slipped her hand inside his bathing suit, it was because she wanted to, because she liked the way his cock felt, not because she thought
he
would like it and she was doing it just to please him. That made all the difference for Nick.
Grace, on the other hand, was complicated. She was someone who needed attention, who wanted a boyfriend, someone to talk to and someone to listen to her. It wasn’t all about living in the moment for a girl like Grace. In her mind, every guy was potential husband material. Not what he was looking for the year before he went to college. Amy just wanted to smoke pot and get naked. It was no contest. He probably should have thought about that a little more before he worked his charm on Grace. It had been too easy, like trapping a helpless little bunny, and now, looking at her, a mass of dripping wet hair and chattering teeth, he kind of regretted taking advantage of her. Somehow she had been more virginal, and vulnerable, than most virgins, and he should have hit the brakes. Now she was coming to tell him off. It had probably taken her the whole summer to work up the nerve to come tell him, in perfectly grammatical English, what she thought of him. Well, he guessed Amy could wait a little. If she was as horny as he was, a quick swim while he listened to Grace vent for a few minutes (he knew he owed her that, after what he’d taken from her) wouldn’t be enough to take the edge off.
“Could we have a minute alone?” Grace said to Bikini Girl as she pulled herself onto the dock, still sucking in her stomach, feeling extremely self-conscious next to this waif in the handkerchief that passed for a bathing suit. She was so thin, her stomach was practically concave. Grace wondered where she kept her internal organs.
“Who
is
this toad?” Amy asked, furious that an otherwise perfect afternoon was being interrupted by some doofus in an old-fashioned one-piece who looked like she’d escaped from the day camp at the YMCA. The fact that Amy didn’t recognize Grace, even though they’d gone to the same high school for three years, and the same middle school for three years before that, confirmed to Grace everything she already knew, and everything Jennifer had reiterated: the kids who sat in the cool section of the cafeteria were completely unaware of those who sat in the social ghetto next to the kitchen.
“She’s nobody. Give me a minute, and I’ll get rid of her.” Nick ran his hand across Amy’s chest and she shivered with pleasure. “Don’t go too far.”
Nick was definitely worth the wait, so she shrugged, and said, “Fine, but you’d better have more pot.” Giving Grace a withering look, she executed a flawless dive and disappeared under the water, surfacing about ten yards away. She swam effortlessly towards shore.
At Nick’s characterization of her as a “nobody,” Grace’s heart fell to somewhere down by her feet. While she hadn’t expected a kiss and an apology, she hadn’t been prepared for such a royal dis, and she wished with all her might that she were anywhere else, anybody else.
“So, what do you want?”
Nick waited. He figured he knew what was coming, and although he didn’t understand why Grace needed to swim out to the middle of Silver Lake to scold him for not calling her all summer and lying about going to Europe, he could understand how she must feel. Getting dumped sucked, even when in his mind they’d never really been together. Nice girls required too much effort. He made a vow, which he already knew he probably wouldn’t be keeping, to avoid such complications in the future. Definitely not worth having to stare into those puppy dog eyes after all was said and done, and he knew there was no way she would ever go down on him.
Taking a deep breath and looking him square in those clear blue eyes, which, even after all that had happened, made her heart pause, Grace stammered, “I’m … I’m pregnant.”
