Hmm, manners, good looking and a rocking body. Yeah this guy is too good to be true. I would do good to keep telling myself that.
“You refer to your truck as a girl?” I looked over at the truck and back at Gunner. OHHH mistake…there was that damn smile again. Wait? When did it go crooked? Maybe it was just the way he was smiling right now. I don’t think I would have missed that…. would I? My head was spinning and my hand was throbbing. Good lord I’m so fucked with this guy.
Gunner let out another one of those laughs that made me go all Jello on the inside. SHIT! I should have just taken my chances with my mother.
“Yes, Ellie I refer to her as my girl. This way I know the only way my heart will ever get broken is if she breaks down on the side of the road and leaves me stranded. ” He said as he gave me a wink.
Holy hell this guy was killing me, what a flirt! Okay…. I can play this game! I dug down deep and pulled out my sexiest voice……
“Well…… I’m sure your heart is safe then…. aren’t Fords pretty reliable? I mean, I would hate to th
ink of your heart being broken. It would just make me all sad. ” I said as I looked up at him through my eye lashes. His crooked smile got even bigger and for a moment he looked like he wanted to kiss me.
My heart started to pound even harder…holy fuck…was eighteen too young to be having a heart attack? I mean what the hell else was this?!
“Gunner!” Jefferson called out and snapped me out of my moment of weakness and I spun around to look at my brother who was holding my overnight bag and giving both of us a curious look.
“Dude, can I talk to you for a minute?”
OH. MY. GOD…what was I doing? I just flirted with my brother’s best friend, in FRONT of my brother and now he was going to chew his ass out. Or worse…. beat the shit out of him!
Oh great! There goes my party Saturday night. FUCK ME!
“Hey Ells you mind heading in and I’ll bring your bag to my bedroom?” Jefferson asked as I slowly started to walk towards him.
“Umm, yeah sure no problem but, um is everything okay?”
“Of course it is honey; I just need to ask Gunner to do me a favor. ” Jefferson said as he pushed me up the stairs of the front porch. I turned back around and watched as Gunner ran his hands through his beautiful messy hair while he walked up to Jefferson. Oh how I would love to run my hands through his hair. I He took one look up at me and smiled. I felt my lower lip going numb and realized I was biting the shit out of it.
I turned back towards the door and opened it. As soon as I walked in I had to smile. It smelled just like Jefferson in here. And it smelled just like……. . Gunner……. oh yeah….
I was fucked for sure.
Chapter Four
Gunner…. .
The moment Jeff had asked Ellie to go inside I knew something was up. FUCK! I needed to be more careful around her, especially in front of Jeff. In just the short amount of time I had been around her today I wanted to know so much more about her. What were her favorite flowers, her favorite restaurant, band, and movie?
Holy fuck, what the hell was going on with me? I had this incredible urge to just be around her. I mean I have been with girls, plenty of girls but none of them have ever affected me the way Ellie has. Just touching her alone causes me to get a semi. What the fuck is that about? She’s my best friend’s sister who just broke up with her douche bag boyfriend this morning.
Gunner man…. . chill the fuck out.
Well, let’s get this over with. I walked over to Jeff but not before I looked up and saw Ellie looking down at me biting her lip. I’m pretty sure it took all my strength not to let a moan out from just the sight of her chewing on that lip. I knew she was worried about what Jeff was about to say to me, especially since she just attempted to flirt with me for the first time today. God she was cute as a button but holy shit she was so innocent and yet, so seductive at the same time.
She gave me a weak smile and turned to walk into the house. I let out a big sigh and walked up to Jeff.
“What’s up dude? Is everything okay?” I asked getting ready for the first punch to be thrown.
“Yeah dude its all good. Listen, I totally forgot I had a date tonight with Rebecca. I’ve been putting this off for weeks now. If I call her now and cancel. . …. ” Jefferson said as he looked back at the house.
“Gunner, I hate to ask this of you but, can you stay home tonight and take care of Ellie? I don’t want to leave her alone. She has never taken these kinds of meds before. I mean I know I’m asking a lot out of you to sit and watch my sister. I think she would okay with it. Actually, I kind of think she might like you dude. ”
I just stood there stunned into silence and I looked around for a second. Where the fuck was my best friend Jeff? The one who refused to let any of his friends meet his baby sister until after she was out of high school. The Jeff who actually threatened us with bodily harm if we ever laid a hand on her.
This day just keeps getting more and more fucking weird.
“Umm, no I don’t mind at all. ” I said to Jeff as I looked at him with a stunned expression on my face.
