Sprinkled With Love

Chapter Five: End of Summer pt. 2

    I parked in back of the bakery by 12:15 and went in to the kitchen through the door. I started grabbing the platter trays of cookies and walking back out multiple times to put everything in. I wanted to wait until Morgan got here before I filled the cooler with ice. I had just climbed up into the bed of the truck and bent over to open the cooler when I heard another vehicle drive up. Popping up I looked over to see Morgans truck park next to mine and I waved. He smiled getting out and I thought I was gonna fall out of the truck bed, he looked so hot in his tank top and swim trunks. His tattoos covered his arms and I almost drooled, I had no idea he had them. He tilted his hat hello and passed me a case of coke and a bottle of whiskey to put in the cooler. "Howdy cowboy," I said in a flirty tone. 

    "Howdy to you," he looked at my boots then slowly up my legs before making it to my face and he smiled again.

    "Can you go get a back of ice from inside the freezer please?" I asked so that way I didn't have to climb in and out of the bed of the truck.

    "Sure." he walked into the back of the shop and came out a minute later with 2 bags. He handed them to me one at a time and I dumped them into the cooler. After situating the ice and drinks so I could close the lid I clapped my hands and went to get down. Morgan stood with his arms out and I slid down his body looking into his face the whole time trying to figure out what he was thinking. He sat me down on my feet after holding me close for a minute, It was practically a really long hug. Squeezing his hand before I walked away to lock the shop back up and returned to the truck. By the time I got back Morgan was throwing his back pack into the back seat.

    "Ready to go?" I said and got climbed up in the the drivers seat and Morgan followed suit by climbing into the passenger seat. 

    "Yes I am." He smiled and buckled up. It took us 20 minutes to get to the lake that sat on the other side of town from where the shop is. When we pulled up people were already there setting up and I saw Tommy with his wife and the rest of their family. I pulled in next to his SUV and parked. Morgan and I climbed out of the trunk and said hello to every one before getting the stuff out of the bed to set up. Morgan and I had the stuff I brought set up within 15 minutes and drinks in our hands with in 16. I left Morgan stand by our set up talking to Tommy while I walked around and said hi to everyone else who started joining in our BBQ after we showed up. The day went on and I didn't spend as much time with Morgan as I would like to have in order to get to know him more but I was having fun so I left it at that. Around 3 I stripped my shirt and shorts off and sprinted toward the water running off the dock and diving into to the lake. When I popped back above the water Morgan was standing on the dock staring at me. I smiled and swam away looking back only a second to see him peeling the tank top off and laying it on the dock. He jumped in a second later and made it to me. 

    "How'd you know it was me in the water?" I asked.

    "All I saw was a pink blur sprinting and when you got to the dock you paused and I noticed your red hair so I made my way over to hang out with you." He smiled and laid on his back to float so I did the same closing my eyes and enjoying the sun and water. "Also Tommy told me to tell you the food was almost ready".

    I turned over and splashed him then swam away going out into the lake a little more. I have spent my entire life out on this lake, swimming, jet skis, boating, fishing, and wake boarding. Besides my home and shop this was one of the only other places I felt safe. Morgan swam up behind me and grabbed my waist turning me too him. I placed my hands on his arms and felt his muscles twitch beneath them. I climbed around him and held onto his back pressing my body to him as he swam towards the dock. He climbed out first then reached down and plucked me out of the water like I weighed nothing. We walked back to the party talking the whole way there. I learned a few new things about him and it only made me like him that much more. I got dressed back in my shorts but left them un buttoned and left my shirt off. I made my way over to where the food was being served and got in the line. Piling my plate high I went back to my pop up and sat my food on the table. I grabbed a beer and got to eating, after 5 minutes Morgan finally joined me repeating the same process I did. We talked and ate and drank the beer. Soon music started playing and I got up to dance. I spotted Jane in the middle of all the trucks and cars dancing to the music so I joined her. Many of the older adults gathered around Tommy and were starting there own fun. I was dancing up next to Jane and one of our favorite songs came on. At the chorus of the song Jane bent over and was grinding against me while I had one hand up and one hand on her waist singing along to Save a horse, ride a cowboy. When I finally opened my eyes after belting the lyrics and turned around to do the same to Jane I caught Morgan looking at me and he leaned back on his heals while drinking his beer but I swear I could see his smile curl up behind it. I bent over at the waist and grinded against Jane and when I came up. My hair flipped up and I stared straight at him as he sat his beer down, I want to say he walked his way over but it was more of a stalk, because as soon as he got to me he had his hand on my waist and began a slow but s****l dance with me as soon as the music changed.
