37 || The fling

On Saturday I headed over to Carter's house. He said his mom and sisters were out for some bonding time so we'd have the whole house to ourselves.

When I got there I was about to knock then paused.

For some reason I checked under the welcome rug and lo and behold there was a key.

Wow. Just wow.

I stuck the key in the lock and opened the door. Loud music was blasting from upstairs.

Slowly I crept up the steps, planning to scare him. His room door was ajar and I peeked inside.

Carter was shirtless and appeared to be folding clothes on his bed. I stood and admired him for a minute.

Even staring at his backside I could see his well defined muscles. His hair was disheveled, and I could only describe it as sex head.

God my boyfriend is so hot. I am such a lucky bitch.

I tiptoed in and he still didn't turn. My nose was nearly touching his back and he still continued to hum along with the music.

When he finally did turn to face me I pushed him backwards onto the bed and straddled him.

"Hey," I smiled.

He smirked up at me and I narrowed my eyes.

"How long did you know I was there?"

"Awhile."

I held up the key. "Really? You put a key under your welcome mat? Not only is that super cliche it's also really dangerous."

He shrugs. "Most people are too stupid to notice the obvious."

"Except me."

"Actually you're one of those people. You only found the key by pure luck."

"Ugh," I moved to get off him but he gripped my thighs and slid his hands up them. I bit my lip.

"Not so fast. I rather like this position."

"That's because you're a pervert."

"Says the one who stood peeping through my doorway for like five minutes eye raping me."

"I was not!" I exclaim, a blush rising in my cheeks. "Why is your music so loud anyway?"

He grins. "You're real good at that. Changing the subject when you're embarrassed."

I scowl down at him. "I hate you."

"No you don't," he draws out and pulls me down to kiss me. For a fleeting second I think of pulling away but as soon his lips touch mine the idea all but disappears from my brain.

Kissing Carter before was great. Kissing him now that he was my boyfriend was amazing.

We spent like, ninety percent of the time making out. I mean we talked and stuff too, and he still got on my nerves, but I secretly had making out with Carter on my list of things I liked to do. Rank: #1.

His hands slipped under my shirt and skimmed along my bare back. I pressed my thighs tighter against him and ran my hands up his chest. His lips left mine and started to trail down my neck.

The doorbell rang. We ignored it and kept kissing. It rang again this time incessantly.

Carter pulled back annoyed and it took all my strength not to drag his lips back to mine.

"I thought your mom was going to be gone the entire day?" I asked.

"She is." I reluctantly untangled myself from him and got off the bed and he followed putting his shirt back on to my great disappointment.

"Then who is it?" I trailed him to the door.

"I guess we'll find out," he glanced through the peephole.

"Holy shit."

"What? What is it?" I grabbed his shoulder as he swung the door open.

"Felix?!"

"Carter!" The guy said jauntily. "Long time no see mate."

Why were all British guys so hot? I mean no one was sexier than Carter but Felix came in a close second. He had ash brown hair and aqua blue eyes. He was tall and well built, with his face in between baby and masculine.

"What are you doing here?" Carter asked shocked.

"Can't I see an old friend? School isn't the same without you."

Yeah, I bet.

A grin overtook Carter features. They did this really complicated handshake thingy and immediately started talking.

I stood fascinated for a minute. Carter and this Felix guy seemed real close. They must've been friends back when he lived in England.

Meaning he probably knew a lot about Carter.

A lot.

I cleared my throat and they both turned to me.

Felix grinned. "And who is this lovely lady?"

"I'm Aubrey," I held out my hand to shake and he gripped it firmly.

"If I knew there were pretty girls like you here I would've came sooner." He didn't say it in a creepy way, but more teasingly and I decided I liked him. Plus he called me pretty. Why wouldn't I like him?

I heard Carter sigh behind me. "Must you flirt with every girl you meet?"

Felix laughed. "Jealous?"

"No I just don't want Aubrey to catch any STD's."

Felix laughed again. "I'll have you know I haven't slept with a girl in at least three days, so....since I left England. That's a record for me."

My eyes widened. Holy hell, he put the p in player.

"So are you gonna invite me in or am I gonna stand out here all day?" Felix asked.

Carter stepped aside so he could get in and closed the door. We went into the living room and sat on the couch, Felix plopping down on the one across from us.

"So Felix," I started. "How long have you and Carter known each other?"

"Since we were young tots," he replied. "You wouldn't believe the trouble we got into. The Carter you're seeing now is definitely not the same one from England."

"I'd love to hear a story," I lean forward smiling.

"Maybe another time," Carter tries to interrupt but I brush him off.

"Please. Go on."

"Well one time," Felix starts. "We snuck out to a pub. Mind you were underage, I'd say about sixteen but we managed to get fake ID's."

