give her a night
to remember, I had let that guard down. I let myself move in closer. I let
myself touch her in ways that I hadn’t dared to before. I knew it was wrong,
but my restraint was slipping.
“I’m out of
beer,” she announced. “Wanna go with me to get some more?”
“Okay,” I
agreed. I followed her to the keg where a line of our classmates were talking.
“Hey, Ally,
you want some of this?” her friend Amanda asked, offering her a bottle of
vodka.
“Ooh..yeah,”
Ally said grabbing up the bottle.
“Whoa…hold up
there Kit Kat. Are you sure that’s a good idea?” I asked reaching to take the
bottle from her. She turned at the last moment, keeping it from me.
“Of course it
is a good idea. Didn’t you tell me that this was supposed to be a night to remember?
I’m letting loose. I’m letting go. Why don’t you join me, Owen?” she began
walking away and tossed her hair over her shoulder. I sighed and followed her.
She kept walking, away from the crowds and out towards the barn in the
distance.
“Where ya
headed?” I asked catching up and falling into step beside her.
“I wanna get
away for a bit, away from all of the people. I’ve been in this barn before,
there is a hands quarters.” We reached the barn and I pulled the big doors
open. Ally was right, there was a couch and a desk and a small lamp. I turned
on the lamp as Ally plopped down on the couch, bottle in hand.
“You’re gonna
be so sick tomorrow,” I chuckled, sitting down beside her. She turned, putting
her back against the arm of the couch and her feet in my lap.
“I’ll worry
about that tomorrow,” she smiled opening the bottle and taking a swig. I
laughed as she scrunched up her face at the burn.
“Give me that,
before you hurt yourself,” I said as I took the bottle from her and took a
drink. She smiled at me, her face kind of dreamy with intoxication. It was good
to see her having fun. I had given that to her.
“I can’t wait
to get out of here. I just want to leave this whole place behind,” she said.
“No more high school drama, no more Brendon, no more curfews, no more lame
Saturdays working at the grocery store…all new stuff. I can’t wait.”
“Yeah, college
will be good,” I agreed. I did hate that she would be so far away once we left
for school. Two hours in the real world, with new things happening everyday was
enough to make anyone drift apart. I’d miss our talks.
“Are you gonna
miss me?” she asked, as if reading my mind. She looked a little shy as she
watched me. I took another drink of vodka and handed her the bottle. I watched
as she took a drink, her eyes never leaving mine.
“Of course I
am. But we’ll still talk all the time. And I’ll see you. You can’t get rid of
me that easily,” I smirked.
“Yeah,” she
smiled. We sat in silence for a few moments. Each lost in thoughts of the
future until her hiccup broke the silence. I laughed and took the bottle back.
“I think you
have had enough,” I teased.
“Owen?” she
asked. She was biting her lip. She looked hot doing that.
“Yes, Ally?”
My voice came out a little husky and I cleared my throat, trying to pull myself
together.
“Do you think
I was bad in bed?” she asked shyly. Fuck. Seriously? She wanted to talk to me
about sex? I instantly had all kinds of images going through my head…and none
of them were PG rated.
“Ally,” I said
incredulously.
“No, I’m
serious. I mean, I finally sleep with Brendon after all of this time and he
dumps me not that long after. Maybe I’m just bad at it,” she shrugged.
“You are not
bad at it. Trust me,” I said shifting in my seat, because this conversation was
making my dick twitch and I really didn’t want to embarrass myself with a
raging hard on.
“How do you
know? I might be,” she said. How would I know? God, I’d love to know. “I mean,
I never…ya know…had an orgasm with him,” she said. The alcohol was really
making her brave.
I sighed.
