but I can’t see them because of the fire.
So I stand, and when I see that it’s my buddy Jeff, I give him a “What the fuck?” look. “Dude,” I say, and he holds up his hands.
“Sorry, man, didn’t see you there.”
I roll my eyes before dropping down on the couch. “Sorry about that.”
I pull a Coke out from under my ass as she says, “Guys are dicks.”
“They can be,” I agree, throwing the can on the ground as I blink slowly.
Getting up so quickly left me a little dizzy.
“I was walking over here and got hit on so many times.”
“It’s the tank, the sides of your tits were showing,” I say with a grin.
She grins back. “I don’t usually dress like this.”
“Thank God for small miracles then, because I’ve enjoyed the view.”
She giggles. “I would usually tell a guy to fuck off if he said that to me.”
I glance over at her and wink. “Yeah, but you like me.”
She gives me a look that says differently, but her body is basically singing for mine. Just in case the look didn’t let me know her feelings, she says, “I don’t like you, like, fuck you, like you, but I mean you’re cool.”
“Yeah, of course,” I say, playing along, but I know she’s full of it.
Either that, or I don’t know a female from a hockey puck.
And I know what a hockey puck is.
“Okay, let’s do this,” I say then, smacking my thigh.
She looks over at me confused. “Do what?”
“Pick your brain stuff,” I inform her. “Tell me your favorite movie.”
She smiles as she leans back, obviously relaxing. For the next two drinks, we go back and forth, talking about all our favorites. It seems that we are the same person. She loves Mighty Ducks , but then again, what hockey player doesn’t love that movie? Her favorite candy is Nerds, also my favorite. Soon though, the conversation leads to hockey. She’s pretty successful, but that isn’t what has my jaw hanging open. She is my hockey twin. She tapes her stick left to right like I do, and she also puts her right skate on first, like me. While I tape up my left wrist, she does her right.
“This is spooky,” is her reaction and I laugh.
“Right?” I say, shaking my head. “But cool.”
She doesn’t seem to think so. I can see the doubt and hear it in her voice as she asks, “Sure, are you sure you do all this? Nerds? That’s not normal favorite candy shit.”
I nod. “Been my favorite since I was a kid,” I say, and when I see Jace coming out of the ocean with Delanie, both of them laughing and looking like they are about to go have sex, I yell, “Hey Jace, what’s my favorite candy?”
He gives me a look and then shakes his head. “Nerds, right?”
I look at her triumphantly and she laughs. “Fine, I believe you.” Grinning over at me, she says, “That was convenient too. Did you plan that?”
“What?”
“Your brother coming at the right moment to verify your claim.”
I nod. “Oh, of course. I knew that at this particular moment, we were going to talk about my favorite candy. And so I planned for him to frolic in the ocean with Delanie until I smacked my hands together twice. Then he was to come out of the ocean and answer my question,” I say, and I realize I’m talking a lot with my hands. “Yeah. Planned it all.”
She giggles as she leans into me. “Smartass.”
Unlike her, I’m wearing a tee, and when she leans into me, her warmth is all-consuming against me. But she moves away too quickly in my opinion. She then looks at me, her eyes dancing with laughter as the fire glints off her face. “I have to admit, I’m having fun.”
“Ha! Told ya. I’m not that bad.”
“Not bad at all. Kinda funny,” she adds and I smile.
“I try.” I lean back against the couch and shrug. “It’s really nice being out here with you.”
She looks back at me and then leans back too. I can see that she is holding back, but finally, she admits, “I was thinking the same thing.”
She doesn’t want to admit that
