Ellie giggled and looked back around to see where Jeff and Ari where.
Now back to this other bullshit.
“Okay, so you mean to tell me that Ari is still an um, you know, an um…. ”
“Virgin? Yes she is. She was upset the morning she called Jefferson. She was in hysterics when she told me what she did and was so upset for trying to hurt Jefferson. I tried to tell her she needed to tell him the truth but in her mind she thinks this will help them both to move on. I of course think she is making a huge mistake but it’s not my place to get involved. Please don’t tell Jefferson, Gunner. ”
“Of course I won’t say anything but shit…. why can’t they see how they both feel? I want to just knock their heads together!”
“What the hell are you two doing over there? This is a family home for Christ sakes!” I heard Ari shout. I looked down at Ellie and right on cue…. there went the blush in her cheeks.
“Come on let’s get you moved into your new digs!”
The whole time we helped them move the little amount of stuff they had I kept thinking about what Ellie had told me about Ari. Watching Jeff and Ari together they seemed to be loosening up again and becoming more relaxed around each other. Jeff even asked Ari to stop talking when she was rattling on about something and she replied with a fuck off dickwad. Yep I would say things were getting back to normal.
Once we got everything into the guest house and Jeff set up their new flat screen TV for them it was lunch time.
“Goddamn…I know where we’re coming to watch football. This fucker is huge!” Jeff said as he sat back on the sofa.
“So where do y’all want to go for lunch?” Ari asked as she sat on the sofa next to Jeff.
“How about burgers, Mighty Fine sound good?” Jeff asked as he looked around to each of us.
“That sounds MIGHTY FINE to me!” Ari said as she jumped up and grabbed her keys. I’m driving…. the weather is too nice not to take the jeep.
As we started to walk out to Ari’s jeep Ellie held me back. Just by me holding her hand it made my stomach do all sorts of flips and dives. Jeff and Ari had walked out the door and were heading to the jeep.
“What’s up sweetheart, everything okay?”
“No…. . no it’s not okay. ” She said with a serious look on her face. Oh shit. I started to replay the whole morning in my head. Did I say something? What the fuck did I do?
“What is it Ells? What’s wrong?” I asked her as my heart started to beat out of control. Things were just getting back to normal. NO…better than normal. We were passed the whole friends status.
“It’s just that I really need you to kiss me, like right now. ” She said with a smile that melted my heart right there on the spot.
Well shit…. just when I thought it couldn’t get any better.
“Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to kiss you Ellie. ” I said as I reached down and hugged her around her waist. She giggled when I lifted her up and took her lips with mine. Fuck…. if my dick was not getting hard again. I just wanted to walk over to the sofa with her and make out. Touch her body and make her feel things she had never felt before.
Just as the kiss was moving from sweet and innocent to passionate and needy…. Ari honked the horn. Ellie started laughing and even though I just wanted to shout out FUCK, I started to put Ellie back down. She had a huge smile on her face that only made me smile right back at her.
“Was that what you were looking for?” I asked as I gave her a wink.
She smiled and punched me in the arm. “YES! But more than anything I love the way you pick me up and hold me close to you.
” Right on cue……the blush crept up her cheeks. I’ll never get tired of it.
“That is just one of the many things I would love to do to you. ”
Ari honked again but this time she laid on the horn for a good five seconds. Ellie and I both laughed and started to walk out the door.
“She is probably pissed she is sitting in the jeep alone with Jefferson!” Ellie said with a laugh.
After lunch we drove and picked up a few items for Brad’s birthday party before heading back to the girls cottage. Ari had sent a text message to their friend Heather and asked if she wanted to come tonight since Amanda would also be there with Brad.
“You better warn your friend Heather that Josh had his eyes on her. ” Jeff said with a wink towards Ari and Ellie.
“SHIT! All the bastard talked about every time I danced with him was Heather. Fucker had a hard on all night and it was NOT from dancing with me!” Ari said as she pulled the last bag for the party out of her jeep and walked it over to my truck.
