I started to laugh, god I loved Ari. Her mother had us watching more Katharine Hepburn movies the other night and filling our heads with her girl power lectures. I see why Ari is so strong headed.
“Why would he be upset if he knew Jefferson was going to be there?” I asked because I was more curious than anything. How could Jason even know anything about Jefferson and Ari.
Ari stopped and looked at me confused. “You know, I’m not sure why he even asked about Jeff. That is kind of weird isn’t it?” Ari said as she sat down and ate a banana.
“Maybe he knows Gunner and Jeff are roommates, have you ever talked about them?” I asked as Ari looked at a text message she just got.
Ari thought about it for a moment. “I must have…. how else would he even know? I mean I’ve brought up Gunner only because of you but I honestly don’t remember ever talking about Jeff. Oh well, it doesn’t matter…. I’m not one hundred percent sure Jeff is going until I see his handsome face sitting in the truck!” Ari said with a wink as she got up and walked towards her bedroom.
“I’m going to get dressed. Jeff just sent a text saying they were on their way. ” Right then my phone buzzed with a text message from Gunner.
My darling Ellie…. we’re on our way. I can’t wait to see you ;-)
I let out a small EEEPPP and ran to the bedroom to grab my suitcase. I brought it back out to the living room and Ari was walking out with her suitcase. She was wearing short…. SHORT blue jean shorts with a sleeveless black top. She had on flip flops and was putting her hair in a pony tail.
“THERE! Do I look country enough? I mean I know Jeff is expecting me to be all dolled up and probably wanting to bring four suitcases with me so I am keeping it to a bare minimum. ”
I looked at her giant suitcase and then back at her. She had very little makeup on and had taken all of nail polish off as well.
“Well, I know how hard it was for you to take a smaller suitcase Ari…. are you sure you got everything?” I said with sarcasm dripping from my mouth.
“Oh holy shit you don’t know how hard it was for me to pack so light. I had to really think about my outfits and what situation I might come up in on a ranch. It was plain torture. Fuck…it better be fun!”
I let out a laugh. I could not believe she was fucking serious! Ari looked at me with a confused look on her face.
“What the hell is so funny?” She said has she put her hands on her hips and stared at me.
“YOU! That is a HUGE suitcase and what is with taking off all your nail polish? I’m pretty sure girls who live in the country wear nail polish. Did you pack jeans? Gunner told me to bring plenty of jeans. ”
“Of course I packed jeans what the hell Ellie…. I’ve been to the country b
efore!”
Just then I heard Gunner’s truck driving and music blaring from it. Christ if he played Truck Yeah I would kill him. We walked over to the bay window and watched them parked. They both got out of the truck at the same time and they were both laughing at something. My stomach took a dive and my heart starting beating like crazy.
“Holy fuck…. ” Ari and I both said at the same time. We looked at each other and started laughing.
“Jesus, Mary and Joseph no guy should look that fucking hot in a pair of fucking Wranglers and cowboy boots. I think I’m going to have an orgasm just looking at his ass in those things!”
“Shit Ari come on! That’s my brother…. eewwwwAAAA!” I said as I hit her in the shoulder.
“Fuck me Ellie do you not see Gunner? Holy shit…. . that fucker is hot!”
I smiled as I watched them walk up to the house. Gunner looked hotter than hot. I had to push my legs together to ease the ache that was present…. again…. from just looking at him. He had on a pair of Wrangler jeans and a white t-shirt. A tight white t-shirt just like the one he was wearing the first day I met him. I could see his tattoo through the white t-shirt and part of it was sticking out from his sleeve. I had yet to see him with his shirt off and I was dying to! I wanted to trace his tribal tattoo with my finger and then my tongue.
ARGH! Ellie stop thinking like that. Oh my god what was wrong with me. I had to shake my head to clear my thoughts.
“Hmmmm YUM…. I see Gunner’s tattoo…. . sure as shit wish Jeff had on a white t-shirt stupid fucker! I hardly got to look at his tattoos the other morning. ” Ari said as she wiggled her eyebrows up and down!
“Shut up you bitch! Come on let’s get going before they see us both drooling all over them!”
Jeff knocked on the front door but then opened it and walked in. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Ari.
“You’re wearing that?” Jeff asked Ari as he looked her up and down and ran his hand through his hair.
Ari shrugged her shoulders and looked at what she was wearing.
“Yeah, why, what’s wrong with what I have on dickwad?
