Her words startleso hard I have to bend over to try and catch my breath, my hands on my knees as I stare at the dew-covered lawn beforeany panties beneath those jeans that look painted on her body alers itch to touch her Undo the snap and slide the zipper down and see if she’s telling me the truth or not

"So" I clearany? Panties?" I ask when I finally find s still burning

She smiles Fuck, she’s cute "Yes I am Sorry I tricked you"

Well, hell That’s a disappointrab her by the crook of her ar is yours?"

Chelsea points it out and I take her there, following her up the stairs as I check out her butt Again My es of her with no panties on Picturing that perfect ass of hers nad makes my ck twitch

"So I’ll see you Wednesday?" I ask as she unlocks her door I’ that her fingers shake the slightest bit as she tries to turn the key It takes her a couple of attempts before she flips the lock and opens the door

I wonder if I make her nervous

"Yes" She flashes ht"

"No probleain sometime" What the fk do I mean by that?

Don’t go there, Maguire

"To work on your assign the door handle She could just slip inside if she wanted to There’s no need to finish this conversation

But here she is Talking toon between us than I want to admit She feels it, too I know she does

"Yeah," I say, lying through nht but since I’et together, of course"

"Of course" She offers o in at eight and work till two"

That shift sucks It’s not safe for a girl to be out that late, especially a sweet, innocent one like Chelsea "How about earlier? We can … have pizza Or whatever you like"

This sounds like a fking study date And I don’t do study dates I don’t date period I wonder if she’s caught on to what’s happening yet

"And I’ll help you catch up Before I go to work" She sounds wary, like she doesn’t trust ood What do you say?" I feel hopeful I sound hopeful

"How about I coests

She can co with o forfor it

I wonder if she thinks I’m a complete dick I would if I were her

She sood," she repeats Chelsea’s looking at me like she doesn’t think I’ at ht carries me all the way hoone The house is kind of clean As clean as it can get the day after a spontaneous party and with three dirty guys living there Well, two live here and the other crashes on our couch all the time I made those two assholes I call friends clean it, then I went behind them and picked up, wiped down, or threhat they uy has his own place, but he’s alith us It used to not botherout of my house and that sucks Fable would flip the fk out if she knew

So I don’t tell her

Wade’s at work--he’s an associate at your local discounthe were anywhere else Poor Wade Poor Des

Lucky onna be nets here and a six-pack of Coke I picked up at the liquor store on the corner I probably should have got diet, since that’s what girls usually prefer Empty calories and all that bullshit--I’ve heard Fable say it before

I really wanted soone froht’s so-called get-together Besides, I know Chelsea wouldn’t like that She doesn’t approve of my extracurricular activities I don’t have to ask her to know that’s the case Not that she judges She’s just not coet this feeling she’s been pretty sheltered so far, and I think back on what I said to her last night

Maybe I can corrupt you
