A beach trip, but this time with everybody

"Hey, how about we go down to the beach today?" Emily said while everybody was lazing around the living room.

"Didn't you just go down there like an hour ago?" Anna said.

"Yeah, but not with everybody. C'mon, it'll be fun!"

"Sure, why not," Amber said. "We came all the way out here to the beach, we might as well go onto the beach before it gets too late in the season and crowded."

"I'm in," Mary said.

"Sure, why not," I agreed.

Looked like I was going down to the beach with everybody today.

After a few minutes, everyone was ready to go down to the beach, wearing their swimsuits. None of them were wearing anything special, mostly just one-piece swimsuits or very conservative bikinis.

"You actually gonna remember everything we need to get in this time, John?" Emily asked.

"Ha ha ha, yes, I have my phone, key, and I know where our beach house is," I responded, rolling my eyes.

"I have my stuff as well," Paige said. "I'm not planning on getting in the water."

"C'mon, Paige!" Amber said. "It'll be fun! You can just leave your stuff with whomever is staying on the beach!"

"Maybe later," she responded. "We have two whole months here."

We all walked down the hill, descending onto the beach. It was pretty empty, since it was still May, but I saw a few people when I looked up and down the coast. The 10 of us set up a bunch of beach stuff, like umbrellas, towels, and a tent. 8 of them went out to the water, leaving me and Paige behind on the beach. We were both sitting out in the sun, just soaking up the warmth or California.

"So, what happened between you and Mary on the pier?" she asked.

"Huh?" you said.

"You and Mary. I doubt that she didn't try to do something to you while you were out there alone. You mentioned that Emily left the two of you alone while she tried to find a way back to the beach house."

Shit. Did I tell her? She was probably gonna find out one way or another, whether that be through grilling Mary, someone slipping up, or just intuition.

"Yeah, something did happen. She was basically talking about how she saw me as the antithesis of Chris, and she was talking about how badly she wanted to be in the place of Becca".

"Wow, that's...heavy".

"Definitely."

"So how did you respond? She seemed in pretty high spirits. Don't tell me that you dumped your girlfriend just to appease her sister."

"No, no, I would never. I came to some sort of agreement. I have to talk it over with Becca whenever I have a minute, but Mary seemed to like the idea of a polyamorous relationship."

"A polyamorous relationship? How on Earth would Becca agree to that? She's like the most jealous person I've ever met! Did you even think that over when you were talking to Mary?"

"Of course I thought it over. No one knows her better than I do, well, probably aside from her parents and Mary herself. She can be jealous, but when it comes down to it, I doubt she'll be any less happier, and Mary's happiness may override Becca's jealousy in her mind. I don't really know how to put it, really, but I can't really see it."

"Whatever you say."

Both of us sat in silence for a minute or so.

"Hey, can you get my back?" Paige said, suddenly.

I glanced over at her and she was holding a bottle of sunscreen.

"Sure," I said tentatively.

She handed me the bottle, laid down on the towel, and said "I'm probably just gonna sleep here, so if you go in the water, make sure someone comes by and watches our stuff."

I took a look behind me. The 8 of them were in their own little world, and even if someone saw what I was doing, I could just say that Paige wanted me to, right? Nothing wrong with that. Just someone helping a friend out.

I squirted some of the sunscreen onto my hands and started massaging the cool lotion onto her shoulders and upper back, rubbing it in. I slowly started working down, ignoring the part of her back where her top was tied together.

Ignored it, that is, until she untied it. If she wasn't laying face-down, her tits would be out for the world to see.

"What're you doing?" I asked, incredulously.

"I don't want to get a tan line," she said, nonchalantly. "I'll re-tie it once you're done."

This was ridiculous. She tries to talk Mary out of trying to form a romantic relationship with me, and then she goes and unties her swimsuit top in front of me.

Whatever, I might as well just finish. I applied more sunscreen from my hands onto Paige's now-bare back, not daring to move too close to her toned ass. Finishing up fairly quickly, I told her "All done", and she tied her top back on, acting like nothing ever happened. I went back to my beach towel, seeing that everyone in the water was still lost in their own world.
