Diana pushed open the hard wood doors feeling the loud music wash over her as she entered the dark club. She stood to let her eyes adjust before she spied the Hollister sisters smiling and waving at her from a back table. She smiled and wove her way through the crowd. She stopped, looking at the fourth chair with a jacket over the back then at the blushing Gwen Hollister.
"Now don't get upset with me but I invited somebody to join us."
Diana laughed, "Are you trying to set me up on a blind date?"
Stephanie gave an embarrassed chuckle, "We understand about a certain, uh, misunderstanding that happened during your spring vacation."
Diana's eyes opened wider as she watched the tall blond man carrying drinks toward their table, "Oh, you have to be shitting me."
Gwen raised her hands "Now Diana, please hear us out. Steve really is a nice guy."
Steve Deforest stopped and placed the drinks at the table and took in the face of the stunned Diana still standing.
"Maybe this isn't a good idea, and I should leave," Steve said as he reached to grab his jacket nervously."
Gwen looked up at Diana with puppy dog eyes, "Diana?"
Diana reached out and put her hand on Steve's arm stopping him.
"No stay. Gwen and Stephanie mean well. It's kind of cute. I can't remember the last time somebody set me up for a date. Not that this is a date, buster."
Diana pointed her finger at the now grinning man, "I still remember what you said about my boys and that you owe me a pair of bikini bottoms."
Steve flushed red and raised his hands, "I still have them and can give them back to you at any time, I swear."
Stephanie laughed and clapped her hands, "I have never seen you so embarrassed, Steve."
Gwen giggled, "Gee, what have you been doing with those bottoms, Steve?"
The laughs got louder as Steve turned a deeper shade of red."
Steve stammered, "Nothing, honest. I have them in an envelope on my desk. Really."
Gwen raised an eyebrow and looked at Diana as she finally sat down, "Envelope? Just how tiny was that bikini?"
Now it was Diana's time to flush, "Oh hush, they were normal size."
Stephanie looked across at Diana, "I've been dying of curiosity. What did you do once you realized you weren't wearing your bottoms on the middle of a crowded beach?"
Diana continued to stay red, "Well, I, um, worked on my tan. Hey, it's not like I was the only one nude."
The Hollisters howled in laughter that eventually caused Diana to laugh along.
Diana looked at Steve with a twinkle in her eyes, "You were very mean to my boys, but with the show they got as a result I know they forgive you. The verdict is out for me."
"They probably want to thank you," Gwen chimed in.
Stephanie looked at Diana, "Your boys? I thought Matt was your only son."
Diana smiled, "The Lynns, Hamiltons, Brocks, and David and I all moved onto the block at the same time and became one big happy family. We shared everything and as the boys grew up and got close we all kind of took ownership collectively."
Gwen chuckled deeper, "Shared everything huh?"
Diana ducked her head, "Oh, no. I'm not having this conversation with an adult store owner and a prospective male at the same time."
Steve grinned and fist pumped, "I've elevated to 'prospective' - cool!"
Diana gave a cute half smile then deflected with a wave at a passing waitress so she could get a drink. She needed it as did the oh so familiar butterflies flittering in her stomach.

A nude Cindy padded into Matt's room and walked over to wrap her arms around her boyfriend as he sat at his desk. She nuzzled his neck. They both turned and looked down at the buzzing cell phone near his keyboard. She turned and sat on the edge of the bed as Matt answered the phone.
"Hey Mrs. Hamilton. Not problem. What? Really? Let me check with Cindy."
Matt swiveled and held the phone away from his head, "Mrs. Hamilton knows mom is out tonight and wanted to invite us over for dinner and maybe some fun if we want."
Cindy looked askew, "Fun like last time?"
Matt brought the phone back up to his ear, "Mrs. Hamilton, when you say 'fun' exactly what does that mean?"
Even Cindy could hear the laugh through the phone before Kim Hamilton answered.
Matt chuckled and turned back to Cindy, "Mr and Mrs Hamilton and Chip want to play apparently."
Cindy laughed as she shook her head, "Never in a million years before I met you did I even remotely imagine anything like this happening to me."
Matt gave an embarrassed smile, "You want me to say 'no?'"
Cindy vigorously shook her head, "Oh no, if you're happy then I'm perfectly happy having 'fun' as they call it. Are you sure you are alright with this?"
Matt laughed, "I was going to ask you the same question."
Cindy waved her hand at the phone, "Tell them we'll be over."
Matt smiled and returned to the phone, "Give us about a half hour; then we'll be there."
Cindy looked at Matt puzzled, "A half hour? It'll take me minutes to get dressed since I'll only be taking them off again soon enough, and they only live a couple houses away?"
Matt swiveled his chair around and pushed himself over to her and put his hands on her bare knees. He looked into her eyes.
"Are you sure you are okay with all this? I'm a naturally horny eighteen year-old whose mother gave me the keys to the candy shop months ago. This isn't your lifestyle."
