As Diana opened the large wooden door she felt a wave of heat and the heaviness of the many bodies inside Riley's bar. Her body tingled pleasantly to the loud beat of the music playing through the hidden speakers. She looked around as her eyes adjusted to the dark club. Out of the corner of her eye she noticed a more frantic motion. Turning her head she smiled at the sight of Gwen waving her right hand at Diana.
Diana threaded through the crowd before sliding into the booth with Stephanie in the back corner of the bar.
Diana was greeted by the beaming smiles of both women.
Gwen clapped her hands as she responded, "Diana, so glad you could join us."
Diana smiled at the women, "My pleasure. I've been looking forward to this. I really don't get out that much."
Stephanie chuckled, "From what I've seen, I can see why you would want to stay home all the time."
Diana blushed as they all laughed. She was about to speak when she saw one of the waitresses approach their table.
Diana watched the girl thread her way back toward the bar after taking their orders then looked around at the nearest people to them assessing their privacy before she turned back to the sisters.
"Okay, I'm dying of curiosity. You're not even remotely bothered by my" Diana paused as she looked for the right words.
"My living arrangements?" she finished.
Stephanie reached out to hold Gwen's hand, "As we said, we understand being outcasts from the normal family structure."
Gwen squeezed her sister's hand as she continued," Growing up, our father was, shall we say, a bit rough with us. He really wanted boys instead of girls, and he had a lot of anger issues as well that he took out on us."
"He basically drove us from both him and our mother and toward each other," Stephanie continued.
Diana asked, "Your mom didn't do anything?"
"Passive acceptance was the best we got from her," Gwen answered as the waitress brought their drinks.
Stephanie began after she left, "Uncle Jimmy took us in as much as he could as he knew what our Dad was like from growing up with him."
Gwen lightly caressed Stephanie's hand, "He quickly noticed how affectionate we were with each other and he let us be us. He made us feel good about ourselves and life in general."
Stephanie smiled as she remembered, "We grew to love him almost as much as each other and one thing led to another."
Gwen chuckled, "That's Stephanie's take on the relationship, as honestly, I much prefer women to men. Don't get me wrong, I loved Uncle Jimmy with all my heart, just not quite the way Stephanie did."
Stephanie smirked, "True, Gwen is a pretty straight lesbian; I'm very much bi."
Gwen looked at Diana, "Since you've opened the door, honestly we've been curious of the dynamics in your relationship If you don't mind us being nosy neighbors."
Diana shook her head and laughed, "You know, I never thought about it in those terms. Things kind of just happened."
She took a long pull on her drink, "David, my husband and I moved into the neighborhood about the same time as three other couples back in the nineties. Now that I think about it, I kind of remember two women hanging out around the Hollister place."
Stephanie and Gwen nodded as Diana continued.
"All of us got really close, and we started having some pretty wild parties."
Stephanie laughed "We often heard the music and the goings back and forth between houses but had no idea full blown orgies were going on."
Diana laughed, "Yeah, they were pretty wild times. David and I were young and in love just like others."
"We've never seen your husband," Gwen responded.
Di took another pull on her drink, "David died quite a few years ago after a long, hard illness."
Both Gwen and Stephanie unclasped their hands and put them on Diana's that were around her drink. They squeezed her flesh lightly.
Gwen thought about it for a bit, "we had probably moved to Philadelphia before his death."
After making sure no one else was in earshot, Diana explained the deal she had made with Matthew and how it developed and how Cindy entered into the picture to where they were now.
Stephanie and Gwen both laughed, "Good for the three of you" Stephanie told her.
"So basically Matt lives every man's dreams of having two gorgeous, naked women all to himself huh?" Stephanie laughed.
Diana laughed, "I think gorgeous is a description long gone for me."
Both Hollisters shook their heads adamantly.
"Trust us, you are incredible looking," Gwen answered.
Diana gave an embarrassed chuckle and blushed at the heated gaze in Gwen's eyes and the three continued with a light, pleasant banter.
