A perfect 88 degrees, not too humid, summer was at its peak. As my wife and I headed to the BBQ the windows were down, music was at high volume. There wasn’t too much conversation, she was buried in her phone while I was enjoying the tunes. We’ve already stopped to pick up a delicious dessert and some booze to bring to the party, rude to show up empty handed right?
“Wow, prepared and on time” I said with a grin on my face glancing towards the passenger seat. “There’s a first time for everything!” Lex replied with a laugh and half ass fist pump. “I can’t wait to eat, I’m starved!” As she continued to scroll.
The music overcame the conversation for the short duration of the ride. We pulled up to Matt and Claire’s house, I shut the car off and hopped out, giving a bit of a full stretch, arms in the air. “Ughh, ok” as I clapped my hands together “let’s get this party started!” I excitedly yelled as I unloaded the trunk. “I cannot believe you’re wearing that bathing suit!, Soon as you get out of the pool the whole party will see everything..” Lex stated, slightly annoyed. She was referring to the 5 in high cut bright pink banana decaled bathing suit I was wearing. “Haha!, Hey don’t knock my Amazon specials, need to show off when I can!” I joked back. She shook her head as we strolled towards the gate entering the yard.
