Chapter 16
Two half-empty margarita glasses sit between me and Finley. We’re in a staring contest and I’m pretty sure she’s going to win. If I’ve proven anything this summer, it’s that I’m weak when it comes to Carter.
“Just invite him,” she says.
“It feels wrong. And awkward.”
“It’s just me and Ryan, who I’ve already told about him, you know. He doesn’t care.”
“I know, but once I introduce him to people then it becomes real. Right now it’s like he’s my secret plaything and it’s sort of pretend.”
“You’ve had sex in his car, the bathhouse and on the picnic table. His dick has been in your mouth and he drinks your cooch juices. You got past pretend a long time ago. Plus, I let you have sex in my house, so you kind of owe me.”
I spit a mouthful of margarita back in the glass. “Cooch juices? What is wrong with you?”
She smirks and takes a big gulp of her drink. “Ruthie, it’s the Fourth of July. Just bring him on the freaking picnic so I have someone to talk to while we watch the fireworks. I’ll bake a pie or something.”
I’m still not sure. “He probably already has plans. You know, with his friends.”
Finley dips a chip in the salsa. We’ve gone out for a ‘girl’s night’, which isn’t very different from work other than the lack of sunscreen and more alcohol. “Yeah, right. He’ll give up a night with you and probable sex to hang out with his dorky friends. Just invite him.”
“Fine.”
The next day when he’s taking out the trash, I make an excuse to go to my car.
“Hey,” I say, pretending to casually pass by.
His eyes perk up. “Hi, what’s up?”
“Um, so, what are you doing on the Fourth?”
His whistle is resting on his chest, glinting in the hot sun. “I’m working til about six,” he said.
“After that?”
“I don’t know. I haven’t gotten that far.”
I shade my face with my hand and God it’s hard being this close to him and not touch him. I mean, we’re alone but not alone. Those nosy moms could come out here at any time. Or one of the other guards.
“What are you doing?” he prompts because I still haven’t asked him. The words seem lodged in my throat. Which is stupid because I have no problem lodging his dick in my throat and telling him that when he pinches my nipples just right I could come by that alone, but ask him to a picnic? I become a fucking mute.
“Finley, wants us to do something with her and her boyfriend, Ryan. Picnic, fireworks,” I say this while scrunching my nose like this is a terrible idea.
“Oh yeah? That sounds cool.”
“You think so?”
“Sure, they’ve got awesome fireworks downtown. I usually go with my friends but I’d rather spend it with you.”
“You would?”
He gives me a weird look. “Yeah, silly.” We hear a whistle blow and he says, “I should get back. Remember I’ve got that thing tonight, with my parents? And I’m off tomorrow.
