Lyn let out a high pitched giggle as she rolls off of Steve. "By the noises you made, I would say that I'm getting good at this." She smirks at her daze boyfriend.
"You're amazing." He looks up at the ceiling with a dopey smile on his face.
"Shit, Steve we're going to be late for the movies. Dustin is waiting for us." The clock on the wall alerts her. They jump out of bed and clumsily gather their clothes to put them on. She put on her purple lacey thong and bra. She picks up her blue plaid skirt and white camisole from Steve's bedroom floor and put them on. She put on her black peep-toe heels over her white lacey socks. She grabs Steve's gray bomber jacket from his closet and put it on.
"Are you wearing my jacket?" Steve asks. Lyn turns around to see that he was wearing jeans, a white shirt, and a white and red jacket. He even manages to make his hair perfect again.
"It completes my outfit." She gave him a spin.
"It does look good on you." He leers at her.
"Don't give me that look. We don't have time for that." She shook a finger at him.
"You're right, we got to go now." He looks up at the clock and grabs his keys off the hook on the wall by his door.
"I have to fix my makeup and hair." She points at the mirror that shows her smeared makeup and messed up hair.
"You'll have to fix it in the car." He throws her purse at her and drags her to the BMW. While he drove to the mall, she was able to make her hair look like a styled mess. She was able to fix most of the make-up. Her eye shadow was darker and heavier than she would have liked. Luckily, it was the in look right now so she wouldn't get any strange looks for it.
Steve parks the car and they rush to the ticket booth. "Can we get two tickets to The Goonies for the 7 o'clock showing?" Steve slides the money under the glass window. They were regulars here, so he already knows how much two tickets would be.
"You better hurry the commercials are starting to play." He slides two tickets to them. "Enjoy the movie, Rosalyn." He gave her a big smile.
"Thank you, Carson." Lyn gave him a nod before pulling Steve into the theatre.
"I hate that guy. He has some nerve, every time he got to try to put the moves on you." He grumbled under his breath.
"Oh please, you don't get to complain when every female worker in here flirts with you. Speaking of which look it is Jennifer." She rolls her eyes as she mockingly said the girl's name.
"Hey Jennifer," He walks up to the counter.
"Hey, Steve you're usual?" She bats her eyelashes at him.
"Yeah, you know it." He nods to her.
"Who's the lucky girl tonight?" She nods over at Lyn, who had to grit her teeth to stop from reaching across the counter to slap her.
"The same girl as every night, my girlfriend," He laughs awkwardly and wraps his arms around her.
"Do you want anything?" Jennifer gave her a fake smile.
"Can I get a hotdog and a coke? Steve helped me work up an appetite before we got here. " Lyn pats him on the chest. While Steve was blushing, he also had a smug smile on his face.
"Coming right up," Jennifer glares at her. She made Steve extra-large popcorn and coke before doing Lyn's order.
"I hope you know she's spitting on your hotdog," Steve whispers to her when Jennifer turns her back to them to make it.
"I'll give it to Dustin." She shrugs her shoulders, knowing that the boy wouldn't mind. Especially if he knows it was a hot girl's spit.
After they got her soda and hotdog, they race to the theatre three. They were able to find Dustin sitting with an empty seat on each side of him. Ever since Steve pulls her into a kiss on a boring movie, Dustin made it a point to sit in-between them. "You're late." Her brother scolds Lyn.
"And as an apology, I got you a hotdog." She hands it to him.
"I accept your apology." He took it from her before ripping the bucket of popcorn from Steve's hands, making some fall on her. She didn't mind considering most of it fell on Steve who was talking to Tracey, a pretty girl that was in Nancy's year.
"You're late," Dustin told him.
"The movies haven't even started yet." Steve points to the screen that was playing a coke commercial.
"Do you know how many people wanted your seat, specifically girls, girls that I now could be sitting with?" Dustin pointed at the seat that he saved for Steve.
"What were you going to do woo them with this denim vest? How many times do I have to tell you to stop wearing that?" Steve reached out to tug on the ugly vest that her brother seems fond of.
Dustin looks a little hurt by Steve's opinion. He picks up his milk duds and pouring it into the popcorn while giving his best friend a hard stare. "For the hundred times don't pour the whole thing in. Not everyone likes chocolate on their popcorn." Lyn punches her brother in the shoulder. Dustin let out a yep.
"Why did you do that?" Steve arches an eyebrow.
"It better this way, sweet and salty in a single bite." He pushes a piece of popcorn and chocolate into his mouth.
Steve copies him and hum at the deliciousness going on in his mouth. "Henderson, you're a genius." Lyn rolls her eyes at the two idiots she was with.
"Tell me something I don't know." Dustin smiles. They tap their drinks together before turning to the screen that said our feature presents. The screen began to flicker before it went blank. Steve and Dustin look at each other before booing at the screen.
