I take another gulp of my beer , I just want the stings of the words that Max said to me to go away .
" Time to go ." Dexter demands
" No You ain't the boss of me ." I reply I know he is only trying to help but but I don't want to leave .
"You know I have that molding gig in the morning ." He says
" So I don't ." I answer him back
He runs his fingers threw his brown hair . And let's out a breathe.
" Liv done went home ."he says
" So " I say
" You don't seem drunk how many drinks have you had ?" He asks
" This is my second ." I lie
It really is my 4thand I may have more but he don't need to know that .
" I guess I can ask somebody if you can ride home with them it is the 1 st party of the year ." He says and walks off
I tell " Thank you and laugh . A few minutes later he walks back over and says
" Nathan will take you home ." He states
My heart races .
" It is only him and Jim knight ." Dexter says and my heart and mind Relaxes .I would hate if Max was with him . Of course Max would probably hate it more . Max and Nathan is on the baseball team so the thought of them being here together was not far fetch either way I am happy they are not .
After a hour of dancing and kind of making a new friend with a freshman named Solan who I know is only speaking to me because I am a senior but I don't care , Nathan walks over and asks me
" Are you ready to go ? "
" Yea sure ." I say I pretty much well sober up anyways .
As we reach Nathan's car Max is leaning on it . I stop in my tracks .
" No Jim was suppose to ride with you not Max ." I stutter
" Jim hooked up with some girl and left , Max needs a ride , it really shouldn't be a problem ." Nathan says
As we walk up anxiety is rushing threw me . I don't want Max to think I am here because I want to be around him .
" She is the girl you have to give a ride to " Max shouts
" Yes Dexter asked me to , it is not no big deal . " Nathan says and raisin his hand like telling Max to calm down .
" Its not my choice trust me , I don't want to be in the same vehicle with you ." I shout
" Then don't I am sure there is some sober chick you can hitch a ride with . " he yells and moves his hands in the air
" I will just call a Uber Thank though Nathan ." I say very calmly
" No we can't let a girl go alone in a Uber ." Max say even more calmly
" Then you call a Uber ." I say
Max looks at Nathan and back at me like he is weighing his options.
" No my account is messed up now " he stutters
" Whatever can we just leave wow y'all date for a short while now it is over maybe you liked each other but it was not love . You can be in a car together its not the end of the world ." Nathan yells and me and Max just look at each other I am embarrassed I think Max is too .
We go to get in Nathan's car but there is no back seat . I stop because I didn't realize that .
" Mia y'all can sit in same seat or you try the console . I get in and try to sit on the console but it is the littlest console ever . I am toward Max as he gets in his eyes go straight to my chest . I turn the other way . Nathan looks down and says .
" Wow " as he looks at my chest too .
All girls had to wear Bikini tops to this bonfire .
I try to adjust myself where I am on the middle and not faceing either boy .
Max say " drive the car man " in a rude way
I believe Max is jealous . He is looking out the window his hands is in his lap and he is fidgeting . So I decide to have a little fun with it . After all he don't want me . I lean up with my arm stretch out to the dash leaning toward Nathan knowing right where his eyes will go .
" So Nathan can you believe this is my 1 st time in your car . " I say
Nathan just looks at me and finally say " umm unhu"
I giggle
" You could be in it more if ya want " he stutters
" Keep your eyes on the road Nathan " Max warns
Max pulls me back into his lap , I Yelp out of surprise his hand stays on my arm for a moment . Then he moves it . The breathe has been knocked out me .
" You don't want him to hit something do you ?" Max asks with rudeness
" Sorry Man " Nathan answers Max
Then car makes a noise . Then another loud thud .
" What is that ?" Max asks
" Oh no I forgot to get gas " he says and pulls off the exit .
We can see a gas station from the exit it is not too far .
" I will go get some gas and bring it back ." Max says
" No y'all been drinking and the laws hang out there all the time I will go just y'all don't kill each other while I am gone ." Nathan says
Nathan is right we been fighting . But when he pulled me I felt like putty in his hands . I don't want to be that girl .
" I need to stretch"I say and get out of the car . I stretch and he watches.
" Are you doing that on purpose?" He asks
" What " I ask back
" Stretching in front of me your boobs you know trying to get attention " He says
" I was not trying to get attention " I say and I wasn't at 1 st then I was .
" I can't help I am in a Bikini top , just what every girls wear to the bon fire ." I add
" ok " he says then we both stay quite for a few mins .
" Dexter and you seem close . " Max comments
" Yea we became friends over the summer he is cool well cool sort of , he is really a great guy ." I answer
" It don't bother you that he is close to Marco ." Max asks with his eye brows raised .
" Nope he is nothing like Marco they are friends but they are nothing alike . " I say
I walk closer with my arms cross . Max seems to be nervous , I don't know why .
" There is Nathan " Max says and moves quickly . It is almost like he is scared of me .
When Nathan returns , the boys fill up the car and then get in . I don't know what to do until Max says
" Mia just sit on my lap ."
I do but feel awkward and embarrassed and just upset the whole ride home .
I thank Nathan for the ride and walk to my house .
" Hey wait " Max says and runs up to me .
" I am sorry I shouldn't have pulled you back if you want to flirt with Nathan or let him see a glance of your cleavage that is your business I really just didn't want to hit anything . I don't want you to think that I care I mean if you want to be with Nathan I can put in a good word for you ." He says
I can't believe what I am hearing .
Is he trying to hurt me ?
Or does he just really don't care.
" I don't need to put in a word for me but thanks for the offer ." I say and walk away. And when I get inside my eyes cry like a river !!!!!!!!!
