anything you’re not ready for, baby. Don’t cry. ” I’m rubbing my hands up and down her back to comfort her, when she looks up at me with tear-stained cheeks.
“Wanting to teach me how to drive is the sweetest thing you could have done for me. I’m not crying because I’m sad, I’m happy. ” She places a salty kiss on my lips, then squeals as she runs around to the other side, slipping in and buckling up.
The next three hours I patiently teach her how to drive. She’s actually very good; I’m not surprised because she’s like eighteen going on twenty-five. I’m going to stop by the DMV tomorrow to pick up her driver’s manual so she can study while I’m working.
Chapter Thirteen
Riley
I’m so excited that Hunter’s teaching me how to drive. Since I was sixteen I’ve wanted my license, but my mom wouldn’t let me. She didn’t have the time nor the money to send me to Drivers Ed, so I had to depend on Ashley or her mom to drive me to school.
Hunter and I had so much fun this past weekend and he did tell his friend Craig that I was his girlfriend. But am I, really? Why would he let me continue to see Parker? If it was the other way around I wouldn’t want Hunter seeing anyone else, even as friends.
It’s such a beautiful day, so I convinced Parker to hang out at the beach. He’s not supposed to get here until lunchtime so I decide to go running first. Strapping on my iPod, I search for one of my favorite playlists and begin my jog. I concentrate on the beat of the music and my breathing as I make my way down the coast.
When I get to the spot where I normally turn around I see a familiar face ambling their way towards me. I never get tired of looking at him, he’s even sexier with his lifeguard trunks and his whistle around his neck. The only thing missing is his tattoo, which makes me miss the smiling face of his brother.
“Hey beautiful, fancy meeting you here. ” Hunter cups my face and crushes his mouth to mine, leaving me a bit light-headed.
“I’m all sweaty, babe. ” Chuckling, I pull away.
“Can’t a guy be glad to see his girl?” He smiles down at me. “I picked up your manual this morning. Is it okay if I stop by later to drop it off?”
His girl, well hell.
“Yeah, Parker and I will be hanging out at the beach all day. Just stop by after work. ” Looking up at him I try to gauge his expression, but he doesn’t look angry.
“Sounds good; I’ll see you later. ” He pulls me in, kissing me senseless. He has my toes curling. Damn.
I watch him jog down the beach before turning around and heading home. He called me his girl, what does that mean? He never flinched when I mentioned that Parker and I would be hanging out. I don’t get it. I pegged him for the jealous type—guess not.
After showering, I change into my most modest bikini before heading down to the beach so I can soak up some sun before Parker gets here.
“Hey Riley, thanks for waiting for me. ” Glancing up I see a staggering Parker heading my way.
“It’s not like the beach is so crowded you won’t find me. ” What’s with that look on his face?
“Even if the beach were crowded I could pick you out immediately, gorgeous." He leers at me as he sits down too close to me. Trying to scoot over I realize my blanket has ended and I’m right near the sand. Great!
I’m not comfortable with him this close. “Could you move over a bit? I’m almost off the blanket. ”
“Why don’t you just lie on top of me. You can be my blanket?” he snorts as his hand shoots out to wrap around my waist.
When I try standing up I stumble, landing flat on my back, which gives him the perfect opportunity. He straddles me, pinning my wrists to my sides before he asks, “Did I interrupt your little moment with Hunter on the jet ski the other day?” He wiggles his eyebrows, taunting me.
That Bastard!
I’m so angry that I can’t catch my breath when he forces his mouth on mine. I’m starting to hyperventilate
