The man always looks like he has a stick up his heinie. Mr. Billings has never been mean to me, but I get the feeling he doesn’t like people much.
“Yeah, I guess you’re right if you go by the song,” I finally say.
“You don’t believe it to be true?”
“Not for every girl.” I shrug. “Not for me at least. I plan to make my own. I won’t need to worry about what my man has.”
“I think that’s one of the reasons I like you. While other girls go crazy over my cars and when I talk about the trips I take with my family, you’ve never given a darn.”
“I’ve known you all my life. Your daddy has always had flashy things. Besides, I’m no stranger to money and nice things.”
“This is true. Well, since you’re besties with the wealthiest ranchers in our part of Texas and your family is a pretty close second, how do I impress you?”
“Why would you need to impress me, Cody?”
“Aw, come on. You have to know I have a thing for you,” he says and reaches to wrap one of my braids around his finger.
“Ah hell,” I breathe as I see Trevor get to his feet. “Cody, I don’t think you’ve noticed, but I’m sort of seeing?—”
“If you want to keep that hand, Billings, you’ll get it off my girl before I break it off and shove it up your backside.”
“Trevor, he didn’t know. He meant nothing by it,” I rush to say as I get between the two.
The song changes to “Times Like These” by the Foo Fighters. I grab Trevor by the hand and pull him to me. He comes reluctantly as he continues to glare at Cody.
I wrap my arms around Trevor’s neck and look up at him. Tugging his head down, I get him to kiss me, but he doesn’t take his eyes off Cody until our lips meet. He grasps my face and deepens the kiss as I melt into him.
“Your girl? Are you claiming me as your girlfriend, Trevor?” I ask breathlessly as he breaks the kiss.
“I thought I made that clear to you. Now, everyone else has the memo as well.”
“I guess you did clear that up. Good to know.”
“Come here, let me make it crystal for you.”
He dips his head and takes my lips again. I run my fingers through his hair and get lost in his soft lips. My belly heats and those darn butterflies take flight, causing me to press in closer to him.
I begin to bounce to the music as we kiss. He breaks the seal of our lips and smiles down at me. God, he’s beautiful.
I love the way his eyes light up as we dance. Well, I’m dancing. Trevor just stands watching me as I dance my way around him.
With Cody forgotten, Trevor stays out on the dance floor with me for a few more songs. Until we’re both sweating from the warm evening air and my feet start to hurt. I lift up on my toes and lean into his ear.
“I’m thirsty. Want to get me a beer?”
“I’ll get you a Coke,” he says pointedly.
I frown. “I have my ID. I’m legal here.”
“Coke with ice coming up.” He winks at me.
“You suck,” I mumble.
He tugs me into his arms and pulls my back to his front. Then he buries his face in my neck. I moan as he sucks my skin into his mouth.
“I do, but I think we both like that.”
“Whatever,” I try to say without him hearing how affected I am.
