Danielle walked by.

“Well, you don't look fine. And you'd better pick up your attitude. The guests are starting to arrive."

I looked around. Sure enough, various acquaintances were starting to come out to the backyard, drinks in hand. Several coworkers from Danielle and Cherys' respective workplaces, Dan and Marshall from my Engineering firm, and a few old college friends were also coming in. All in all, we expected 20-25 people to barbecue with us and hang out.

Cherys was cruising by, cell phone in hand. Kevin waved, "Dude, don't you know cell phone radiation is bad for the baby?" I think he was starting to get buzzed already.

Cherys smirked and waved him off. Then she clapped the phone shut.

"Kevin, can you take over the barbecue? David, I've got a little surprise for you inside the house." Her voice dropped to a husk and she winked at me.

For a second, my jaw dropped. I knew Cherys' hormones were out of control now that she was in the last couple of months before giving birth, but a quickie while all these guests were around?

Cherys caught my look and started laughing.

“No, not that. A real surprise. Come on."

I followed her into the house and over by the front door. Then without another word, she spun and stopped.

I looked at her kind of funny for a few seconds of awkward silence before finally asking, "what?"

Just then, the doorbell rang, and a wide smile spread across Cherys' face. She indicated with her head and tentatively, I went to open the door.

There were two young women outside, and as soon as I came into view, E-

Beth squealed and jumped at me.

“David!"

“E-Beth!" I laughed happily and wrapped my arms around her, wrapping us together in a hug as we spun around. Like always, seeing my dear friend after so much time apart did wonders for lifting my spirits.

She laughed with me until I finally set her down.

“Surprise!” “What are you doing here?" She punched my chest.

“Visiting YOU, dork!"

I looked back and forth between her and Cherys.

“Are you going to do this to me EVERY time?" I asked E-Beth.

“Just once, I'd like you to call ME to tell me you're coming instead of calling Danielle or Cherys."

“Nah. It's more fun this way.”

It was then that I noticed the other girl fidgeting slightly behind E- Beth. When my gaze went over, E-Beth giggled and said, “Oops. I'm sorry. David, Cherys, this is my friend Alicia. Alicia... David and Cherys. I'm sure Danielle's running around somewhere making sure the party is going smoothly."

Alicia was a tall redhead, and as my eyes quickly dropped down her body I was amazed I hadn't paid closer attention before. She was built like a Barbie doll and had good cheekbones, although I thought her makeup was a tad too severe. I couldn't see the rest of her face as she still wore big, black Chanel sunglasses and her red hair hung short and straight to frame her face. Beyond that, her outfit was suitably skimpy for the warm weather, and I felt a stirring in my cock just looking at her and the creamy naked skin being revealed before me.
