“Get the fuck out of here so MY girl and I can have some privacy.” I turn my back on him and make my way over to Mel. She has tears running down her face, so I pull her to me, and she cries on my bare chest.
“Mel, you fuck many guys in this lake, because after your boy toy goes home I’m more than game.” I pull away from her, ready to fucking kill this prick. She grabs my arm, digging her nails in. I turn my head and look into her pleading eyes.
“Please don’t. It’s not worth it.” I continue to search her face, and when I see more tears escape, it’s my undoing. I look back at Jenson, and he’s smiling.
“She’s right. You may be some big city cop, but here you’re just some asshole’s son. My family runs this town, so I’d think twice before you do anything. I’ll let you off the hook on the indecent exposure, but keep that shit in the bedroom.” He starts walking away, and I say it before I can stop myself.
“I don’t give a fuck who you or your family are. If you ever talk to my girl like that again, you’ll be choking on my fist. And if you harass her at work about this or anything else, I assure you, you will see what a complete asshole I can be.” He just smiles and walks away. I turn back to Mel, and she is shaking her head and crying.
“You have no idea what you just did. He wants me gone, and now that’s going to happen. I love what I do, and he’s going to take that away now. Why couldn’t you just shut up?” I’m shocked and pissed.
“Mel, why the fuck do you let him get to you? He’s nobody. I don’t give a shit who his father is, he’s no one.” She doesn’t say anything. She takes off my shirt and throws it at me. I catch it and watch her struggle to get her wet clothes back on. As she is trying to get her shorts up, she looks up at me with fire in her eyes.
“What?”
I sigh and shake my head. I throw my shirt on and grab my shorts. “Don’t you realize that if he knew we had sex in the lake that means he was watching? He was watching us, Mel! He saw you naked, he heard you scream out your orgasm, and he watched our intimate moment.” She is crying hysterically now.
“You think I don’t know that? You think I don’t feel disgusting knowing he saw me and he has ruined one of the most amazing moments of my life? But the fact is, you’re going to leave, and I’m not. I can’t afford to make enemies. Don’t you get that?” She’s yelling at me but crying at the same time. I blow out a defeated breath and pull her to me. She wraps her arms tightly around me, and I kiss her temple.
“Alright, sweetheart, I’m sorry. I’ll take care of it.” I’ll talk to that son of a bitch and make nice, but only for her to make sure she’s happy.
We pack everything up and head home to shower off the sand and get out of these wet clothes. Neither of us says much on the ride, both lost in thought. I’m disgusted that this fucker ruined our memory at the lake, but I’m more upset that Mel reacted the way she did. I need to do some digging on this prick before I go meet up with him. I want to make sure I have the upper hand. We pull up to her and Connie’s, and I get out to open her door. I help her out, rub my thumbs on her cheeks and stare into her sad eyes. “Don’t be sad, sweetheart. I’m going to fix it. I promise you.” She gives me a forced smile, and I tilt my head. “That’s all you got?” She shakes her head and laughs.
“I’m sorry. I do appreciate you standing up for me. I’m just terrified of the repercussions.” I place my finger over her lips, and she smiles.
“Don’t apologize. I told you I would take care of it, and I will.” We hold onto one another, and I whisper in her ear, “I told you I worry about those I care about; well, I also take care of them.” She gives me a tight squeeze, and I smile. Yep, no doubt about it, I love this girl.
It’s been almost two months since Jeff and I started dating. I have to admit it is by far the best relationship I’ve ever had. I think both of us being lawyers have a lot to do with it. He’s sweet, sensitive, and loving. We have an amazing bond that I’ve never felt with anyone else. He makes me feel beautiful. And lucky for me, my friends like him. I was so nervous after everything with Dick that our friends wouldn’t accept someone else in my life, but they did, and I don’t know why I ever doubted them.
Jeff and I are at the bar waiting for the others. I look around and smile, so Jeff squeezes my hand. I look over at him, and he has his head tilted with that amazing smile of his. “You’re in deep thought.” I smile and kiss his cheek.
“I was just thinking, while looking around this bar, that this is where everything started. Kenz, Maddie, and I met the guys here. This is where we all became friends. Now, Campbell and Kenz are engaged, and it is such a beautiful thing. I’m so incredibly happy for them, and I love that it all started right here.” I feel myself choking up, and I try to blink back the tears. Jeff wipes away a tear that escaped and smiles at me.
“You all have an unbreakable bond. They love you just as much as you love them. They are all just amazing. You know how nervous I was meeting them, thinking they would want to kick my ass because I wasn’t Dick.” We both laugh because he really was nervous. I had to beg him to come have a drink and meet them. Once he did, he realized just how great they are, even Young. “That being said, I wanted to tell you something, and I think here at the bar is the perfect place.” I give him a questioning look, but he continues to give me that smile. He grabs both of my hands and kisses my palms. “Rebecca Sinclair, I am completely and hopelessly in love with you.” I can’t stop the tears this time. Here in this bar where all the great beginnings started, I finally get mine. I lean forward and press my lips, salty from my tears, to his. He wraps his arms around me, and we deepen the kiss. I pull away breathless and smile at him.
“I love you too, so much.” He wipes my tears and kisses my lips once more. He pulls me to him and holds me tight.
“I promise I will always make you happy,” he whispers in my ear, and I have absolutely no doubt that it is true.
“Just in time for the show, fuck yea.” We pull away from each other and see Maddie and Young standing there. “Don’t stop now, I was getting all hot and bothered.” Jeff and I just laugh, especially when Maddie hits him in the stomach. They sit down with their drinks, and I can’t get the smile off my face.
“You’re glowing.” I look over at Maddie and just nod my head. I want to shout it out, but for now, I’m going to just keep our moment, our moment.
“Just having a good night. Where are Campbell and Kenz?” I sip my Appletini and feel Jeff’s hand on my thigh. I look over at him, and he winks.
“Probably having sex. They said earlier they had to make some phone calls and went into Kenz’s room. I yelled to them we were leaving, and I’m pretty sure I heard Kenz say fuck me.” We all l
augh, but I’m sure it’s true. Even after all this time, those two still can’t keep their hands off each other. Not that Maddie and Young are any better. I walked in the door the other day and walked right back out when I saw Young in-between Maddie’s legs on the couch. I’m just not a public person like that. I would never do anything on the couch, but that’s not how they are. They will go to the bathroom here and have sex.
“Good thing I gave it to Maddie in the shower before we came.” Maddie laughs, and I shake my head. No filter on that boy.
“Do you think that they’ve finally picked a date for the wedding and that’s why they needed to make phone calls?” They want a short engagement; they said there was no reason to wait. I love that about them. I, of course, couldn’t do that, but again, that’s how they are. It will be a beautiful wedding, I’m sure of it.
“Maybe.” Maddie was so happy for Campbell and Kenz, but she did say that she’s not sure she will ever be able to get married. Young, of course, told her he would change her mind, and I have a feeling he might just do that. He may be an idiot, but he loves Maddie with his whole heart.
“So Jeff, you and Becca do the deed yet?” I look at him with wide eyes, and Jeff chuckles.
“Damn, Young. Shut up.” He laughs at me and turns back to Jeff.
