It was now July 4th, aka Independence Day. Jessie was beyond thrilled for her party she was hosting. It was a good chance to spend time with her friends and her family (most notably, her daughter and future step-son).

"Okay, I got the snacks all set out, the pool's completely filled up, the fireworks are in place. Now all I need is someone who knows how to barbeque..."

She knew how to do everything she had planned, all except for grilling meat. She got this grill as a gift, but had never touched it or used one in her life.

"Eh, how hard could it be?" she said, taking matters into her own hands. She proceeded to slap the meat on the grill, as well as adding charcoal fluid to it.

But, this did seem a bit harder than she thought. The flames that were spewing out were getting a bit too hot, even for this ex-porn star.

"Oh shit, this is getting too hot."

The blonde MILF began to panic, but that was immediately quelled as soon as a familiar face stepped in.

"I'll handle this, Ms. Jessie." the beastly ginger man said, taking over the grill.

"Oh shit! Hi, Vinnie. What are you doing here?" she asked, relieved to see an old friend.

"Marlena invited me. Kyanna and Philly are in your house right now chatting with Lola."

She blinked, surprised at how many people had randomly showed up the moment she turned her head away. I really AM letting the moments go by.

"Lola's here?"

The ginger man nodded. Jessie was happy about that.

"I'll take care of the grilling. You just relax and enjoy yourself today, Jess."

She smiled at him, flattered by his generosity.

"Thank you, Vin. I really appreciate it."

He nodded, proceeding to focus on the meat he was cooking for the barbeque.


The blonde MILF went inside of her home, greeted by a Latina, her 4 year old son, and an old friend who worked as a flight attendant.

"Well there you are! Get too hot for you?" the flight attendant teased, happy to be back in the city for the week.

"Ah, same old Lola. Yeah, I guess you could say that. I couldn't take the heat, so Vinnie's handling it. He's such a sweetheart."

"Yeah, he really is. He's been taking good care of Philip while I'm at work all day. He's definitely a loving man. I swear, I wanna marry him." the Latina chick said.

Hearing this was pretty wholesome to the blonde MILF's ears.

"So, how's that fashion business going along?" she asked the flight attendant.

"Erm... It's going fine. But, there is one problem." she said, sounding a bit ominous.

"What's wrong, Lola?"

"My assistant, Zoey, has been missing for a long time. It's like she vanished some time in November. I did briefly hear from her in May, but that was it. It feels like she's deliberately ignoring my texts and shit. Pretty inconvenient, if you ask me."

The blonde MILF nodded. "Well, maybe she's just busy with other things."

The flight attendant sighed. "You might be right. I'm busy too, but it's still very frustrating trying to run a small business, that just started to take off, without an assistant. But honestly, I've always preferred to be a flight attendant. It's my calling."

Everyone agreed with that. Lola has been working with Tropica Airlines for YEARS. That job and that uniform were a part of her. Maybe, starting a fashion business wasn't the right choice.


Aiko walked in, ready to get the party started.

"Hey Jess. What's happening?" she asked, seeming ready to have some fun.

"Nothing much. Me and my bestie are just hanging out, talking about work and shit."

The Japanese camgirl turned her head. She was also happy to see Lola, as she was never in town.

"Hey there, Lola. Glad you could make it."

"Hi, Aiko. Happy 4th of July." the flight attendant greeted.

The Japanese woman was pumped for this party. Of course, the first thing she did was go to the fridge and grab a cold one.

"Never a bad time for a stiff drink." she said, pouring herself a glass.


Suddenly, two more guests arrived. Coming through the front door was her beautiful daughter, Tiffany Maye. Of course, she was still wearing that same old schoolgirl uniform, even though she had graduated from Glenberry University months before.

But, she was holding someone's hand as she was walking in. It was someone that was a good friend of everyone's. Someone that the blonde MILF wanted... NEEDED, to be her step-son.

"Hi, sweetheart. How have ya been?" she said, not giving a clear indication of exactly who she was talking to.

"Are you talking to me or Tiffany?" he said, giving off that usual, awkward response.

She grinned. "I'm talking to Tiffany. But, it's great to see you, Justin."

The guy wearing a purple button-up shirt blushed. It had definitely been a while since they've all really hung out like this.

"I'm doing great, Mom. My new job really is making me happy. Though, I will admit my boss is kinda... What's that word?"

"Sus?" JD said, knowing exactly what to say.

"Yeah, sus. But, other than that, I'm enjoying myself."

"I'm glad to hear that, Sweetie. I've been doing pretty good as well. I think you'll be very pleased..." she said, holding out her arm.

"Nicotine patches?" the blonde nurse asked, surprised at this change.

"Yep. I'm trying to quit smoking, so these are definitely gonna come in handy. Keeps the cravings away."

"Wow, I'm impressed. I never thought you'd even touch those."

The blonde MILF nodded. Tiffany went to the living room, in which she ran into an old friend... or, old teacher.

"Ms. Yumi?" she said, surprised to see her ex-teacher from Glenberry on the couch, already two-bottles deep in alcohol.

"Oh, h-hey Audrey." she said, clearly buzzed.

"It's Tiffany. Audrey's not here yet. How are you?" she asked.

"I'm doing alright. Just had a couple of drinks. It's fine, two bottles is enough." she said, letting out a huge belch.

