“I’m not concerned with what they’re wearing. We’re talking about you, not them.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
I didn’t hesitate to tell her the truth. “Underneath those heels you’re wearing, I know a cowgirl’s just screaming to wear her boots.”
“After tonight,” she sassed, “that girl no longer exists.”
“Well, you know what they say, Zel. You can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl.”
She narrowed her defiant stare at me. “I guess I’ll just have to prove you wrong.”
Unable to hold back, I countered, “Hazel, why are you baiting me?”
In a confident stride, she made her way over to me until she was standing close to my face.
“So what if I am?”
Arching an eyebrow, I cocked my head to the side.
“I’m leaving tomorrow.”
“I’m fully aware.”
“Are you going to miss me, Ledger?”
“Don’t ask questions you already know the answer to.”
“Is that yes?”
“It’s not a no.”
She smirked in a heady sort of way. “I’m going to miss you, a lot.”
Before I could respond, the doorbell rang.
“You better go greet your guests, cowboy.”
She spun, leaving me alone to dwell on our encounter.
For the rest of the night, I tried like hell to shake off what felt like she was coming onto me. Further into the night, there were still hundreds of people dancing, drinking, and socializing. I tried to have fun, but my eyes wandered toward Hazel almost like I could feel her from across the room.
Each time she found my gaze, I’d quickly look away. The last thing I wanted was for her brother to see how she affected me. For the first time, I thought about what she’d taste like in my mouth.
Needing a minute to compose myself, I went upstairs to my bedroom. The moon was glowing outside my balcony doors, luring me out there. I don’t know how long I stood there, lost in my own thoughts. I couldn’t believe how fast this year had flown by.
At the end of the month, I’d be moving into my own place with my best friend, and for the life of me, I couldn’t stop thinking about his sister. If Chance knew, he’d fucking kill me. A part of me wanted to strangle myself for my reckless thoughts that came out of nowhere, hitting me like a bull in the night.
After I composed my careless mind, I opened the slider and walked back into my bedroom. Only to stop dead in my tracks when I saw the woman I least expected, sitting on her knees in the middle of my bed, wearing nothing but a white bra and panties.
“The fuck?” I rasped with wide eyes.
What happened next would forever change the future of our friendship. One thing was for sure, Hazel may have been my best friend’s twin sister, but at that moment…
She was a goddamn vixen, trying to fucking seduce me.
Hazel
He was the first to break the deafening silence between us.
