<strong>Bobby</strong><br/><br/>Bobby flashed Grace a huge smile as she jumped and wheeled around. He bent down a little allowing her to wrap herself around his neck in a big hug... or so he thought. His eyes went wide as she planted a big kiss full on his lips, no tongue, and he obliged her by returning her kiss in kind with his big brown eyes shifting a little apprehensively to all the others gathered about watching them. Grace dropped from his neck and released his lips, glancing past him with inquisitive eyes.<br/><br/><strong>"I'm good, good. Glad to finally be here. That's a nice drive, but I'm glad to be out of the car finally."</strong>He nodded to Grace's questions, knowing they would be asked. He started to answer but was interrupted by Grace telling him to "hold that thought." He chuckled as he watched her in her scoot over to the cooler in her bathing suit, admiring her body as discreetly as he could. Grace always reminded him so much of Dani. Perhaps that was why they seem to hit it off right from the very beginning, becoming best of friends.<br/><br/>Grace grabbed him a beer, even popped it open for him, then ran back over, handing him the cold beer. He took the beer thankfully and took a long drink before answering her questions.<strong>"You know Dani. She loves to make an entrance, right? She'll be fashionably late."</strong>Bobby chuckled at his jest, but it was mostly true. Dani did love to make an entrance and be the center of attention. Oh, how she loved attention.<strong>"No, she had to make an appearance at her parent's house for her father. Some social function he was hosting. You know how it is, right Grace... with those politician types."</strong><br/><br/>He winked at Grace playfully and leaned down again, giving her a quick hug.<strong>"You look absolute breathtaking, Grace. Are you getting younger?"</strong>He waved at Jim who was working on the ribs at the grill.<strong>"Jim. Good to see you again. I see Grace has you hard at work. She's training you proper."</strong>He raised his beer and chuckled, then took a sip.<br/><br/>Glancing around to the others he reached his hand out to Rex and then Jerry, giving each a firm grip and a shake.<strong>"Rex. Jerry. Good to see you both again."</strong>Leaning down, he gave Terry a warm hug and pat on the back.<strong>"Terry. It's good to see your pretty face again. How's Jerry treatin' you, hmm? Is he taking good care of you, cause if he's not you let ole' Bobby know and I'll come put a boot up his ass... but then, he might enjoy that too much, eh?"</strong>Bobby winked at Terry and glanced at Jerry, waiting for the backlash he knew would be forthcoming.<br/><br/>Scooting quickly over away from Jerry, Bobby turned and met the newest member of their elite little circle of friends. His smile faded slowly and he looked surprised.<strong>"And you must be the lovely Tessa."</strong>He reached out and took her hand gently and lifted it, lower his lips to kiss the back of her knuckles as the chivalrous knights of old were known to do.<strong>"You're much more beautiful than everyone said. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Bobby. Bobby McKenzie."</strong><br/><br/>He turned back to Grace with a smile<strong>"We should do this more often. Once a year is too long to wait to get together. Oh, Grace. I didn't know where you wanted me so I left my bag at the stairs. Just let me know and I'll move it to my room whenever you'd like, okay hun?"</strong>
