Fuck, I was so in love. He looked delicious. All I wanted to do was lick the water off his chest, but the shrieking girls watching us pulled me out of my fantasy.
I shook my head, trying to snap myself out of my yearning, and remembered that the big asshole had just thrown me, fully clothed, into a jacuzzi.
“You dick!” I reached into my pockets and thanked God that my phone was still sitting on the counter where I’d left it, but my wallet and all of my IDs and money were drenched. “My fucking money is soaked! I’m gonna kill you!”
I lunged forward and pulled him into a headlock. I was actually pissed because nobody on this team had to worry about money like I did. Nobody, except for me, had a part-time job, and I actually had to use my own money to support my life. It wasn’t just spare cash to buy useless bullshit. “I have to work for my fucking money,” I bellowed.
Theo wrapped his big arms around my waist and pulled meunder the water with him. We started wrestling, and he quickly got the best of me.
“Your money will dry, dude! Chill,” he screamed through gasps of laughter.
Our wrestling turned playful, and soon I was cackling too. I didn’t even care that I was wet anymore. I was just so happy to be his friend. He tossed me about the Jacuzzi, the water spilling out in heaps and soaking the patio around us.
“That’s fucking hot,” one of the girls called out.
“Hockey boys wrestling in the hot tub,” another yelled in the direction of the house.
Soon, a bunch of girls started running onto the patio, chanting, “Get naked, Asher! Get naked!”
Oh no. Fuck, fuck, fuck.
That wasn’t good. I stopped tussling with Theo and attempted to climb out of the jacuzzi, but he pulled me back in.
“Get naked with me, fucker! Emily wants to make out with you,” Theo yelled.
The last thing I wanted to do was kiss a girl. I’d spent all of high school avoiding the girls who’d made it very clear that they were interested. We weren’t kids anymore, and I dreaded the idea of getting myself into a situation where I’d be expected to hook up but couldn’t. That was a fate worse than death as far as I was concerned. Everyone would know about me then.
“Theo, you and Asher should make out!”
Who the fuck said that? No! No! No!
“Oh my God, that would be so fucking hot,” someone else squealed.
Terror consumed me. I shook my head and hollered, “No. Absolutely not.”
The girls sitting on the Jacuzzi booed, then one draped her arm over the other with a lascivious look in her eyes and said, “We’ll make out if you two do.”
The girls around them werescreamingnow. The chanting for Theo and me to make out grew deafening.
“Seriously? You’ll really kiss if we do?” Theo asked.
What? No! No, Theo! Don’t do this to me!
The girls looked at each other, their mouths curved into wicked smiles, and kissed.
“That was just a preview,” the one said. “You two first.”
Before I could protest, Theo grabbed the sides of my head and pulled me in for a kiss.
Oh my God. No, this can’t be happening…
It’s happening…
It’sfinallyhappening.
I couldn’t stop myself. There was a salty aftertaste from the chlorine of the Jacuzzi as I sucked on his luscious lips. His big body enveloped me, one arm wrapping about my waist while another cupped the back of my head. Without thinking, I wrapped my arms around his shoulders.
“Fuck! That is so hot.”
