SURPRISINGLY YOURS

Prowling

Julia

We entered the party like royalty.

I had messaged Heather to tell her that we were...sort of seeing each other.

Why was no one shocked but us?

"Girl, he's so hot.."

"That's not why,-" I stopped myself, "Yeah, he's super gorgeous."

I wasn't about to tell people his truth. He trusted me with it.

"Hey!" Moose gave him a high-five and then winked at me, "And to the beautiful little lady..Welcome to the party!"

"Thanks, Moose," I smiled as Jagger held me close to him.

It wasn't like it was just a few days before.

It was like everyone knew or thought we were together so they were quick to either stare or show me a different sort of attention.

"Wanna drink?"

Jagger still had a hold of my hand as we entered the kitchen, waving at Carlene and a few other people he knew.

"Sure," I said, "I'll take a drink."

"What can you have?"

"Sugar free water?" I teased, "I can have a beer."

"One beer coming up," he smiled, "Don't go anywhere."

He left me standing at the island of someone's kitchen. It wasn't a frat house, though.

"Hey, you!" Carlene—who'd always been nice to me—smiled and nodded to Jagger, "Welcome to the party."

"Thanks,"I said, wondering what she knew about Jagger, "I usually don't like parties, though."

Carlene sighed, "Girl, I don't, either. I'm just here for the dudes."

Jagger

"Wow.." Moose said to me as he ogled my sugar.

"Back off, Moose," I snarled, "I won't tell you again."

Moose raised his hands in surrender, "She knows..."

"She knows everything."

"Damn, bro.." Moose said, "It's deep and you still haven't tapped it?"

"I don't,-" I sighed as half of the other players on our football team showed up to the party, "Never mind."

Moose shrugged me off as I left him to deal with the fellas. I wanted to make my way next to Julia again.

I watched her for a few moments with Carlene and it made me happy.

I recalled what she told me about not having many friends except for Heather and Carlene was a nice one to have around.

Looking up at me, Julia flashed me a big smile and I could have melted right then and there.

My balls hurt so bad because I wanted to explode inside of her. I felt like I knew her so well—did I?

"Hi.." I said, handing her the beer, "Did you miss me?"

Julia thanked me and nodded, "Surprisingly, yes..."

"Ha..." I shook my head, "Still playing hard to get?"

"Ace the test."

"Julia.."

"So, we're going for a walk up to the cemetery later if you two are interested," Carlene cut in unintentionally, "You game?"
