A Friendly Game of Cards
Matt sat at the table watching his mother cleaning up the dinner remains. He watched the pleasant jiggle of her ass encased in the familiar pale green panties.
"So since the deal is suspended during "that time of month" how about better undies like the blue thong you wore the other day?"
"Tight string up in that mess? Ewwww, no. Be happy you're a guy and just have to spectate and deal with the hormones. It's not pretty no matter how you slice it. I'm just glad I won't be dealing with this crap during Jamaica."
They both looked at each other as the doorbell rang.
"You didn't order anything did you?"
"No, mom. I almost depleted my entire college fund over that flashing frenzy last week."
Diana ran into her bedroom while Matt went to get the door.
Shortly, Matt, Sue Lynn and Kim Hamilton walked in to the kitchen to find Diana in her short robe by the sink.
Matt smiled, "well, I'll leave you women to your womanly stuff."
"Coward," yelled Diana to his retreating back.
"So ladies, unless I'm mistaken Flynn's isn't until tomorrow."
"See Kim. That robe is way too interesting for a hormonal boy to leave the room."
"Oh, please! You can't even tell the color of my panties! And as I told you I wear this all the time; it's old news as well as the body. Coffee to go along with the interrogation?"
At the two nods, Diana bent over to get a filter out of a cabinet.
Simultaneously two voices yelled "Green."
Diana jumped up putting a hand to the back of her robe and turned to glare at her friends.
"At least I'm wearing underwear; you're making it sound like I prance around Matt naked or something."
"Di, it's a woman's perk to drive our sons crazy every now and then, but Matt isn't even fazed. It just isn't normal."
"Gasp. You don't think our boys are secretly gay do you?"
"Ha, ha. I've found some interesting video files on Chip's computer that beg to differ."
"Craig actually challenged me to strip poker the other day so I think he's straight."
"So did you play him."
"What do you think?"
"That's why we're asking!"
Sue smirked, "I must admit I did think about it."
The two other women howled in laughter.
Diana sat with her friends while the coffee percolated. "So other than curiosity over the color of my panties what brings you over?"
"We missed you, and we want to apologize."
"Apologize for what?"
"We did give you a hard time at the mall, and then again me later here."
"And I kind of thrust Chip on you during your vacation."
"Oh and all these twenty questions are to make amends? Besides, it'll be good for Matt to have someone his own age there; he'll enjoy it more than just with his dear old mom."
"Speaking of which would you mind if Craig went too. He's been unbearable ever since he heard that Chip was going with you."
Kim looked at Sue and joked, "You could keep him distracted by playing strip poker with him!"
"Nah, the thrill would wear off pretty quick, and he would go back to gloomy sulking. It's Jamaica or misery."
"Oh goody, three healthy boys for little old me on vacation to the sunny islands far from here!" Diana gleamed rubbing her hands together. She stopped when she saw the nervous look on Kim's face.
"Oh you have to be shitting me. How could you think I would do any thing like that?" Diana could actually feel herself getting angry.
"Well, you are acting just like the old, wild Diana."
"And did I ever, EVER, cheat on David?"
"David is gone dear."
"And until I find a permanent new man the shop is closed for business."
"But the temptation of three young men on a sunny island?" Kim wondered aloud.
"Boys, Kim, boys. Not someone I want to share the rest of my life and all that goes with it with. They are all three practically all our sons. Not lovers. Look, if that is what you think than I don't want either boy to go with us."
"Honey, no matter how crazy things got, you never messed around with any of our husbands and you never let us down. We know we can trust you with our sons. But Diana, eight years of nothing; your hormones have got to be raging. You're a year past the seven-year-itch. We're just worried you might be a raging volcano or something." Sue was always the peacekeeper who knew what to say.
"Oh I'm dealing alright. I've waited eight years, I can wait some more."
"Look, I just made things worse. I'm sorry. I really do love you and I know I can trust you. It's just so weird. Like a time warp, you are like eight years ago. It just takes some getting used to it. That's all. Please forgive me." Kim gave puppy dog eyes to Diana.
"Kim, we're good. You're right, it does seem all disjointed. Part of me is eight years ago while parts of me are the 'post David' Diana and it's all crashing into somebody new I guess. But if you don't absolutely trust me it would be no good for Chip to come with us."
"God no. He would never speak to me again. Anything but that."
"Are you sure?" Sue smirked.
"Wow, never arguing with me? It is a very tempting thought."
Again the women laughed bringing the mood back into friendly territory
Soon over a lot more laughter the coffee cups were empty and Kim and Sue got up.
"So can I get the info for Craig's reservations?" Sue asked.
"Well, I'll leave you girls to the paperwork." Kim grabbed her coat and left.
Sue sat right back down. Diana looked at her, "Okay, I'll go get our paperwork."
"Wait Di." Sue gulped.
Diana sat back down eyeing her friend suspiciously.
"How do I put this after Kim and I blew it earlier? Di, you're back. My best friend is back from the dead. I am so excited but you're shutting me out. Me, the other half of the best friends. What gives?"
Diana stared at the exceedingly nervous Sue long before answering.
"How much have you changed over the last eight years Sue?"
"I've become boring. So boring I almost considered playing my own son at strip poker."
"Why didn't you?"
"Excuse me?"
"You talk about the old Diana well the old Sue I remember would have taken up the challenge in a heartbeat."
"He's my son."
"And male. And eighteen. And strip poker doesn't have to lead to sex nor is it different from a lot of things we used to do including strip games. Again, the old Sue would have played. How much have you changed?"
"Would you play Matt?"
"Any time over the last eight years not a chance," Diana paused and looked carefully at her old friend, "But now, in a heartbeat."
"You're kidding!"
Diana smirked, "Look at you, you're getting flushed at the thought. Maybe you can be the old Sue. How badly do you want us back together like the old days?"
"What do you mean 'badly'?"
