Kathy chuckled and turned her attention back on the road. Lexi, however, was far from done with the questioning. "So, does this Matt have a last name? Do we know him?"
"Rosenbloom." All the girls, except Kathy looked at Staci incredulously. Lexi's head whipped around so quickly, Staci was afraid that she might have gotten whiplash. Those were the dangers of sitting up front. "Say what?"
"Yeah, it's a long story, but short version is that he's convinced me to give him a chance and Kathy relinquished her rights to him last night. So, I haven't gone backstabber or anything. I'm just trying him out."
Lexi looked pensive for a moment and then replied, "Well, when you're done with him, send him over here. Mama wants a piece of that!" They all broke out into laughter and gossiped for the rest of the ride up to the lake. When they pulled into the driveway, which was already packed with cars, they stared in awe of the house that stood before them. It was huge. "He lives here?" Staci was shocked. No wonder he was so willing to throw a party at his house. Who wouldn't want to show off such a place?
Matt was sitting on the deck, sipping a beer and waiting for Staci to arrive. If she didn't come, they wouldn't be able to plan their date the next day. He had forgotten to ask her for her phone number. Maybe he could ask Jesse for it. The man seemed to know everything there was to know about Staci. Matt knew a lot about Staci from prying information from Jesse. He even knew that she played rugby and liked anime, two of the little secrets that she kept away from the 'Barbie bunch,' as Matt decided to call them. Jesse agreed, saying that it should be a crime to have so many good-looking girls be friends. If you messed up with one, you spoiled your chances with all of them and that was just not fair. Jesse had no idea how right he was. Matt counted himself lucky that Staci had even given him another chance, considering he had turned down Kathy multiple times.
Matt's best friend, Ted, joined him on the deck, resigning himself to having to hear about Staci again. The way Matt talked about her on the phone, he knew that she had to be something special. Matt didn't let Ted down. He eventually brought the conversation to Staci and her friends. Ted laughed when Matt told him about the 'Barbie bunch'. They sounded like a trip, especially the ho.
'Speaking of Barbie,' Matt thought to himself as a young blond waltzed his way. He was surprised that when he checked her out, he compared her to Staci. His Ana had gotten into his head so quickly and for some reason, Matt wasn't worried about it. Wasn't that why people dated? To find the one that they wanted to spend their lives with?
The Barbie look-alike walked up to him and seductively batted her eyes while asking him directions to his bathroom. He told her where to go and she extended an offer to join her to both Matt and Ted. Matt had to chuckle at the way she offered herself to them so willingly. Matt didn't think that he had ever been propositioned to share a girl with his best friend. It was an exciting proposition, but it was a little too late. With a shrug of his shoulders, he told her that he was taken. Then, as a side note, he let her know that he found her offer to be slightly trashy. The look of shock that appeared on her face was classic and Matt wished he had a camera. Back in his college days, he probably would have taken her up on the offer just because he never turned down free pussy. It was a sign that he was growing up. Or perhaps it was a sign that he was seriously stuck on Staci. Ted looked at him and shook his head.
"Man, did you have to ruin my chances too? I'm not the one sprung on some girl. I need pussy like a man in a drought needs rain....and you're swatting off the rain clouds."
Matt laughed. Ted was insane, but that's why they were such good friends. "You didn't want any of that. There are plenty of hot girls here who are willing to get with a guy like you. Give it some time. I'm sure you'll....." Matt trailed off, seeing that his Ana had finally made it to the party.
As he looked across the yard, he saw Staci strolling towards him in a tan sun dress that looked more like a burlap sack on her. He frowned. Why would she wear something like that to the party? Now was not the time to be letting herself go, they hadn't even had a first date yet. And to think he had been bragging about Staci's body to Ted. Now he wasn't even going to get to see how amazing it was.
Staci wore a knowing smile while she strode towards Matt. He'd probably be disappointed that her clothing choice wasn't the thing that wet dreams were made of, but what she wore under it, well, that was something that she hoped he would like. Today, she had dressed for seduction. Matt stood and met her before she reached the stairs to his porch. His pout was more than Staci could handle. She started laughing right there, in the poor man's face. "What's the matter, Matt? You look like your puppy fell into the lake or something."
Matt just grabbed the sides of her dress and wrapped them around her body. "You are under here somewhere, right?"
Staci chuckled. "Of course I'm under here. I just didn't want you to try to steal me away from the party too soon." She gave him a quick wink and, after prying herself from his grasp, turned to walk towards the lake. Matt stared after her and groaned. Even in a burlap sack dress, the way her ass swayed was enough to make his cock swell. If it didn't grow into a full blown hard-on, he'd be lucky. He totally forgot about Ted as he followed Staci to the lake like a love sick puppy. He'd follow his Ana anywhere as long as her ass kept swaying like it did.
After trying a while to persuade her to remove her sun dress to go swimming, Matt gave up and swam without her. Staci watched him as he splashed around in the water like a happy duck, wishing she had opted for fun instead of seduction. She did want to get to know him better before giving in, but she figured that she could have a little fun without having sex with Matt. She would set the pace and it would be the one she was most comfortable with.
Staci noticed that Maia and Jesse were talking beneath a tree and looking quite content to just be with each other. In fact, Maia had rode up to the lake with Jesse, volunteering to find another ride since there wasn't enough room in Kathy's SUV to fit everyone. Staci figured that the walk home must have done something to change the dynamics of their relationship...and Jesse didn't seem to mind the hickeys that had yet to fade from Maia's neck. Staci giggled and thought to herself, 'Love really is blind sometimes.'
She turned to watch Matt and his friend Ted have a water fight. Those two were something else. Just when she thought she had enough of one guy who couldn't keep his mind out of the gutter, he had to have a friend who was even worse. Staci couldn't help but like Ted though, he was a sweetheart under his cocky exterior and he was handsome to boot. His short reddish-brown hair accentuated the brown of his eyes and his dimples and southern drawl were enough to make a girl swoon. Staci had a few friends she'd like to hook up with Ted, but that would have to happen after she got things straightened out with Matt. Staci shook her head and headed to the porch to sit down.
Staci sat in an empty chair that was facing the lake. She had drifted off, thinking about a paper she had to write by Thursday, when someone stood in front of her, bringing her back to reality. "Hey, Matt. What's up?" Staci looked up at him and smiled. She then ran her foot slowly up his leg, circling it just below his crotch, and brought it back down to rest on the porch. A seductive smile spread across her face, just in time to see what was really up and peeking out of Matt's shorts. "Oh my!"
Matt's face turned bright red as he excused himself and rushed into his house. 'Smooth, Matt, real smooth. Why didn't you just poke her eye out with that boner of yours?' He shook his head as he hurried upstairs into his bedroom. He should have made sure that his trunks were closed properly after he took a piss behind that tree, but then again, he hadn't thought that his Ana would decide to something that sexy and scandalous in public. Matt couldn't believe how he let his cool outer façade slip. He could have at least made a joke of it or told her just how much she turns him on. Instead, he ran away. Some ladies man he was.
