I eased my way up the gravel driveway. I could hear their voices arguing in the distance as I got closer. Aiden had not gone home as Coach had told him to, now Cal and Aiden were still arguing over me.
I only hesitated for a second before I was closer to the vehicles where they were standing. I realized that my brother was standing there listening to them disagree about me. Tyson didn’t like the things that Aiden was saying about me either. Neither did Cal who was barely controlling his anger at his once best friend.
Standing right behind them without being seen I shouted, “Stop.” They all turned and looked at me surprised by my outburst. “Just take me home Cal,” I pled with him.
I didn’t want things to be like this. He stepped away from Aiden. “Just turn your back on me for her.”
Cal looked over his shoulder. “You did this to us, Aiden. It didn’t have to be like this.” He stopped by Ty. “Are you coming with us?”
“Yeah man. I am “
We headed to Cal’s Impala. Tyson climbed into the backseat while I waited by the passenger door. I glanced up at Cal’s face. His eyebrow that had split open had stopped bleeding. I touched the tender spot and he flinched. I looked away. He tugged me back to him.
“Hey, this isn’t your fault. It’s Aiden’s.”
“I feel like it’s mine.”
He gazed at me for the longest time, then his lips brushed across mine. I felt the longing in his kiss. In the way he held me. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t feel like we were ready, at least I wasn’t.
“Get in the car. Make out later.” My brother shouted at us. I groaned. Cal chuckled.
I slid into my seat and glared at my brother. “Cockblocker,” I snapped.
“I would say so, Abby.” He was funny right now. His eyes wide and shocked that his baby sister would say such a thing to him.
“I was teasing Tyson.” Cal got in the car and looked between us. “Nothing,” I said. “I was teasing him about something.”
He shrugged and backed around somebody’s car so he could get out. I laid my hand on his thigh and Cal smiled at me. From the backseat, Tyson couldn’t tell what I was doing.
I didn’t really know what I was doing. I just liked the feel of Cal’s leg beneath my hand. He was strong. Comforting. I rubbed my hand across his thick muscles. He glanced at me a time or two but didn’t say anything to me about stopping.
When we pulled into the drive, Cal tugged me to his side so the seat would go forward. “Stay here. I can’t stay but a few minutes.”
“Ty, I’ll be right in.”
My brother climbed out and peeked in at me. “Don’t be long or Dad will be sending me out after you.”
“I won’t,” I promised.
He shut the door then jogged to the front door. I looked up and realized that Cal had parked behind my Dad’s SUV effectively blocking us from the big windows in the front of the house.
He grabbed me roughly in his arms surprising me. Then his lips captured mine in a pu
nishing kiss that took my breath away. When he pulled his mouth away from mine. “You’re bad.”
“What?” I didn’t understand.
“You were making me crazy, Abby.”
“I didn’t know,” I told him. “You should have told me.”
He nuzzled me. “With Ty in the backseat?” I never thought of that. “You’re so sweet Abby. I don’t deserve you.”
His lips traveled over my cheek. “Why do you say that, Cal?” I breathed in, struggling to suck air into my lungs. His lips were moving down my neck. “Cal,” I breathed. “Cal, stop.”
He raised his head. “Abby, you just do things to me.”
He kissed me again. I lost myself in his warm lips brushing over mine. His hand snaked under my sweatshirt and my eyes flew open when he covered my breast with his hand. I was torn between wanting him to keep touching me and pushing his hand away.
