Chapter 1

Day 1 – Arrival

"Wow! Look at this place! Good pick, brother." The Reverend Richard Young stepped off the hotel shuttle and turned expansively to his brother-in-law. Tall and thin, dark-haired and dark-eyed, with an air of authority about him, he spread his arms wide, turning to encompass the mirrored glass edifice of and colorful vegetation flanking the entrance to the Paradise Cove Family Holiday Resort.

"How did you hear about it?"

Perry Johnson, computer programmer, followed Richard off the bus. A Cheshire grin plastered his face, "Glad you like. It's my pleasure to treat."

It had been his idea for both families to share a joint holiday. After creating several security programs the major banks all now used, he was richer than he'd ever realistically hoped to be. As a celebration of his good fortune, he offered to pay for everyone to fly down and enjoy 8 days/7 nights at "the best vacation resort your family can go to!" He could not have looked more different from Richard, only middling tall, with a barrel chest, gray eyes and blond hair.

Beaming proudly, Candice Johnson joined her husband, keeping her hand on his shoulder. She gave him a little hug, pressing her tall, willowy, blue-tennis-dress-clad body against his.

Her hazel eyes turned to her brother, "Isn't he the best, Rich? This is going to be a great trip. I predict we'll be closer than ever by the end of the week!" The cool tropical breeze ruffled her long brown hair.

Bottle-blonde Barbara Young moved over next to her husband. He draped his arm around her as she leaned her head against his shoulder. The white sundress she had on did nothing to hide her tanned, buxom, curvacious body.

Her blue eyes twinkled, "I sure hope so. It makes me feel good to see the kids getting along so well." Her brother, Perry met her gaze, nodding.

After Richard proposed to Barbara, still in seminary at the time, Perry had thrown an engagement party for his sister. When Richard's sister, Candice showed up, Perry was smitten. He followed her around the entire night. By the end of the party, they were a couple as well. Both couples were married exactly a year apart. Richard and Barbara waited to have their first child until he finished school and became a minister at Holy Oaks Unity Church in Springfield, U.S.A, where Perry and Candice lived. Coincidentally, both couples had their first child a month apart. Both were boys, who grew up best friends.

Now 16, Terry Johnson and Duke Young spilled off the bus laughing. While the parents were getting off the bus and chatting, Duke spotted a hot hotel employee, standing inside the doors with a tray of drinks balanced on one hand. The darkly-tanned, dark-haired girl had on a short, black mini-skirt, white linen blouse, and 4" stiletto heels. Ever the pussy-hound, his blue eyes locked on, and he gave a nudge. Terry glanced at his brown-haired best friend, and tracked back to the hottie waitress.

His gray eyes locked on as well, "Uh-huh, this is gonna be fun!"

Terry's younger brother, Tim, only 15, leaned over. "What? What is it?"

Terry and Duke both laughed, dashing into the hotel. "C'mon!" Terry called to his brother.

The two best friends were as different as their fathers. Duke was tall, wiry, with well-defined muscles and light brown hair. He was a typical Preacher's Kid, a trouble-maker. It often took both Terry and Tim to cover for him when he got going. Terry was of medium height, as was his brother. But where Terry carried his weight in the broad-shouldered, stocky build of a football linebacker (which he was, while Duke was a wide-receiver), Tim was more chunky, with that all-around square shape. Blond and introverted, Tim hated how he looked. He didn't play football with Duke and Terry, preferring computer-oriented activities like his father. He was convinced he'd never get a girl-friend; completely oblivious to the effect his intense, hazel gaze had on several female classmates. Still, whenever the older boys hung out, Terry made sure to include Tim. And while more athletic, Duke shared a bond with Tim after the latter configured Duke's computer so he could surf for porn without his stricter parents finding out.

Last off the bus were Perry and Barbara's twin daughters. Blonde, gray-eyed, and of medium height, the girls giggled quietly. The older brothers never noticed their sisters watching. Tina, a volleyball player, with a lean, athletic look, had crushed on her powerful oldest brother since, like forever. Tammie, the junior cheerleader and major social butterfly, was built like her aunt, with a voluptuous, hourglass figure. She'd long held a special place in her heart for Tim, but he never took the bait when she got her pretty friends to chat with him.

The girls followed their brothers into the hotel. They watched the boys surround a pretty waitress, taking drinks from her tray. Duke and Terry hit on her, their friendship driving each to out-do the other. Tim just sipped his beverage quietly.

"Would you young ladies care for a drink?" A tall, dark, handsome ... no wait, gorgeous waiter stepped in front of the twins. The girls gaped silently. He thrust a small tray of drinks at them, "Very tasty!"
