms were under them. But they tugged and pulled on her shirt in a way that was undeniable. Tommy gulped. He tried to push the thoughts of a womans breasts out of his mind. Never mind that this woman was his best friend, and never mind that she was sitting on his lap.
Tommy could feel the beginnings of an erection forming. When had his friend become so...woman? He hadnt noticed. He guessed that since he saw her every day the gradual changes went unnoticed.
"Think about anything else," Tommy thought to himself. He started thinking about strategies to beat a level of a video game he was stuck on and felt himself relax.
Tommy thought about anything other than Sarah so hard that he tuned her out. He didn't realize she was talking to him until she tapped him on the arm.
"Hey, earth to Tommy. I asked if you can hand me a soda from the cooler."
"Oh, uh, sure," Tommy said, reaching over and handing her a cold bottle of soda.
They made idle chit chat about how weird it was to be graduated and how they weren't really sure what they wanted to do with their lives.
Everything was good until they hit a pothole. Sarah as mid-drink and the bump caused her to drop the soda, which spilled all over her sweats. "Shit!"
"Everything ok?" Tommy mom asked.
"Yeah, I just spilled my drink," Sarah explained.
"Sorry about that," Tommy's dad said, "I didn't see it until it was too late."
