CHAPTER 46: Aloha?

LIAM

After passing by LA, John B and I meet up with Tommy and JJ in Hawaii where we are spending the rest of our spring break.

They were in New Orleans when John B played his roommate emergency card. It's a no—questions asked 911 that we created when we almost had our Project X type of night.

Life really hits you when you're in a cell with a raging hangover as JJ hurls his guts into a metal toilet while Tommy checks John B's pulse to see if he is still alive or at least with a moving pulse.

That's when we decided to get our own place and separate ourselves from the pack because college was getting the best of us all and we needed some responsibility. We were riding the spoiled rich kids wave too much.

"I love Hawaiian girls," Tommy is holding a video camera as we walk into a beach club near our resort.

"I need a shot." I tap John B's shoulder and he follows me to the bar.

We can't find the girls anywhere so we split up after shot number 7 and almost immediately I spot America dancing with Jessica on a table by the beach as they drink from pineapples.

I'm about to walk to them but pause when I spot Odessa, my Odessa in a black sheer skirt that matches her bikini top. Her hair is a light brunette color with the front strands dyed a gold brown similar to blonde.

She turns around to reveal her exposed back and birthmark that looks more like a tattoo at night. I'm smiling like an idiot and probably look like a stalker as I watch her dance with her friends.

I have resumed walking till a hand wraps around Vecker's lower waist. A man with a buzz cut pulls her towards him by the hips, I expect her to be mad but her smile widens as he hands her a pineapple drink.

Here goes another 'what the fuck' moment. 

ODESSA

"John B?" Jessica is the first to spot them.

America follows her line of sight to where John B, Liam and JJ are staring at us from across the floor.

"Oh my God!"

America jumps down and runs to John B who opens his arms and picks her up. It's a romantic scene as he spins her around and her face splits into a huge smile.

"Oh my God," I repeat in a less ecstatic tone.

After helping Jessica down, we follow America to where Liam's eyes don't leave mine. I hate how I check him out and how good he looks good with a fresh tan.

"Guys look, they're here for the week." America is drunk and excited, something I wish I was right now.

I just wanted one week.

"Ladies, happy spring break." JJ picks me up before giving Jess a hug. "Hey man, I'm Jonathan," his smile disappears when he greets Cassie.

"Chase," Cassie shakes his hand.

After hearing about my eventful semester, my best friend cancelled his plans and joined us in Hawaii to help me get over Liam— who is still staring at me.

"Chase? As in Cassie?" Liam is the one to chime in.

"Right," I remember my job as the mutual pupil here. "Cas, this is Liam and that's John B." I point between our little circle.

"Nice to meet you, I've heard a lot." Cassie is smirking as John B kisses America's cheek.

"Yeah you too, Vecker can we talk?" Liam pushes his hands into his shorts and I nod.
