“Let’s grab our bags and choose our rooms,” Sally said quickly and she grabbed her small duffel bag. “And maybe you can call Cody, Mila, see what time he plans to arrive.”
“Yeah,” I said and grabbed my small suitcase. “I’ll do that.” I walked towards the front door, feeling irritated, annoyed and out of sorts. Maybe this weekend wasn’t going to go as well as I’d hoped. I wish I’d known that peroxide Barbie was going to be joining us. I couldn’t imagine what TJ saw in her. She had no redeeming qualities, but then maybe the only quality she needed was to lie on her back and keep her mouth shut. A dart of jealousy spread through me as I thought about TJ and Barbie having sex. I tried to shake the thought from my mind as it made me want to throw up and die at the same time. I didn’t want to think about TJ with anyone else. I knew he wasn’t a virgin, I knew he wasn’t saving himself for me, and I was okay with that. But just the thought of him being with someone like her killed me. Especially after having wanted him for so many years and saving myself for him.
“Wow,” Sally said, interrupting my thoughts as we watched TJ bringing in Barbie’s suitcase. I could feel my face going red with anger and even more hate and jealousy as I watched them talking and laughing together. “Let’s go grab our room.”
“Yeah,” I said and we walked along the corridor. “I don’t know what he sees in her. She has no redeeming qualities.”
“Who is she, anyway?” Sally said. “Talk about a bimbo. I didn’t think she was his type.”
“I don’t know.” I sighed as we walked into the bedroom and I closed the door behind us and locked it. I fell down onto the bed and groaned. “Do you think I should even go ahead with my plan this weekend? It seems like it would be a waste of time. I don’t even know when I’m supposed to try and seduce him if she’s here.”
“Girl, you have to go ahead with it,” Sally said and dropped down on the bed next to me. “Do you think Cody is going to bring someone as well?”
“I don’t know.” I sighed and turned to face her. “Are we the biggest idiots in the world?”
“Maybe.” She grinned, her smile a little sad. “We’ve been crushing on these guys forever and, well, I just don’t know that either of them have even noticed us.”
“I know.” I chewed on my lower lip. “I feel like, in their eyes, we’re always going to be the immature little girls that they remember from high school.”
“Yeah,” Sally said. “But at least you have a plan. Oh yeah, I wanted to tell you what I did with Troy.”
“What do you mean what you did?”
“Well, I—”
BANG BANG.
“Girls, you in there?” TJ interrupted us as he banged on the door.
“Yes,” I said and Sally and I just lay on the bed and waited for what he was going to say next.
“I’m hoping you can tell me what room I should give Barbie.”
“Isn’t she sleeping in your room?” I said cattily.
“No,” he said simply and I sat up, my eyes bright.
“No?” I shouted back, grinning down at Sally.
“That’s what I said. Mila, can you please come and open the door?” TJ said, his voice annoyed.
“Coming.” I jumped off of the bed and ran my hands through my hair, trying to make it a little bit more presentable. I looked at Sally and grinned as I walked towards the door. “How can I help you, TJ?” I asked softly as I opened the door and looked at him with a blank expression.
“Take me to my bed,” he said softly with a small smirk on his face.
“What?” My heart started beating fast as I gazed into his devilish green eyes. Was he finally coming on to me? Without me having to wear my sexy suspender get-up? “You want me to what?” I said again, nervously licking my lips. Yes, I wasn’t in my right mind. If I were thinking straight, I wouldn’t have actually thought TJ was asking me to take him to his bed and ride him like the cowgirl I knew I could be.
“Take me,” he leaned forward and said even softer. His lips were a mere inch from mine and I could see the brown speckles in his green eyes as they danced in glee.
“Now?” I gulped.
“Yes, please,” he said and I swallowed hard. “I’m ready to go now.”
“Ready to go now?” I said and I jumped as I felt his finger on my cheek, lightly running towards my lips. Oh, my God, I swear I nearly came at his touch.
“Yes, please, Mila.” He grinned and stepped back. “I’d like to know where I’m sleeping tonight and so would Barbie.”
“Oh?” I said, feeling like a fool as I realized what he was saying. “But you know where to sleep.” And then I frowned. “And why aren’t you sharing a bed with Barbie?”
“I don’t want to be presumptuous,” he said as he stepped back, his eyes searching mine. “I’m not sure your parents would appreciate Barbie and me sharing a bed.”
“Yeah, most probably not,” I said, though I wasn’t sure they would care. It was only me they seemed to worry about being proper.