"Oh come on, I didn't even get to see Josh Brolin!" Lyn yells at the screen.
"Who?" Steve and Dustin turn to her.
"That's the actor who plays the older brother." She told them.
"Did you pick this movie to check out a guy?" Steve gasps at her.
"Oh, please like we didn't watch Weird Science last week for Kelly LeBrock." She scoffs.
"I didn't pick that movie, your brother did." He points at Dustin.
"But, I did pick it for hot Kelly," Dustin nod to Steve in agreement with his sister.
"You damn horny Henderson's." Steve mutter under his breath as the screen came back to life.
"Thirty bottles of beer on the wall, thirty bottles of beer. Take one down and pass it around, twenty-nine bottles of beer on the wall." Steve and the kids were singing in the car. Being that they started at fifty, Lyn was at her wit's end.
"Okay, shut up we're here." She jumped out of the van bring her knitted beach bag with her. Despite being annoyed, she waited for them to get out of the van.
"If you join in on the fun, you wouldn't be so grumpy." Steve wrapped an arm around her shoulders. She only scoffs in response. The older teens lead the pack into Hawkins Community Pool.
"You said he wasn't working Max," Lucas whines when he saw his girlfriend's stepbrother on the lifeguard chair.
"Let's what he said this morning," Max defends herself.
"Just don't run or do any dives and he can't bother us." Lyn didn't pause in her stride over to the empty chaise lounge chairs that were the furthest away from Billy's chair. She drops her bag by one of the chairs before laying down in it. She looks over to see if the asshole notices they were there. Billy didn't seem to notice yet. The chairs surround him were filled with desperate women begging for his attention. Lyn only pauses for a second when she saw that Mrs. Wheeler was one of those women. She quickly shook her head, telling herself it wasn't any of her business.
The group came over and put their bags under the few chairs that they claimed. "Sunscreen before anyone goes in." Steve reminds them, making them groan.
Lyn giggles as she unzips her long red jacket to reveal her two-piece black floral bathing suit. They didn't sell plus size two-pieces, so she bought a one-piece and customized it. The bottom was high waist and the sides were cut out. For the top, she trades the thick straps for a more stylish criss-cross four straps. She sews in a wire bra for extra support.
Steve let out a low whistle. "Do you need help putting on sunscreen?"
She giggles at his stare that was half-lidded and full of lust. "I'll let you know when I'm ready for my back to be done." She winks at him. She put on a slow seductive show of rubbing sunscreen on her legs, stomach, arms, shoulders, and chest. "I'm rea..." She didn't get to finish saying before Steve jumps behind her.
He massages the sunscreen into her skin. "Such a naughty minx," He whispers into her ear before giving her a kiss on the shoulder.
A loud whistle cut through the air making everyone pause in their movements. "None of that hanky panky, this is a family place," Bill shouted at them from his chair.
"Still a fucking ass," Steve curses. Lyn nods her head in agreement as she looks around to see that the young teens she came with were in the pool already.
She pulls her Tweety bird towel out of her bag and laid it on the back of the chair for when she got out of the pool. Steve put sunscreen on himself before handing the tube back to his girlfriend. "We already have one strike, so try to control yourself," He smirks.
"I'm not the one who got us the first strike." She squeezes some sunscreen on her hand before rubbing it on his back.
"You knew what you were doing putting on that soft porn." He scoffs.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I was simply trying to protect myself from the sun's harmful rays." She said getting another scoff from her boyfriend.
"Hurry up with your hanky panky, Steve. We need you guys for our game of volleyball." He throws the small beach ball, they brought with them, at him.
"Alright, I'm coming in five minutes when my sunscreen has settled in." He throws the ball back at him. Dustin groans dramatically.
In the five minutes, Steve laid back on the lounge chair next to her to annoy Dustin some more. Lyn smiles, she enjoyed their brotherly moments.
"It's been five minutes." Dustin slams his hands down on the water making a big splash.
"Watch yourself Henderson!" Billy blows the whistle at him.
"Sorry." He yelled over his shoulder to the lifeguard.
"Come on before he gets us thrown out of here." Lyn got up to pull her boyfriend up. They slip in where the kids were. Since there wasn't a net, it was less of a game of volleyball and them just hitting the ball to one another. At some points, Mike and El wander off.
"I'm hungry," Dustin announce and look over at his sister.
"Me too," Will nods his head.
"I'll get everyone a hotdog meal." Lyn swims over to the ladder and climbs out of the pool. Steve follows her knowing that she would need help to carry everything. She walks over to their chairs to see Mike and El sharing a milkshake.
"Did you guys want a hotdog?" Steve asks them.
"No thank you, we ate already," Mike told them but didn't break his stare from El.
Lyn laughs, grabbing her wallet from her bag. Steve and she walked over to the concession stand. "I'll take six hotdog meals." She orders for herself, Steve, Dustin, Lucas, Will, and Max.
