I reply back to him.
    I get on my knees and reach over to grab a snack,
showing him my backside. If I’m going to have to listen to him make fun of me,
I might as well do it on a full stomach.
    “You’re right, I’m sorry,” he says as I sit back
down next to him. “I don’t really have a favorite color, it just depends on the
day. Right now, my favorite color is cream.”
    “Okay, why cream?”
    “Don’t I get the second question?”
    “That wasn’t really a second question, it was just
me wanting to know a little bit more about your answer.”
    “Alright, why cream you ask… do you really want to
know?”
    I nod my head yes.
    “Because when you bent over to get a snack, you
gave me a perfect view of your cream-colored lace thong that accentuated your
beautiful ass.”
    I gasp in shock and hit him across the shoulder.
    “I can’t believe you looked up my dress!”
    He laughs, as I hit his shoulder again, “I wasn’t
trying to look up your dress, but when you display it right in front of my
eyes, I’m not going to look away.”
    He gives me his puppy dog eyes and I can’t help but
soften to him. I laugh a little, too, but hit him once more, gently, for good
measure.
    We continue to play the game. I learn that he was
the star of his high school football team; he lost his virginity when he was
sixteen, and his brothers and him aren’t very close. He likes to play pool and
water sports, but hates golf.
    I spill my guts to him, too. By the time the game
is over, I’ve had three beers and it’s close to four in the morning.
    I let out a yawn, barely able to keep my eyes open.
I stand up and stretch out my legs.
    “It’s almost dawn, I think I should get going.”
    He gets up and we start to clean up our impromptu
picnic. Jaxon starts to clean up the beer bottles when I hear him whisper,
“Shit.”
    “What’s wrong?”
    “How many beers did you have?” He asks me.
    “Three, I think.”
    He looks back over to the empty bottles and the few
bottles left in the twelve pack. “Which means I’ve had five. I can’t drive you
home, Tessa. You can stay here tonight.”
    I want to argue with him that five beers over the
course of a few hours is okay, but I want to spend the night. Every minute I’m
with him makes me want to fuck him more. Besides, the responsible side of me
knows he shouldn’t drive if he’s been drinking at all.
    “Okay,” I say happily.
    I fold up the blanket and carry it inside. Jaxon
tosses the bottles in the recycling bin next to the entrance of his apartment
building, and brings everything else up with us.
    “You can have my bed and I’ll sleep on the couch.”
    I’m a little hurt by his words and the fact that
he’s not going to try and hook up with me tonight.
    “I’ll sleep on the couch. I’m not putting you out
because you’re nice enough to let me stay here,” I say as he opens the door to
his apartment.
    We walk in and immediately stop in the living room.
It’s a small apartment, about the size of mine, but that’s not why we stop.
    The moans of my best friend, Piper, are coming from
one end of the apartment.
    “Yes, right there… don’t stop,” we hear her scream.
    Jaxon looks embarrassed, “I guess Ryan didn’t come
home alone.” He turns and looks at me, “I’m sorry about this, I didn’t think he
would bring someone home this quickly after hooking up with your friend last
night.”
    I smile at his apology, “Don’t worry about it. The
female voice you’re hearing, that’s Piper.”
    He smiles in understanding. “I’ll sleep out here.
No sense in you having to put up with this all night.”
    I move closer to Jaxon and reach for his hand. “Is
that your room?” I ask, pulling him towards the only other door in the apartment.
    “Yes. What are you doing?”
    “We’re going to sleep.”
    We walk into his room and I close the door behind
him.
    “Much better, we can’t hear them from in here.” I
take my shoes off and leave them at the foot of
