Chapter 13

Anna was chatting with Ellen about her classes when she noticed Josie and Jake back out on the dance floor. She glanced down at her watch; they'd been gone for nearly a half hour. Ellen turned to see what Anna was looking at and saw Josie and Jake, dancing and laughing.

"Guess they're back," she said, turning back to Anna.

Anna smiled. "Yep. Feel like dancing?"

Monica overheard her and answered before Ellen could. "You bet! Let's go, we've been sitting around all night!"

Angie got up too and the four of them made their way through the crowd to meet the happy couple. They all had a good time dancing the rest of the night away, especially Jake who couldn't wipe the silly grin off his face. He was surrounded by sexy, flirtatious women.

They stayed until the lights came on at Lotus and the bouncers started kicking everyone out. They exited the club laughing and feeling happy but tired after a long night of dancing. Out on the sidewalk they grouped together before heading off on their separate ways.

"So Rachel never made it," Angie observed. "I was hoping she'd come out to join us tonight."

"I'm not surprised," Ellen said, "but it would have been fun to have her along."

Jake looked at Ellen, appreciating how sexy she looked, just a little flush from the dancing. He smiled at her, and she smiled back at him.

"Well, we'll just have to drag her out one of these nights," he said.

Monica threw her arms around Jake's waist, surprising him with a warm bear hug.

"Speaking of dragging people out," she said, squeezing him so that her head was against his chest, "it's about time you came out dancing with us. You should do this more often. You're a good dancer."

Jake casually draped an arm around her shoulders, hugging her back. "Sure, sure I am. I could hear the laughing over all that music." He shook his hips a little, bouncing Monica's little body around, causing her to giggle.

Jake liked the feel of her body against his. At some point throughout the evening he'd rubbed up against each of the girls; though he'd spent most of his time dancing with Josie, they'd all been close and had shifted around often. He squeezed Monica's shoulders more tightly, hugging her body to his and laughing with her.

Josie watched, grinning. Everyone was fairly drunk at this point, and Josie was feeling no pain. Seeing Jake goofing around with Monica only fired her imagination once more. She laughed at herself as she pictured Jake picking Monica up and fucking her where they stood. Jesus, she thought, I'm such a horn-dog. She decided she needed Jake inside her again as soon as possible.

Angie threw her arm around Ellen in a friendly manner. She was also feeling pretty buzzed, and didn't want the night to end just yet.

"Who's up for some late-night tacos?"

Jake just laughed. "You're crazy. I need to get home before I pass out on my feet. It's after three in the morning!"

Josie came up to stand on Jake's other side.

"Yeah, I'm calling it a night too; I'm beat." She gave Jake a grin, and he knew exactly what she had in mind.

The next day Jake groggily scratched his head and went to answer the door. He had no idea who'd be ringing his doorbell right now, late Saturday morning. Josie was still asleep upstairs, having finally fallen asleep close to dawn; she and Jake had worn each other out in a marathon session that neither of them had wanted to end. Jake had gotten up about an hour ago, but he'd let Josie sleep, figuring she'd need the recuperation time. He'd been playing a game on his computer, dressed only in a pair of old jeans.

"Um, hello?"

Jake didn't recognize the girls at the door, though one of them did seem kind of familiar to him. Her dark hair was pulled back in a ponytail, and behind her thick-rimmed glasses were a pair of deep brown eyes that went well with her warm, olive complexion. She made a striking figure, even though she was dressed rather plainly in a pair of shorts and an over-sized t-shirt. She had a shy way about her, while her companion was much more bold, a grinning, buxom young strawberry blond dressed in some sort of mini-skirt outfit that showed off her generous curves.

"Hi," the brunette said hesitantly. "Um, you probably don't know me, but I'm your neighbor. I live in the house behind yours."

"Oh, really? Nice to meet you." Jake didn't really know his neighbors well. He was pretty sure he was the only student in the neighborhood. These girls were clearly too young to be in college, in any event.

"Um, yeah. I'm Ally, and this is Fiona."

"Hi!" The blond kept twisting back and forth behind Ally; she had a big grin on her face, but she seemed a little nervous too.

"Hi there. I'm Jake."

He extended his hand to Ally, who hesitated just a second before shaking it. Fiona giggled and held her hand out until Jake shook it as well.

"I think maybe I've seen you around, Ally," Jake said, smiling warmly at the pleasant sight of the two girls on his doorstep. "You look familiar to me."

"Yeah, I work at the movie theater downtown. I've sold you tickets before."

Aha, yes, Jake suddenly remembered her, finally placing her face as that of the young ticket-seller who flirted with him occassionally.

"So, what can I do for you ladies?" Jake was conscious now that he was shirtless, but he was more amused by these cute young things, wondering what they were up to.

"Um, well, we..." Ally looked to Fiona, who continued to grin. "We were wondering if maybe you could take us to the liquor store."

Jake appraised the girls, the purpose of their visit becoming clear.

"No offense, but you guys don't look like you're old enough to buy booze."

Fiona laughed at that, and Ally blushed.

