“Yeah or you can walk out by one of those trees on the bank.”

“Will you come with me?” She crossed her arms over her chest.

“Fuck no.” Luke flipped back onto his back putting his hat over his face.

“Drake?” This girl did not know when to quit.

He held up his beer. “I’ll fall down for sure.”

She huffed before storming off. Luke lifted his hat up and started to laugh again. Drake and I joined in.

Elie came over next kicking water up at us. “You guys are assholes.”

That caused even more laughter. I got up from my seat and continued to splash water on the boys. Gracey popped up on her side and joined in with me. Before I knew it Luke had me pinned in the water. Gracey shrieked and flapped beside me, Drake had her over his shoulder.

Luke’s lips crashed into mine making me breathless. As we lay there in the water our tube tried to float over us.

“Shit.” Luke picked me up throwing me over his shoulder. “Your best friends are staring.”

“Put me down.” I poked at his butt.

His hand come down on my ass. “Never.”

Gracey and Drew floated by where we stood off to the side still. “Smile!” She called out holding up her phone.

Poking my head under Luke’s arm I stuck out my tongue. Who the hell knows what Luke did. His hand was still anchored to my butt cheek.

“Nice ass!” Someone slurred.

Luke sat me down in the sand before heading the way. “What the fuck you say Collins?”

I flopped down on top of Gracey and let the boys be boys. “You do have a nice ass.”

“So do you girlfriend.” I was feeling the effects from my wine coolers at this point. Gracey popped open another one for both of us and we clinked them together. “Cheers!”

By the time we got back to the Gates everyone was toast. It took an act of Congress to get the tubes untied and out of the water. Once they hit the bank everyone started jumping off the bridge. It was a start to a whole new party, one I’m not sure the boys could handle.

Luke was a very lovely drunk. He kept grabbing me and kissing me which I was totally okay with. We stood in the water. Well I stood, he mostly swayed and kept his hand on my hip to help steady himself. Once we hit the halfway point of the float I had stopped drinking. I knew someone would have to drive Luke’s pickup because he damn sure wasn’t going to.

“Okay guys I think it’s time to go.” I clapped.

“Noooooo.” Drake drug on.

“Yesssssss.” Gracey grabbed his beer from him.

We started heading for the pickup hoping they would follow. Thank God they did. We all got in Drew’s pickup. Luke held onto me as we cruised the back roads to the other river bridge. The sun was starting to set, the temperature dropping.

Luke strapped down our tube and Drake’s when we got to his pickup. Gracey waved from the driver’s seat and took off with Nick and Drew.

“She’s got her two drunks and I’ve got mine.” I joked with them.

Laughing Drake pulled me in noogieing my head. “You wouldn’t have it any other way.”

“True.” I hoped in the driver’s seat.

Luke lifted up the center console scooting in beside me. “Everything’s fucking spinning.”

“Dude I swear if you fucking puke.” Drake leaned back.
