Wild Ones Tip #491

Sometimes people think our crazy is contagious.

Just know the effects aren’t usually permanent.

LIAM

My arm stretches out, reaching and reaching for Kylie…until I touch the edge of my massive bed and realize she’s not anywhere on the cold side of the mattress.

Darting awake, I look around, seeing her boots gone.

Pushing the covers off, I start looking through the house, calling out her name. Of course she’s gone.

Groaning, I run a hand through my hair.

I really thought after last night, she was mine. Which is stupid, because I knew it wouldn’t possibly be that easy before I ever moved out here.

There’s no note, and she doesn’t have a number to call.

Frustrated, I pull on some clothes, grab my keys, and start to go search for her. However, when I open my door, Bill is standing there with none other than George Malone.

I’ve seen this movie.

This is the part where the obsessed city guy who stalked the girl gets killed and dumped in the lake.

“Good!” Bill says with a wide smile on his face. “You’re up! Challenge committee is meeting in ten minutes. You can ride with us.”

George has his eyes narrowed as he looks past me and into my house.

“Kylie here?” he finally asks, his eyes meeting mine.

Not awkward at all.

“Nope,” is the only response I give while walking out, moving between them as I head toward the dock. “So what happens at these meetings? And how much warning is there usually?”

“It’s always spontaneous and there’s a lot of arguing. This year, we finally get the best challenge passed, because we have you,” Bill says.

He claps my shoulder.

Benson drives by in the new ski boat he just bought, since Lilah’s boat finally crapped out and she took his boat as a wedding present to herself. Killian and Hale are with him, and I half want to slap them for not being the ones to come get me.

Killian and Hale turn to give me a telltale grin when they see the beastly Malone right on my heels. Dicks. This is because I canceled steak night to spend all night with Kylie.

Without thinking too much about it, I hop down onto George Malone’s hover boat, wondering if I should leave a note for someone to find in case I go missing.

Refusing to look at him again, I concentrate on Bill, hoping to get some insight into what kind of madness I’m about to walk into.

“It’s a very classy gathering,” is his only lie.
