I couldn’t do it.
Just. Like. That.
Dylan-fucking-McGraw couldn’t seal the deal.
No room for maybe’s or possibly yes, it was a dead no, and I had never been happier. I looked forward to our next conversation, the next time I would get to see her smile, or make her laugh, but I still loved making her mad, pissing her off and seeing that feisty temper come out as much as possible, so I hadn’t become a complete fucking pussy.
I kept going back to her, wanting more.
Wanting everything.
Nothing or no one stood in my way.
I’d like to see them fucking try.
I started to bring her around the boys and Alex a few weeks ago. Alex loved her right away. They got along like two peas in a pod. The boys welcomed her into our circle with open arms, but that didn’t stop them from giving me shit.
We had just finished surfing. It was pouring every afternoon for the last few days and a mean swell would kick up before the storm.
“My aunt’s going to be calling soon, and I forgot my cell phone back at my house. I gotta get going,” Aubrey said, walking up to me with Alex close by her side.
I stuck my board in the sand and shook out my hair.
“McGraw!” Aubrey squealed, blocking the water with Half-Pint giggling.
I grinned, tugging on the ends of her hair. “Don’t pretend like you don’t like me gettin’ you wet.”
She chuckled, “You’re such a dick.”
“I’ll take you home.” I looked at Alex. “Make sure Lucas doesn’t go back out there once the storm hits. I see it in his eyes, he’s thinkin’ about it.”
She rolled her eyes. “Of course he is.”
“Come on.” I grabbed her hand and led her up to the restaurant, placing my board in Half-Pint’s parents’ backroom.
We’d been leaving our boards in there since we were kids, it was easier than lugging them around everywhere. I think our families appreciated that we still surfed near the restaurant just in case. Surfing was like freefalling with no parachute, you respected Mother Nature because she could kill you if you didn’t.
I opened the door for Aubrey to get in, shutting it, and walking to the driver’s side. I grabbed my cargo shorts from the backseat and opened my door, depriving the bystanders from my naked glory while changing. I didn’t give two shits if Aubrey could see. To be honest, I wanted her to. I watched Aubrey from the corner of my eyes, while she watched me from the corner of hers.
“You can look, sweetheart, he’s not shy.”
She turned beet red, making me laugh.
It didn’t take us long to get to her house, she lived a few blocks from the beach.
“Can I use your bathroom?”
“Sure.”
I followed her inside, taking in the way her hips swayed as she walked.
Damn, I loved her ass.
“Down the hall, first door on the left.” She pointed. “Can I get you anything? Sweet tea?”
“Nah, I’m good, thanks, darlin’. I’ll be right back.”
I made my way down the hall to the bathroom. I took care of business and walked back out to the living room where she was sitting on the couch with her legs tucked underneath her.
