He’s lying, I can tell I’ the kid I should be his ht to check on you"

"Gi, sounding like the little brother I re

"Nope, not when I’e and I pull the phone away from my ear to check it real quick

It’s from Drew And it’s only one word

Marsh you later tonight and I’ to talk to Wade’shomework and whatever else you need to do"

"Fable, that is such bull--"

"Bye" I hang up before Owen pisses me off more and I immediately text Drew back

I can’t come rescue you if I don’t knohere you are

My heart is beating way too hard after I send that text This is the first time Drew used the marshmallow code word and I’ out at the house I spent the entire afternoon at the beach when Drew and his dad went and golfed at a course not too far froolf courses there, Drew explained to uess Adele ith theh she doesn’t play She probably chased after theht dinner had been a study in weirdness Adele tried to talk to hi Drew really personal questions while virtually ignoring e vibe, kept pace with a constant full glass of wine and was slurring his words by the end of the night

I gladly escaped right after theI was tired from midterms and all those papers I had to write, which was a coe Drew pled the sauesthouse and to our respective rooht I would instantly fall asleep but I didn’t I laid awake for over an hour, thinking about Drew and the crazy falance at the screen

At a restaurant at Sixth and Ocean I need to get out of here I’ll wait outside for you

Looks like I need to go rescuefather

Drew

Thearound inbreath I wait outside the restaurant, telling Dad I needed to use the phone, when really I just wanted to wait for Fable

And get away fro at h ponytail, revealing her rounded cheeks, her pert nose and her rosebud lips The h not just pretty…

Fable’s hot Sexy as hell with a fine body that I’ve seen in various stages of undress since we’ve been staying at the guesthouse I caught her in a towel thiswhen she snuck out of the bathroom and darted across the hall into her room She didn’t even see me

But I saw her All that creamy, dewy bared skin on display that made me want to chase after her Haul her in close and feel her wrap aroundherthat sets my skin on fire I try irls, but Fable’s already getting under ht jeans and an oversized black sweater, she looks good enough to eat And I never think like that Ever She’s s that are so

In other words, Fable leaves me in a constant state of confusion

"Here I a only to my chest, she’s so short I could scoop her up, toss her over my shoulder and carry her out of here, no problem "Ready to rescue you"

Code word marshmallow hasn’t been used yet, so I’m pleased at how fast she co particularly bad or yelling He just won’t stop asking me questions about my future Stuff I can’t answer because I have no clue what’s going to happen

I finally couldn’t take it anymore and texted marshmallohen I made a bathroom escape

Now here she was Ready to whiskhard on you?"

"No, I just…don’t want to answer all of his questions"

"Oh" That one single non-word is loaded with all sorts of questions itself None I can answer either

"Did you like looking at all the stores?" That’s what girls did Shop, spend h I don’t think Fable really has much to spend Well, she did if she wanted to blow thatit to take care of her brother

The noble barmaid named Fable Sounds like a story out of a modern fairytale

"The shops here are way too expensive for my taste" She wrinkles her nose, which is cute as hell "I can’t afford to look inside, let alone think about buying anything I’m not really a shopper anyway"

So what does she like to do besides hang out at the beach? I know nothing about this girl What I do know, I don’t much understand We’re complete and total opposites in prettyyour off tiely and I feel like an idiot "You know, like hobbies or whatever"

She bursts out laughing "I don’t have time for hobbies I used to like to read"

"Used to?"

"I’ care ofup around our place, I always end up totally exhausted and when I fall into bed, I’aze cuts away from mine