"Yeah, that's the thing. We were wondering if, well..."

"Hey, why don't you guys step inside for a minute," Jake offered, taking a quick look up and down the street. His house was pretty secluded, surrounded by trees as it was, but he suddenly felt a little conspicuous.

The girls looked at each other, then stepped into the house, looking around.

"Wow, you have a really nice house, Jake," Fiona said.

"Thanks, we like it. Here, let's go out on the deck." Jake wasn't sure what he was doing, but he felt like it would be better for everyone if they spoke out back rather than in the house. He led them through the kitchen and the den and outside to the upper deck. The girls were clearly impressed with the house.

Fiona went directly to the edge of the deck and leaned over, giving Jake a nice view of her round little high-school ass as her skirt hiked up her thighs.

"Ally, look, you can see your house from here."

Ally looked a little embarrassed by her friend, but went over to look anyway. Jake followed and saw what Fiona was pointing to. Jake had noticed the green house down the hill from him before, of course. It was mostly obscured by trees, but you could just make out the swimming pool and back porch.

"That's where we hang out most of the time," Fiona told Jake. "We see you guys up here when you have parties. They look like they're a blast!"

Ally blushed now, and Jake wondered just how much time these girls spent looking up at his house through the trees. He didn't remember ever seeing anyone in that pool before, but he'd never really looked. He'd like to see these two in their bathing suits, though; he made a mental note to look down there more often.

"So, you guys need someone to buy you some booze, is that it?" Jake decided to cut to the chase.

"Yeah, that's what we were hoping," Ally said. "My folks are going out of town next weekend, and we were hoping to get something for us and our friends. It's not gonna be a big party or anything, just some friends hanging out at the pool."

"How old are you guys?"

"We both just turned seventeen," Fiona chimed in. "It's our senior year, so it's not like we're little kids or anything."

No, it's not like you two are little kids at all, Jake observed. Ally was much more slender than Fiona, but both of these girls were quite sexy, even if they were jailbait. He had to smile. He wouldn't mind getting the two of them in the hot-tub sometime.

"We usually have someone else who can buy for us, but she's out of town too, so we're out of luck." Ally looked expectantly at Jake, clearly uncomfortable with the situation but hoping he'd take pity on them.

"We've got a ton of stuff here that you guys can just have, but where are you going to put it until next weekend?"

Ally and Fiona were clearly happy to hear that. They looked at each other with excited smiles, then back to Jake.

"Well, I guess I was just going to hide it in my room somewhere," Ally said, suddenly frowning. It hadn't occurred to her that she'd need to stash whatever they got somewhere until Friday. She could keep it in her room, true, but it would be a disaster if her mom found it before they left.

"Okay, I'll tell you what. You guys can't get started until your parents leave for the weekend anyway, right? Why don't you just give me a ring when the coast is clear, and then you guys can come over and get whatever it is you need. Cool?"

"Hell yes, that's cool!" Fiona burst out. "Wow, thanks, Jake! This is so gonna rock!"

"Wow, yeah, that's so nice of you," Ally said, surprised that Jake was so willing to help them out.

"Hey, don't worry about it, I've been there. Just don't get yourselves in trouble, okay?" Jake grinned, feeling like a dirty old man. He couldn't believe he was now providing booze to minors, but the idea of it cracked him up.

Ally and Fiona both assured him that they'd be careful, they were only having a few friends over, etc. They offered to pay Jake in advance, but he told them not to worry about the money. "We've got more stuff here than we'll ever use, you guys can just help yourself to whatever you want. That is, unless you were thinking of getting a keg or something." Jake was half-joking, but he could tell by the way the girls' faces lit up that they thought that would be cool.

"Well, maybe just a pony?" Fiona asked, obviously the bolder of the two. Ally shot her a look, but then turned to see what Jake would say.

He just laughed, shaking his head.

"Okay, maybe you should just write down what you need."

Later that day, Fiona and another of their friends, Ashley, had come back over to Ally's for a swim. Dressed in their little bikinis, the young girls were excitedly talking about the upcoming party next weekend.

"You should have seen him, Ashley," Fiona was gushing, "Jake is so hot! Tell her, Ally."

Ally was more reserved, a little uncomfortable with the subject, but she nodded, smiling shyly. "He's really cute. And he's so nice to take care of that stuff for us."

"Hell yeah, it's nice. It sounds like he's just gonna get everything for us, and not even ask for any money! God, he must be loaded." Fiona was clearly smitten with Jake, as was Ally.

Ashley smiled. She knew Ally had had a crush on her mystery neighbor ever since he moved in.

"I can't believe you guys just went up to his door and asked him," Ashley told them.

Ashley was swimming around in the pool, staying close to where Fiona and Ally sat on the edge, dipping their legs into the sun-warmed water. Her figure was somewhere between Ally's slender form and Fiona's more voluptuous one, a nicely rounded set of curves that filled out her bikini nicely. She'd known Ally and Fiona for years, and they were good friends despite the fact that she was a year behind them in school.
