Plus One Chapter 16
Oh shit I'm not ready to do this again. I reach for Max's beer but he snatches it away.Growling, I look over my shoulder at my mother once more.Ponytail high on her head, and yoga clothes so tight they looked painted on. A pink yoga mat tucked under one arm. Yep, that's her."Mom!" I wave, catching her attention. She mumbles something into the phone before hanging up."Rae?" she squints her eyes, it's dark and getting hard to see. "What are you doing here?" she questions with surprise as she walks over to us. "Oh, nice to see you again!" She smiles big at Max."This is Max. Do you remember him?" I gesture my arm out toward Max."Of course," she screeches, and everyone looks our way. "Nice to meet you again, ma'am," Max holds his hand out, the drawl in his voice making my mother blush and me weak in the knees. Oh, he's good."Oh, don't call me that. Makes me feel old. Call me Bailey." My mother blushes and I roll my eyes.My mother shakes his hand, her eyes turning

***RaeThe next dayClimbing out of the shower I glance in the mirror noticing the red splotches from the allergic reaction have started to slowly fade. I learned a valuable lesson last night. Be careful what you wish for. I prayed for dying of an allergic reaction to the lobster, and I broke out in hives late last night. I felt like I was going to die. If it wasn't for Quinn asking our neighbor for Benadryl, who knows maybe I would have.Grabbing the towel, I rub the droplets from my chest."Jeez, I look like a lobster," I frown. Maybe it's because the water was a little hot?Tightening the towel around my body I try not to focus on the spots. Max will be here soon, I have to get ready.Pushing the clothes in my closet aside I look for something date appropriate. Something that doesn't say 'I worked hard to look like this for you', but something that doesn't suggest I didn't even try.I settle on a green tank top with a red and white flannel blouse to match.Biting

"You bitch, that is going to leave a bruise!" Quinn flails into the living room in a blistering fury."Time to go!" I grab the door and shut it behind me quickly.Max opens the door to his truck and I slide in thanking him as I shut the door behind me. He strides around the truck and gets in, starting it in one quick move. The speakers come to life with the song "Drunk On You" by Luke Bryan playing. I can't help but look at him under my eyelashes as he starts singing the lyrics."Mmhhmm," Max hums at me, raising his brows.My heart beats a little faster hearing him hit the notes perfectly. There is something about a guy singing that makes a woman weak in the knees.He turns the music down, turns his hat backwards and pulls away from the curb."Where are we goin'?" he asks.I give him the address and he heads that way. Tapping his thumb against the steering wheel and singing to the radio the whole time.***MaxFollowing Rae's directions, we end up outside of town

Lani steps aside and Rae and I walk inside. A staircase sits to the left with a small entryway leading off into what looks like a kitchen. A living room to the left. The walls are white with distressed cracks in the wood, and the floor's the same but a natural wood color. This house has memories and tells a story just by looking at it. I can't help but imagine Rae running through this house as a little kid. Probably just as much of a pain in the ass as she is now.A tall built man steps out of the living room. His hair a brown color and thinning, his face red from what looks like being in the sun. He's wearing a red shirt and blue jeans, his farmer's tan blinding as the brass color of his arms turning into a deafening white mid-arm. I remember seeing him at the wedding."You're just in time for dinner." Rae's father holds his hand out. I shake his hand, and though he's smiling I sense an unspoken warning in his eyes. That if I break his little girl's heart... he'll tear mine

"So, Rae. How was it you two met again?" His eyes linger on her chest before meeting her eyes. Hair pricks on the back of my neck, my hands balling into hard steel.I glance at Rae who is looking at me with panicked eyes. We didn't go over that one, and we can't tell the truth. "I was at the park with my dog one summer day and when I threw the ball I noticed little Sparky never came back. So I went in the general direction he was and I found him sitting at the feet of Rae who was taking a picture of him." I glance at Rae who is red in the face, eyes wide as saucers and mouth parted in disbelief. "Not in a creepy way or anything," Rae tries to defend herself. I bite my lip to keep from laughing. "Eh, it was a little creepy, but she was super sexy so it made up for it," I tell."Interesting," George adds."Anyhow, it's nice to see you bring someone to these dinners, Rae. I'm sure your parents are proud you're done playing around at bars, I won't get started on how worried

"Yeah," is all I manage to say.Driving to Rae's house I can't stop myself from staring at her. The window is down and her hair is blowing around her like a damn halo of chaos. Watching a woman without her knowing really tells a man what she's all about. Pulling up to the curb, I turn the ignition off."Thanks for coming," she smiles. "Yeah, no problem," I smirk. "Just doing my part," I remind myself more than her. Opening the door she slips out, and heads to her door. She doesn't look back like every other girl I've dropped off at their house. I'd get out and walk her to her door but I don't trust myself just to see if desire lingers in her eyes for me at all, that would be the last of my self-control.So instead I'm going home to jerk off and wonder why it is I can't land a girl like Rae.***RaeLast night with Max didn't go as I expected. Not that I knew what to expect, but Max making out with my neck wasn't one of them. Toothbrush in hand I trail a finger a