So Carter had previous experience getting false identification. I glanced at him and he rolled his eyes.

Felix smiled remembering. "Of course there were the usual drunk men but man were there a handful of hot girls. Well not girls. Women. In skimpy little outfits. We started drinking and flirting with them."

"So they were cougars?"

"They didn't know we were underage," Felix corrected me. "And we didn't care. Hooking up with someone older would get us major cred. Carter had his eye set on this particular sexy vixen. Man I remember her clearly. Long dark hair, curves, and full breasts-"

"Do you need to get so graphic?" Carter asked.

"Sorry," Felix says sounding anything but unapologetic. "Anyway he had his eye on her. But she was with someone. Guy treated her like shit. Cussed at her and pushed her around. We went to the bar next to them and ordered drinks. Carter started flirting with her and eventually they went out onto the floor to dance. The guy she was with was so busy being a douche he didn't even notice."

I was leaning so far forward I practically fell off the couch.

"You should've seen them on the dance floor. I swear they were about to get it on then and there. Finally the guy notices she's missing and sees her dry humping Carter. He's pissed and bam, we have a bar brawl on our hands."

My mouth drops open. "Carter got into a bar brawl?"

"I'm right here," Carter speaks looking highly irritated.

"Yep," Felix nods. "And he beat the crap out of him too. They guy was at least twenty five and got pummeled by a sixteen year old. He was getting beat so badly his gang got involved and jumped Carter. So I had to help of course. We got kicked out and they found out we were underage. To say our parents were pissed would be an understatement. My mom nearly killed me."

I can't believe Carter got into such a serious fight. I glance at him and he looks uncomfortable. I turn back to Felix.

"So do you know why Carter was expelled?"

Felix opens his mouth but Carter cuts him off. "I think that's enough story time."

I resist the urge to stomp my foot like a child. Was it that bad?

I make a mental note to interrogate Felix later. There's so much I don't know about Carter.

"So how about you two be good hosts and show me around," Felix stands and Carter is quick to follow. He's too eager to get out of this conversation and that only piques my curiosity more. I push it aside for now but I will be questioning him later.

I suggest heading down to the beach since that's one of our main attraction besides the boardwalk. On the way I text the girls in our group chat.

Me: meet @ the beach rn

Chanel: why? What's wrong?

Ivy: are you in trouble?

Nikole: do I need to kick someone's ass?

Me: nothing, no, and no. Just meet me there ok?

Since its Saturday the beach is pretty packed, but not as packed as it is during the summer when all the tourists start flocking in.

I spot the girls and wave them over. They approach but slow as they spot Felix next to Carter.

"Hey Aubrey," Nikole speaks first. "Hey Carter."

"Hey," he nods at her.

"These are my friends," I introduce them to Felix. "Guys this is Felix, Carter's friend from England."

Everyone shakes hands and greets him. When he gets to Ivy and holds out his hand she's frozen.

"Ivy," Chanel nudges her.

She snaps out of it and blushes. "Sorry," she shakes his hand and he grins.

"Ivy? Like poison Ivy?"

"My Mom had just gotten a rash from poison Ivy when she went into labor," Ivy admits.

"I wouldn't mind getting poisoned by you," he smirks and her face turns even more red. Because she's so pale she resembles a lobster.

Nikole, Chanel, and I all look at each other.

Ryan and Trevor come jogging down then beach toward us. There are more introductions before the guys split talking about whatever guys talk about. As soon as they're gone Chanel whips toward Ivy.

"He's the one!" She squeals.

"What?" Ivy asks.

"Felix! He's your fling!"

"No way," she shakes her head.

"Oh come on," Nikole scoffs. "The chemistry between you was so obvious. And he totally flirted with you. Not to mention he's hot and since he's visiting he won't be here for long. Felix is perfect for your first fling."

"Well I can't just walk up to him and announce I wanna sleep with him!" Ivy exclaims.

"Actually you can," I say. "And adding on to what Nikole said about him being perfect, he really is. Felix is a total player so you'll know for sure it's no strings attached."

"I don't know if I can do this after all," Ivy bites her lip.

"No no no," Chanel repeats. "You are not backing out now."

"No one is saying you have to walk up to him and start ripping clothes off," I assure her. "You can work up to it."

"Yeah," Nikole adds. "Start by asking him to hang out while he's here. Matter of fact we have to find out how long he's here for."

"I'll ask Carter."

Nikole nods. "Great. The plan is is motion. Operation get Ivy to have her first fling is in full effect."

"Why did I make that stupid resolution," Ivy mutters.

"You don't have to sleep with him Ivy," I remind her. "Go as far as you're comfortable with."

She nods seeming reassured by this.

"Speaking of resolutions how far along are you with yours?" Chanel wiggles her eyebrows at Nikole.

"We're getting there."

"What the hell does that mean?"

