At the party

The beach was crowded with young adults, all around Lauren's age. This party was THE social event of the year, and Lauren recognized almost every face as a peer. Heads turned as she strut down the beach. Lauren smiled. She looked good! She'd have to thank Jennifer for this shaping bikini.

Lauren neared the area where the most people were congregated. There was music playing, and several kegs out. Some of the boys were BBQing, and there was a large co-gender game of volleyball happening. Lauren saw Brad, an old crush from high school and batted her eyes at him. Brad grinned at her, obviously checking her out. Lauren returned the favor, god he was hot! He looked like he was sculpted to perfection. Maybe he'd be a worthy mate to Lauren...

Lauren's promiscuous musings were interrupted as her sister approached. Of course Vanessa would be there, Lauren thought with annoyance.

"Lauren! Good to see you!" Vanessa said with false sincerity. "I just love your bikini!"

Vanessa knew this bikini well. She had personally removed the stitches and sewn it back up with the flimsiest of material before giving it to Jennifer to pass on to Lauren. It was all part of her master plan leading to this day!

"Thanks." Lauren said, with no interest in talking to her sister. She was here to mingle, show off her new look and meet boys, not bother with her annoying relative!

"Say, what's with the sarong?" Jennifer said. "Your legs are so pale, you should get some sun on them!"

"Don't pester me..." Lauren began, but was cut off as Vanessa grasped her sarong and pulled it away!
