Evening Activities (Day 1, Part 8)

Zack walked up towards the cabin and smelled barbecue.

“Do you smell that?” Zack asked, glancing at Chloe, who was walking beside him. Chloe wore a one-piece black swimsuit. Zack was actually surprised she’d put on a swimsuit, as it highlighted his friend’s body in a way she usually never allowed.

“Yeah, I think somebody’s grilling food.” Chloe agreed, sniffing experimentally.

“I bet it’s Robert, he’s always looking for an excuse to break out that grill.” Monica said, walking up beside Zack.

Zack glanced over at his mother, who, like everybody else, still wore her swimsuit.

In Monica’s case, that meant her revealing purple bikini that showcased her ample breasts and her voluptuous curves. Zack hastily looked away.

“If it is Robert, he better have a lot of food made. Swimming always makes me hungry.” Gabriella chimed in.

“Me, too.” Ashley agreed.

The group from the pool followed the scent towards the grill, and discovered that Monica had been correct.

Robert Ravers was indeed manning the grill, while Damon Woodsen stood nearby, the two men talking as Robert loaded plates with hot dogs, grilled chicken breasts, and hamburgers.

Condiments sat on a wooden picnic table, along with some napkins and other plates loaded with buns and rolls.

“Come on, grab some meat and a bun and eat up!” Robert called when he saw the group approaching.

Everybody moved forwards to grab a plate, and at some point the people who went the lake showed up, along with Mia, Mallory, Gavin, and Paris, but they all showed up at separate times.

Soon, everybody was eating happily and Zack was sitting on a bench with Chloe squeezed against his left and Paris squeezed against his right.

Zack was doing his best to ignore how the sides of his cousin’s and his best friend’s large bosoms were pressed against his arms.

Opposite him was Hannah Woodsen, and Zack found it hard to keep his eyes off the radiant blond. On either side of Hannah was Taylor and Madison, and both dark-haired women diverted Zack’s eyes off of Hannah pretty frequently, but his eyes always returned to Hannah and her sultry smiles, and those large breasts in her skimpy green bikini.

Paris bumped her shoulder against Zack’s and jerked her chin over to where Kurt was talking with Monica, who looked faintly amused.

“You’re not worried about that?” Paris wondered.

“Kurt and my mom talking?” Zack asked in confusion, “Why would I be worried about that?”

“Because Kurt’s infamously good at getting in women’s panties.” Hannah supplied.

“Like hell he is.” Heather snorted from the other side of Paris.

“I dunno, I’ve heard he’s quite the ladies man.” Hannah said.

“I’m willing to bet my inheritance he spread all of those stories. He’s got charisma, sure, but not enough to make married women fall over him.” Heather said, “They can all see his asshole-ness from miles away.”

Zack chuckled.

“What do you think, Zacky? Is Kurt charming enough to seduce your mom?” Hannah asked, leaning forwards and propping her chin on her hands.

“Uh, definitely not.” Zack said, shaking his head and trying hard not to look down past Hannah’s face, “Mom’s definitely not falling for his asshole tricks. I remember when he tried to seduce Taylor.”

“Ah, yes. And she knocked him on his ass. Fond memories.” Hannah said wistfully, and shared a proud grin with Taylor.

Zack glanced over to see that Monica was laughing at something Kurt had said, but Kurt looked none too pleased, meaning he had probably just been rejected or something.

Zack cast his gaze around the rest of the people.

Daniel and Audrey were chatting with Robert and Damon.

Zack had to admit Audrey looked great in her white bikini. His eyes met hers, and she gave him a warm smile, which he returned after a beat, a bit embarrassed to be caught staring, though Audrey didn’t seem too bothered by it

Over to the side, Vanessa was talking heatedly with Gabriella, who appeared to be more interested in watching her son, Jared, talk to Sharon.

Sarah was talking with Charlotte and Diane, and when he caught Charlotte’s eye, she waved.

Charlotte wore a bright cobalt blue bikini that showed off just how voluptuous she truly was, and while Charlotte was definitely busty, both Sarah and Diane outclassed her, though Charlotte narrowly beat out Monica.

Diane, in a grass green bikini, offered Zack a kind smile, which he returned.

Charlotte made a beckoning motion, and Zack glanced around at his friends, who were engaged in a discussion about school, mainly how excited they were that the school year was over, and they were seniors now.

Zack moved to stand, and Hannah instantly looked towards him.

“Where are you going?” she asked.

“Uh, over there. Mrs. McRose is calling me.” Zack shrugged, and stood up to walk over to the three gorgeous women.

Sarah, just like when Zack had last seen her, looked incredibly in her sky blue bikini.

“Zack, could you do me a favor?” Charlotte asked hopefully.

“Um, I’ll try. What do you need?” Zack asked.

“Can you run inside and grab another bottle of red wine?” Charlotte asked, lifting her empty glass.

“You shouldn’t have called him over here for that!” Diane protested, “You could have very easily gotten that for yourself.”

“Well, sure. But that’s no fun.” Charlotte said. Zack sighed.

“I’ll go get that for you, Mrs. McRose. It’s fine.” Zack said, and Charlotte gave Zack a pleased smile.

“Thank you.” she said, and Zack trudged back towards the cabin, a little disappointed that he hadn’t been called to hang out with those gorgeous women, but then, why would he be?

He was just a kid, really. A kid who was legally an adult now, but that didn’t make him adult-y enough to hang out with the mothers of his best friends and the girl he was crushing on.

