Chapter 10
Aladden
When I unload the boat with the help of Rush and a few other guys, Aly stays in the truck. She waits for me as we go back and park it.
âI want to put this out there before I am forced to socialize with other women my age. I am not good at it; in fact, I will admit I am bad at most interactions. So if I hide behind you, get clingy, or am shy, you know why. And please donât make fun of me for it, or I will jump overboard so I donât have to face the humiliation.â Aly is holding onto my arm; she is so close and the heat of her body always amplifies mine.
âDonât worry, I got you, I promise.â I take her hand off me, and grab her hand to lead her to the boat.
There are seven of us on Roosevelt Reservoir. I hand Alyeska a life preserver, but she glares at me and puts it behind her.
I take the boat out into open water. Cruise around the landmasses and find a perfect secluded spot to stop.
âWow, Aly Iâve never seen you out at nighttime before. Did you clear it with your probation officer? Are you sure your ankle monitor is waterproof?â Rush saddles up across from her.
âTell me, Rush, how cold does the water have to be to make your dick shrink so small? Lad doesnât seem to have a problem when he is in the pool.â Aly boosted my confidence ten-fold.
I think I like her.
âEveryone knows I am a grower, not a shower.â Rush lets the insult slide off as he opens a beer.
Aly takes a beer but doesnât open it. Her eyes flick between my friend group. Her leg is bouncing, and I go over, pull her up and sit in her seat so she can sit on my lap.
âRelax, baby.â I rub her back and she leans into me, adjusting.
âYour dress is super cute, Aly,â some girl I donât know says, and Aly nuzzling her face into my neck. I wrap my arm around her waist. Which is strange, I expect Aly to take the compliment as a threat, but she doesnât.
âThank you.â Wow, I am impressed there wasnât a bitch added to the statement.
Rush mouths what the fuck and my eyes are just as wide, amazed. I donât know either, but I donât question it.
Alyeska fits perfectly against me. Her head on my shoulder, her body on my lap. I sink myself in the feeling. As she stares at the stars reflecting in the water. While my friends talk about life, I find myself holding her, hoping I donât have to let her go. Maybe one day she will trust me enough to take a chance.
I hear her sigh and it scratches my chest; it is so calming I lean my head back on the edge of the boat. My head turns to meet her eyes. Those eager fingers smooth her hair out of her face, and I take her in, as pretty as the spotlight of the moon.
