Flynn
The party already smells like B.O, spilt alcohol and smoke by the time I arrive and the sun is still up.
"You made it!" Jake slurs as he wraps his arm around me. Spilling his veer done the back of my shirt in the prcess.
"s**t, sorry man!" He curses as he tries to wipe the drink off of my soaked shirt.
"It's OK, I was going to go for a swim anyway." I state as I pull my shirt over my head and tuck it into my shorts pocket.
I hear whispers from the girls around me as I walk through the crowd towards the beach. Kellan's parents had an awesome house. It backs right onto the coast along the side of our Pack territory.
I continue weaving through people to make my way to the bonfire. I see a few people sitting around the fire on the logs making out, but one person grabs my attention.
Lilah.
She was sitting there with a few other girls. One I recognized was Monica from the girls' soccer team. I feel my heart start to race instantly. I don't even realize my feet are walking me to her until I am almost there.
She looks hot. Her tanned chest and stomach are showing in her bikini and I have to stop myself from running my fingers along it.
I sit down beside her, just close enough to not be touching. The three girls stare at me expectantly.
Think of something quick! Jett pushes.
"We're all looking lovely tonight, ladies!" I state cooly.
"What do you want?" Monica questions me. I feel Lilah shuffle away from me a little and I have to stop myself from closing the newly formed gap instantly.
"Just wondering how the Senior Girls Soccer team are looking?" I shrug my shoulders to seem nonchalant.
"Really good now we've recruited Lilah!" Monica smiles, gently shouldering Lilah beside her. She lightly knocks into me and my skin tingles from her touch, however brief it was. Lilah's eyes meet mine instantly and I almost think she felt it too.
"I have actually been meaning to talk to you Lilah," I turn my attention directly to her now. "Coach Lowe said you are the one to contact about tutoring? I have had a lot going on recently so I have missed a few lessons. I need someone to help me catch back up, are you interested?" I watch her reaction. Monica's eye bulge at my question.
I can tell they are all linking one another, their eyes sort of glaze over slightly. I even see Lilah's other friend giggle slightly.
"She is interested!" Monica giggled before turning to the other girl.
"I don't even know if I am doing the subject you need help with," Lilah comments.
"I need help with chemistry." I reply matter of factly. I know this is a class she takes because I have already checked her timetable.
That's real stalker-y. Jett teases. I laugh because I know its true.
"Oh, OK then. I can help you with that." Lilah replies quietly. She seems nervous. She is unlike every other girl I have been interested in.
She's special. Jett comments quickly.
"How about you give me your number and we can work out a time?" I ask her, trying to lock it in before she changes her mind.
"Sure." She smiles as I hand her my phone to type her number in. She types in her number before handing it back to me.
"Pleasure doing business with you." I wink at her. A blush instantly creeps into her cheeks. I just want to touch her freckly, rosy cheeks to know what they would feel like.
"Have you been for a swim yet?" Lilah asks innocently while gazing out at the beach.
"I was just on my way there when I ran into you." I answer, "Have you?"
"Yea, we went in earlier." Lilah responds, "It is really nice. Just the perfect temperature." She continues. My mind starts to wander, thinking about what she would look like, standing in the water as the waves wash over her in the little purple bikini she has on. I quickly change my train of thought as I feel myself getting aroused.
"Was your old pack by the beach?" I question, genuinely interested.
"Yep!" She smiles, "We used to get a good swell up on the northern beaches. It was perfect for using the longboard. My Dad taught me when I was a kid." she finished. I am impressed. I hadn't picked her as a surfer chick.
"You surf?" I try to hide the surprise in my voice. Lilah chuckles.
"Not as much as I would like, but I give it a go." She shrugged her shoulders.
"Maybe you'll have to come out with me and the guys sometimes. We like to have a go." I offer, desperately hoping she would accept.
"She would love to!" Monica answers for her. That familiar blush dons Lilah's cheeks again.
"But only if she can bring some friends!" The other girl adds.
"The more the merrier!" I cheer knowing the boys would be happy to have some girls to impress.
"Sounds good! I might have to borrow someones board though - we couldn't fit ours in when we moved." Lilah smiles, looking me in the eyes. I would stare into those green eyes all night if I could.
"Flynn!" Dan calls my name from the deck, "Beer pong! Youre up!" He continues, holding up a can of beer in his hand.
"Well, I have a game to play." I say to the girls before turning to only Lilah, "I have your number so I will let you know about tutoring." I add.
"And surfing!" Monica interrupts.
"And surfing." I laugh before heading back up the stairs.
I'm done for. I wont be able to concentrate on anything but Lilah now.