Zack walked into the cabin and went for the kitchen, where he knew the wine rack to be, but when he got there, he found a woman leaning against the counter, drinking wine from a very fancy wineglass. Their stance shoved their breasts out forwards, maybe unconsciously, but Zack couldn’t help but stare.

Leah Green gave Zack a smile.

“Hey.” she greeted, “My water war partner.”

“Yeah, thanks for that. I don’t think I could’ve taken on Logan AND Ashley.” Zack chuckled awkwardly.

“You looked like you handled Ashley just fine.” Leah said suggestively, winking.

“W-what?” Zack blinked as Leah walked forwards, swinging her hips as she did so.

“You know Robert and I are in an open relationship, right?” Leah wondered.

“No, I can’t say I do.” Zack said truthfully.

“Oh. Well, we are. But Robert said that I couldn’t have sex with any of his daughter’s friends. I agreed, because, no offense, I figured you guys would be pretty ugly. But you, Zack, are anything but.” Leah said huskily, “And your friend Logan? Oh, the things I could do with him. Shame he’s Robert’s nephew. The nerdy one, Gavin? There’s something hot about being the woman to take someone’s virginity.”

Zack just stared at the redhead before him in utter disbelief.

Leah reached out and stroked Zack’s cheek, causing him to go tense. She leaned forwards to whisper in Zack’s ear.

“I’m just saying, Zack, if you ever want to go a few rounds with me, you know where to find me.” Leah said in a seductive whisper, sending goosebumps along Zack’s skin.

“I… I’m a virgin.” Zack felt like he needed to share that. Leah’s sultry grin turned almost lustful.

“You’re serious?” Leah asked in a hushed tone.

“Uh, yeah.” Zack nodded. Leah took a deep breath, and Zack noticed her hand was shaking. Weird.

“Please, Zack, come find me at some point during this trip. I will blow your mind, I promise.” Leah said. Then, she walked off, leaving Zack standing there.

That wasn’t real, right? Either Leah was faking, lying, or both, or Zack was suffering from hallucinations, but that kind of thing doesn’t just HAPPEN.

Zack grabbed a wine bottle off of the rack and started making his way back to the back yard, but realized abruptly that he was painfully erect, and he had to adjust his swim trunks a little bit first before he could return to the outdoors.

When he did, he saw Leah watching him from beside Robert, and she licked her lips while staring right at him. Hallucinations. That was Zack’s guess. He was hallucinating Leah’s interest in him.

Zack hefted the bottle of wine as he approached Charlotte, Diane, and Sarah, and the former gave a delighted clap. Charlotte took the bottle from Zack and opened it with a ‘pop’. She poured more wine into Sarah’s glass, Diane’s glass, and her own glass, then she turned to Zack.

“Want some?” she offered.

“No thanks. I don’t drink alcohol.” Zack refused. Charlotte shrugged.

“Your loss. Robert always buys the good stuff.” Charlotte winked, and Sarah reached out with one arm to give him a one-armed hug which smushed her right breast into Zack’s chest.

“Thanks for grabbing the wine, Zack. Charlotte would say thank you, but she’s too rude to do that.” Sarah teased.

Charlotte tossed her mane of red hair and leaned forwards to kiss Zack on the cheek.

“Thanks, Zack.” she winked.

Diane didn’t hold back with affection, she threw her arms around Zack in a hug as thanks.

Diane had always been an affectionate woman, and Zack was the best friend of her son, after all. It did make sense.

Zack excused himself from the three women and returned to his group of friends.

“How was the errand?” Hannah asked curiously.

“Super hard.” Zack said, but he was kind of referencing something else.

“So, guys, is there a plan for the rest of the night?” Heather inquired, glancing around the picnic table where the teenagers sat.

“I bet I could kick Bishop’s ass in pool.” Brandon said randomly. Everybody turned to look at Brandon.

“Me, Taylor, or Paris?” Zack wondered.

“You.” Brandon rolled his eyes.

“Oh, good. They’re pool sharks.” Zack said, and Paris and Taylor exchanged devious grins.

“So, pool contest?” Brandon prompted.

“Nah.” Heather shook her head, “We should watch a movie.”

“We could kick out the parents and make it a teens only night!” Ashley exclaimed excitedly.

Heather and Ashley high-fived.

“Great idea!” Heather said.

———

A half hour later, everybody who was younger than 22 gathered in the theater.

They’d changed out of their swimsuits and into pajamas, and grouped up in small groups like they usually did.

Zack was flanked by Chloe and Mia.

Gavin was on Chloe’s other side, and Paris was sat down on Gavin’s right.

Hannah and Taylor sat in the row in front of the five, with Hannah in front of Zack and Taylor in front of Chloe.

Ashley and Brandon were cuddled up together not too far away from them.

Heather was sitting with Sharon and Madison, the three cheerleaders chatting excitedly.

Logan and Jared were sitting two rows in front of Hannah and Taylor. Kurt had dubbed himself ‘too cool for a movie’.

“Alright, I’m starting the movie. Everybody be quiet.” Heather announced, and everybody complied as the lights turned off and a film started playing on the giant TV screen.

Zack sat through forty minutes of a science fiction romance movie or something before his phone buzzed.

Chloe made a shh sound without even glancing at him, and Zack bumped his shoulder against hers.

She bumped hers back and settled against Zack’s side, her head leaning on his shoulder. This was far from unusual, as Zack and Chloe usually snuggled up like they were a couple, but in reality, they were just really good friends.

Zack pulled his phone from his pocket carefully, and ensured his screen was on the lowest brightness.

It was a text from his mom saying:

‘Wanna have game night with the adults or keep watching the movie?’
