“It’s cool.” I shrugged. “We can go if you all are ready.”
Monica hadn’t wanted to go to the party at all, but Trey insisted that she should face her fears and have some fun. That was how I got roped into it. Because dragging her best friend to a party to use when she needed an out to leave seemed like the best option to her. It’s not like I had anything better to do anyway. A sticky shirt and people watching were better than sitting home alone in my apartment and Facebook stalking.
“No, no it’s fine!” Monica shook her head and tugged on my arm. “Let’s go dance and get rid of this awkwardness!

Prologue
Flynn
8 years ago
I glance down at my watch.
11:50PM.
In about ten minutes, I’m going to see Marney. In about twenty minutes, I’m going to be buried deep inside of her and my horny, eighteen year old body starts to get a boner thinking about it.
Marney and I have been dating for just over six months but we had sex for the first time very recently.
Five days ago to be exact.
That’s one-hundred and twenty long hours or seven-thousand, two hundred excruciating minutes.
We haven’t been able to see each other the last few days between school events and work. She’s on our high school soccer team and I play baseball. When we’re not working our part-time jobs, we have our studies, and although we are just weeks away from graduation, we are both competitive and strive for good grades.
That’s a lot of shit we both have going on, which means our time together has been limited. And that’s pretty fucked up in my opinion, because sex with Marney should really be a priority in my life.
Fuck...I love my girl!
She is everything a guy could ever want. She’s drop dead gorgeous, smart as shit and funny as hell. We hadn’t been going out barely three weeks and I knew I was in love with her. I was too chicken shit to say anything, but luckily for me, Marney confessed she loved me first at just the five week mark in our relationship, and then I was able to reciprocate.
Even though love hit us kinda fast, we took our time with sex. Which is strange, now that I think about it because neither one of us were virgins. Marney had been dating our high school quarterback, Sam Faber, since the ninth grade but they had broken it off at the end of our junior year.
Lucky for me!