"That will be 20 dollars." The worker said. She gave the money before moving to the side to wait for her food.
"I could have paid." Steve pouts, not liking when she paid for any things.
"You paid for the movies yesterday, besides you're not getting an allowance from your dad anymore." She reminds him. After Steve got rejected from Tech, his dad cut him off and was forcing him to get a job or he would be kicked out of the house. He had an interview at an ice cream shop at the mall next week.
"Don't remind me." He groans. The worker came over and gave them their orders that were on two trays. They each took one and walk back over to the chairs that the kids were sitting on. With the exception of El and Mike who were back in the water. Lyn passes out a drink, chip, and hotdog to each of them.
"Thanks, mom and dad." Max jokes.
"When we say dad, we mean Rosalyn." Lucas laughs.
"Excuse me, I am not the mom." Steve screech out.
"Sunscreen before anyone goes in." Will mocked him.
"She knits, mom knits." He points a finger at his girlfriend.
"She also the one that was able to fix the flat we got that one time." Dustin points out.
"You didn't know how to change it either." Steve defends himself.
"Enough, we aren't about to promote gender roles. We live in the 80s, not the 50s." Lyn ends the argument.
"Agreed," Max nods her head, even though she started it.
"Dads end arguments," Dustin whispers to Steve.
"Does he have to go?" Steve whines.
"Steve, we talk about this. Camp Know Where will be good for Dustin. He will broaden his knowledge and social skills. He will learn more independents in a controlled environment." Lyn reaches out to rub his arm in comfort. She was worried about Dustin going too. This would be the longest they ever been apart. Reassuring Steve helps calm her nerves as well.
"Come on you guys, we got to go now or Dusty will miss his bus," Claudia yells to them.
"Remember Steve, we can't make Dustin feel bad about this." She gave his shoulder a squeeze before grabs his hand and leading him outside.
Lyn climb into the passenger seat of the van while her mom took the driver's seat. Steve sat in the back with Dustin. While they drove to the drop off spot in Chicago, Dustin told them all about the activities the camp's brochure promised. Steve got choked up a couple of times, but he manages to pull it together.
Claudia parked the van in the parking lot of a park where they were a bunch of kids waiting around a bus. "Who knew this many kids like science?" Steve arches an eyebrow.
"Science is cool, of course, a lot of people like it." Dustin rolls his eyes.
"Let's get you with the cool kids." Lyn got out of the passenger seat. Everyone else came out of the car after her. Steve grabs Dustin's suitcase for him. They got him signed in and put his suitcase on the back of the bus.
"Five minutes until we leave, it's time for your last goodbyes." A lady with a megaphone let them know.
"Last goodbyes? You're going to summer camp for a month, not off to war." Lyn rolls her eyes.
Claudia pulls Dustin into a tight hug. "I'm going to miss you so much my Dust Bunny." She sways him side to side as she gave him kisses all over his face.
"Mom," Dustin whines when he saw other kids watching them.
"Just great, he's going to be the nerd amongst the nerds now." Steve whines in the same manner.
When their mom let him go, Lyn pulls her brother into a hug. "Have fun, make friends, and don't get into any trouble." She pokes his forehead to emphasize her last point.
"How am I supposed to have fun when I can't get into trouble?" Dustin teases.
"Don't make me have to drive up here before I got to." She gave him a playful punch to the shoulder.
"You need to worry about not being bored to death. Like, seriously what are you going to do without me?" He gave her a smug smile that was eerily similar to her boyfriend's. She didn't know why she was surprised Dustin went out of his way to emulate Steve.
"She'll be doing me." Steve stuck his tongue out before pulling his friend into a bro hug.
"Come on, man." Dustin pretends to gag.
"Hope this summer filled with ladies for you, bud. Looking around I would say you're going to be the stud of the camp." He looks over at a boy using an inhaler.
"You think so," Dustin puffs his chest out.
"You're definitely the most handsome." Claudia reaches over to pinch her son's cheek.
"It's time to get on the bus, kids." Megaphone lady told them.
"I'll miss you guys." Dustin gave them a bright smile before running over to get in line.
The three of them stood there until the bus was out of their sight. "Oh my baby," Claudia cried into her hands.
"It's only a month mom." Lyn guides her mom to the van.
"It's not that, it's that my baby is growing up." She cried into her daughter's shoulder.
"I'll drive us back, babe." Steve follows after them.
Lyn throws him the keys and put her mom into the backseat. She got back into the passenger seat. Steve pulls out of the park and drove them in the direction of Hawkins. "I should have brought Tews." She looks back at her mom staring out of the window with tears running down her face.
"We know for when we drop him off to college." Steve shrugs. Lyn smiles, it always warms her heart when Steve spoke of their future together so casually.