"It means," Nikole smiles secretly. "You'll know when you know."

😘😘😘

Felix is set to leave in a week. So that means we have a week to get Ivy some action so finally she can join the non lip virgin club.

"Do you think maybe I'm too dressed up for a casual hangout?" Ivy asked chewing her lip.

I fluffed her curls. "Of course not. Your hair is just naturally this curly and your face is just naturally that flawless and your clothes are just normally this hot."

Nikole finishes dusting on her eyeshadow. "There. All done."

We went light on her makeup as not to be too obvious. Her hair was in bouncy curls and she had on sky blue ripped skinny jeans with a white v neck.

"You look like a Tumblr model," Chanel takes her lollipop out of her mouth. "I'm jealous."

"I'm nervous," Ivy twists her hands.

"It'll be fine," I reassure her.

"Wait," Nikole pulls up her shirt a little so a tiny sliver of her stomach is showing. "There. A little tease never hurt anyone."

"Go get em tiger," I give Ivy a little push toward the front door.

Felix and Ivy were meeting at the beach then going out to eat. Somewhere causal. After all it was just a hangout. The girls and I had set everything up. When Carter and I had gotten back to his house Felix had expressed an interest in Ivy. Carter was his usual pessimistic self but I quickly jumped on the opportunity to set them up. I told him that if he wanted I could set him and Ivy up. She was single and not looking for anything serious.

And now here we were.

"We'll be waiting," Nikole winked.

After Ivy left we went up to her room to wait.

"How do you think it's going?" Chanel asked.

"It's been five minutes since she left," I deadpanned. "I doubt she's reached the beach yet."

"I know I just hate waiting."

"Well it might be a while," Nikole said without glancing up from her phone. "So get comfortable."

I laid across Ivy's bed and closed my eyes. I was taking a nap.

💘💘💘

My eyes flew open at the sound of a door slamming closed. Nikole and Chanel had gotten on the bed with me and they woke up as well.

"Whas tha?" Chanel asked sleepily. "What time is it?"

Before any of us could respond Ivy's room door burst open. In the dim lighting of the room Ivy glowed brightly from the doorway, like an angel appearing.

"Woah Ivy tone it down," Nikole covered her eyes.

"I just had the best day ever!" She exclaimed.

We all scrambled off the bed and crowded around her, firing questions out like rockets.

"So what happened?"

"Did you kiss?"

"How far did you guys go?"

She closed the door and turned to us, an unremovable smile on her face.

"I don't even know where to start."

"Start at the part where you left the house and got to the beach," I said.

"Well when I got there he was already waiting. He looked so cute in this pale blue tank top and khaki shorts. He said he was trying to look like a California boy."

"Wow," Nikole laughed.

"I know. Then he said I looked beautiful," Ivy blushed.

"Oooohh!" We all chorused shooting her sly looks.

"I was really nervous but there's something about him, I don't know he just makes it so easy to be relaxed. We just walked down the beach for a while and he bought me ice cream. And then-"

"And then what?" Chanel asked eagerly.

"I guess I got a little ice cream on my lip and he wiped it off! With his own hand!"

We all squealed.

"Omg that's like something out of a movie!" I gushed.

Ivy plays with her hair. "He was so freaking close I could smell him. He smelled like old spice and cinnamon. I never thought I'd like the smell of cinnamon until then. We decided to skip going to lunch and just stay at the beach. The weather was perfect anyway. And he's never been to the beach either. Everything fascinated him. I suggested we build a sand castle and he was so excited."

"Like a little kid," Nikole laughed.

"Then after we just talked some more he asked if it was ok. And I was like is what ok. And he said just say yes. So I said yes and he kissed me!"

At this we all started jumping up and down screaming.

"Was there tongue?" I had to ask.

Ivy covers her face blushing. Nikole grins.

"Oh there was definitely tongue."

I kept asking questions. "Did anything else happen? Did you guys go any father?"

Ivy bites her lip. "I let him feel me up."

"Feel you up? Feel you up how? Like second base feel up?"

She nods. "Kind of. I mean clothes stayed on."

Chanel starts singing. "Ivy and Felix sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes lust, then comes sexting, then comes Ivy and Felix fuc-"

"Shush!" Ivy lunges at Chanel and she laughs darting away.

Nikole crosses her arms. "Yeah Chanel. No one is losing their virginity before me," she squints at the three of us.

I hold out my hand to Ivy. "Hand it over."

"Hand what over?" Her brow furrows.

"Your lip virginity card."

She slaps my outstretched hand. "There."

I pretend to fling it out the window. Ivy still has a goofy smile on her face and we're all happy for her. Then Chanel speaks again.

"Are we like, boy crazy?"

We all look at each other.

"Just a little."

Congrats Ivy, you're no longer a lip virgin!💋 how does it feel😂
