“What the hell is happening here?” Scarlet had managed to ask just after she recovered from her previous shock.

Lauren was the first one to even acknowledge the presence of the dark-haired girl, as she came over to Scarlet from the sofa where she was sitting, “Apparently, Juliet had male dancers invited.” Scarlet shook her head with a frown.

“More like strippers.” It was safe to say that Scarlet was really disturbed by the image that was now burned into her brain for her entire life time.

“Oh, let her just have fun.” Lauren smiled as she watched how happy Vanessa looked when she had an excited Dustin giving her a lap dance while Ben and Carl were occupied with just dancing sexually around the recliner that was occupied by the Vanessa.

The coffee table was moved away from the center of the living room and was now placed against the farthest wall.

Vanessa was laughing maniacally while Juliet stood on the sidelines, watching her cousin’s enjoyment. “Isn’t this just fun!?” She exclaimed as she looked at Vanessa with a huge grin on her face.

“Yes! This is so much fun! I love you, Juliet!” Vanessa exclaimed back with laughter still pouring out of her. Juliet smirked at Scarlet, who was watching from the doorway of the living room with her jaw dropped.

She raised her index finger before retrieving something from inside her jeans’ pocket. “Here, use this.” She handed a stack of dollar bills to her cousin. Vanessa looked at the stack before giving the other woman a meaningful look.

Juliet just nodded with a smirk before walking over to Scarlet, who was mentally damaged after all of this.

Vanessa had started being handsy as she tucked some dollar bills in Dustin’s shorts while screaming occasionally with enjoyment.

“She looks so happy.” Juliet stated as she smirked at Scarlet, who was ready to just burst out all of the things that were disturbing her in that moment.

Shaking her head, Scarlet tried to look at the bright side. At least, her grandmother wasn’t a part of this. For once in her life, Scarlet was relieved that her grandmother loved to sleep or else, her mind would’ve something even more disturbing engraved in it. Certainly, seeing her grandmother be given a lap dance by half-naked young men was something on a completely different level than watching her sister be given a lap dance.

“Juliet, I need a really good reason not to punish you, young lady.” Judith appeared in front of the three women as she glared at her daughter, and if looks could kill, Juliet would’ve been a dead woman by now. “Why mom? Look how happy Vanessa is.” The slight whine in Juliet’s voice wasn’t hard to miss as Lauren raised an eyebrow at this.

Scarlet rolled her eyes as Judith turned to look at Vanessa, who was no doubt, enjoying the show the three men were putting. “Look how she’s enjoying herself.” Juliet added as she pointed her whole hand towards Vanessa’s direction, who was now throwing money over the three men. “She’s so happy. Do you want to punish me for making someone this happy?”

Lauren’s jaw dropped when Judith’s face held regret and she looked at her own daughter with pride. “No. Just. Don’t let your grandmother see… this.” She spoke as she gestured to the three half-naked men.

“Uh-huh, I won’t.” Juliet’s attitude took a 360 degree turn and she smiled brightly at her mother.

Judith nodded awkwardly before going back to, where she came from, maybe the kitchen.

“And that’s how you get what you want.” Juliet smirked. Lauren was only a second away from falling to her knees and asking the woman to teach her, her ways, but was snapped out of her awed state when Scarlet grabbed Lauren’s arm.

“We are not going to watch men dance around. We – if you haven’t noticed – are lesbians.” Scarlet whispered harshly as to not let anyone else hear her besides Lauren and Juliet.

Juliet rolled her eyes before crossing her arms across her chest. Lauren, who had an awkward smile on her face, placed her other hand on top of Scarlet’s bicep and leaned in to whisper in her ear. “Maybe we should stay.” Scarlet jerked back a little to look at Lauren dumbfoundedly. “But they’re half-naked.” The emphasis on ‘half-naked’ was intended as Scarlet gave Lauren a confused look.

“Do you… enjoy watching this?” Scarlet’s eyes widened as she looked at Lauren, who smiled nervously. “Well, I never said that I was a complete lesbian.” Lauren’s voice was really low, but not low enough for Scarlet to not hear her.

Juliet’s eyebrow raised as she looked back and forth between the two women, as if she expected a fight – a juicy informative fight.

“So, you’re bisexual?” It was said as a question even when it was pretty certain what Lauren had implied. “Yes.” Lauren’s voice was small as if she was embarrassed to even admit that she liked men as well.

Scarlet stood unmoved for a moment as she kept staring at Lauren, before a frown graced her face and she – without a word being said – walked over to the sofa and sat down with a plop.

Juliet looked confused at her, “Is that a sign that you can stay too, or what?” Lauren didn’t know that as well as she went over to sit next to the dark-haired woman.

“Lesbians are so confusing.” Juliet mumbled to herself as she rolled her eyes at her cousin.

Ben smirked when he saw the blonde woman sitting on the sofa and without much delay stood in front of her, ready to give her an extremely sexual lap dance.

But his intentions were halted as a voice was heard from the living room, and for a moment everything stopped. Vanessa looked past Dustin, to see the one and only grey-haired granny Payne, who didn’t look the slightest bit of amused.

“What is happening here?” Her words came out strict and hard as she gave Vanessa a mean glare while Pudding was yipping away at the grey-haired woman’s feet.

“It was Juliet’s idea!” Vanessa quickly spoke as she pointed at Juliet, who immediately shook her head, denying Vanessa’s claims. “I don’t even know why Vanessa is lying.” Vanessa glared at her younger cousin before pushing the man from in front of her.

