“FUCKER! You scared the shit out of me!”
“Sorry…. ”
I grabbed a water from the cooler and took a long drink. I couldn’t help but notice her watching me drink it. I wiped the sweat one more time off my face before I got in the jeep.
“Finally, it took you fucking long enough to fix a damn fence that should have been fixed thirty minutes ago. ”
“Well if you thought you could have fixed it sooner why the fuck didn’t you bring you sweet ass over and help me?”
“Pesh…. yeah right. I kind of enjoyed the show. ” She said with a wink.
I turned the key over in the ignition and nothing happened. I let it off and tried it again. Nothing…. . Strange…. I turned it over again…. Nothing…. . I did this four more times and now Ari was sitting up looking at the ignition, willing it to start.
“Oh no…NO! NO! NO! NO! NOOOOO! Jeff, tell me that this piece of shit is going to start!” Ari practically shouted in my goddamn ear.
“Okay, this piece of shit is going to start. ”
Ari shot me a look and jumped out of the jeep.
“DO SOMETHING!”
“Jesus Ari calm the fuck down, it’s not like we are stuck in the middle of nowhere. Garrett knows we’re here and when we don’t come back in the next few minutes he’ll know something is wrong. We need to just be patient and wait for someone to come looking for us. ”
I ran my hands through my hair as I watched her pace back and forth with that sweet ass swaying side to side. The thoughts that were running through my head were not good and I needed to stop. I had to reach down and adjust myself more than once.
FUCK! I pulled my phone out to see how long we had been gone, just a little over an hour and a half so if Garrett was the one who noticed the broken fence he would know that I should have been done by now and would be heading back.
After about thirty minutes of Ari pacing back and forth she pulled out her cell phone. She started walking all over the place holding her phone up. What the fuck was she doing?
; “Ari, what the hell are you doing?”
“Well, while you’re being a lazy ass just sitting underneath that tree, I’m going to try and get a signal to call someone to come save us!”
“Save us?” I let out a laugh as she turned and shot me the finger.
“YES! Save us! It is getting fucking hot out here and what if we run out of water?! Did you ever think of that Jeff? HUH?” Ari jumped back up on the jeep and tried to get as high as she could.
“Jesus Christ Ari, it’s not like we are going to be stuck out here for days. Stop climbing all over the fucking jeep. You are going to fall and get hurt. ”
“Fuck off dickwad! I got a signal last night maybe I will again. ”
“Oh yeah, when you got a text from your boyfriend…. how is that working out for you Ari, dating a douche bag like Jason Reed. ” I said with a smile. I’ve never known that guy to remain faithful to any girl he has ever dated. I couldn’t stand that mother fucker.
“Jealous much Jeff?”
“Hardly…. . ” It fucking cut me to the bone knowing that that fucker got to hold Ari in his arms. Kiss her endlessly. The thought of him taking her virginity…. . it just fucking pissed me off. He didn’t deserve her.
“Oh. My. GOD! I can’t believe this! We are going to have to be out here for hours! NO ONE has come yet and it’s been over two hours! What if they all left! What if they think we decided to go to the river and cool off or you decided to check out your little piece of land you want?! What if Garrett left and didn’t leave a note where we were and Gunner and Ellie come back and they think we’re just riding or …or…. or fuck I don’t know……. What would two people who can’t stand to be around each other be doing! FUCK why can’t I get a signal!”
Ari jumped off the jeep and was now pacing and holding her phone up in the air again. I was going to fucking choke her if she didn’t shut the fuck up soon!
“COME ON! Fucking phone…. why the fuck do I pay for all that extra shit if I can’t even get a goddamn decent signal?! Maybe we should start walking? Maybe we should just start yelling…yeah…then someone would hear us! Shit sound travels in the country pretty far right……”
OH. MY. GOD! I can’t take it any longer! I need her to shut her up!
“Maybe if we just…. ”
