Chapter 4
"Sorry. I was running a little late." I said.
"Come meet everybody. Leave everything in your car.
You're not gonna need it till later." He said. I placed
my bag and slipped over my shorts and top. I put everything in my
car and locked my car then walked away with Jeff.
"Nice tattoo." He said running his fingers over the
cross across my hip.
I smiled, "I love tattoos and piercings."
He nodded, "I have my sisters name and when she died tatooed
across my ribs," He turned and lifted his arm. I felt my
heart ache, "I'm sorry for your loss." I said.
He shrugged, "People die, it's a part of life. I've
learned to accept it."
I nodded, "I love the tattoo though, so
meaningful."
"Where else do you have tattoos?" He asked, changing
the subject.
"I have a heart behind my neck and that's about it. I
want to get more, I just don't know where."
He nodded, "Same. I want more tattoos too, but I only want
meaningful ones."
"That's amazing." I said.
He nodded, "So, here we are. Everybody this is Bree."
Jeff said.
Everybody looked up from their kegs and joints and waved. Jeff
dragged me over to a bunch of guys setting up the bonfire.
"Hey guys." He said.
All the guys looked up, "Damnn. Whose this." A blonde
guy said eyeing my body. I shyed away and half covered my body
with Jeff's.
"Don't be a pig dude," Jeff said hitting him over
the head.
"What. She's a babe! Hello beautiful, I'm Mr.
Right." The guy said.
I shot him a look, "What's your real name? Because
you're doing this all wrong Mr. Right."
All the guys laughed as mr. right blushed a deep red,
"I'm Chad." He said.
"I'm Armani." The tan, dark haired one said.
"The rest of these guys are David, Shane, and Brandyn."
They all waved as their named was said.
"I'm Bree." I said smiling.
"Oh. We know. You're the talk of the school."
Brandyn said.
I put my head down and blushed. "Ohh."
The guys laughed, Jeff whispered in my ear, "It's a good
thing. Don't worry." His warm breathe tickled my
neck.
"Want a beer Jeff?" One of the boys said.
"You know I don't drink.." Jeff said.
"How about you beautiful?"
I nodded, "Sounds good!" A few moments later I had a
beer in my hand and the night was starting. The boys got the fire
lit and soon everybody was having fun and playing drinking games.
I was 5 beers in when I got up. "I'm going to get
another beer." I said. When I left my seat had been
taken.
"Here. Sit here," Jeff said pulling me onto his lap. I
felt his warm hands around my waist and I leaned into him.
"C'mon bro! Give us all a chance." Someone
said.
He laughed, "Sorry. I'm not giving her to you drunken
idiots."
Everyone laughed. "I don't get what's so
funny." I said.
"You're slurring your words." Jeff said.
I shrugged and put my beer to his face, "Want?"
He shook his head, "No thanks. I don't drink."
I turned to face him, "Why not?" I said.
He shrugged, "I just don't."
"Hey! The funnel is here!" Somebody said.
I looked up and saw kegs and funnels being walked towards us.
Jeff pulled me off his lap and went to greet the guys.
A few moments later the funnels and kegs were being set up.
"Hey. Bree. Wanna go first?" Somebody said.
I nodded, "Only if Jeff holds me up." I said looking at
Jeff.
He nodded. A few minutes later he was pulling my legs up and
helping me funnel the beer.
"Damn. This girl can drink!" Somebody
screamed.
