Ryan

“Hey.”

My eyes lift from the water crashing onto the rocks of Bronte's Peak to the voice that caused more of a shiver to my spine than the nippy winds rolling in from the coastline. Savannah's knee-length skirt rides high on her slim thighs when she straddles the safety barrier on the cliff’s edge to join me on the other side.

“What are you doing out here, Ryan?”

I take a swig on the bottle of beer in my hand, hoping it will clear the cotton from my mouth before replying, “I’m waiting for Amelia to come back from the bathroom.”

Savannah smiles, knowing bathroom means the scrub on the edge of the cliff. There are no public restroom facilities within five miles of Bronte's Peak. The planning commission had hoped a lack of washrooms would lower the chance of this lookout becoming a hook-up spot for local teens.

They were way off the mark.

From the day the manmade marvel was blasted into the rock edge of Bronte's Peak, it has been a favorite destination for teens after sunset. The lack of street lighting and the fact it's far from prying eyes makes it an ideal location for hookups. I'm not an overly social kind of guy, and even I've been here a handful of times the past few years.

“I saw you arrive with Amelia. She’s a nice girl. I’m happy for you,” Savannah says, gliding her hand down the skin on my arm.

"Thanks," I reply before chugging down the remainder of my beer, praying she’ll get the hint I'm not in the mood for conversation.

I spotted Savannah the instant I arrived a little over two hours ago, but with Amelia glued to my side, I’ve successfully avoided the silent interrogation her eyes have been issuing me all night. It’s quite funny, actually. To an outsider, Savannah portrays the ideal girlfriend. She sits in his lap and gushes over his riddled-with-lies stories like he is a king, laughing at the exact moment she is supposed to.

Only those closest to her know it's all an act. They see the faint roll of her eyes for every lie he spills. They notice the way her skin gets clammy when he shows her affection, and they perceive that every time he shifts his eyes away from her, she locks hers with mine.

Even those who don't know Savannah couldn't miss my last confession.

Although Amelia will never admit it, I am confident Savannah's constant glancing my way is the reason she has asked on three separate occasions if I am ready to leave. For every sneaky glimpse she caught, her eagerness to leave grew more rampant. She isn’t the only one hoping for an early night. Forcing my body to ignore Savannah’s attention is as difficult as pretending I like Axel—im-fucking-possible.

The only reason we haven't left is because neither of our friends are ready to end their night just yet. Although I could call a cab, I’ve already spent a lot to ensure Amelia has a perfect night, and I don’t want to spend any more than necessary.
