American Honey

“They’re not you.” He whispers.

Forgetting all about the sunburn, I jump onto his lap and kiss him long and hard. His tongue tangles with mine and for a split second, I push every doubt I have far back in my mind. He’s right, I’m going to live in the moment with this. He makes me happier than anyone ever has or ever could and right now, I’m not letting that go.

Chapter 10

Last night Sienna and I actually came back to her house. We’ve spent so much time with the guys, we’ve hardly had much alone time. She is the reason I came down here anyway. She wants to take me to the mall, so reluctantly I get dressed and we go. I remember this mall as a kid going with Mom and i

t was so small. Now it has so many stores, we end up spending half our day there. My phone rings and I look to see my Dad calling. I miss talking to him every day, it’s weird not seeing him. I know I will be happy to see him when I get home, but at the same time, I’ll be sad I won’t be seeing someone else.

“Hey Dad,” I say happily into the phone.

“Hey kiddo, I just wanted to check on you and see what was going on. Are you enjoying yourself?”

“Yeah Dad, it’s pretty fun. I’ve gotten at least one sunburn in, so I’m good. Hopefully the last.”

“You ready to come home yet?”

Typical Dad, I knew that was coming. He’s all alone so I don’t blame him for asking. “Yeah Dad, you know it.” Trouble is though, I’m lying. I’m not ready to even think about it yet.

“I’ll let you get back to whatever you and Sienna have planned for the day. I just wanted to check in on you.”

“I love you Dad. Bye.”

I end the call as Sienna and I walk into Express. This is truly the devils store. I end up spending way too much money by the time we walk out.

“Let’s walk down this way, I want to go into Victoria’s Secret.” Sienna says pulling me towards her.

We walk through the mall until we get to Victoria’s Secret. She walks over towards the panties and starts holding different pairs up. “What do you think of this one?” She says holding up the red lace pair.

“Oh, I like this one.” I grab the black lace thong and hold it up.

“Beau would love that one. You should buy it. Oh, and this bra!” she says pulling the bra off the shelf. She just happened to grab the right size. Lucky bitch.

“So you’re buying the red one?” I ask her.

“Yeah, red is Rob’s favorite color.” She blushes.

“You two are so cute together.” I grin at her as we walk up to the cashier.

I try not to look at the price when I hand the cashier my credit card. “So are you and Beau.” Sienna throws back at me.

I shoot her a look begging her not to start this. She shrugs her shoulders as we walk out the store and back to her car. We finish the day with a little Orange Leaf frozen yogurt before heading back to the apartment.

I flop on the bed and stare at my bags while Sienna goes to shower. She has a date with Rob tonight. Now that they are official, they are spending more time together. I did come down here for her, but I am so happy for her, I don’t care. We are still spending plenty of time together.

My phone dings and I reach over immediately smiling when I see the message.

Beau: Do you want to come over since Rob and Sienna have a date tonight?

Me: I thought you’d never ask.

Beau: Really? Can I come pick you up?

Me: Sure, what time?

Beau: How’s 6?

Me: Perfect
