Alex and I walked over to Chloe and Millie’s cabin. I was no longer dreading tonight, in fact, I couldn’t wait. Tonight I wanted to show her that I liked her as more than just a friend. I’d dated plenty, hooked up some, but with Chloe, I was actually nervous. Like, sweaty palm nervous, where I had to wipe them on my shorts for the third time in the five minute walk. It was particularly annoying because I was carrying my guitar and had to keep switching hands, the case handle was getting so greasy.

She and Millie stepped out of the cabin and I caught my breath. Her hair was down, her beach curls blowing in the wind and she had on this old pair of jeans, a little ripped and faded but hugging her in all the right places. Honestly, I wanted to kiss her right then and there.

But we were going as friends. I’d wait until later to tell her how I felt and see how she felt about me.

“Hey pretty ladies,” Alex grinned, looping his arm around Millie. Man, that guy was a good friend. He’d totally shifted his expectations for tonight with barely a bother.

“Hey yourself,” Millie answered, tossing his hand off her shoulder while she giggled.

I slipped my arm around Chloe’s waist and rested my hand on the small of her back. I loved the feel of her against my side. “Hi,” I wasn’t trying for a bedroom voice, but it came out low and husky.

“Hi,” she replied, her voice catching a little.

Alex and Millie began walking toward the beach and we followed. I had so much I wanted to say but none of the words actually came out and so we walked silently, my hand still at her back.

“Is tonight weird?” she finally asked.

“Maybe a little?” I grinned at her. “Why do you think it’s weird?”

I heard her draw in a long breath. “I don’t know. It was supposed to be a date with Alex and…” she trailed off, looking up at me but I looked away. Alex. It was always about Alex.

“He seems cool with just being friends.” I didn’t know what else to say. And maybe I was being impatient, but I wanted to start talking about us and not about him.

She didn’t say anymore and we reached the end of the trail. The beach opened up before us and the fire blazed in the moonlight. Several logs had been dragged over to burn and others were spread in a circle to sit on.

Chloe sat in on a vacant log and I sat next to her. I was probably a masochist but I didn’t want to just give up. That made it sound like I had a choice. But it was probably more accurate to say, I couldn’t make myself sit anywhere but next to her. Alex sat on her other side and Millie next to him.

Well, wasn’t this just cozy? All the other counselors were talking and laughing as several more large logs went on the fire.
