The stupid irony of it has my jaw clenching and I feel like I’m right back where I started.
A raging hard-on and the source of it was only a few feet away.
So close, yet so far away from me.
The sound of the deck door slamming breaks me out of my thoughts and has me covering myself with a towel. I’m quick to go see what’s happened.
Abby’s fuming up the stairs, and I call out, asking her what’s wrong.
“Can’t anyone around here actually be supportive of me?” she shrieks.
The finale to her little outburst, her bedroom door slamming shut. But my first instinct is to go make sure Jen’s okay.
“Everything alright out here?” I ask her, stepping back outside.
Already feeling better from the sight of her.
“Just Abby being Abby,” Jen sighs, looking a little embarrassed.
“She always gets antsy when she’s waiting for any news,” I reflect.
Knowing I’m the same.
Like not knowing if her insanely hot best friend could ever be with an older guy…although I get it that Abby’s situation is a little different.
“I’ll go talk to her,” I sigh, but Jen’s quick to let me know it’s her fault.
“I told her if she wanted this weekend to be about her, she should spend it by herself,” she confesses, chewing her lip.
I can’t help it and chuckle out loud.
“Good for you,” I exclaim but force a serious face once I can see Jen didn’t mean to upset Abby.
“She’ll calm down in a bit,” I add. Knowing Abby just as well as Jen does, maybe more so.
“Did you really mean it?” Jen suddenly asks as if it’s the only thing that’s really on her mind right now.
“About me staying, even if Abs has to go?”
“Of course I mean it,” I reply instantly, maybe sounding a little too serious about it all. But it seems to help Jen to hear me say it.
“Would you stay, though?” I add, needing to know now myself. “I mean…would you want to stay?” I ask her, softening my tone.
Feeling all the blood rush from my body to my groin when I watch her head nod in the affirmative.
“I’d love it if I could,” she tells me, her wide blue eyes looking up at me.
The sun shining in her wet hair.
Her curvy body teasing me with rippling shapes under the water.
“Not too weird?” I ask.
Sharing Jen’s smile when she answers me silently. Shifting her head slowly from side to side.
“Not weird at all,” she says softly, and we stare at each other in a silence that suddenly feels less awkward for once.
Sharing a little more of our true feelings for each other makes me feel like the luckiest man alive right now.
