Chapter Ten

Loren

Friday night at the surf shop and Riley has been texting me non-stop. I’ve been grateful to use work as an excuse to not see her this week or respond immediately to her texts, but at seven o’clock on the freeway home from work my phone rings and it’s her.

“Hello?”

“Thank God you picked up,” she says in her most dramatic damsel in distress voice. “I need your help. The party rental place dropped off all the tables and chairs for the formal tomorrow but they didn’t set any of it up. They said we had to pay extra for that, which I’m happy to do, but because it was their last stop at six o’clock they said they didn’t have time. Seriously, how hard is it to do their job?”

I don’t waste my breath by telling her it sounds like they did do the job they were paid to do. “You need help setting up tables and chairs?”

“Yes, they’re so heavy.”

I also don’t waste my breath telling her that I’m sure her and her sorority sisters are capable of setting them up themselves. It’s likely the woman has never done physical labor or broken a sweat. “I’ll be there in thirty.”

“You’re my hero. I’ll totally make it up to you,” she says breathlessly.

“Not a problem.” I’ll have to be creative in avoiding Riley’s advances, but the pay off is I’ll get to see Bex.

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about her in that sexy top, her shoulders bare and begging for my lips. I knew I couldn’t kiss her, but I had to touch her. The way she relaxed against me when I gripped her thigh under the table made me feel like I could conquer the world. And then Riley had to show up and ruin everything. Playing this bullshit game with Riley in order to get my shot at Bex has put me in a foul fucking mood.

“See you soon, babe.” Riley’s voice snaps me back to reality and I practically growl into the phone.

“Later.” I hit End and then immediately pull up Kaipo’s number.

“Cousin,” he answers.

“You home?”

“Yup. What’s up?”

“I need you to go to the Eta Pi house with me. Guess they need help setting up for the thing tomorrow.” When he doesn’t immediately respond, I fess up. “I need a buffer. If I go alone Riley will corner me or try to get me in her room, I need a reason to leave.”

“Or we could both stay. I wouldn’t mind getting friendly with my date.”

“It’s like you want to die.”

He chuckles. “You’re too easy to fuck with.”

“You got my Achilles heel, man.” I rub my lips together and contemplate how much I want to give away. I decide to give it all. “I really like her. Promise me you’ll treat her like she’s your sister.”

“I’m happy for you. You know I’ll take care of her.”

I glare at the freeway in front of me. “How do you manage to make that sound dirty?”

“She’s in good hands.