***MaxSitting in my chair I watch the MMA match on TV, lazily sipping a beer with a bowl of Doritos in my lap.I shouldn't have texted Rae today. What the hell was I thinking? I bite into a chip, thinking about what the hell was on my mind when I sent that text.I was generally curious what she was up to. Why? I wonder what she's doing right now. What she's wearing.The thought of her in a short skirt and no panties flare in the back of my mind and my cock begins to grow in my sweatpants.Fuck! I take my focus back to the TV. I wonder if Rae is at home?Growling, I set the bowl of chips on the side table and down the rest of my beer.I need a cold shower. Again.Undressing, my hard cock springs free, it's sensitive and near fucking purple. I swear to God blue-balls is a real thing. Stepping into the cold shower, it pricks and stabs my skin. Gritting my teeth, I take it, needing it. I lather my hair with soap and wash my body. None of it helping with the

Max turns, grabbing both sides of my face."Are you okay?" he whispers, his wild eyes looking into mine with an unrecognizable longing in them. I nod, grabbing onto his hands, the warmth of them pulling me into him. "Yes, my cab is coming and taking me home," I inform him, my eyes fluttering.He glances up deep in thought, before looking me in the eyes."No, you're coming home with me," he demands, rather than asks."What? No, I can go home. I'm fine," I insist, I can't go home with him. I'm drunk and finding him irresistible tonight.So many rules will be broken."You're not okay, and I'm not letting you get in a car with a stranger in this condition. You will either come willingly or not, your choice," he replies arrogantly. I glower at him; my stomach protesting that last sour daiquiri. I turn, walking away from him and lose my balance. Just as I'm about to face plant Max swoops in and grabs me by the waist. Relief floods my system, as I didn't just break my

A blazing heat licks across my cheek. I rub the ache, eyeing her wildly. "That is for breaking her heart!" She crosses her arms. "What's left of it anyway."I nod in knowing, and walk out. Getting in my truck I head toward the old carnival. I haven't been back since the day I found out that baby wasn't mine.Twenty minutes later I pull onto the dirt road, the trees more overgrown since the last time I was here. There's spider webs and birds everywhere as I slowly travel down it. I pray she is here. I need to see her to explain how I messed up.I spot Quinn's silver car and my heart skips a beat in relief. I found her.I put the truck in park before I come to a complete stop and get out. Looking across the rides I find her sitting in a scrambler bucket looking out at the lake. She's wearing the dress I got her and she looks fucking beautiful. I stop, taking the image in and programming it to memory. The vines are laced up the poles in a vast of greenery. The bucket she's s

He falls to the ground, crying like a little bitch baby. Clawing at his eyes that are now puffy and red. Snot pours from his nose, mixing with the slobber bubbling from his mouth.I keep hitting him with the purse, over and over. The damn thing feeling like a brick rather than a purse. What the hell does she keep in here?"Okay! Okay!" Quinn grabs at my arms, causing my assault on Jacob to come to a halt.I point at him, unshed tears filling the brim of my eyes."You have taken enough away from me. Away from Max," I cry. He just had to tell me about Max, and he did it with a shit eating grin. "If I see you again, I'll spray that pepper spray up your ass." I threaten out of breath, handing Quinn her purse.Taking a step back, I grab my suitcase and follow Quinn back to her car. "I feel like teenagers all over again," she laughs as I throw my shit in the back and get in.Resting my head on my hand I give a smirk and slump back into the seat, not seeing the humor in any of

***Max"You've got to be kidding?" I glare at Mom. I came to her in hopes there was another cabin, but there isn't."I'm not, it's the only bed available," she clips, not happy with me either. I sigh. I'm not sharing a room with Jacob. I'll kill him."I'll sleep in my fucking truck," I growl. "Just give the boy a key to his cabin, Becca," my dad sides with me, and Mom turns her head so fast it looks near exorcist."No, he got himself into this mess he can lay in his bed." She glances at me. "Or his truck, whatever he chooses." She places her hand on her hip and eyes me with disappointed eyes. "I mean really Max, what were you thinking setting that poor girl up?" her voice rises.I shake my head. "I was thinking about shutting you the hell up and out of my business, but that was before I got to know Rae." She gasps, clutching her chest. "I care for Rae, I care for her so much it makes everything else seem insignificant in comparison," I mutter, the hurt in my voice not
Plus One Chapter 50
***MaxI watch her disappear into the night, her black dress swaying around her legs from the light wind.Jacob groans, and I look down at him. The piece of shit. He did all of this on purpose, to hurt me and Rae. I step over him, grab him by the shirt and jerk my fist back."MAX!" Macy cries behind me. A growl vibrates my chest, my knuckles turning white from the grip I have on him."Let him go son, he's not worth it." Agatha appears to my left. Breaking my focus from Jacob. "Go find her," she encourages.I shove Jacob to the ground, my chest rising and falling with the anger pulsing through me.I never should have let this get this far. I love Rae, and it took me losing her for me to really see it. This unbearable burn in my chest overtakes anything I've ever felt. Including when Marissa screwed around with Jacob.Looking up, everyone is watching, feeding off the drama. Looking at Macy I silently apologize and run after Rae.I should have told Rae in the c

