“Okay, so we’ll be back around 5. Just keep the house clean, and no guests other than who you already told me were coming over,” Sandra instructed, and Dani and X nodded. They sat on the living room couch as a television show played; Sandra and Vanity were about to leave to run errands, as Danielle had told Candice the night before.

“Got it,” Dani smiled, and looked back as the women left the house, leaving she and X alone for the moment. “You don’t mind if Candice comes over to use the pool, right?” She glanced over at X, and he shrugged carelessly.

“It’s cool with me, ma. Your homegirl is just a little…active, you know,” X explained, and Dani laughed a bit. Candice had known Dani and X for quite a while and they both knew she could be a little excitable.

“Well I know Terrence is coming too, so you’ll have someone to talk to,” Dani tried to sweeten the deal with the tidbit of information, but she noticed that X grew a bit rigid at the mention of the boy. She figured that maybe they weren’t friends or something of the sort. “Or not,” She chuckled as she got up from the couch, heading into the kitchen.

It wasn’t an “awkward” situation, but Dani couldn’t help but feel awkward after what transpired the night before. She had seen X masturbating and it turned her on to the point that she had to play with herself. She had never seen him in that way before and in her mind, she still didn’t see him like that. But even with that said, she found herself thinking about it constantly. But for now, she’d busy herself with making lunch for them along with their future guests.

Dani had gone through the trouble to make sandwiches and lay out some bags of chips before she heard the doorbell. She put everything out on the kitchen island before heading towards the front door, looking through the peephole and seeing the familiar head of black coiled curls. She opened the door and was met with a bear hug.

“Hey girl,” Candice warmly greeted, and Dani laughed softly as she hugged her friend in return. Pulling away, Candice gave a huge smile, shaking her head. “I’m ready to get in the pool, sis. Let’s do this,” She laughed as she passed Dani and invited herself into the house.

Dani turned back towards the door and Terrence was standing nearby, giving a light wave in greeting as he gave a closed smile. “What’s up Dani,” He said, and she nodded as she allowed him inside the house.

Closing the door behind her, she walked back into the living room and headed for the sliding door that led to the backyard. “Alright, are we swimming or what?” She grinned, and the other three teens followed her outside.

The backyard area was fairly large, but was mostly for entertainment. The pool was pretty standard—six feet of water and rectangular that laid beyond the wooden patio deck where there were some tables and chairs.

“I can’t wait to swim. I’ve been waiting for this since the weather finally got warm again,” Candice commented before she began to slip off her shirt and shorts. Candice was an “early bloomer,” and she took advantage of the fact. She was only two inches taller than Danielle, and her breasts were nearing a D cup as compared to Dani’s C’s. Her brown skin seemed to shimmer in the sunlight, and she had big brown eyes that sometimes made her look like a doll. With her big curly hair to match, she was probably the only girl Dani was ever jealous of. The way her orange bikini fit against her body was nearly perfect; the top was just enough to hold her breasts, and her round ass looked beautiful in her bottoms.

Dani slipped off her cover-up dress and sat it on a nearby chair, looking down at her own body that seemed to fit perfectly in her lime green one piece. She liked her body for what it was, despite her slight envy. Her breasts were just the right size to her, and her bottom was round but not too big. Dani’s legs were her strong point however, seeing as she ran track at school.

Unlike X’s athletic yet skinny body, Terrence was a bit more swollen and muscular. He played football and was also on the wrestling team, so it was no surprise that he was bigger. He was 6’ even, which sometimes made him look bigger than he really was. But in reality, Terrence was a quiet boy and despite how big and intimidating he looked, he probably wouldn’t ever hurt anyone intentionally. He was a typical light skinned guy, with pretty hazel eyes and a look that made girls want him. Dani could see why she crushed on him so hard In middle school, but she never liked anyone for too long. She was just awkward like that.

Before long, everyone was in the pool and was having a wonderful time enjoying the cool water in the warm sun. But before long, they stopped actually swimming and just hung on the deck, talking and laughing over sodas they got from inside the house.

“Okay, so can I ask a question?” X spoke up before he glanced at Candice, raising an eyebrow. “It’s no disrespect, but what’s your body count for real?” He asked.

“X, you can’t just ask that!” Dani wasn’t one to openly talk about sex—it embarrassed her so much. Plus, she didn’t want Candice to be offended at the question.

“No, it’s cool. I’ve only fucked like two guys: the guy I lost my virginity to and my ex-boyfriend,” Candice replied proudly before laughing.

“For real? I would have sworn it would be more. Apparently you know a lot about sex. At least that’s what the girls say,” Terrence commented, and Candice rolled her eyes before giggling.

“Of course they said that! They’re probably jealous of me for some reason, but it’s the truth though! I do know a lot about sex because I read books and stuff. It doesn’t hurt to know,” She shrugged. “What about you, Dani? How many guys have you fucked?” She asked.

Dani noticed the knowing smile on Candice’s face and she twisted her lips slightly; Candice was up to something.
