See, they’re doing to Lorraine.”As per her words, the four pillar men were now giving Lorraine a full body massage as if it was an act of worship....It looked like something from an old Britney Spears music video. For fuck’s sake, there are people watching! Before I could say anything, the rest of the girls tackled me.“Dr. Lawrence, a little help please!”The doctor had just sat down in a beach chair and cracked open a beer. “Sorry, but I’m going to have to follow the Prime Directive on this. .."All heads turned her way, you could hear the syrup flowing down the cakes.Finally, Erin broke the tension.

That evening, dad and Tyler were downstairs in the family room watching a college football game they recorded earlier. Mom and I were in the kitchen. Mom is in a good mood and I figured now was as good a time as any for the talk I’ve been putting off having with her. I took a deep breath and tried to sound calm and reasonable. I tried not to let her hear the nervousness in my voice when I said, “Mom, we need to talk.”She froze.I laughed and said, “Relax, mom. I’m not pregnant.”She grinned. I moaned again, this time making it clear what was about to happen, and Robin stopped moving her hand, pulling it away.I heard another moan from across the table and looked opened my eyes. Across the table Brandi was sitting in her boyfriend’s lap, Kristi was on her knees next to them, her hand between them. It was a mirror image of what was happening on my side of the table.
