I QUICKLY HOP off his lap and stand beside the four-wheeler. I stretch my arms above my head, pretending to be stretching, when all I really need to do is pull air into my lungs. He leaves me breathless.

Bright and Nicole pull up beside us. Bright shuts off the bike and they both take off their helmets. “What happened to you two?” she asks.

“I just wanted to stretch my legs. I was so nervous; I was gripping Max too tight.” As soon as the words leave my mouth, I’m blushing. They sound crude and suggestive and fit into what was happening between us just minutes ago. Thankfully, my best friend laughs it off. She would never believe what just happened. I’m the girl who shy’s away from guys, especially guys like Maxton. I don’t get close enough for events like today’s to occur. I keep to myself and live in the past. I now understand what Dad was trying to tell me. This is what he wants for me, well, maybe not groping a ridiculously hot guy in the middle of the woods, but living. He was trying to tell me that he and Mom had this and he wants that for me, that she would want that for me.

I feel tears well up behind my eyes. I bend over, pretending to be messing with my shoelaces, until I can fight them off.

“We’re heading back to fire up the grill,” Bright chimes in.

“Sounds good, man. We’re right behind you,” Max agrees.

Within no time, their helmets are back on and they are speeding off toward the truck. Max climbs off his four-wheeler and stands next to me. His hands rest on my shoulders. Bending his knees, he makes himself eye level with me. “You okay?” His voice is concerned.

“Yeah, I’m good. We better head back before they come looking for us.”

Maxton exhales, stands to his full height, and wraps me in a hug. I feel a light kiss on the top of my head, then the loss of his warmth. He climbs back on the four-wheeler, holding out his hand to help me climb on. Placing our helmets back on our heads, we head back to the lot.

Nicole and I take over setting up the food. There are two grills going, both operated by guys we don’t know. Two other girls are here as well, but they’re sitting around with the guys, vying for their attention. Nicole and I have everything set up by the time the grilling is done. Several of the guys comment on how nice it was for us to take care of set up. A few of the guys throw us winks, but nothing inappropriate. Bright and Max are the last two in line. Bright carries Nicole’s plate to the trailer; they have a table set up and a small heater. Apparently, they brought it for us. It’s a little chilly, but not terrible. Max and I make our plates, and he takes mine as we join our friends.
