Second Chances

Fourth Of July

Feyre

It's finally the fourth, and we've been drinking and swimming in the river all day long. This camping trip so far has been an absolute blast since Storm and I made up. I've slept in his tent each night and last night we got a little too drunk, snuck off to his tent and had incredibly loud sex. I was so sure that I was being quiet until we returned to the camp fire and everyone started laughing at us as we took our seats. Talk about humiliation, I sat on his lap and buried my face in his chest because I couldn't handle looking anyone in the eye after that.

Quinn moved onto... Reid. What a shocker right? She apparently enjoys going after guys that I've been with. I mean with Storm it was different because she had him first, but being all over Reid right after is just obnoxious. I'm just glad she has someone keeping her busy so she can back off what we have going on. I'm a fairly confident person and always have been so other girls aren't so threatening to me which also comes from feeling confident in my relationships. I'm confident in how I feel about Storm and how he feels about me, so if she wants to try and intervene again I'm not going to bat an eye.

I've never been the jealous type, because I figure if someone wants to go after what's yours and they win, then that person was never yours to begin with. Also, if the person you're dating willingly wants to be with someone who goes after people that are off-limits... than that says a lot about the kind of person they are. When someone truly loves you and cares for you, you're all they see and there are no other options or... that's how it is for me at least.

I don't have the energy to deal with trying to convince someone to want me or to want to be with me. You can't force someone to love you or feeling something there heart doesn't. At this point in my life, almost being done with college and ready to move onto the next chapter I need to find someone who's on the same page as me. I was so hesitant with Storm at first but now I'm starting to feel like we're getting to a good spot and at some point we can make this official.

We're hanging by the water for another hour or so before heading back to camp. I end up going back to grab some snacks and drunken me thinks it's smart to do all by myself. It's a straight shot to our sight, there isn't much blocking my path. I make it to my tent and unzip the door so I can reach in to the bag of snacks that Kenz and I brought. We purposely hid them in our tent so that the guys wouldn't eat them all. I grab some Doritos and Baked Lays then zip it up.

I grab a couple waters from the case near Jack's truck and open one to take a drink of. I hear foot steps behind me and don't think much of it since there's a ton of people around. I shadow comes up behind me and I turn around to see Colt, one of Reid's friends that came with him.

"Hey" I say with a smile and can tell he's drunk "Here take some of this" I hand him a water and he drinks almost all of it.

He crushes the plastic bottle and I turn to walk off and he reaches out and grabs my arm "Wait" he says and I turn back around, making eye contact with him.

"What?" I ask feeling confused as my guard starts to go up.

He yanks me back and I almost trip over my feet, my back slams into the side of Jack's truck as I drop the chips and water I had in my hand. He cages me in, a hand on each side of me and he stares at my half naked body, because all I have on is a red bikini. His eyes trail my chest and back up to meet my eyes, he licks his lips like I'm going to his next meal.

My heart races against my chest but I feel frozen in place. Curse me for drinking so much and have a slow reaction time. He leans in and kisses me, hard and rough but it takes a moment for my brain to process anything. I finally shove him back "What the hell?!" I shout at him and he comes back for more.
