Tate “Hey girls.” Tammy shouts out despite the fact that we’re standing right in front of her. She’s swaying, the beer bottle is in her left hand, she takes a hefty swig. I want to remove it from her and throw it in a bin. “You’ve taken your time. Let’s get you both a drink.” To my surprise Lilly steps in. “I’m driving, Tammy. No drinking for me. Besides it’s a school night. I cannot be doing with feeling shit in class tomorrow. I’m driving Tate home later.” I smile, so grateful that at least two of us aren’t going to be getting wasted. “You two are such spoil sports. You need to have some fun. C’mon just one little drink.” Lilly is firm and shakes her head. “We’ve just go there and you’re already drunk, Tammy. Can’t you slow down a bit?” “Don’t want to.” She takes another swig from the bottle of beer. “You wanna take one of these.” And from inside the cup of her bra she pulls out a small clear plastic bag with some white pills inside. “Jesus. Tammy.” Lilly grabs the bag. “What i
Tate Why is he even here? I’m waiting for my breath to come and for my heart to stop freefalling. He winks at me. The cheek of it, I wish he knew exactly what that does to me. It makes me melt when his electric blue eyes make contact with mine. I can feel my palms beginning to sweat. “What are you doing here?” I ask Liam as he has one arm draped around Jennie’s shoulders. He has no idea how I feel about him and I am trying my damn best to keep it that way. Only it is so fucking hard. Hard. Hard. “Thought I’d just drop by since Denver was coming to meet Lilly.” He drawls. That soft, sexy voice of his. Jennie pushes herself closer into Liam and lays a possessive hand on his chest. The bitch. I hate her as she stands there so close to him. I want it to be me. Liam is wearing black jeans, a black Versace t-shirt and black dessert boots. He looks so frigging hot that if I wasn’t so angry at him for being here with her I’d probably be lusting after him more than I am right now. My hear
Liam “Well that was a bit awkward.” I say as I grab my best friend’s hand. It feels small and delicate in mine. Jennie is glaring at me, it feels as if she has daggers coming out of her eyes. I’m wondering if she is considering throwing the contents of her bottled beer at me. I’m ready to duck in any case. I never promised her anything. We’re casual, you know that kind of hook up when you want it casual. She knows the score. She also knows that Tate is my best friend. So like it or not, I’m taking Tate home. And, after the most embarrassing moment for my bestie, I think I ought to take her home pretty damn soon. “You guys leaving already? The party is only just starting.” I nod and reply to Denver. “Yeah, you know. We’ve got class tomorrow and to be honest, I’ve not finished my history assignment.” I pull Tate closer to me. She is blushing. Why is she blushing? She’s been doing this a lot lately. I’m wondering if it’s a girl thing at her age. I don’t have any sisters otherwise I’d a
Tate I am so tired my eyes are killing me. I also have a niggling in my stomach about Tammy. I knew she liked a drink but seeing her pull out a small bag of pills, well that just scared the shit out of me. I wonder if Liam knows or the others, that she’s now taking pills.The problem with Tammy is that she thinks no one cares, because her parents are too busy being rich and successful. It’s not unknown for them to travel frequently and leave her at home with her little sister, Willow. They have a live in housekeeper, a nanny for Willow who is just six and a chef, so it’s not as if Tammy has to do anything.I look at Liam as he focuses on driving, we’ll be back at our homes in about fifteen minutes. His jawline is strong and square, his cheekbones are high and I long to run a finger down them. I’m fighting the desire to lean over and kiss him. Fighting the urge to place my right hand on his left hand that rests on the centre console. All these urges, needs, wants, desires. They’re cru
Tate I grab myself a glass of cold water to take up to my room too. The house is so silent, after the noise of the party it is soothing. I really don’t get the whole partying scene. I grab some cookies from the flower patterned barrel sitting on the counter and start munching before I’ve got to the bottom of the staircase. I didn’t really eat anything at the party and my dinner was a few hours ago now. Heading up the stairs, I see the light go out under my parents’ bedroom door. Since it’s now well after half-ten and by the time I chat again with Liam and see if he has any news on Tammy, I already know I won’t be getting any sleep much before mid-night. The thought of having to go through the whole day tomorrow being shattered makes me groan. But I do have the trip to Oregon with Liam to look forward to. I can sleep an hour or two on the jet before we land. I’m excited for that, I mean taking me to Oregon to go hiking in my favorite place is just so exciting. I cannot wait. As I ope
Liam I wake up feeling more tired than I did when I went to sleep. Tate and I chatted until mid-night and I already know that girl is going to be as tired as me. She doesn’t do too well with no sleep. I have learnt over the years that Tate is a bit cranky when she’s over-tired. Peering through my shutters, I can see she’s already awake since her blinds are up and her bedroom window is open for the nice fresh morning air. We’re supposed to be going into school together and having breakfast at Mason’s before and meeting up with the others. Although I am doubting very much if Tammy will turn up. I hope so, because just like Tate; I am worried about her too. At least there is the housekeeper and Willow’s nanny at their home to take care of Tammy’s little sister. Donning my black jeans from last night and black suede dessert boots, I walk into my large closet and select a black D&G t-shirt from one of the hangers. Yes, I do like them all hanging up. I really hate that crease mark you get
