We make ourselves a snack and hang out in the backyard by the pool until Aaron walks through the gate. “Hello, ladies.”
“What’s up, Aaron?” Heather waves at him as she gets up from the lounge chair she was lying on and jumps in the pool.
Aaron walks straight up to me, wraps me in his arms, and smashes his lips to mine. I laugh because this is exactly why Heather got up, but I don’t care. Anytime I get to kiss his lips is worth whoever is around to see.
Except for my dad, that is.
It’s such a weird thing to date your best friend after so many years. Every part of our relationship has stayed the same, except for this. Getting to make out with him has been an added bonus to our already-great friendship.
“Can you please go inside if you’re going to suck face like that?” Heather jokes as she gets out of the pool and walks toward us, dripping wet.
She takes her spot back on the towel lying over the lounge chair and wrings out her hair.
“Sorry, Heather.” He lies back on the lounge chair and pulls me onto his lap so I’m sitting between his legs. “Do you guys want to go eat something before we go out?”
“Sure.” I shrug. “You down, Heather?”
“Yeah, I’m down.” She checks her watch that’s lying next to the glasses of water we brought out with us. “We should get ready then. I’ll head in first and give you two a few more minutes by yourselves.”
Aaron jumps at the opportunity of being alone, but I have to stop him.
“My dad should be home any minute. We don’t want to get caught again, remember?”
A few months ago, we thought we were alone, only to realize my dad was in the backyard. He caught us making out on the couch, and I’d never been so embarrassed in my life. He was quick to kick Aaron out and made it very clear Aaron was not allowed in the house without his exact permission.
Aaron runs his palm over my ass. “But we’re not in the house …”
“Exactly. You don’t want him to kick you off the property for good.”
He sighs. “Fine. Let’s go.”
He picks me up with ease and brings me to my feet. “Go get ready. I’ll go home, so just come over when you’re done, and we’ll head out.”
I lift up on my tiptoes and give him a soft kiss. “Will do.”
As I leave, he grabs my ass again, then laughs when I smack him away.

When we pull up to the lake, a group of guys are there, ready to greet us with a plethora of alcohol offerings. Normally, I don’t drink that much, but tonight, I really feel like letting loose, and knowing that I have Aaron here to make sure nothing happens makes me want to even more.
“What can we get you?” one of them asks.
I glance at Heather in question, then turn back to them. “Surprise us,” I respond with a big grin, and she agrees.
Aaron wraps his arm around me. “I have a feeling it’s going to be a good night.” He laughs.
They hand Heather and me each a cup, and Aaron declines anything for himself as we walk away.
“Thanks for driving tonight.” I lean up to give him a quick kiss.
“I got you. Enjoy your night.”
We walk to a group of kids that have already gathered closer to the lake and say hello to everyone we know.
The longer the night goes on, the more drunk I get, which is something I’ve truly never experienced. Tonight, I had the idea of letting my hair down, and I haven’t held back at all.
I stand up from the blanket we’re all sitting on and lose my balance just a little bit, but thankfully, Aaron is by my side in a heartbeat. I fall into his arms in a fit of giggles as he steadies my legs.
