Dave was pissed. Lizzie was yelling at him. They were lost and Dave's wife was not helping. Lizzie could be a real BITCH and it's the last thing Dave needed while fighting traffic and trying to find the right road heading south.
"If you hadn't stayed out so late last night we would have gotten an earlier start this morning and missed this traffic. Tell me again why girl's night out lasted until after 2 am. I haven't heard a very good answer yet," Dave said angrily.
"I already told you, asshole, we were having fun and lost track of time, that's all. Now get your head out of your ass and get us unlost!!"
"So two hours after the bar closed you still didn't know what time it was? Fuck!! There's route 168!!" Dave cut across two lanes of traffic to finally get back on track. The last three hours of their drive went by in silence.
The bridge over the sound was a parking lot like every Saturday but it was worth the wait. Dave has loved the Outer Banks of North Carolina since he was a kid. His parents would bring the family here often. This place has everything for fun. Swimming, surfing, fishing, kayaking, windsurfing, kites, and the list goes on.
He was shocked when his parents recently came out as swingers to him. He wasn't one to judge people but suspected it was a way for his father to cheat with impunity. A previous instance of infidelity by Tony had nearly ended the marriage before now but Donna forgave him. His affair with his secretary got him fired from his highly compensated executive position at a chemical company. He had trouble getting another good job since he was fired for gross misconduct. This started their spiral into debt. Now Dave is helping them keep their house. Dave offered to pay for the vacation rental for the week to celebrate their 25th anniversary. His mother was ecstatic when she heard we would all be together.
His brother and sister were staying the week as well. Josie, his older sister, is a troublemaker. She has been in trouble her whole life including a short stint in jail. I would call her rebellious but it's more like she doesn't care about other people. Josie has never been in a long term relationship due to being a slut. She finally decided to go to school for nursing after working shitty jobs for two years after high school. Dave has been paying for the schooling but didn't want Josie to know. She thinks her parents have been paying her way. Neither of his siblings are aware of the help he provides to their parents.
His younger brother, Ritchie, is an asshole, at least to Dave anyway. He's one of those elitist athletes that looks down on anyone that isn't a jock. He is the epitome of a womanizer. He has never been in a long term relationship either, due to his huge ego and one night stand mentality. He thinks of women as sex objects for his personal pleasure. Ritch still lives with his parents at 23 years old and works part-time at a gym. His parents still support him for the most part. He didn't go to college since his grades sucked and he wasn't a good enough athlete to get a scholarship. He has the body to be a great athlete but he was too lazy, skipped practices and slacked off through the ones he went to.
Finally arriving on the island, Dave headed north toward Corolla. They stopped to pick up the keys at the realtors office and headed to the house. It's a five bedroom, five bath, oceanfront home with a pool, jacuzzi, pool table, beautiful kitchen, really all the amenities you could want. It ain't cheap but Dave makes great money as a CPA and had delusions of having a great family get together. He's a bit of a Clark Griswold.
Since liquor is much cheaper in New Hampshire, Dave brought all the alcohol for the week. The second Lizzie walked in the door she stomped straight to a cabinet to grab a tumbler, then pushed her glass in the icemaker and poured herself a scotch. "You gonna be a little bitch for the whole vacation?" Lizzie asked with a sneer.
Dave pondered the question. He looked at his wifes hot little body thinking he should soften his words if he wanted to have a nice vacation. Dave certainly enjoyed sex with his wife, but lately he has had to satisfy himself more often. He still had last night stuck in his head. Dave is suspicious of Lizzie's girlfriends and is worried they are a bad influence. What reason could there be to stay out that late without calling. In fact she didn't answer her phone either. There's one very easy explanation, but he needed to gather more info first. So just a sarcastic jab for now. "No babe, I wouldn't want to encroach on your territory."
Dave walked right past Lizzie to get himself a drink as well. The week wasn't starting off as he hoped. His mind was drifting to thoughts of his wife cheating on him. He needed to get a grip. Alcohol would help. Alcohol always helps. He hoped the rest of the family would help as well. "We need groceries, I assume you don't want to go with me," he said.
Lizzie looked at him with ire. "Why are you such a fucking dousche? You keep it up and this will be a very long week."
Dave rolled his eyes, "I'll be back in a couple hours. My sister should be here soon." With that he left.
Upon his return he found Lizzie and Josie sitting on a couch drinking and giggling. Dave thought it was good they were giggling until Josie spoke up, "Maybe we should go out tonight and find some hunky surfer dudes to plow us."
Dave was taken aback. "Hi Sis, I see you're trying to corrupt my wife. Not that she needs any help." They both frowned at the comment.
Josie came over to give a welcome hug to Dave. "It's good to see you too, Dave. Maybe you should treat your wife better and you won't have us ganging up on you."
Dave was getting hot under the collar. He needed confirmation that his wife wasn't cheating before he tore someone's head off. Just then the front door opened. His parents walked in with smiles and hugs for everyone. Ritchie came in with some luggage a minute later. Ritchie dropped the bags and walked over to Dave, "What's up little bro?" Calling Dave 'little bro' was his way of rubbing in Dave's face that Ritchie was bigger and stronger. They shook hands and did a manly half hug.
"Not much, how's that job going, you moving to your own place soon?" Dave didn't like tit for tat but today and probably the whole week would be like this. Ritchie flinched but continued to stand tall over Dave. He's 6'2" and 220 lbs to Dave's 5'10" and 170 lbs.
Ritchie turned to Lizzie and went in for a hug. It was a full body hug and lasted about 5 seconds too long. Lizzie looked up at Ritchie and said, "Don't listen to him Ritchie, he's just being a fucking douschebag today."
"Do you want me to pound him into the ground for you?" Ritchie said with an evil grin.
Lizzie smirked at Dave and said, "I don't think it would change anything but you can if you feel like it."
Finally Donna interjected, "You people need to cool your jets, this is a vacation, let's have some fun. And don't forget who's paying for all this. Thank you, Dave, for the wonderful anniversary gift. I'm so glad we're all together."
Dave smiled at his mom and was glad she was here to defuse the situation. Dave volunteered to cook dinner while everyone got settled in. The conversation during and after dinner was cordial. Dave cleaned up dinner by himself. They stayed up talking until the long day caught up with everyone. Dave and Lizzie took an upstairs bedroom while Ritchie took the other upstairs bedroom. Their parents and Josie each took a bedroom on the main floor. Downstairs was the game room and one extra bedroom. Dave and Lizzie got in bed and faced opposite directions. Neither one was interested in intimacy. Dave's thoughts before he fell asleep were resentful. He figured Lizzie would get horny enough to fuck him by the end of the week now that she was away from her slutty girlfriends.

Dave is an early riser, so when he got out of bed at 6 am everyone else was still sleeping including Lizzie. Dave figured this would be a good time to check out Lizzie's phone for clues about her girls night out. He took her phone off the nightstand and entered the security pin, it didn't work. He thought that was weird since she had used the same pin ever since he knew her. He had gotten into her phone recently, in fact, to read her a text while she was in the shower. She must have changed it. Then he realized he could use the biometrics as a passcode. He gently moved close to Lizzie and gently pressed her finger on the pad. It worked!! And she didn't wake up. Now he hoped to have enough time to get some info. He needed to stay by the bed so he could replace the phone if she woke up.
