at the edges of my high. Fuck, this guy is straight to the point. No chatting. No getting to know each other. Just straight into it.

“Ah- maybe a little.” I’m not so sure now. This was a bad idea. I’m not ready for this. Sure, I’d love to share a kiss with someone, but really, I want that someone to be Ayden. Not Andy, whoever the fuck he is! Glancing back over my shoulder again, I double-check my friends are still where I saw them a minute ago. They are, and Rhys catches my eye. Good, she’s keeping an eye on me. That’s good, right?

“If there’s one thing I can do for you tonight, Alexis, what would that be?” I turn back to Andy, who is now closer again. Like all up in my space type of close. I have to strain my neck back to see his eyes which lock on my lips when I look up to him.

Calm down, Lexi. He’s not whipping his dick out. He’s just looking at my lips, wanting a kiss, I guess. I can do that, right? I can kiss him? His lips look pretty nice. They aren’t like Ayden’s lips, but I’m sure they would be soft and warm. I really miss being kissed. Being touched like I’m loved.

“A kiss.” The words leave my lips before I can stop them. Whoops.

“A kiss hey?” Andy grins. It’s a nice grin, but it doesn’t have the sexy dimples like Ayden’s grin does.

“Yeah. I need a really good kiss.” Why the fuck am I still talking? That’s it. No more drinks for me!

“Looks like you came to the right place then, darlin’.” Andy’s fingers gently brush my cheek.

I flinch, but he doesn’t stop. He leans down, and I freeze in place, feeling like I’m about to do something incredibly wrong.

All I can think of is Ayden. But I have to stop thinking about him because he deserves better than me. I will do nothing but bring him down and destroy his kind soul with my bullshit life. I can’t have him.

I can have Andy, though, and this meaningless kiss.

Andy leans in, his eyes on my lips. I have to do this, so I fight back my fears and stand on my toes to close the distance. Andy brushes his lips over mine, and I wait for the warm tingly sensation that gives me butterflies… but it doesn’t come.

The only thing I feel is repulsed. Without even thinking, I push against Andy’s chest, needing to get him away from me. He stumbles back, anger twisting his face, and even though it’s dark, I can see it glow red.

“You fucking tease!”

“Hey! Cockhead! Back off!”

The bellow comes from behind Andy, the deep voice very familiar.

Andy spins, addressing the voice.

“Stupid high school sluts! Talk the talk but can’t walk the walk!” It’s almost like Andy is a different person to the one that approached me only minutes ago. I know, I know. I spoke to him for all of three minutes, but still.

“Yeah? So, you know she’s underage then, man! You might want to fuck off now before I make you!”

Andy growls, dragging his hand over his dirty blonde hair. “Fuck this, Trav. Stop inviting the teenage bitches to our party’s man!”

Trav? I step around Andy to see Travis Watson, my partner in crime. Literally.

“Travis?” My voice comes out like a squeak.

A pimple-faced, cheesy grin spreads over Travis’s face as he moves his eyes to me, but then, he turns to address Andy again. “Fuck off will ya!”

Andy grumbles something under his breath, storming off towards the shed, and Travis steps up to me and places his hands on my forearms.

“If it isn’t the one and only, Sexy Lexi.” His smile is big, and all I feel is relief. Launching myself at him, I wrap my arms around his neck in a tight hold. “Aww, you missed me, didn’t you?”

I nod into his neck, and he chuckles.

“I’m so sorry about the school thing,” I say low enough that only he can hear.

Peeling my grip from around his neck, Travis steps back to look me over.

“Forget about that. Are you okay Lex? I fucking freaked when I saw that news report about you. I beat the shit outta Mike when I saw him a couple of days later.”

“What?” I screech, “You saw Mike? My Brother?”

“Yeah. It was a few days after the news broke. The fucker had the nerve to come knocking to score some dope. Fucking idiot. As if I’m gonna sell to that dipshit. Turns out he went on a bender with the product he was meant to sell, and his dealer cut him off and gave him a week to come up with the cash. I got no idea what happened to him after I laid into him, but his name is dirt in the Valley now, and it has more to do with why the cops are looking for him, and less to do with drugs.”

Wow. Mike didn’t even try to flee the area. He’s either dumb as all fuck, or has a big set of gonads. I’m betting on the former.

My mind is still reeling when arms wrap around me from behind.

“Oh, baby, you did it again, didn’t you?” Rhys’s voice draws Trav’s attention, and she slides her hands seductively over my waist, “Sorry man, she’s new to lesbianism. Sometimes she forgets she prefers pussy.”

A laugh rips free before I can stop it, and Trav joins me while eyeing Rhys with interest. I turn in her arms and hug her before looking back over my shoulder to Travis.

“Rhys, this is Travis, an old friend.”

“Well, I’m glad he’s an old friend. For a moment, I thought you were playing pass the parcel with your tongues. Where did that Andy guy storm off to?” Rhys links her fingers in mine while she blatantly checks out Travis.

Travis’s brows shoot up. “So, Andy got a tongue in, did he?”

I shoot Travis a dagger, but he just laughs at me.

“Was