TateI try really hard to ignore Liam as we drive, not ignore him per se, just you know try not to take in his slightly muscular arms, the tattoos that run up his arms the fact that one of them says Tate. It was his first one. God knows what his first serious girlfriend will say about that. Before I can stop to think the words come out of my mouth as he drives steadily along the road, takes a left and starts pulling into Mason’s breakfast diner.“How you going to explain that tat to your steady girlfriend?”“Huh, what tat?” He asks as he carefully parks. His pickup truck isn’t exactly small but he’s a good driver.“That one. The one that says Tate.” He looks down at his arm, the pickup now in park and removes the key from the ignition.“Nothing, why?”“Only if it were me with a guy and he had a girl’s name permanently inked on his arm, I think I’d be a little jealous.” I bite my lower lip, I know I’d be jealous if it was some other girl’s name on Liam’s arm. I’d want to cut it out wit
TateJust as we’re all wrapping up breakfast we hear a voice. “Hey everyone.” We turn around and see a very bedraggled and rough looking Tammy. She’s definitely not looking her best-self this morning. Not at all.“Jeez you look like shit.” Liam states the obvious. I nudge his leg with mine and give him a slap on it for good measure.“Yeah well it was a bad night.” She plonks herself down on a spare chair at our table. “Give me some coffee would you please.” She asks no one in particular. I’m guessing our girl has literally crawled out of bed, slung on her favorite black skinny jeans and grey hoodie and instead of brushing her hair, tied it in a top knot on top of her head.This is the first time I have ever seen Tammy looking worse for wear. Usually her face is done up and she’ll be wearing bright pink lipstick and wearing her trademark pink. “You want to talk about it?” Asks Lilly concern etched all over her pretty face.Tammy begins to cry, tears run down her perfect cheeks, her gor
Epilogue – Liam I reflect on the summer holidays as I stand in the four-bed house, Tate’s dad got her here in Austin, TX. It’s hot and humid as I watch my girl running around between the kitchen and the boxes in the large, open space lounge. And by large, I mean like seriously fucking BIG. “Are you just going to stand there and watch me like a perv, or you going to come and help me unpack?” Man, is Tate excited or what? We arrived last night, her dad laid on the jet for us, the boxes were already shipped out from our homes last week and the cleaning support came in yesterday morning. There isn’t anything for us to do but unpack. Are we ready for college? Who knows, all I want to do is fuck my girl and play football. It’s exciting for sure. My high school coach spoke to the coach and the manager of the Longhorns here in Austin and I am in. I can’t believe how smoothly it went, Cali said they would have me anytime if things didn’t work out and for State, the manager has already emai
Tate “You did what?” I am completely shocked, it’s out of this world shocked and yet my heart feels like it is going to burst with happiness. “I told my mom that I’m going to transfer to Texas.” He says it like it’s no big deal, but it is a huge fucking big deal. His future for Cali is set, it’s in place. He’ll play college football then go on to play for the State. “Liam, I can’t let you do that. No fucking way.” He is laying on my bed with his arms behind his head, his electric blue eyes drinking me in as I pace my bedroom running my hands through my hair that is hanging down around my shoulders. Wow. This is like, can you imagine the biggest thing that happens to you? Well this is it. “Baby, trust me. I can do exactly what I want.” His mouth is upturned, and I can tell by the way his eyes look and his huge black pupils right now that he has got other things on his mind than what his future holds. “Why don’t I get the impression you think this is a big deal?” I place my hand
Liam I can’t wait to see my girl tonight. My dad is away with her father on business, they’ve got a new deal going through right now. How my mom manages with him being away so much is unfathomable because already I do not want to be away from Tate. And since I don’t want her dreams to be ruined, that and I do not want to have to face her dad if Tate does something rash, like changing out Uni. I have come to a decision. I’ll make some calls, speak to my folks and then I can let Tate in on it. For sure she will be over the moon, and I am hoping that this can work out for us. Being in love with Tate all these years and finally being with her is a dream come true. My body aches not being right next to her now after four days together, I miss her. Jeez, I miss her like crazy and yet she is only across the road. You guys think I’m some kind of sap, right? I can live with that. In all honestly, I don’t rightly care, all I care about is holding her in my arms again later. Being out in the
