I Don't Do Relationships

Ocracoke Talks

We had to drive to the end of the island we were already on which was Cape Hatteras. From there we had to drive onto a ferry and then ride on that for about 45 minutes.

I let Calvin drive the Jeep and I sat in the back with the two Evans boys since Henry was bigger and needed to sit up front. We had the top and doors off so the guys got the full beachy salt air effect. Of course when we would go around turns Chris and Scott would lean in that direction and squish me. "Okay, I'm going to switch seats with somebody very soon. Actually, Henry, I may even need to sit on your lap or something. These two are making me sick."

Chris laughed his booming laugh. "Com'mon, you're not gonna get sick! You definitely don't need to sit on Henry's lap."

Scott busted out laughing. "Maybe Henry would like that. It would be like a lap dance with some of these bumps and curves in the road."

Henry turned and looked in the back seat at the three of us and arched his eyebrow with a smirk on his face. "As fun as that sounds, do we need to switch? I don't do well with vomit."

With a tight smile I told Henry I was fine. When he turned around I elbowed Scott and Chris reached behind me and over to punch his brother's arm before he spoke. "It's nice and comfortable back here. I'll put my arm behind you so you have some more room. No more smooshing and definitely no lap dances for Henry. Better?"

I could see Scott from the corner of my eye, shaking his head as he giggled. Turning to look at him I mouthed the word, 'what?'.

He just continued to shake his head as Chris had leaned up and was saying something to Henry that I couldn't hear. Scott leaned toward my ear and whispered. "Smooth move with his arm there, that's all."

Looking up into the rear view mirror at Calvin, I saw him quirk his eyebrow at me. Raising both of mine back at him, he smiled and winked. Great, now I have Scott and Calvin making something out of nothing.

Pulling my sunglasses down from the top of my head onto my face, I tried to ignore them. We were finally in line for the ferry and hopefully would get on the next one. Henry and Chris kept their hats and their sunglasses on since we were parked and waiting with people walking around. Not having doors or windows would not be good for them if they got discovered. I decided I needed to get out for a minute.

"I have to pee." I unbuckled and began climbing over Scott. Apparently that would be the safer bet since he and Calvin were giving me looks when I was anywhere near Chris. This made Chris question me.

"Wait, you're just going to leave? What if we start moving?"

As I was walking away I answered, looking back over my shoulder at him. "It's fine. The ferry isn't even here yet and we aren't in the front of the line anyway. I've done this lots of times."

While I made my way to the bathrooms at the shopping center beside the line of cars we were waiting in, I texted Calvin.

Y/N: You better not tell them I'm texting you. What was that look for?

CALVIN: What look?

Y/N: You know what look!

CALVIN: You're imagining things and Scott has already guessed you are texting me. Hurry up and pee. Ferry just got here.

The line was too long for me to wait, so I didn't get to go. I got back to the Jeep as the line started moving ahead of us. Chris held out his hand and I hopped over him to my seat. Scott gave me a look. I knew it was because he knew I was texting Calvin. We started to move and I raised my eyebrows at Scott. He just gave me a wicked smirk. I was beginning to think my new friend and my bestie were going to try to be Cupid and I was not having it. That was a dangerous arrow.
