Just Good Friends?

Chapter 6 - Best Friend

Bex

We all arrived back at our house, and put our boards in the shed. Mia the maid/cook/friend was waiting by the door ready to take all our towels off us for washing.

"Mia, you don't need to wait for us to hand our stuff over to you. We can easily put them in the machine ourselves" I say as I see her when I walk towards the front door.

"If I don't get these off you now, especially Joe, I'll be tripping over them in the hallways" she answers me with a mock stern glare, then winks at me.

"Thanks Mia, love you" I give her a peck on the cheek and drop my towel in to the big wheely basket she's waiting next to. Everybody does the same as they come in to the house, and there's a chorus of 'thanks Mia' 'You're a star Mia' behind me.

"Joe's planning a party tonight Mia, run whilst you still can! Why don't you take a few days off? Dad's going away, and I'm pretty sure we can manage for you to take a break"

"You are a beautiful girl Bex, if you're sure you will be ok, then I would love to, thank you. I can take my goddaughter to the beach" Mia looks so happy at the thought. She's amazing with us all, and we give her as much time off as she'll take, she thoroughly deserves it.

"Good, go and enjoy Mia. We'll see you in a few days".

"See you chicka" Joe throws his arms around Mia and pulls her in for a bear hug.

"I've only just arrived back and you're leaving me" Mike pouts at Mia and she laughs at him.

"I will see you in a few days Mike, but in the meantime, you behave yourself. I want no news of you getting in to trouble ok. And look after my babygirl" Mia points a finger at him as she turns and walks off to the laundry room.

"She's my babygirl too Mia. No harm will come to her, I promise" He says quietly, looking over at me softly. Mia looks at him, smiles and nods her head.

"I'm going for a shower. Joe, you can sort everything, this party is your call" Oscar follows me up to my room, and goes in to the bathroom to turn the shower on. My phone beeps, so I dig it out of my bag. It's my dad telling me to keep an eye on Joe, make sure he doesn't get arrested, and that he loves us and will see us on Tuesday.

"Bex, if you don't get that sexy ass in here in the next 10 seconds, you'll be in trouble " Oscar calls from the shower. I laugh, throw my phone on the bed after replying to my dad, and head in to my bathroom. The sight of Oscar standing there with the water pounding down on him, makes me a bit wet between the legs The water is pouring over his muscles, my heart is racing. I strip off and join him under the water. He wraps his arms around me, lowers his head and starts kissing my neck. Light little kisses all the way across my neck and down over my breasts. I can feel the stirrings between my legs. Oscars mouth comes back to find mine and he kisses me eagerly, I respond with just as much passion, my hands exploring every inch of his body. We are totally lost in each other.

......

When we eventually get out of the shower, I start rummaging through my clothes looking for something to wear. Oscar is just lying on the bed in all his naked handsome muscled glory, staring at me with want in his eyes.

"Stop staring at me" I say over my shoulder.

"I can't help it babe, I want you in my sight 24 hours a day. And that body makes me hot as hell, I'm getting hard just thinking of it" his eyes turn dark as he stares at me intently.

"No, get whatever you're thinking out of your mind right now. You'll have to wait, now get dressed before I lose all control of myself" I don't turn around as I know I'll end up on top of him. Instead I slide on my underwear, and pull a short black strappy top over my head, and put on tight jeans. When I turn around, Oscar is sitting on the edge of the bed wearing just his jeans, with his t-shirt in his hands. His hair is still damp, and hangs over his eyes, he looks irresistible.

"Come here babe, one more kiss before we head downstairs, please" He gives me puppy dog eyes and I can't resist. He pulled me on to his lap, and I trace my hands over his chest, and down the front of him. His muscles are hard and I feel them tense under my touch. I know he'd happily take me again, and I'd be only too willing, but we can hear the music getting louder, which means Joe will be banging on the door any minute, wanting us downstairs.

Sure enough, after a minute, and things getting really heated between us, there's a banging on the bedroom door, and Joe shouts "Get out here lovebirds, get some f*****g clothes on and join the f*****g party!"

"f**k off Joe! We'll be down when we're ready!" Oscar groans as he rests his head against my chest.

"Get out here or I'll kick the f*****g door in!"

"Alright! Happy! We're coming" I turn the lock and yank the door open staring at Joe hard.

"I hope the coming is over, but yes I'm happy. Downstairs people!" And he bounces off like an overgrown tigger from Winnie the Pooh.

"d**k!" I shout after him. When I turn around, Oscar is grinning at me, whilst putting his shoes on.

"Come on babe, let's go down before he comes back" he throws his arm around me, and we head out of the bedroom, and it locks behind us. All our bedrooms get locked during parties, we had code locks fitted when we had the place renovated, and when Mike is here, he also has his own room, but people can use any of the guest rooms if they want.

....

Me and Mike are sitting by the firepit at the end of the garden. It's so nice to have my best friend with me again. Mike's dad made him go to live with him last year after we got in to some trouble with the Trayton guys. Trayton is the school in the next town, there had been a long standing fued between our school and theirs, and that trouble had been the last straw as far as Mike's dad was concerned. Mike had made a deal with him, he could come back for his final year if he stayed away from us whilst living with him. That time had come, and it was like we'd never been apart. Nobody knew about the deal he made, he spouted some rubbish about getting in trouble with some guys, and his dad sending him back here. Oscar was cool with our friendship. Mike had been my best friend since I was 3, just the same as Nate and Joe and Oscar and Harry. We relied on each other, he understood that and jealousy didn't come in to it.

"So have you spoken to her since you got here"? I take a swig of my bottle and look at him.

"No, I don't know if she'll speak to me. She knows how important it is to me to be here, I don't know why it's come as such a surprise to her.

"Mike, people who have never seen us together before, don't get it. I mean come on, you're a male slut, I get it, it must be really difficult to understand our friendship, and that it's not more"

"Not from me not trying though eh" he nudges me with a cheeky grin and a wink. I laugh and shake my head. "Yeah I know, but you're my best mate, I'd do anything for you and I need to be here with you this year. She has to understand that".

"Do you love her"?

"What! No, no I don't.... yeah, OK yeah, maybe i do i dont know. s**t". He puts his elbows on his knees and his head in his hands.

"You're a f*****g i***t. Get your f*****g phone out and ring her. Tell her to come and stay for a bit. We've got a long weekend coming up, perfect time to meet her" I give him a hug and grab us both another beer from the cooler next to me, and pass it to him. I don't know, there's something not right about the way he's acting... its like he's keeping something from me, but we don't keep anything from each other, never have.
