Finding My "Real" Man

Pool side

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm woken up the next morning by Kat jumping up and down in my bed. I let out a loud groan. "Girl get off!" She just keeps bouncing and singing "Get up, get up, get up! Its like 11am!" I groan again "so what?"

She smirks down at me "If you don't get up right now, I am going to Ryan and Damons without you. Then you wont know how to get there and wont get to see your new lover boy!" She laughs as I start to pull the covers back "alright, alright fine I'm up but he's not my anything Kat..."

I reluctantly get out of bed and throw my hair up into a messy bun. Kat is sitting on my bed waiting while I go wash may face and brush my teeth. She hollers down the hall "I don't know if we will be getting in the pool right away so maybe just pack your bikini and something for tonight. We can change there. Do you want me to pick for you?" I can hear the excitement in her voice at the thought.

I laugh coming back into the room. "no thanks babe. I'm a big girl I can pick my own clothes!" I walk to my closet looking for what I wanna wear. I'm talking to her as I'm packing my bag. "Are we showering there after the pool?"

"Yep! I already have everything we will need for showers, hair and makeup!" I glance back at her. "I am doing my own stuff tonight Kat. I just wanna be natural, simple me." She huffs but doesn't say anything. Once I have my bag packed I throw on a pair of cut off blue jean shorts and a white v neck t-shirt, with my white and light pink sneakers. I make my way down the hall into the livingroom where Kat is waiting not so patiently. "Finally!" she huffs at me. I smile shaking my head and follow her outside.

We walk towards my jeep. I don't spend lot of money on things like nails, makeup, hair or anything like that. All I really use my money for is rent, utilities, work and my jeep. I am very low maintenance and have a pretty good job so I was able to buy my dream car. Its a lifted black Jeep with purple accents. Anytime we go somewhere we take it. Kats car is honestly a piece of crap and she never drives it. She walks to work and she goes everywhere else with either me or Ryan so there's really no need.

We get in and head over to the guys' house. When we get there we walk up the path to the front door. Kat doesn't even bother knocking. She just goes straight in yelling "Ryan were here!"

They both walk into the room to greet us. Ryan gives me a quick side hug then goes over to Kat pulling her into him and just holding her. "Are guys gonna hang or go straight to the pool?" Ryan asks. Kat doesn't even hesitate "pool please" she says with a puppy dog face.

"Alright go change and head out. we are just gonna check and make sure we don't need anything else for tonight." Ryan says.

"Make sure there is plenty of tequila please!" Kat begs. Both guys chuckle then Damon says "you got it Kat." and turning to look at me he asks 'What are you drinking tonight gorgeous?"

"um.. do you have stuff for me to make spiked strawberry lemonade? I can make a batch for tonight..." Damon smiles at me "If I don't i'll go get it." I give him a nervous smile "thank you. let me know how much and I'll pay you back."

He leans over and kisses my cheek and whispers "anything you want gorgeous."

I cant help the blush that spreads across my face when he does that. I haven't even known this guy for 24 hours and I am already crushing hard! what is wrong with me?

The boys head out back to make sure they have everything while Kat and I head upstairs to the bathroom to change. Once we are done we head out to the back yard.

Damons' house is a good size. Its on the edge of town backed up to a large wooded area. When we walk outside though I am surprised at just how large the back yard is. It is pretty obvious he likes to entertain guests out here.

The back sliding door leads to a huge deck with a outdoor kitchen area and a bar. He has a flat screen T.V. hanging in front of the bar that he can watch while cooking or guest sitting at the bar can watch. There is a set of stairs off to the side that leads to a fire pit with bench seating on either side of it. Then right on the other side of that is a large inground pool. Off to the side is also a large grass area that has a few games set up, such as bags, spike ball and even a volleyball net. All of which has a tall wooden privacy fence around it.

It really is a beautiful setup and I am honestly curious how often he has these little parties because I could get used to this. Once I am done taking everything in I look out and see the guys setting up the loungers by the pool incase we want to tan. Kat wont she is pale as shit and burns within minutes it seems. I on the other hand love getting a good tan. We walk down and I dip my toe in the water to check the temperature. Its a really beautiful day.

Kat has this crazy strappy blue swim suit. She looks sexy as hell in it but its a little much for my taste. I have on a 2 piece. The top is strapless navy blue with stars and the bottoms are red and white stripes. I mean its independence day after all.

Kat runs and jumps on Ryans' back causing the guys to turn this way. I try to ignore them and just get straight into the pool. There is a slight chill to the water but with the sun warming my skin I don't mind at all. I miss this feeling so much! I hate winter but I am also not a fan of public pools. So I am glad to finally have a place to come hang out around the pool with friends and not have to worry about people staring. Kat screeches "Your just gonna get in without me?" I laugh "well if you would leave the poor man alone you could have already been in here with me. Thank you guys for setting everything up. If you need any help please let me know!"

Ryan smirks "I'm good but Damon might need some help later" he ducks down as Damon swings smacking the back of his head again before storming off. I whisper to Kat "what the hell was that about?" She laughs "Damon is so into you girl" I shake my head "no way" That's when Ryan snorts reminding me he is even there "Kats right Andi, he so is". Embarrassed that he was here for that I shoo him away. "Go help you friend Ryan!"

A few hours later I realize people will probably start showing up in a couple hours so I turn to Kat. "Hey I'm gonna go get cleaned up and changed and see if the guys need help with anything" She nods "alright be up soon". I get up heading to the house I have been laying out for about 30 minutes so there really isn't much need to dry off the sun took care of that.

Walking through the sliding door into the kitchen I see the guys standing there. "Hey guys were can I shower and stuff? I know the bathroom down here is just a half..." Damon nods "yeah I'll show you to my room. You can use my bathroom that way Kat can use Ryans' and hopefully it wont take as long."

I'm not sure if I should feel insulted or laugh. "You think I will take that long?" Damon shrugs "Kat said it took Y'all like two hours last night... so yeah.." I laugh at that. "Oh no, no, no that is ALL her doing. At most it will take me like 20 or 30 minutes." He gives me a look like he doesn't believe me. "Don't worry you'll see. I am not high maintenance. She is." He shakes his head. "If you say so. Come on I'll show you where my room is."

I follow him upstairs and down the hall where he holds the door open for me. With his huge body in the door frame I accidently brush against him trying to get through. I cant help but gasp slightly as I do so. I glace up and notice the small smirk on his lips. "uh... sorry about that. Your larger than I realized." I knew as soon as the words left my mouth I should have just left it at sorry. His smirk widens "you have no idea gorgeous" he says in a deep whisper. It causes me to shiver and quietly gasp again which makes him let out a deep chuckle. I blush hard knowing he actually heard that and found it amusing.

He walks over opening another door but when I don't make a move to get closer he steps back. "here is the bathroom. There are towels in the cabinet next to the shower. Do you need anything else?" I lift my bag slightly "Nope I brought my stuff. I'm good." He nods "alright we will be down stairs. If you need something holler." This time I nod "Will do. Thanks Damon." He smile "welcome gorgeous".

He turns to leave but not before I see the small grin playing at the corner of his mouth. I step into the bathroom closing the door behind me and leaning against it. I take a deep breath and mutter "what is this man doing to me?"
