The Arrangement

Chapter 32

Mandy

The bonfire at the beach was packed with teenagers running around, some in the waters and others just lingering around.

There a lot of cute girls that I wanted to introduce to my brother tonight but once we got here the only thing he's done was sit in the sidelines like a lost puppy. I get that he has feelings for Autumn who wouldn't she's sweet and beautiful but he has to respect that she's taken and by our brother.

"Hey jay what are you up to?" I ask him , he sighs and holds up a cup that I thought was liquor it it turns out to be just coke.

I sigh and sit next to him hoping that I can release some of his sadness and turn him into the outgoing and charming Jason again.

"We've been here for at least an hour and your telling me that not a single one of these girls has your attention"

"No I just think about au-"

"Nope don't say her name because if you do then you'll think about her and then your going to get sad once again , when my twin is sad I become sad" I fake a cry , he smiles and pushes my shoulder lightly.

I can't stand when he gets this way about Autumn. Of course she's my friend and I like hanging with her a lot but I don't know what it is about her that makes these men crazy.

I'll be sure to ask for tips on that later.

"Come on she isn't even here and your still sulking over her catching you and Cassandra"

"And now she isn't talking to me she barely even looks at me M"

I was about to give him advice on how he could maybe get over her by sleeping with someone else from this party but here he goes with his thoughts again. He stares off into the distance behind my shoulder , I sigh and take a look to see Autumn looking gorgeous in her outfit.

Damn that girl and her fashion choices , I'll make sure we go shopping more. That outfit is really cute.

Xzavier holds her waist and makes his way over to us , I could see Autumn tense as she realized where he was taking her. Looking back over to Jason he stares at her with longing , I hit him upside the head so he'd break eye contact with her.

"Don't look so obvious, if Xzavier seen the look you were giving her he would not be happy"

"I'm sorry it's just... she looks amazing , I think it's her hair too it looks lighter"

"OMG! You sound like a girl right now jay get it together, act cool"

They approach and greet us , the air is tense between Jason and Autumn. Before it could escalate any quicker I walk back to the other group of hot guys I seen earlier.

Autumn

I sit down across from Jason and Xzavier takes a seat next to me. I wonder why he's sitting all alone in this little corner when the party is in full swing.

"Xzavier! Over here!" One of his friends call out to him.

"Just a minute!, kitten are you okay here with Jason"

"Yeah sure" he gives me a kiss and wonders off to the group of boys.

Now it's just me and Jason , I really wanted to go with Xzavier and I could've but I know if I said I wasn't okay sitting with Jason he'd think something was up.

I promised to keep him and Cassandra a secret which is killing me so now is the time to talk I guess.

"We need to talk" I finally say , he looks surprised but nods his head in understanding.

"I can't keep this secret from Xzavier, it's killing me I don't want to keep anything from him and before I tell him I think you should Jason"

"I don't care about that autumn what I care about is you talking to me again, I know it was fucked up what happened but you not talking to me makes me feel... I don't know... worried that you don't like me anymore"

"The reason I didn't talk to you is because it was a little awkward seeing you have sex in your car with someone it's not that I don't like you Jason because I do" I say , grabbing his hands with mine and staring him in the eyes.

I can admit I was being a butch towards him and that wasn't my intention to do so but it was hard seeing him when I could picture nothing but how he and Cassandra was getting it on.

"Are you sure you like me"

"I'm positive, come on let's enjoy the party and start over how about that"

"I'd love too" I pull him to one of the coolers and open a can of beer with a knife and quickly shoving it into his mouth.

I laugh as he drinks the whole can and throws it down onto the sand , he looked like he was probably drowning at first because I caught him off guard but then he loosened up and downed it.

"Your turn"

"I don't drink" I lie , I have drunk once or twice but never as much as any teenager here.

"Just one"

I nod and get ready for the flow of the beer to enter my mouth as he stabbed it with the knife and handed it to me. I usually don't drink beer because of how disgusting it taste but tonight is all about having fun and so far I've had the most fun.

"You didn't beat my record" he teases and opens another beer the correct way this time.

"Well I'll just keep trying until I do"

"Is that a challenge Autumn" he smiles mischievous at me , I return it while grabbing another beer and downing it in record timing.

"So it is what are you going to do about it Mr.Black" I giggle as he holds his heart faking to be hurt.

"Your so on"

We grab beer after beer downing the whole cooler and laughing our asses off at each other ,I start to feel light headed but strangely good at the same time. It's blurry but I still can see bits and pieces of things around me.

God I've never drunken so much in my entire life.

"A-autumnnnnnnn!" I hear Jason slur , he's clearly as drunk as I am.

"Yesssssss j-Jason"

"I love you"

"Aww I love you too" we were holding each other up while we walked along the beach.

"Like real-really love you" I giggle and slap his arm.

The next thing I know Jason's lips smash into mine but I don't fight back , a voice in my head is telling me this is wrong and I should pull back but my body won't allow me. My mouth begins to kiss back with just as much hunger as Jason and I want to kill myself on how good it felt to have his lips on mine.

They weren't nothing compared to Xzavier's lips but they were nice.

"Jason what the fuck!" I hear Xzavier scream, I turn around and look at him. His face is full of confusion and anger.

"Oops" was the last words I said before I drifted off into darkness.