Ben and Carl had immediately gone to stand in the corner of the living room like guilty puppies, when they had heard Granny Payne’s voice. Dustin glared at Vanessa before he joined his two companions, crossing his arms across his chest.

Scarlet was just moments away from running into the kitchen to prepare some popcorn for the current situation.

“I can’t believe that you were having a party without me.” Granny Payne complained as she walked into the living room completely, with Pudding following her closely.

As if, he had been given a bone, he ran over to Scarlet while yipping here and there. It was as if she was a dog whisperer as well.

Rolling her eyes, Scarlet shooed the dog away who had decided to just lay near her feet with his tongue falling out of his mouth. Lauren cooed silently at the sight.

Lauren didn’t know if Scarlet was angry at her or not. Judging by the sour expression on Scarlet’s face just because of Pudding, made her think otherwise. Maybe, Scarlet was mad at her for not telling her that she was bisexual.

It wasn’t that Lauren wanted other men, it was just that she also liked them as much as she liked women. She did have two boyfriends, before she acknowledged her attraction towards women as well.

“Oh.” Juliet smirked with an evil glint in her eyes as she looked at Granny Payne. “We’re sorry for not inviting you, but you were sleeping, so we thought to not disturb you.” Granny Payne’s eyes turned to the red head that was giving her grandmother an apologetic look.

“Why don’t we compensate for that?” Scarlet’s ears twitched as she squinted her eyes at her cousin that did not seem to have good intentions at all.

Granny Payne’s eyebrow rose as she gave her granddaughter a confused look. “You just have to sit here.” Juliet was sure to throw Vanessa a look to leave the recliner immediately.

Smirking at her cousin, Vanessa quickly obliged and stood up from the recliner while Lauren looked back and forth between Juliet and Vanessa with confusion. Even though Lauren had no idea of Juliet’s intentions, Scarlet was well aware as she shook her head to get rid of the thought of what Juliet might be doing.

Guiding Granny Payne towards the recliner, Juliet called Dustin over, with a wave of her hand.

Confused, Dustin came to the red head, who was now stood in front of her sitting grandmother. “Enjoy the show.” Juliet smiled widely as Dustin understood and immediately went to work.

Scarlet face-palmed as Dustin began to give Granny Payne a lap dance, who was now looking frightened but still excited.

“Mom!” Scarlet yelled as she stood up, making the blonde sitting beside her flinch from the loudness of her voice. “Aunt Judith!”

A second later, the three women were walking into the living room with cups of coffee – which they had prepared because of their boredom. Upon stepping foot into the confines of the living room, Laura was the one that had dropped her cup to the carpeted floor on seeing Dustin dancing up on Granny Payne.

“Mother!” Judith and Wanda just had their jaws wide open as they watched the way Dustin’s hips moved sexually over the old woman’s lap.

It looked scandalous and dirty, and Granny Payne agreed 100%.

“I feel so scandalous and dirty!” Granny Payne yelled as she laughed crazily. Ben and Carl smirked at the way the old woman enjoyed herself before they locked their eye-sights on their targets.

Vanessa grinned at the way her grandmother enjoyed the show as she sat on the sofa beside Lauren, who was just utterly confused and embarrassed of what was happening now.

Laura and Wanda went to Granny Payne, to make Dustin stop his naughty dance, while Judith went over to her daughter to give her a lengthy lecture. Judith dragged Juliet to the kitchen where she was going to be sure to give her daughter an earful of nagging.

Scarlet glared at the retreating back of the red head as she crossed her arms across her chest. It was difficult enough for her to erase the image of her sister getting a lap dance from her memory and now she had just witnessed something even more disturbing and scarring.

And on top of that, she was completely displeased by the half-naked men. Speaking of half-naked men, she noticed that Ben and Carl were now occupied with Vanessa and Lauren.

Vanessa was looking quite entertained while Lauren didn’t know what to do.

There were two reasons for that. First: she never had someone give her a lap dance and, second: Scarlet was in the room, which was a good enough reason.

“Woah, buddy. It’s not her bachelorette party.” Scarlet’s jealousy flared and she pulled Ben away from the blonde woman that looked back and forth from Scarlet and Ben.

“We were solely hired to give lap dances. It doesn’t matter if she’s the one getting married or not.” Ben spoke with a smirk as he eyed Scarlet up and down slyly.

“Yeah, chill out, Scarlet.” Vanessa spoke with a laugh as she spared Scarlet a glance. “Or maybe, you want him to give you a dance instead.” The wink sent her way by Ben was even more disgusting than the idea of having been given a lap dance by a man.

“No thank you.” Scarlet spoke quickly as she stepped a few inches away from Ben, who was giving her suggestive looks.

Lauren frowned as her imagination worked wonders and she imagined Ben straddling Scarlet, while grinding his crotch against her while she enjoyed.

Shaking her head to clear away the image that was now fully formed in her head, she frowned deeply. She couldn’t let that happen even if it was quite unlikely for Scarlet to enjoy anything sexual from men.

Her hand moved on its own as she pulled on Ben’s wrist and made him turn towards her instead of the dark-haired woman.

Scarlet looked in disbelief at Lauren, as she watched the way Ben gave Lauren a suggestive smile and Lauren smiled bac at him lightly. Vanessa noticed the way Scarlet’s eyes flashed anger and then hurt as she turned around to leave the living room without giving a second glance back. Raising an eyebrow at it, Vanessa couldn’t help but to feel suspicious.

Lauren’s eyes were trained on Scarlet as she watched her leave the leaving room and the only thing that was now left in her head was a single thought: ‘What have I done?’
