way was I sticking with only one girl. I really couldn’t understand why
I found myself staring after her as she walked away with Soph considering the possibilities and I couldn’t shake it she was really holding my
interest. Maybe it was the fact that she acted completely uninterested in me,
normally it was just so easy.
    If I find a girl that can hold my interest   then maybe the wild side of me would be easier to let go of but right now I was
enjoying the play. I couldn’t get past this feeling though. There was something
about this girl that I couldn’t just ignore. The way her lips puckered out when
she was thinking of something to say or how she looked at the ground kicking
her foot when she was obviously nervous. She had deliberately ignored me and
walked to Blake to introduce herself. I would have been all over that but that
dumbass just kept on shoveling the junk food in and nodding his head. I felt
her flinch when I placed my hand on her back though so I definitely make her
nervous but she plays it off well.
    We reached the cars and the girls
were going to be following   Evan’s car to
the party so being the guy that I am well I volunteered to ride in Sophia’s car
with them “I don’t want you pretty ladies taking a wrong turn and getting lost
somewhere.” I could tell Soph was pissed she knew my
game and I was going to have to play it cool unless I wanted to get on her bad
side. “Don’t even think about hitting on my girl Luke I’m serious she don’t
need your shit” she said as she pointed her finger in my face before I climbed
in her Mustang into the back seat. After she started the car and pulled out to
follow Evan I leaned forward to get closer to the girls and I got a faint scent
of vanilla and cinnamon. I breathed it in once more before leaning in a little
closer to Zoey I whispered in her ear “You smell
awfully good Z”. She turned her head toward me but didn’t pull away her mouth
was just inches from mine and my heart felt like it skipped I thought oh yeah
here we go she is so mine even feeling a little confident and cocky. “Back off
Luke…you’re in my personal space and I don’t really remember extending an
invite” she was so serious and still didn’t move away but held eye contact. I
smiled and leaned back a bit before turning toward Sophia as she burst into
laughter. “Well Luke how does that feel? I know it’s not every day a girl shuts
you down.” Not once did Zoey smile she just stared
out the front window. “Well Sophia you can’t blame a guy for trying I mean your
friend here is definitely hot and her little cowgirl accent has kinda got me hooked”, she did not look amused when she
connected our gaze once more. “Listen Luke I don’t mean to be a bitch but I’m
not gonna sleep with you, hell I’m not even gonna kiss ya so just cut the
shit and stop trying to convince yourself that I’m gonna be your next victim. Sorry but I have more respect for myself then the girls I
guess you are used to. It just ain’t gonna be happening so if you plan on having that kind of
fun tonight then don’t go wasting your night on me.” She really kind of stunned
me and I wasn’t sure how to respond to that. Zoey was
definitely headstrong and confident in herself. The way she put me in my place
well that just made her more attractive.
    We arrived at the party and the
place was packed. The house was on the end of a lane right on the beach and the
nearest house was a distance down the road so we had privacy to cut loose. The
girls hung back as I walked ahead to find Blake and go get us a drink. Zoey was really getting under my skin and I needed to shake
this. Whitney was there so I knew that I had a for sure hookup if nothing else
fell into my lap. I glanced back at Evan and the girls trailing behind I wasn’t
sure but Zoey looked like she was trying to convince
Sophia of something but Soph grabbed her arm and
dragged her toward the house.
    I needed to clear my head why was
