“Jeff…this is getting out of hand. I mean come on dude did you know her name?”
“What?”
“You heard me…. did you even know that girls name?”
“Of course I did. She’s a bartender at Rebels and her name is Stacey……. . there are you happy fuckwad. ”
I shook my head as we made our way downtown to Fado’s. I had my one drink and surprising enough Jeff only ordered a coke. We talked for a few more minutes with some of the guys and then Jeff and I took off for Ari’s birthday party.
By the time we got to the party and pulled down their driveway there were already about fifteen cars parked all around.
“Mother fucker! What the fuck is Jon Baker doing here?”
Jeff looked around until he saw him leaning against a BMW talking to some bleached blonde.
“Hell if I know. Ari wouldn’t have invited him so that means douche bag Jason must know him. ”
I parked my truck around the side of the cottage. By the time we got around to the front door Jon and the blonde must have already gone inside. I opened the door and was not surprised to see him standing there talking to Ellie. Fucking dick.
“Gun, just take it easy. He’s only talking to her. ”
“Yeah and that’s all he is ever going to do with her. ”
I started making my way over to Ellie. She smiled that big beautiful smile she saves only for me. She stepped away from Jon and started to walk towards me. I picked her up and kissed the fuck out of her.
“WOW! Was that because Jon was talking to me or are you just that happy to see me?”
Shit I loved this girl! I laughed as I kissed her quickly again. “BOTH!”
“I’ll take both then, anytime!” I slid Ellie down against me and made sure she felt my already hard dick. Just looking at her turned me on. She gave me a wink and smiled. I needed to let her know how much I always wanted her.
“Hey sis…. ” Jeff said as he leaned down to give Ellie a kiss on the cheek and a quick hug.
“Thanks for coming Jeff. I’m sure Ari will be happy to see you. ”
Jeff just shrugged as he scanned the room. His head stopped and his eyes lit up for the first time in two months. I looked over to where he was looking and there was Ari. She was laughing at something Amanda and Heather were saying and she had not noticed Jeff yet. Just then she looked over and I could tell she sucked in her breath at the sight of Jeff standing in her living room. I looked down at Ellie and noticed she was holding her breath. When I looked back at Ari she smiled at Jeff. I swear it was the first time I had seen that smile
of hers since the day she was riding horses at the ranch. I turned to look at Jeff and he was smiling back at her. He then nodded and waved. She waved back and her face turned as red as a rose.
Huh…. interesting. Ellie leaned up and asked if I wanted a beer and I shook my head no. I mouthed water to her and she smiled and turned to walk into the kitchen. I looked up just in time to see Jon watching Ellie walk into the kitchen. I think I was going to have to beat his ass, and soon.
Just then I heard Ari.
“Hey Gunner, Hi Jeff, um long time no see! How’ve you been?”
Jeff cleared his throat after his first attempt to talk to her failed.
“Um, I’ve been good. Busy with football and senior year and all. How about you? You look beautiful and um Happy Birthday squirt!”
Ari blushed again. I looked over her shoulder and saw douche bag Jason watching her every move. Fuck, I could not stand that guy. Something about him made me uneasy.
“Thank you for both the compliment and the birthday wishes. I’ve been okay……. . busy. I miss hanging out with y’all. I’m thinking of going to the ranch with Ellie for Thanksgiving weekend since my parents are going on a cruise. Are you um, you planning on being there?”
Jeff must have felt the daggers being thrown his way by Jason because he looked up and smiled at the prick before looking back down to Ari.
“Yeah, I’m planning on heading there with Gunner. ”
Ari smiled a big satisfying smile. “Cool! Maybe we can have a rematch of that horse race you clearly cheated at. ” Ari said with a wink.
