appear.
“What’s gotten into those two?” Liam asks me, reading my thoughts.
I shrug my shoulders. “I can only assume it’s what they said. Allison will be leaving with us in a few weeks, and Hailey will be without us in Chapel Hill. No, it’s not that far, but they are used to being together all the time, every day. We all are,” I tell him.
Liam sighs. “I guess so. Listen man, you have to help me tonight. I assume it’s just going to be the four of us, but I can’t watch both of them. Can you please keep a close eye on Hales?”
I swallow the lump in my throat. “Yeah, man. I got Hales covered. She’ll be with me.” My heart and body are screaming yes. They both crave time with Hales. My mind on the other hand knows that this is not going to help my growing affection for her. I need to keep myself sober, so things don’t get carried away. If we are both wasted, who knows what could happen.
Liam pulls into the lot and turns off the ignition. “I forgot to ask what they wanted,” he says solemnly.
“I asked Hales, she said to surprise her, but to buy a lot,” I tell him.
He groans and opens his door. Once in the liquor store, the possibilities are endless. The girls are not seasoned drinkers, so the heavy stuff is out of the question.
Liam decides on amaretto sour, strawberry daiquiri, and some flavored Smirnoff coolers. I question mixing alcohol but he shrugs it off, saying that none of it is too hard, and that he and I will be mixing the drinks, so they won’t be strong. Good angle, MacCoy.
Our next stop is the grocery store. Steaks, baked potatoes, and salad. I choose a white cake with whipped icing from the bakery and have them put “Happy Birthday, Hales” in pink, her favorite color. We also pick up some supplies to make ice cream sundaes, another of her favorites.
Arriving back at the house, we pack in all of the supplies and put them away. The girls left us a note on the counter saying that they are on the beach. Shit! I bet there are tons of jackasses mulling around them. Liam reads the note first, and then hands it to me. Neither of us say anything. We just run up the stairs to our rooms, slide into board shorts, and rush out the door. No words are needed. We both know what we are going to find. Allie and Hales are gorgeous; no man in his right mind could walk by and not notice.
Sure enough, as we get closer to the beach, the girls are sitting on lounger chairs surrounded by Seth, Scott, Brian, and Craig. Did these fuckers not get the message yesterday? I clinch my fists tight to my sides, and hear Liam growl next to me. We step up behind the girls’ chairs. Liam slides in behind Allison and pulls her to his chest. Without giving it another thought, I do the same with Hales. I kiss her temple once I have her close to me. “I missed you, angel,” I whisper in her ear, loud enough that Seth, the fucker who is kneeling beside her, can hear me. I don’t even acknowledge him. If I do, I’ll have to hit him, and that will make Hales mad. I don’t want her mad at me on her birthday of all days.
Hailey scoots her ass back, right against my crotch. This tells me that she’s not interested in Seth. Did he try something? Did he do something to make her uncomfortable? I move my face so I can whisper in her other ear, in hopes that Seth can’t hear me.
“Are you okay, angel? Did he hurt you? Hurt Allison?” I whisper softly. Trying to keep myself calm, I pray that she tells me no. Otherwise, Seth is about to be worked over, and I’m about to be benched with the NFL before I even take the field. I know this because I won’t stop if he did something to either of them. It’s gonna take an army to get me off him.
Don’t. Fuck. With. My. Girls.
She shakes her head no and I can feel myself relax. She turns to look at me over her shoulder and her eyes find mine. I lean my ear down to her lips.
