Chapter 7 Part 2-Sawyer

"Sawyer" Brady calls out to me, and I lazily look up at him from my float on the lake.

"Yeah" I shout back.

"Your timer is going off on your phone. What did you set it for?" He asks me.

"To remember to reapply sunscreen." I shout back. "Can you swim it out to me?"

Brady nods and starts rummaging threw my bag.

"I love this float" Jess coos and I agree with her.

"Rosa found it at Costco. She bought three in case we pop it." I laugh.

"She knows us too well" Reece jokes.

The float is called the party Island. It has 6 seats in a circle with a whole in the middle to keep your feet in the water, and cup holders between each seat. We have the float tethered to the boat so we won't float off too far.

"Is there something going on between you and Trevor?" Amber asks and I ignore her.

"He is acting really different toward you?" Reece says.

"Yeah, and what he said to you last night.."Jess adds in and a slap her leg to shut her up.

"What did he say to you last night?" Reece asks me.

"Nothing," I bark.

"She doesn't want to talk to you about it in front of me." Amber sneers.

"God, it has nothing to do with you. Trevor called me out on some shit. It didn't settle well with me, we had some words, and we are moving forward." I say matter of factly.

"Vague much?" Amber accuses.

"Why are you even here?" I ask her. "Derek is on the boat, why don't you go swim off and make sure he isn't grinding on one of the lake rats from the boat docked next to us. It sounds like it's getting rowdy over there."

"I can't believe you aren't over there pathetically throwing yourself over Trevor making sure he isn't getting any action." Amber retorts.

"Trevor is a grown man, he can do whoever and whatever he wants." I say nonchalantly. Jess drops her jaw and stares at me.

"Who are you and what did you do with my best friend?" She asks putting her hand on my forehead.

"It must have been some conversation if this is your mindset today." Reece says.

"I don't know.... I'm suspish....You have your "laid back, relaxed, I've just been throughly laid' attitude today. Did you hook up with someone last night?" Jess asks eyeing me, then cups her mouth, realizing we are in Amber's company and probably assuming it was Derek.

"I hooked up with B.O.B. last night." I say and feel the back of my float dip and water starting to drip on my head. I look over my head and see Trevor.

"Who is Bob?" Trevor asks.

"Bob stands for Battery Operated Boyfriend." I answer him sweetly. He dips back into the water then pops up in the center where our legs are.

"And what about Bob?" He asks as he pulls himself up into the seat beside me.

"Such a funny movie." Jess snorts, trying to change the subject.

"Jess asked me why I am acting sated today like I have been thoroughly laid, and I told her it was because I hooked up with Bob last night." I tell him matter of factly.

"And you are not embarrassed to be discussing masturbation with your girlfriends, or with me?" Trevor asks.

"Nope, would you like to talk about how you masturbate?" I ask him.

"I am afraid I am not as cheeky as you are. Here, Sunblock." He says handing me the spray.

"But you do masturbate, don't you?" I ask him, baiting him.

"Yes, I masturbate." He answers me, and Jess chokes.

"And when you masturbate, have you ever thought of me?" I ask him seductively. A huge smile spreads across Trevors face and he starts to blush. He shakes his head no.

"Oh, that's too bad, because I always think about you." I say, taunting him.

"Sawyer" he growls in warning, only this time I have a better understanding of what that growl really means. "Sit up, I'll spray your back." He barks pretending to be mad. I do as he says and he applies sunblock to my back and hands me the can. I finish covering myself with sunblock. I hand him the can back.

"You need to behave." Trevor warns and I scrunch up my face in defiance.

"I am behaving, if I were misbehaving I would show you how I hook up with B.O.B while thinking of you."

"Touche' " Trevors admits then dips back into the water.

When he is almost back to the boat, Jess squeals.

"See....He is acting different, more tolerant. He would have usually dunked you to shut you up, or stormed off grumbling about how incredibly inappropriate you are."

"He can't dunk me if I'm reapplying sunscreen, I have to be dry to put it on, and he couldn't dunk me after because it has to dry before I get wet." I answer smugly.

"The way he was smoldering at you made me wet." Jess confesses, and Reece smacks her.

"I don't know why you two are so crass" Reece says, and I splash her with my foot.

"I don't understand why you act so prudish." I say back.

"I'm not a prude, I'm just not as open about my sexuality as you two." She admits with a sigh.

"Yet" Jess and I sing out together.

"Shit, all the guys are coming over here" Jess warns.

"Hey Sawyer, who is Bob?" Derek teases as they get closer to us.

"We heard you girls were talking about Vibrators, and had to come hear what this is about. Except you Sawyer, you keep your fucking mouth shut." Brady teases. Swimming under the float Brady grabs Jess' legs and yanks her into the lake. She screams and the rest of us scurry to straddle the side of the float, I feel a hard yank on my middle and realize too late that Trevor was waiting on the other side to pull me in. It is an all out attack, and before we know it the guys have taken over the float and we are all left bobbing in the water.