He looks at me and that unknown tension that was once there fills his eyes again. I silently plead for him to tell me what is going on, for anything that Jacob tells me will make it that much worse.The song ends, but Max doesn't let go. He keeps swaying his hips and looking deep into my eyes. As if he's afraid to let me go.Taylor Swift sings "Wildest Dreams" and the spell that Max is under breaks. "Oh no, your father is drinking again," Becca whines to Max. We look at the bar and find Mark fisting a tumbler of amber liquid. Max looks down at me and sighs. "When my dad drinks... he thinks he's God's gift to women," he informs and I laugh. "I'll be back." Max kisses my cheek and accompanies his mother to the bar."Would you reject a man asking for a dance?" My head snaps to the side finding Jacob looking at me sheepishly. "Are you serious?" I raise a brow. "Unbelievable," I mutter. Walking off the dance floor, my arm is suddenly jerked making me come to a complete stop."

"I won't," I reply, my eyes narrowed. I'm not sure what her words mean entirely but they sit heavy on my chest. "Agatha!" We both turn at the voice, finding Mark and Becca looking at us. "Are you smoking?" Becca looks at her puzzled. Agatha looks down and throws them at me."What, no? These are Rae's she was trying to get me to smoke one," she lies, and they both look at me.My mouth falls open, my heart beating in panic."Come on, let's get you cleaned up, Mom." Mark pats her back. "The rehearsal dinner is in a few minutes."Becca looks over her shoulder, eyeing the cigarettes.I just sigh, and take a drag off my own.What else am I to do?I do my hair and get dressed in one of my dresses. I want to wear the one Max got me, but I will wear it tomorrow to the actual wedding. Going through my suitcase I find a black strappy dress and match it with my black heels. I apply some light makeup and then some gloss. "You look great," Max compliments. I turn with a bashful

"Really, son?" Becca asks, unamused. Max's jaw is clenched tight, his hard stare not giving anything away. Macy opens her mouth to say something but quickly turns on her heel and heads back into the dining room.Becca looks at me with a tightlipped smile, as she elegantly flicks her bangs out of her eyes."Are you two ready to have breakfast now?" Becca questions, before turning away. "I see why you like her, son," she rambles off over her shoulder, winking at me before she jerks the dining room door open and disappears inside."You do have a nice ass," Max shrugs, and I just want the floor to open up and swallow me whole.***Breakfast is awkward, and quiet. The only thing you can hear are the sound of forks scraping plates, and everyone is staring at me like I should be wearing a scarlet letter on my shoulder. After what Becca and Macy just witnessed, it's probably accurate. Afterwards we return back to our cabin were Max proceeds to screw me within an inch of my life

"Can we talk?" Jacob asks, just above my shoulder.I look at Max who has an unreadable expression on his face."Sure," I growl, throwing my napkin on the plate.Max grabs my wrist halting me."You don't have anything sharp on you, do you?"I look at him confused before realizing he's nervous I might commit murder."Not that I would judge you, but you know... it's my sister's wedding," he winks, and I silently laugh.Just outside the dining room I come face to face with Jacob. He's staring at me with wide eyes, and my hands are balled into fists. "Why are you here?" he asks, his tone much softer than what I'm feeling inside. I'm angry, and hurt. Things I wanted to say to his face after our wedding on the tip of my tongue. Things I wanted to do to him raging in the palm of my hands.He turns, his hands running through his hair frustrated."Are you with Max?" he finally asks, turning to face me once again."Yes I am! So what?" I yell, not caring if everyone hears me
Plus One Chapter 45
***MaxI didn't get to the room until late last night and Rae was already asleep. I thought about what I wanted to say to her the whole time I was helping my mom and sister with setting chairs and tables. Then they got into an argument about placement. I just sat back and drank a beer until they figured it out.I was going to tell Rae yesterday I wanted the next step in whatever the hell we were doing. At least I think I was until Uncle Henry came knocking on the damn door.Maybe I should tell her this morning?"Is this okay?" Rae asks, twirling in a light white sundress. "Babe, it's just breakfast," I remind her. I don't know why she's so freaked out having breakfast with everyone. Nobody is even going to pay attention to us."I know it is, but I want to look nice," she mutters, slipping on some brown wedges. I stand up and walk over to her. Grabbing her by the waist I twirl the lock of hair that escaped her messy ponytail. "You've been in that bathroom for fifte
