We were all lying on the floor naked basking in the afterglow of our circle hookup.
Rick says, "Wow! If someone had told me I'd have a weekend like this I'd have said they're crazy. Hopefully we'll have more times like these but if not, it's been more than fantastic."
Carrie lying spreadeagled sighs and adds, "I feel like I'm waking up from the best erotic dream I could imagine."
Pam, "I agree, it's been amazing. I can't wait to see what the future holds."
Ricks phone chimes.
He says, "Whoever that is can leave a message. I don't want to move."
Finally, we all start to move around.
Rick listens to his message and says, "Ah shit, it's a client. They want me to show them a couple of houses."
He quickly showers, dresses, hugs everyone and leaves.
The three of us grab coffees and move to the deck. We replay the events of our weekend and plan our next get together. During a lull in the conversation, I leave to refill our coffees. When I return the two girls are huddled together in deep conversation.
Pam pats the seat next to her and says, "Have a seat, I want you to hear what Care just suggested."
Carrie says, "I had a thought that I think is worth exploring. Now that Pam is unemployed, I think she should start her own adult web site."
I asked, "You mean like a porn site?"
"Well sort of. I think Pam is very pretty with a great body. There are online platforms where one can post, let's say, intimate content that people pay to view. I think she could make big money showing off her body and personality."
I ask, "You also have a great body too so why don't you do it?"
"I've thought about it but if the school ever found out I'd be fired. I love teaching and don't want to risk it."
Pam, "Assume I'm going to do it, how would I get started."
"Well obviously you'd sign up, get your page on a platform. To build traffic you'd start posting, let's say provocative images on social media."
Me, "What if the restaurant found out? She's just laid off now they'd fire her."
Pam laughing, "I don't think so. They'd probably give me a raise. It'd increase the bar business."
Carrie, "You're probably correct but if I'm right I think you'll make so much money you won't have to ever work a regular job again. I know there are a lot of people that will pay to see you naked. And if you get creative you could make a killing."
"Creative, how."
"Well for starters, take advantage of your bartending skills. you could show how to make various drinks but do so while dressed provocatively. Show off your assets, if you know what I mean. Remember you have to build traffic."
I said, "I bet there's a lot of your regular bar customers that would pay to see you naked."
"I'm sure that's true. I get a lot of propositions. They all want to be my friends on the internet."
Carrie, "All you have to do is discreetly let those "friends" know about your site and that'll give you a kick start. I think you ought to try it."
"Well, it's certainly something to think about."
After Carrie left Pam and I enjoyed a lazy afternoon just hanging out with each other. We were quickly becoming a couple, settling into a comfortable routine. She was enjoying her domestic goddess role. My shirts, socks, underwear etc. were now organized by color. She had deep cleaned everything, the baseboards were pristine, the ceiling fans were dust free. Now she wanted to paint the kitchen cabinets, so we went paint shopping.
That night lying in bed, I asked, "So what do you think about Carrie's idea?"
"It's interesting. I find it hard to think that people would pay to see me naked."
"Well I think you're beautiful clothed or naked so I bet a lot of guys would. Tomorrow let's go online and see what your competition would be."
"I'll think about it."
The next evening, I pulled into the driveway and hit the garage opener. The door did open but there was no room for my car. There were cabinet drawers and doors in various states of refinishing all over the garage. Inside, all the cabinets were bare. Boxes of dishes, canned goods etc. were stacked in the dining room. We ordered delivery pizza.
I paid the driver and brought the box to the deck. Pam had opened some beers.
As I opened the box I asked, "Have you thought any more about our conversation?"
"As a matter of fact I signed up at a site called OnlyForYourEyes. I spent some time checking out some of the content. I subscribed to a few, live streamed some and paid tips for special requests. It was quite eye opening."
"So, you're serious? When are you going to start?"
"Yep, I'm serious, I'll start slow but I've got to get the kitchen done first. I can't just leave it like this."
In addition to the kitchen mess, the week after our family get together was hectic. Carries school sent everyone home with plans to resume classes online. My office moved half the staff to work from home status. I had my own office, but most staff and client meetings were now on Zoom. Rick and Carrie were doing sleepovers. Our group chat was very active.
Every evening I helped Pam with the kitchen. It took a little longer as she spent some time on her new business. As a subscriber I was able to follow her progress.
Sometimes I watched her perform live while viewing her on the web simultaneously. Talk about double the pleasure. Most times we ended these sessions in bed. Which further delayed the kitchen project. But, finally, we put new knobs and pulls on and the room looked great.
We all decided to have our next get together at our house again as everyone wanted to see the finished product.
Rick showed up early. Carrie of course was late. About noon she texted she was on the way and bringing a surprise. The three of us spent the time waiting for her guessing what the surprise would be. None of us were close with our guesses.
She finally walked in. With our mother. We were speechless. No one moved. We just stared. Actually, glared is more accurate. Rick was first to move.
He gave mom a hug and said, "Hey it's good to see you."
The rest of us joined in.
Carrie said, "Mom wanted to see your kitchen. So, I invited her over."
Pam sarcastically said, "Well aren't you the thoughtful one."
The doorbell rang.
Carrie said, "Another surprise."
I opened the door. It was Aunt Linda and our cousin Sue.
Linda says, "OK where's this this kitchen I've been hearing about?"
Pam glared at Carrie then hugged Linda and Sue, waved at mom, said, "C'mon I'll show you all around."
They all oohed and ahhed at the kitchen redo.
Mom opened every door and looked in every drawer before blessing the work.
"It's beautiful. Nice job. You can come do mine next."
We all laughed.
Pam said, "Rick take everyone out on the deck, I'll make some drinks."
As soon as the room cleared, Pam grabbed Carries face and said, "What the hell were you thinking? Did you forget this was to be just for the four of us? You've ruined it now."
Carrie replied, "It'll be Ok. They just want to hang out for a while. You know mom won't stay long. Don't be pissed at me. They just wanted to see your kitchen."
I said, "Well it's done now. Let's just make the best of it."
We enjoyed a light lunch and margaritas while we caught up on family news.
Linda is Mom's older sister. She is a meteorologist on our local channel and a community celebrity. She is known for her short skirts and gorgeous long legs. My college buddies called her Linda legs.
Sue is a senior in college and takes after her mother in the leg department.
Like Pam, Linda likes to be in charge.
Linda says, "Carrie tells us you all are into holdem. I've been known to play a little myself. Can I sit in?"
Pam hesitantly says, "Ah ok, Mom would you and Sue like to play?"
