Take a nap

"I think I'm gonna take a short nap. The drive took a lot out of me."

"Oh? Are you sure it wasn't the sex?" Anne joked with a wink before heading out of the room and closing the door behind her. I gave a helpless smile before falling back onto the soft bed, not even bothering to put on any clothes. It did not take me more than five minutes before I fell into a comfortable sleep.

...

When I woke up, it was already well past mid-day. It looks like I had slept past lunch and all the way into the afternoon. I was feeling refreshed by the much needed nap and so I got up from bed and headed over to the window while wondering why Anne had not came over to wake me up for lunch. A quick check of my phone answered my question as I looked at the text from my wife telling me that she did not want to wake me after seeing me sleep so soundly. I smiled at her sweet consideration as I reached the window and looked out at the lush scenery outside.

My eyes were greeted by the canopy of large trees that provided constant shade for the cabin while keeping it cool. Under one of these large trees, I see a sheltered pavilion with four people seated in deck chairs. Anne's parents and mine were laughing and chatting leisurely while enjoying tarts and tea in the shade. Further away, behind a thick clump of bushes and down a slope, I could see the sparkling water of a small lake as it reflects the light from the midday sun. I closed my eyes and perked up my ears to see if I could hear the sound of the waters lapping against the shore, but ended up picking up sounds of laughter coming from the lake instead. Looks like that should be where everyone else is.

I decided that I should get dressed and join them at the lake so I quickly put on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt before heading towards the waterfront.

I was walking past the pavilion when I heard a voice calling out to me.

"I see you are finally awake Jake?"

I turned towards the voice to see my mother-in-law, Claudia standing at the pavilion and smiling at me. I gave her a friendly wave in return as my gaze lingered at the thin sundress she was wearing. I was once again reminded of what happened earlier in the bedroom when I was fantasizing about pinning her down underneath me. I shook off the thought as I greeted the other three people in the pavilion before quickly excusing myself, saying that I was on my way to the lake to join the rest. Before I left, I could not help but notice the various empty glasses placed on the tables in the pavilion. Exactly how much had they been drinking?

Deciding that it was not my place to question how much fun my elders should be having on this vacation, I slowly made my way down towards the lake. I had barely reached the edge of the beach and I could already hear laughter and the splashing of water.

In front of me, Alvin and Shandy were sitting on the beach, chatting with each other. Further away in the water, I could see three figures fooling around and playing in the lake. They were none other than Anne, Kristin and Patrick. I looked closer and was surprised to see all the ladies wearing their swimming suits! Shandy was wearing a hot red two-piece bikini, my sister Kristin was wearing a white one-piece while my wife was wearing a white t-shirt, but I could clearly see the navy blue bikini she usually wears underneath the wet top.

I slowly walked up to the two figures that were sitting on the stony beach first, observing them a little before I got closer. From behind, Shandy's figure was slim and fit. Her waist was thin, but it curved outwards to a supple pair of hips that completed her hourglass figure. I had to say, Shandy was a beautiful and sexy woman, and if I had not married Anne, I would most probably be together with Shandy since we were very, very close once. I even suspected that Shandy might have feelings for me as well.

But atlas, Anne did come into my life, and I decided that Shandy and I were simply not meant to be after putting things off between us for so long. After that, I found out that my best friend Alvin was attracted to her. The three of us had been friends since middle school so I was surprised that I had only noticed his attraction after so many years. When I talked to him about it, he told me that he had only recently found the courage to display his emotions more clearly. Unfortunately, even though I think Shandy knows about Alvin's feelings for her, she had been rather reserved about making a decision. She has been so close to both Alvin and I for so many years, she probably wants to take things slow for fear of ruining the long-built relationships we have between us. I could sort of understand her, after all, if she were to jump into a relationship with Alvin without being sure, and if the relationship were to fail, there was a high chance that the three of us might grow distant from each other as a result.

With a light sigh, I decided to stop worrying about the two of them and started walking towards them at a quicker pace, but what I saw next made me freeze in position. My two best friends had at some point in their conversation, turned towards each other and were now slowly making out in front of me! My mouth fell open slightly as I watched Alvin move his hand up the sides of Shandy arms and to her neck, cupping her cheek as his tongue pried open her lips and entered her mouth. I suddenly felt a mix of emotions within me, happiness, that the two of them seemed to have finally decided to get together, and also strangely, jealousy. I thought about how I used to fantasize a little about Shandy, and how Alvin's tongue was wrestling with her's in her mouth right now, a dull pain throbbed within me. The pain turned to arousal when I saw Alvin's hand slip downwards to cup one of Shandy's C-cupped breasts, giving it a firm squeeze while his thumb started flicking the small erected nub that had appeared in front of her swimsuit. When Alvin's thumb hooked on Shandy's bikini and pulled it to the side, revealing the pink and erected nipple of my best friend in the process, I found my cock hardening within my shorts.

Part of me wanted to keep watching to see what would happen, but another part of me wanted to stop whatever was happening right now out of jealousy. As I was deliberating what to do though, a soft cry of surprise from Shandy woke me up from my stupor. I turned to find her looking at me with her eyes wide open, her mind registering for a moment before realizing that I had caught her in such an embarrassing state. She quickly covered herself up while Alvin smiled at me with a sort of triumphant look on his face. Now that I have been seen, I could only walk over in embarrassment.

'Hey you two. Enjoying the beach I see?"

My comment turned out a little cheekier than I had intended, but it helped to alleviate the awkwardness that was lingering around the three of us a little. Looking for a spot next to Alvin to sit down, I spotted a few of the same cocktails my parents and in-laws had been enjoying in the pavilion earlier.

"What are all of these?" I said as I moved them away to make space for me to sit.

"Oh, your boss Keith brought them over earlier saying that it was something he came up with in his free time. It tastes really good actually.

"Yeah, I can tell, seeing how you all finished everything without leaving any for me." I joked as I gave Alvin a knowing nudge. He could tell that I was subtly congratulating him about the matter with Shandy so he gave a thankful smile before turning back to her. I did the same as well, only to find her looking at me with an adorable pout on her face.

"What's the matter? Don't like the drinks?" I said with an amused expression.

"You could at least make some noise instead of creeping up on us like that!" Shandy said with a faux angry huff.

"Oh I'm sorry, did I disturb you two?" I giggled, knowing that she wasn't really upset.

"Looks like they are having fun?" I said, pointing my chin towards the trio in the water. I was still feeling a little sour for some reason so I tried to avoid the subject of Alvin and Shandy being together.

"Why? Are you jealous?" Shandy said in a mocking tone when she looked in the direction of where I was pointing.

"Mmmm..." was the best I could muster as I thought briefly about what Shandy could have meant with her words before turning my attention back to the figures who were still splashing about in the lake.
