Promises Hurt

“I’ll be there.” I’m not about to miss that meeting. If I get dropped from the band it’s no big deal to me, but I can’t be responsible for screwing up the rest of the guys’ opportunities. It’s not fair to them.

 

When the gig is finally over I tell Blair to follow me back to my house, My dad’s working nights again so it’s just my mom home. I tell her we can order pizza and watch a movie in the pool house. She agrees and fifteen minutes later she’s pulling up behind me in my drive. She gets out and walks to the front door where I’m standing with my hand out for her waiting. She takes it and looks a little nervous.

 

“I need to check in on my mom and let her know I’m home. Come meet her.” I lead her into the family room. Mom’s reading and places her book down to stand up as she sees me walk in, hand in hand with Blair.

 

She quickly smoothes out her shocked face and replaces it with a huge smile as she moves forward to greet us.

 

“Mom, this is Blair, my girlfriend,” I say. “Blair this is my mom, Moira.”

 

I don’t know who looks more startled that I introduced her as my “girlfriend”—Blair or my mom. There’s an awkward silence for a few beats before my mom finally recovers.

 

“Blair, it's so nice to meet you,” she says, pulling her in for a quick hug.

 

“It’s lovely to meet you, too, Mrs. Jamison.”

 

“Hush now, Mrs. Jamison is my mother in-law. Call me Moira.”

 

Blair offers her a warm smile and I squeeze her hand slightly, trying to ease her obvious nerves.

 

“We’re ordering pizza and watching a movie in the pool house,” I tell Mom over my shoulder as I motion Blair out of the room.

 

 

 

 

 

I’m sitting on the floor with my back resting against the futon and Blair’s leaning back against my chest as we eat pizza and watch Reservoir Dogs. I told her to pick the film and was fully expecting her to pick some girly shit. Turns out her taste in movies are just another thing to add to my list of awesome things about my girl.

 

“Ugh…I’m stuffed,” she says, throwing the crust of her pizza back into the open box.

 

She rests her head back against me and gives me a perfect view straight down her shirt. I can’t move my gaze; it feels like my eyes have been glued to her. I mesmerized watching how her breathing expands and lifts her chest. I feel myself harden instantly against her back and she obviously does too, because she starts to subtly grind her ass back into me. Heat floods my body as the blood rushes straight to my dick. I take a deep breath of her sweet perfume and my mind is instantly in the gutter. I’m picturing all the things I want to do to her sexy little body, all the places I want to taste. I feel dizzy with want and desire. This girl does something to my body, it’s like she’s kryptonite and I’m powerless to stop the effect she has on me. Her cell starts to ring, tearing me from my thoughts as she moves forward to grab it.

 

“Hey, Mom,” she answers, as I stand and excuse myself to the bathroom to adjust my hard-on.

 

I return a minute later and Blair’s standing with her jacket and sneakers on and her purse thrown over her shoulder. I sigh internally that she’s going to leave; I had a whole scenario of things I wanted to do with her tonight that has just been squashed.

 

“I should get going,” she says as she steps forward and kisses me lightly.

 

I grab her waist and pull her hard into me, my dick immediately starting to twitch again.

 

“Do you have to?” I plead with my eyes but she just smiles and steps back again.

 

“Afraid so, slick.” She fakes a pout. “I have a ton of homework and I’ve barley seen or spoken to my mom all week. I need to check in.”

 

I sigh and begin to walk her out to her car.

 

“What’s your plans for this weekend, baby?” I ask as she opens her car door and tosses her purse inside. “Whatever they are they’d better include me,” I tell her, lifting my eyebrow and giving her a pointed look.

 

“No plans yet—what do you wanna do?”

 

I wiggle my eyebrows at her and she laughs and slaps my chest playfully.

 

“Perv!”

 

“Yeah, and you love it,” I retort, and her face flashes an emotion I’ve not seen before.

 

“I have an idea but it’s kind of embarrassing,” she says, looking down at her sneakers. I lift her chin and smile.

 

“You don’t ever have to be embarrassed about anything in front of me, Princess.”

 

She lets out a little laugh and meets my gaze.

 

“Okay, well, I kind of want to cross of another thing from Em’s list,” she says eyeing me warily. “Let’s just say it involves a large expanse of water and not very many clothes.”

 

I feel my jaw fall open and I silently thank the hell out of Emily in my head. I didn’t know the girl but right now I fucking love her.

 

“You wanna go skinny dipping?” I ask, my voice laced with hope.

 

Her cheeks redden instantly as she nods and I mentally high-five Emily.