"Ugh, yeah, you've definitely had enough. The party hasn't even started yet."

"Hey, why are you wearing that schoolgirl outfit? You don't go to college anymore, do you?" she asked, still sounding buzzed.

"I just like wearing this. It's cute. Though, I do have other clothes I wear sometimes. But, why are you still dressed like a teacher? You don't teach anymore, do you?"

Aiko sat up, trying to get her words out. "I-I'm still a teacher, I just do it online now. My name is Ms. Chainz now, Allison Chainz. I can teach more than just physics."

"Uh, okay. Cool." the blonde nurse said, getting up. She was definitely gonna get drunk tonight. Being near her drunk teacher was very weird.


A few hours passed and the rest of the guests managed to show up: Marlena, Momo (invited by Vinnie), Audrey, and Nikki (both invited by Tiffany).

Marlena, Jessie, Aiko, and Lola decided to get in the pool.

"Say, where's Beli at?" the Brazilian woman said, wondering where the 5th member of their group was.

"She told me that she's gonna be busy this week. She'll be back on Friday." the blonde MILF said.

"That's a first." Lola said, seeming surprised that the Indian woman was busier than her for once.

Of course, the youth in Jessie began to come out when she splashed Lola with water.

"Hey, watch it!" she said, splashing back at her.

Justin and Tiffany walked up to the pool.

"Hey, you wanna go swimming?" she asked her boyfriend.

"Ugh... No, thanks." he said, not wanting to get in a pool with a bunch of older women.

"What's wrong, JD? Afraid of getting wet?" the Brazilian woman said.

"No, if I wanted to swim with the fishes, I'd rather go to the lake." he said, not being clear about his statement.

"Are you calling us fishes?"

"I never said that."

Suddenly, Marlena splashed him from outside the pool, getting his clothes all wet.

"Ah!" he screamed, completely soaked.

"Oh god, Justin!" Tiffany said, comforting her boyfriend.

"What? It's just a little water. Don't be a pussy." the Brazilian woman said, being harsh towards the purple shirt guy.

"It's fine, it's fine. It's just COLD!" he said, shivering.

The blonde nurse grabbed him a towel. "Here, let's dry you off."

She took him inside. Jessie was kind of embarrassed.

"Marlena, was that really necessary?" she asked the Brazilian woman.

"It was just a prank. I don't know what the big deal is."

She ultimately dropped it, as this party was a break from the emotional shit. Though, it did seem like he wasn't THAT upset with her.


Hours had passed, the fireworks were lit, and the sun had gone down. The party had also gone down. Vinnie, Kyanna, Momo, and Phillip left early, as they all had a bedtime because of her kid.

Nikki was also getting tired, as well as Audrey. Now that she was sober, going to sleep early was more common for this once energetic party girl. No more all-nighters.

"Uh... when can we go home?" Audrey said, sounding tired.

"Whenever we do. I'll drive us home as soon as we're done talking." Tiffany said.

She sighed. Being sober was definitely harder than she thought. But ever since the mafia incident the month before, her staying sober was definitely crucial.

"Tiffany, your friends look pretty tired. Maybe you all should go home now." Jessie said, encouraging them to leave.

"I mean, you did say that you wanted to spend as much time with me this Summer as you could. I thought you'd want me to stay longer." the blonde nurse said.

"I know, but if I'm discomforting your friends, we can do it another time. I wouldn't want to keep them up all night. Even my step-son is looking a little tired." she said, acknowledging JD, who was sitting on her couch looking down.

"Tell you what: Tomorrow afternoon, I'll be off of work. How about I invite you over to my apartment for dinner?" she said, offering some quality time with her mother.

"Oh sweetheart, I'd love that. Of course I'll come over."

"Good. You're invited to our apartment. Be there tomorrow around 4-ish? I get off at 2, so I'll need some time to shower and unwind. I'm gonna cook later on. Are breakfast burritos fine?"

The blonde MILF smiled. "That sounds great. I'll be there." she said, sounding happy about this quality time together.

This definitely was a great opportunity to spend time with her daughter. She waited to do this for a long while. They made amends the previous November, but never really had a one-on-one bonding time.

She got up, ready to go. Audrey and Nikki were happy about this.

"Finally!" the party girl shouted in relief.

The blondie looked over at the couch. JD was still looking drowsy.

"You want me to drive you home, babe?" she said, acknowledging her tired boyfriend.

"You know I live down the street, right?" he said, sounding a bit cranky.

"I know but it's pretty late. I don't think you should be walking out there in the dark. You could get hit by a car or something."

He sighed. "Whatever. I just don't want you to waste gas is all."

"It's totally fine, Justin. Better safe than sorry, am I right?"

Jessie heard how he was talking, slightly worried. He's definitely not acting like himself. I hope he isn't thinking about it again...

They all headed out. "See you tomorrow, Mom." Tiffany said.

"I'll see you. Have a good night, sweetie."

They all left. The party was over, but her house was a complete mess. Empty bottles everywhere, some leftovers that were still on the counter, and trash in many places.

"Ugh... I'll clean it tomorrow." she said, heading straight to bed. She crashed on her bed, which had leopard print sheets and a purple silk blanket. This was definitely some party. It was more of a reunion, as life's shit got in the way of what really mattered. Still, she was definitely excited to spend some time with her daughter the next day.
