Chapter 4

I went upstairs and called Bailey. I informed her about the party and told her she had to come to my house and get ready. I jumped in the shower and before I knew it Bailey was coming up my stairs. “Oh My God Cali, tall drink of water is down stairs shirtless.” “Yep, I know, he has been like that all afternoon.” She just shook her head, “And you get to see that all the time now, ha, ha you are one lucky girl.” “He drives me crazy,” I said, quickly turning all thoughts towards Ivan. “O.K. I said, I need you to doll me up for Ivan. What should I wear?” We looked in my closet and she pulled out a black wrap dress. I put it on and was shocked that it was a little loose on me.

“Have you lost weight, asked Bailey?” “Well, you see that’s part of my plan,” I said, smiling. “What do you mean Bailey asked?” “I am working out every day. My goal is to lose 10 pounds this summer and tone up my body.” I left my little secret ab part out. “Well looks like you have managed to lose a little bit. This dress is already a little loose on you.” I took the dress off and she picked out a pair of jeans with an off the shoulder tight, black and white striped Lycra tank top. “Damn Cali, this makes your already large boobs look even bigger.” She was right, and I could see that my plan was already working. My body was starting to take shape. Bailey flat ironed my hair and applied my make-up. She was the most put together girl at our school. I trusted her abilities. “Cali, If Ivan does not notice you in this, then he is just plain stupid!” I smiled and could not help but agree.

By the time we got downstairs the party was in full swing. I have to admit my brother and Caleb did a good job setting up for this party. No sign of Ivan yet but Bailey and I made our way outside where a make-shift bar was set up. Cory was playing bartender. “Damn Cali, looking hot,” Cory said, as he looked at my tits. Bailey knocked his head. “What?” he said, playing dumb. “You know WHAT,” she said. I just smiled because even though he was a perv I secretly took it as a compliment. “Let me guess, 2 rum and cokes,” he said? “You know us so well,” Bailey said.

“Vodka cranberry,” yelled Caleb from behind us. I turned around to look at him and if I did not know any better I would think he flinched.  I turned back around and no sooner did I feel his hot breath make its way up my neck up to my ear and a faint whisper came out of his mouth, “Ummm, Cali? ” “What,” I said harshly.  I turned around again to look at him straight in his gorgeous face. “Cat got your tongue I asked?” And with that I pulled Baileys arm and kept walking. “Cali, I think he was trying to say something to you. You were a little rude.”  “Maybe I was, but the odds were that he was going to be a smart ass, and plus I am still not over the fact that he hasn’t talked to me in 3 years and now suddenly cause he is living at our house I exist.” “Exactly,” Bailey said, he realizes you exist because you are smoking HOT!  

Just then my brother walked out towards us. “Hey guys,” he said, looking at me questionably. “Hmm,” he said. What, I said?  “That’s kind of a risqué top, don’t you think Cali?” Skylar, I can’t help it if my boobs are huge. “Whatever, I am not telling you what you can or can’t wear, I am just saying.” Thanks big brother now run along and look for a flavor of the month. He laughed and headed to the bar. It was getting darker and our yard started filling up. Great music was playing and Bailey and I made our rounds socializing. In the corner by our pool I saw Caleb with Jenner talking to Janelle and a new girl named Sabra. She was definitely sexy and beautiful and I could not blame Caleb for looking at her. He seemed to be really into her and for a second he looked up and caught my glance. He kept his eyes on me until I flinched and turned away taking a sip of my rum and coke. Damn! I was mad at myself for being caught in that moment.

I quickly became distracted by Ivan who was making his way towards Bailey and I. He looked pretty hot tonight opting to look sporty by wearing a Marlins baseball cap, black and white striped board shorts with a black polo. “Hi Bailey, Hi Cali,” he said, kissing her cheek and then mine. “I am late getting here so I need to catch up. Come with me to get drinks,” he said, with all the confidence in the world. We followed him to “Cory’s Bar” as he liked to tell everybody, and he ordered us shots. “Let’s get this party started,” he screamed, causing Cory, Bailey and I to laugh and everyone else outside to look in our direction including Caleb’s evil eye. We downed lemon drop shots and without asking Cory said, “Here is another.”
