I wake up from a dream of kissing and hanging out with Tom. What to wear today? How bout... My black tights with pink trim at the top and a black crop top with a small white sweater. Yep that will be comfortable for... WAIT! There isn't school today. It's Labor Day! I hop out of bed and grab my phone, texting Julie.
Hey u awake yet?
Yeah... What's up?
Nothing much, just wondering if you wanted to hang out. :P
Sorry, I'm busy today. Gotta go to HED, clean the whole house, and mow the lawn.
Ok... 🥺 Lemme know when you can hang.
Huh, so if Julie can't hang out, I wonder if Tom can. I go to his messages.
Hey whatssupp?
*Yawns* Just woke up. Wanna hang out?
😂 Sure. Come on over to my house and we can hang in my room.
KK, I'll be there in 5 minutes.
Alright I'll be standing outside, waiting.
I put my phone away and head outside, not bothering to change out of my sleep clothes. I stand there for 20 minutes before my phone finally buzzes.
Hey, my dad won't let me come over. Text Julia, maybe she could come over.
Okay, I'll try her again.
I switch to Julia's message line.
Could you please come over?😻
Yep, look up. ❤️
I look up to find Julia standing in front of my driveway in tights and a crop top.
"Hey, I thought you were busy." I wave her to come up. "Come on, we can go to my room."
She follows me as we walk in. "So a sports bra and short-shorts huh?"
I nod. "It's my sleep outfit. I just didn't bother to change."
"It's cute." She blushes and laughs. "It shows off your body really well."
I blush. "Thanks. Though I have a fat stomach." We walk into my room.
"I don't think it's fat." We lay down on my bed and she rubs my stomach. "I think it's perfect."
I reach over to hug and kiss her, but she stops me. "What? Why don't you want a hug? You always want hugs."
"Yesterday, I saw you and Tommy... Kissing. I- I wanna know why." She grabs my hand and threads her fingers through mine.
"Oh, did I not tell you? We are gonna be a threesome so we can all stay at the school. Though I don't know why he kissed me." I kiss her. "I will always love you. Now lemme get dressed in something presentable, and we can go outside. Could you text Tommy and ask him to come over to the water tower? Tell him to bring a swimsuit."
I change quickly while Julia texts Tom, facing away from me. Afterward, we go out and hop on our bikes, heading for the tower. We get there and find Tom there in swim trunks. We tell him to turn around and after he does we strip, putting on our bikinis. We run and jump in the water.
"Come on, Tom! Get in!" I laugh, splashing Julie with water. She tries to get me back, but misses. "Missed me, missed me now you gotta kiss me!" I start laughing as Julie disappears underneath the water, though a few seconds later she resurfaces in front of me and kisses me.
"AACK you're wet!" I sputter. Tom swims over and grabs me by the shoulders. "What-" he dunks me suddenly, making me take in a mouthful of water. I come up coughing and sputtering.
"Are you okay? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to down you." He looks at me worried, when I lunge at him and bowl him over into the water. We lay there in the water playing and swimming until we have to head back to my house for lunch. We run out of the water and put our clothes in my bag, not bothering to change. We ride to my house, eager to eat.
"So y'all want grilled cheese or chicken nuggies?" I open the door. "We don't have much to eat here."
"It's fine. And just so you know, we're not gonna make you cook in a bikini, so you girls sit on the couch and I will make us grilled cheese." Tom says, putting on his shirt.
Julie laughs. "I think we're gonna go upstairs and change, then get toasty under the covers while we wait."
We run up the stairs while Tom gets out the pan. I open my closet.
"So this morning, before I realized it was labor day, I got out an outfit, and it's really cute! Where is it?" I rummage in my closet while Julie changes out of her bikini into normal clothes. "Here it is!" I turn around showing the outfit as she opens the door to go downstairs.
"I like it. Imma head down to get some lunch." She pauses. "Come on down when you're changed."
"Okay!" I quickly change and bolt down the stairs, skipping the last two. I sit on the couch awaiting my grilled cheese. After a minute, Tom comes over with it and presents it to me like it's a fine dish. He sits down next to me with a wondering look on his face.
"So, why do you live in such a big house if your dad's never here? I've never seen him around." He looks at me. "You get what I'm asking?
I look at him with sadness in my eyes. "My dad died when I was ten. A drunk driver t-boned us, killing him instantly. I have a scar running halfway down my side from that accident. I almost died that day."
"Oh... Well... I don't really know what to say." He pauses and looks at me and Julie together. "I'm sorry. I think I should go. You guys are a great couple." He gets up and walks out of the house.
"Oh Marie, I'm so sorry that happened." She pauses. "I just don't think Tom was expecting that."
"It's fine. Let's just talk for a while."
We sit there talking for the rest of the day, until Julie finally has to go home. My mom is home and she fixes dinner as I recount the day for her. I go to bed after brushing my teeth.
