It was warm out. Like, go to the lake warm. And it was already 8:30.
We were surrounded by trees so tall they almost blocked the sky. Every now and then I got a peek at the full moon and wished I was back home.
The road was smooth thankfully. It made it easier for Riviera and I to walk on it.
"Damnit", I said. Riviera laughed.
I snorted lightly. Humor mixed with disgust.
"That car. That dumb car."
She didn't say anything. She had wanted to bring her car but I said no. I wanted to be able to leave in case she found someone to hookup with and I didn't.
We weren't that far from the party so it didn't really matter.
There was a car rounding the corner with a few guys in it. As they got closer the car slowed and stopped. One of them had thick black hair. We could have been siblings. Thank God we weren't. He's freakin hot.
He looked at me and said "Hi, I'm Charlie. You headed to the soiree?"
Who even talks like that? I dug it.
Riviera nudged me hard enough that it was obvious. I blushed. For being so damn shy she sure wasn't shy about putting my ass out there.
"Yes," I said, "we could use a ride of there's room."
"There's always room" Charlie replied.
I looked at Riviera who had been eyeing another guy in the car. He had shoulder length blonde hair. Flips at the end like he just got back from the beach. The tan on his skin solidified my assumption. He was damn hot though he looked a little tall for my liking.
She finally pulled her eyes away and smiled. I saw the blush creep up her cheeks.
I rolled my eyes. 25 and she still blushes.
I grabbed her hand and we jumped in.
The car was nice. Suede interior. It felt like silk against my legs. I had worn my shortest shorts, sans panties. I could almost feel it along my lips. Mmmm, nice.
I could smell pot. Good pot. Not the kind Riviera and I would get.
Beach Boy handed me a joint. I took a long deep inhale keeping my eyes shut. I held it in and as I let it out I opened my eyes watching the smoke engulf the car. Mmmmmm. This was good. This was gonna be a good night.
