***

A line of beer bottles stretches from the diving board to the bar. Maybe fifty or sixty in all. That’s about six or seven beers per person.

I think.

My brain’s a little fuzzy.

The bar counter has more damage – the blender lies on its side with the sweet red contents poured all around it. Ash and spilled weed are everywhere.

It’s my fantasy of Cabo during spring break come to life.

“So, was it a good birthday?” Ellie and I are jammed between the arms of a lounge chair. Our bodies face each other, but our heads rest against the chair, and our eyes are trained upwards, gazing at the stars.

“Not bad.” I take another swig of my beer before reaching behind me to set it down on the patio. “Did you have fun?”

She inhales deeply, like she’s holding her breath. With a rush of air, she exhales. “I did.”

Sometime earlier tonight, she slipped a slouchy sweater over her bikini, but her long, toned legs are still bare and they tangle with mine. I allow myself to think about their smoothness moving against me, pulling me into her. A birthday exemption, if you will.

“Do you think we should move him?” Ellie points to Alex, who’s passed out in a nearby chair. “Or at least get him a blanket?”

I don’t want to move. I want to lay here with Elle, staring at the stars. “He’s fine.”

“Is everyone else asleep?” she asks.

“Probably. Or otherwise engaged.”

She shifts and rests her hand against my thigh. I keep my eyes up, pretending not to notice.

“How are you doing with the Calista and Alex thing?”

Ah that. Surprisingly good. Even with Cal’s little kitchen ambush. “Fine. It’s no big deal. I’m over it.”

And I am. Calista’s right. I didn’t choose her. I’m not sure why, but I didn’t.

Ellie reaches across me and steals my beer. When her lips touch the bottle, she leans her head back. I stare at the smoothness of her neck and imagine doing all kinds of things I shouldn’t.

The chilly night breeze brushes over us, but I’m not cold next to her. Ellie’s like a heating blanket.

“I’m drunk,” I say taking the bottle from her. “Very, very drunk.”

Her fingers graze my bare chest, and my breath catches. Did she mean to touch me like that?

I’m staring at her, and she’s staring at me, and then Ellie’s tongue darts along my lips. Her hands tug at my hair.

God, it feels right.

I wrap my arms around her, bringing her closer. Ellie bites my lip and sucks it into her mouth. I roll her over, bracing my hand near her head.

“You drive me crazy,” I whisper.

“So, you like me?” Her breathy words come out in uneven bunches.

“Uh huh.”

She kisses my lips again, swallowing my words, devouring me. I close my eyes and surrender completely, enjoying the euphoria surging through me.

“I’ve liked you since the first time I came over. I’ve never liked anyone the way I like you,” Ellie whispers.

Her teeth nip my neck and a surging fire spreads through my body.
