and a whole lot of inappropriate groping—plus there was far too much drool. I passed out before Kelly even had his hand up my top. I won’t lie; Kelly had an attraction to me, too, at the point, so therefore was all in for the messy fondling.
“Hey,” I say, wagging a finger at him. “You went right in to second base with that horrible kiss.”
He shrugs. “You’re hot, I liked you, I was also drunk and I figured why not? The kiss was off-putting, don’t get me wrong, but shit . . . I was a young dude. I wasn’t going to say no to all that.”
He points to my breasts and I cover them. “Don’t pay out on the breasts, dude.” I laugh. I was blessed with a tall, lean figure but I also got whacked with breasts. Not huge, but certainly not small either.
“We corrected the kiss,” he points out.
I smile and blush. We did correct the kiss. We tried it again two nights later when we could face each once more. The kiss he gave me then, outside my front door, was breathtaking. There were tongues, and soft caresses, and a whole lot of sexual tension. Then Liam caught us, threw a fit and we decided at that point it was better we remained friends, and here we are. It was the better choice, of that I’m sure—but boy, was I disappointed for a long time.
I mean, it’s Kelly—that should say it all.
“It was a good correction,” I admit.
He wraps an arm around me.
“Hell yeah it was.”
I smile.
Kelly always makes me feel better.
CHAPTER 7
AVERY
“H e wants us all there. It’s his birthday,” I say to Jacob a week later, as I’m pushing towels into a bag.
Kelly invited us to his beach cabin for a birthday gathering. I want to go; it’s been a while since I’ve been to the beach just to enjoy time with my friends. Jacob is fussing because he doesn’t want to attend. The beach isn’t his scene. Snort . The only scene he has is upper class fuddy-duddys with sticks shoved so far up their asses they’ve got splinters on their tongues.
Besides, I go with him to all of his gatherings, so he can just damn well come to mine.
“You don’t have to stay long,” I add in, putting a pair of sunglasses on top of my head.
“An hour, max,” he mutters, turning to me.
He’s wearing a long-sleeved shirt, trousers and a tie. Who wears a tie to the beach? Honestly? I don’t bother to argue. He doesn’t know the meaning of the word fun and to be honest, I’m tired of pushing him in a direction he’ll never take. I grab the car keys off the counter and throw them at him before turning and walking out the front door.
“Attitude,” he mumbles.
I smile to myself.
We get into the car and the entire journey out to Kelly’s beach cabin is quiet. He’s brooding, no doubt praying his phone will ring to get him out of it. It doesn’t, much to his utter horror. We arrive and I can see a fire crackling down on the sand. I smile, stepping out of the car the moment it stops and inhaling the smoky, salty scent surrounding me. Even though it’s late afternoon, the fire just adds to the scene.
“I’ll meet you down there!” I say, swinging my bag over my shoulders and giving myself a quick check in the mirror.
I’m wearing a pair of denim cut-offs with a light-yellow bikini. My hair is down and flowing around my shoulders in loose, natural curls. The salt will only make it better. I pull my sunglasses on, throw my flip-flops in the car and start towards the fire.
I see Kelly right away, standing next to Liam and a few of their buddies. Kelly notices me first, and a big grin appears on his face. He’s shirtless and his completely ink-free body is glistening in the sun. He’s already been swimming. I beam and throw my arms around his neck when I reach him.
“Happy Birthday!”
He swings me in a circle. “Thanks Av.” He grins, setting me down. “Did you bring Jacob?”
I pout.
His grin widens.
“I guess that’s a yes?”
“Don’t even get me started.”
He laughs. “Put your stuff down,
