Just Friends

Chapter 10

Lilly stood at the end of the hallway. Her long hair wet and clinging to her. She had changed into a tank top with a baggy hoodie over it and a pair of black leggings. This time, she wore underwear to avoid her butt being even more noticeable. Cameron’s face went from awe to a grin before he managed to answer her.

“I was telling Jaxon how we’ve been around each other for years and that I’m use to having a girl around.”

“You have Courtney, too. Shouldn’t be that weird with me here.”

Lilly watched the smile fall off Cameron’s face so quick she couldn’t stop the one that spread across hers. She tried to force it away and when she couldn’t, she headed for the kitchen. She went to the fridge and realized how little he had. Maybe they could order pizza tonight.

“Aaron’s back!” Jaxon cheered.

“Would you let me get in the door first?” Aaron grumbled.

Lilly went back to the living room to see Jaxon and Cameron grabbing a beer from the ripped open box. Aaron rolled his eyes, then happened to make eye contact with Lilly.

“Cameron mentioned getting something girlie. My sister always got sick from the pre-mixed coolers so I brought you a bottle of Bacardi and juice.”

Lilly’s eyes widened slightly in surprise, that was actually pretty thoughtful. She wasn’t a big drinker, especially because she was under the legal drinking age but she liked to every now and then.

“Thank you.” She smiled sweetly at Aaron.

“Uh- No problem.” He smiled back, a faint blush on his cheeks which he hid by looking away from her.

They all headed to the kitchen where they put the beer and juice in the fridge and the Bacardi in the freezer.

“I was thinking we could order pizza?” Lilly fidgeted with her fingers, her eyes jumping between each of the guys to see their reaction.

“Sounds good to me, I’m not leaving again.”

“Pizza is always a good idea.” Jaxon chimed in.

“I’ll pay if you call.” Cameron nudged Lilly’s shoulder.

“Alright.” She laughed lightly at Cameron. “What does everyone want?”

Once they all decided, she went off to her room to order 3 extra large pizzas. A pepperoni pizza, a “garbage” pizza, and sausage mushroom pizza. It came about an hour later and she had finished 2 drinks by then.

Aaron had mixed them for her and she hadn’t had an alcoholic drink that was so delicious. It was nice knowing he wasn’t the type of dude to pour a ridiculous about of alcohol into a drink to get someone smashed.

Lilly took a break from drinking while she ate, the boys all washing their food down with beer. A good chunk of the pizzas were devoured but they managed to save some for leftovers. Lilly packed it away, cleaned up, and gladly took a fresh drink from Aaron.

Over a couple more drinks, she learned Jaxon was 19 like Cameron, Aaron was 22, and Courtney was 21. The latter two is how they all got alcohol.

Jaxon was going to college for his associates in art and dreamed of being a famous graphic designer. He even had a few companies lined up for when he finished. Not all were super creative but he had the imagination and style to catch the attention of a few up and coming places.

Aaron had obtained his associates in applied science before he knew what he wanted to do and was currently going for his bachelors in business. His goal was to buy a small shop and run a tattoo parlor. She had also got to see the ink that decorated his left arm, designed and done by himself. She told him she thought he’d do well in that.

Courtney had started college at 19 and only went because her parents pushed her to go. She used it more as a cover up to party while they saw it as ‘getting her life together.’ It was also the only way to keep getting monthly money from her parents.

Lilly kept her mouth shut about Cameron and Courtney but wasn’t sure she’d be able to all night at the pace she was going. She had started to loosen up and get cozier with Cameron’s friend’s. Nothing flirty but she’d end up standing closer, sitting next to them, or playfully pushing or shoving them when they teased her.

By 1am, Lilly was hammered. She wasn’t a sloppy or slutty drunk but she did stumble a little. Twice Aaron had caught her, his arm curling around her back to prop her up. She’d be lying if she said she hadn’t leaned into him, her nostrils quickly taking in the scent of his cologne before straightening herself and apologizing when a deep blush across her cheeks.

“I think it’s time for me to go to bed.” She giggled after the second stumble.

“Aw, just a little longer?” Jaxon cooed, his eyes glossy from the alcohol in his system.

“I can’t, I’m going to really regret it. I think I have a college tour tomorrow.. Er, today?”

“I can give you a tour, I know-” Jaxon start, an arm snaking around her to pull her back to the group.

“She said she’s going to bed.”

Lilly’s head snapped toward Cameron. The other two may not have picked up on it but she could clearly make out the anger and frustration in his voice. If they left, she was going to get it.

Her panties started flooding right then and there.
