still concerned me. When my gaze came full circle and landed back on Reese, Josh was staring me down. I didn’t even know who they called as the winners for Homecoming Court. It wasn’t Josh—we were having a silent pissing match, Josh glaring at me and mouthing something. Lucky for him, I can’t read lips.
The rest of the game went by quickly , but I was still fuming over Josh and his antics. I decided my attending the dance probably wasn’t the best idea. The varsity won, so there would be a huge bonfire tonight for everyone who wasn’t going to the dance and some of the recent graduates who came back for the game I headed straight out to The Orchard. No need to hang around.
Pulling the Camry onto the dirt lane between the orchard and the railroad tracks, I noticed there were already a ton of cars lined up. A lot of people skipped the dance and were here, instead. . You need to find you a girl, Titus! A girl who isn’t Reese.
Water bottle in hand , I headed over to the crowd of people and the fire. Music blasted out of the speakers in someone’s truck. At least this group liked rock. Brie, a senior from last year that I may have hooked up with once, sashayed her hips coming toward me. She looked good, short black hair with purple chunks in it. Her eyes an eerie yellow-gold but looked downright hot rimmed in black eyeliner. Her short black skirt was paired with a purple tank and black jacket. The whole outfit was topped off with these killer knee-high boots. The girl was and has always had been a rocker chick. I could get lost in her, tonight. She was the perfect distraction.
“Ty, Baby, whatcha been up to?” She practically purred.
I flashed a smile and let my gaze rest on her flat stomach , peaking out before glancing over her chest and finally resting on her sweet lips. “Not much. You?”
She tipped her head, lifting her eyebrows . “Water?”
“You know I don’t drink. I’m the DD.”
She slapped her forehead. “That’s right. Well, would you mind driving me home, later? I came with Ashlyn and her man. We all know they’ll leave early.”
“Yeah , I can give you a ride home. Is that all you came over here for?”
She slid her hand around my neck and smashed her lips to mine. I pulled back chuckling. Brie will be perfect for tonight. “Is that all you came over for?” She countered.
She shook her head, “No hot stuff, we were good together. Even if it was only once. We just never got the chance, again. Now look… here we are, both single and both willing. Right?”
A smile spread across my face and she answered it with one of her own. I nodded . “Right.”
Sliding her ha nd down my arm she laced her fingers with mine before leading me over, closer to the bonfire. The acrid smell of smoke filled the air. I glanced around the loose circle that formed around the bonfire. Some of the cheerleaders were here. I thought it was mandatory for them to attend the Homecoming Dance. Quite a few of my football team were here, also. It seemed like most of the crowd was made up of last year’s graduates. I swear, practically the whole graduating class was gathered around the fire.
Brie smiled up at me and curled her finger around mine, her eyes pleading, “Come with me,” as she stepped backward, pulling me away from the fire and crowd.
“Brie, where we going?” I lifted my eyebrow at her. I had a pretty good idea where we were headed.
“Oh, you know. Just to get reacquainted.” She winked and spun around to walk beside me. Just as we entered into the peach orchard, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I stopped, pulling it out, expecting a curfew reminder message from my mom.
Instead, when I glanced down, I saw Reese’s name my stomach twisted in anticipation. Why? I was getting ready to get her off my mind!
Ree se: U at The Orchard?
Me: Ya. Why?
Reese : Sorry to bother you. Can you let me know if C shows up?
Me : Ya Why?
Reese : She left the dance with Alex about 15 mins ago and