Tate We have had the most romantic and adventurous four days in Mexico. The city itself was bustling and throngs of tourists were milling around, I was glad by the end of the day when we finally got back to our cabana and had hot sex out on the deck. I am hoping his detail had the courtesy to not be watching. Liam didn’t seem put off at all, as he gave me orgasm after orgasm. We’ve just arrived back home, and I am not going to lie, I am tired. We’ve been up most nights watching movies, having hot sex, eating late night snacks, laying in bed being lazy until nine, reading, talking, and hanging out. My folks have got our trip to Texas booked and I am most definitely not looking forward to going now. I’ve gotten so close to Liam that just the thought of being separated from him is giving me anxiety. I actually feel sick in my stomach, hugely sick like I’m going to vomit, and my stomach is literally in knots. I’m betting he is feeling the same way. When his driver dropped us off and
Tate The way he kisses me sends nice shivers throughout my body, he certainly knows what he is doing, it’s like heaven as I allow my eyes to close to feel him getting closer to my aching flower. I swear it is so swollen I just want him to get inside me, I don’t want to wait I just need to feel him moving with me.I lift my hips to feel his mouth as he runs his tongue along my slit, “keep going, that feels sooo good.” I tell him as I push his head down further between my legs. I can feel as he moans into me, I squeeze my legs around his head but not enough to suffocate him. Could you imagine, I wonder how many guys have been clamped down on a girl’s clit before. I snigger.He lifts his head. “What are you laughing, not my tongue action I hope?” He winks and I place a hand over my mouth to stifle my laughter.“No, not at all. Just keep going. I was thinking about how many guys have been nearly suffocated between girls’ legs.” He grins wickedly before he lowers himself again and slides
Liam The way she looks this morning, her hair sprawled out against the pillows, her flushed cheeks, and the faint smile on her lips as she is still asleep fills my heart up. I get such a rush it takes me by complete surprise. If this is what love really feels like, I damn well wish I’d confessed how I felt to her before. She looks so peaceful, like an angel. I stroke her hair and press my lips to her head not wanting to wake her. As much as my dick wants to wake her up right now and feel her tight pussy gripping it, I have to restrain myself. Tate needs her sleep she always has. Unlike me, I can stay awake til two a.m and still get up for my morning run at five before a full day of school, practice, and the gym. It’s just become routine and I’m good with routine because even though I come from a good family, I could just as easily be a bad boy and get up to all sorts of shit that wouldn’t stand me in good stead. Practice and routine are my allies. Tate on the other hand has always
TateI’m so happy just being here in Liam’s arms, a romantic movie on and all snuggled up. My heart beats so fast because I want him again so badly only, I am a little sore. Instead, he pulls me in tighter, kisses the top of my head and scrolls through his phone.I’ve only been here to Mexico a couple of times before and my folks were with me, so being here with Liam will be a whole new experience and to explore with him. “Do you have anything in mind for tomorrow?” I ask him not taking my eyes from the large tv screen not that I don’t want to look at Liam, I mean he is simply gorgeous like male model gorgeous, but I am engrossed in my all-time favorite movie.“We could go out on the boat and go diving? Or we can go into Mexico City and look around the markets, get something to eat. What do you prefer?” “Oo, I don’t know both sound good. Why don’t we go to the city first then come back and cook something together. We’ve not done that since we were about fifteen doing our cooking pro
Liam “It’s outside, let’s eat some dessert, baby.” I sure am pleased that our waiter delivered them to the door because I am starving, I could eat a horse right now. And I do want my energy for later, only I am guessing that Tate is kinda sore right now and that we ought to wait until tomorrow or at least until the morning. She looks radiant is the best way to describe her right now, her face is glowing, and her smile is enigmatic, she lights up the room. “Brilliant, I’m so hungry. What did you order for dessert?” She asks as she takes a seat on the two-seater sofa in the living space, wearing just my football jersey that comes to mid-thigh. Tate looks damn sexy in it. “Strawberry cream cake with dark chocolate drizzle. You?” I bring the dessert bag in and place it on the marble island in the kitchen area and open the bag careful not to ruin our desserts. “Chocolate mocha cake.” “Your favorite, I should have guessed.” I open the cutlery draw and take out two dessert forks and
Tate “I can’t wait anymore. Please Liam, I’m begging you, let me feel you inside me.” I rake my hands through his jet-black hair and bring his mouth crashing down on mine. My tongue fills his mouth, and our tongues dance a dance I’ve played over and over in my head. Wondering what it would be like to kiss him, to feel his tongue in my mouth. “Okay baby, if you’re sure.” “I’m sure.” My breath catches as he slides his fingers out and leans over to the side table and opens the draw. I hear him fumbling around and watch as he puts the condom packet in his mouth and tears off the edge. “I’m on the pill.” I tell him. He strokes my face, so soft as he caresses my cheek. “It’s best to be extra careful, baby. I don’t want us to have an accident. We have our whole lives to think about and our time will come but not right now.” He makes me swoon; our time will come. He is serious, he wants to be with me forever and to have kids with me one day. My dreams are all going to come true, and I jus
