"Bad news," Rachel said, putting down the phone. It was about nine at night, the movie we were watching was on pause, and we were all sitting in my living room.
I'd been on one end of the couch, Danny and Rachel cuddled on the other end, one of his hands occasionally resting on one of her breasts (except when it sounded as if my mother might be nearby).
Over the past week or so, without actually discussing it, we'd worked out an understanding: during the day, Rachel would be Danny's girlfriend, with all the rights and privileges thereof -- but after my mother left for the store in the morning, I'd crawl into Danny's bed.
(Mom was letting me slide on my morning chores because we had a house guest; she probably wouldn't have been as generous if she'd known I was spending the time being defiled by him)
When we went to the lake, everybody wore proper suits. Danny's occasional touch of Rachel's clothed breast was the most blatant show of impropriety I'd actually witnessed since we'd worked out the "rules," and of course Rachel had never watched Danny and me having sex.
It all sounds weird, I know, but everybody was happy and, since Danny was only going to be here another week and a half or so anyway, there was no reason for anybody to be jealous. All was fine; until Rachel put down the phone and said "Bad news."
"What happened?" I asked.
"My sister happened. She's home."
I translated for Danny: "Hope is Rachel's step-sister. She's 19, actually a few months older than Rachel, but acts like a spoiled little brat. She was supposed to be staying with her father in Bakersfield for the month."
"But apparently he flaked out," Rachel explained, "so she's coming back. He actually put her on a
bus
, an overnight bus, and she'll be here in the morning."
"That sucks," he said.
"Sucks for me too," Rachel said, "because my dad says I have to hang out with her. Which means I can't hang out with you guys."
"Why can't we all just hang out together?" Danny asked. "Is she going to freak out that you have, um, a boyfriend?" He was still getting used to the word, and of course they didn't have your standard boyfriend/girlfriend relationship.
Rachel and I exchanged glances. Then I said "Danny, Hope is what you'd call, how can I put this nicely, a fucking bitch."
But I do have to admit... there was a part of me that was happy I'd have Danny all to myself for a while.
So maybe I'm a bit of a bitch myself.

The following morning Danny and I were in bed, slowly exploring on another's bodies. He was just about to get up and open the hidden compartment in his suitcase where he kept the condoms when he got a text message from Rachel (presumably I got the same one, but my phone was back in my room): Hope's bus was delayed for some reason, so she and her parents were probably going to be camped out at the bus depot for the rest of the morning. What a mess.
"Get dressed," I told Danny.
"I'd rather stay naked."
"Danny, we have some unfinished business at the lake from last week, and we might not get another chance."
He knew just what I meant: we'd been lying naked by the lake, about to fuck for our first time, when the skies opened up and we had to make a dash for home.
I rushed back to my room to dress, and he met me downstairs, also dressed (though without a shirt), less than five minutes later.
We didn't stay dressed for long: As soon as we hit the clearing by the lake, I was as shirtless as he was. I hadn't bothered with a bra, and I can't remember the last time I'd left the house without one.
Was there something about this lake that make me horny lately, or was it only that the past week or so, every time I'd been here, I was with Danny and we were in at least some state of undress?
We both threw off the rest of our clothing, and got right down to business: my first time fucking outdoors, of course, and it was amazing. I was just lucky nobody was close enough to hear me scream.
When it was all over, and we'd rested some, I reminded Danny that he'd never been skinny-dipping, and he might never have the chance again, so we ran in.
