I shrugged. “I’m not the one running away with my dick tucked between my legs, now am I? I’m as real as they come, suga’. Wanna touch me? Make sure you’re not dreaming?”
She sighed, folding her arms over her chest, making her perky tits stand at attention. I almost didn’t notice.
Almost.
“No. You’re just the one who chased him away.”
“Semantics,” I contended.
Austin looked back and forth between us with a pleased look on his face that I wanted to knock the fuck off.
“I’d love to continue to stand here and watch this foreplay between y’all, but I have somewhere to be. So do me a favor, either seal the deal or move the fuck on.” He smiled. “Please.”
She blushed, the crimson red peeking from her nose to her cheeks. I shook my head, ignoring my cock-blocking friend.
“That shade of red looks really good on you,” I acknowledged instead in a teasing tone. “Don’t mind my friend Austin here. He’s not much of a gentleman.”
She scoffed. “And you are?”
“Only with you, darlin’.”
“You just have a witty come back for everything, don’t you?”
“What can I say, pretty girl? You bring out the best in me.”
She smiled, a real smile that time, tucking her hair behind her ear. I instantly reached over and pulled it back out to tug on the ends of it, letting my fingertips graze the soft skin on her cheek. She leaned into my touch for a split second before I stepped away.
“I’ll see you around,” I mocked in a condescending tone, using the same words Kyle did.
Walking away from her…
Even though I didn’t want to.
I spent the rest of the day at the beach with the boys and Alex just like any other ordinary day. I was trying like hell to keep my mind from wandering back to Aubrey and that fucking douche bag from earlier today in the hall to no avail.
It is what it is.
As usual over Christmas break, the boys and I spent all our time at the beach and Alex’s parents’ restaurant. Oak Island got cold during the winter, but that year it was surprisingly warmer than normal. The water could get chilly, but as long as you wore a wetsuit you’d be alright.
Surfing, soaking up the sun, and hanging out. Shooting the shit was exactly what I needed.
Santa wasn’t the only one saying, “Ho ho ho.”
I saw Aubrey around here and there, but she was always with that damn chick Dee… at least I think that’s what her name was. Apparently, I fucked her over, so I kept my distance. The last thing I needed was some chick getting her panties in a twist and going ape-shit on my ass around Aubrey.
I never saw her with Kyle again, but word around the beach was the new girl in town had gone on a few dates during break.
Who really dates in high school?
I couldn’t believe guys my age were actually dating. What a bunch of pussies. Aubrey was getting hounded with douche bags because the boys smelled fresh blood. Give me a break, they didn't wanna date her, they wanted to fuck her.
At least I kept it honest.
That’s when I realized I had a real problem with Aubrey being touched by anyone, including me. Call it what you want, jealousy or plain ol’ stupidity, I despised it.
What was I supposed to do about it?
I kept my distance, listening to what people said about her, watching her from afar, and fighting away any sentiment to actually do something about it.
