“Are they finally fucking?” Sawyer questioned, rushing into her room with Cain right on his heels.
Cain took one look at us and shook his head. “Bro, what the ever loving fuck? You’re rubbing her head like a pussy with no outcome of a blowie?”
“He’s my best friend,” she replied. “It isn’t like that for us and you know it… You all know it.”
“Whatever.” Ashton walked over to the balcony, stayed there for a few seconds and when he turned back around, his cock was standing at attention.
“Dude,” Sawyer acknowledged what we were all thinking while Mila ducked her face into the crook of my arm. “Why are you hard right now?”
He gazed down at his dick and shrugged it off. “Fucking Viagra.”
“Care to elaborate,” I asked, confused by what was going on. Considering it was Ashton, what the fucks were nothing new.
“Well… what had happened was, I brought back the chick I was hanging out with last night and we were making out, all was good. Her tits were nice, her pussy wet—”
“Ashton!” Mila interrupted. “I don’t need the play by play.”
“Fine. I pulled out a condom about to make her see God and she proceeds to tell me she’s an escort and it’s going to be a thousand dollars.”
We all busted out laughing, including Mila. I laughed so hard my stomach hurt and my eyes got watery.
“Yo!” Ashton hollered. “You insensitive assholes!”
“You had sex with a hooker?” Cain exclaimed, holding his stomach from laughing as hard as we all were.
“No… I don’t have that kind of money. I offered her a hundred bucks and she slapped me and left.” He pointed to his cock. “And this is the result of no sex and a fifty milligram Viagra. I’m gonna be hard all day. But you know what? I’ve got a nice dick. I’m embracing it.”
Sawyer chuckled. “You’re going to get arrested for indecent exposure and I don’t have bail money.”
“I got Leo. His parents are loaded.”
“I’m not calling my parents to bail you and your cock out of jail, dickwad.”
“You know what? I don’t appreciate you guys’ tones. I’m going down to the beach to find a woman that’s not an escort and who would love to ride my dick. For free.”
Once the boys left, Mila announced, “And those are the best friends you’re going to live a lonely life for.”
“What’s your deal with the pact? It’s never bothered you before.”
“It doesn’t bother me now.”
“I beg to differ, you’re on my balls about it.”
She sat up. “I’m not on your balls about anything, Leo. I just think it’s kinda stupid, and a little selfish. What happens if Ashton goes out there and finds the love of his life? What happens if Sawyer and Cain find theirs? Everyone is just supposed to choose this pact you made on a whim, when we were kids, over love? I just don’t get it and I don't want to see my best friend die alone. Is that so bad?”
“I’m not gonna die alone. I have the boys and you’re gonna be in the nursing home with me, annoying the shit outta me, kinda like you are right now.”
I stood up and she grabbed my arm.
—Mila—
“Hey! I’m not trying to bust your balls. I just… I see all these great qualities in you, okay? I know you’d make someone really happy one day if you’d let that guard down and allow it.”
“What guard? I don’t have a guard.”
“Are you joking? You have it up right now and I’m your best friend.”
“Lala, you’re hungover and you’re confusing your emotions with mine. I don’t want a girlfriend, I don’t want to get married, and there is no part of me that wants to deal with that bullshit.”
“Right… Why would you when you have your parents running your life for you?” He jerked back, and I instantly regretted my choice of words.
“Wow. Tell me how you really feel.”
“I’m just saying—”
“I’m going to head down to the beach. Feel better, all right?”
“Leo…”
He backed away and left and I spent the rest of the morning in bed weaning off my hangover, trying to figure out what made me say those things to him. After I started feeling somewhat normal, I took a shower, ate a little a bit of food, and then I went in search of him. When I found Leo, he was laying on a lounger with his arms behind his head. Some girl was straddling his waist.
He looked happy.
Content.
Maybe I was wrong?
Maybe this was what he wanted, and I couldn’t fault him for that. Taking a deep breath, I walked away…
But there was still a tiny piece of me that knew Leo deserved more than what he was settling for.
Chapter 4
—Mila—
“Hey, you ready?” Leo asked, walking into the en-suite bathroom in my bedroom of our rental house in Cancun a couple of days later.
“Yeah, I will be in like five minutes. Just finishing up my makeup.”
“You don’t need makeup.”
“You’ve been saying that since I was thirteen.”
“And I will continue to say it until I no longer have to wait for you to do your makeup.”
I smiled, looking at him through the mirror. We had three days left on the island, and I was soaking up everything I could. Finals were just around the corner and they were going to kick my ass. I was excited to graduate with my bachelor’s degree in psychology and start the next chapter of my life though. I had yet to tell my parents or Leo I’d been applying to out of state schools for my graduate program. I wanted a change of scenery.
A drastic one.
I was born and raised in Tennessee and I was ready for a different vibe.
“Can you hurry your ass up? The guys are ready.”
“Where are we going again?”
“Not sure. Ashton said something about a local having a party at their house.”
“Huh, so we’re going to a stranger’s house in a foreign country?”
“Precisely, so hurry up.”
Through the mirror, I nodded to him. “Can you grab my necklace? It’s in the drawer by the bed.”
While I waited for him to help me put on my jewelry, I finished my eyeliner. Deciding at the last second to do a wing so it would accentuate my dark brown eyes.
“Is this one of those lip plumper’s I see on Instagram ads?”
I didn’t pay his question any mind until I heard a loud buzzing sound coming from the bedroom.
Oh dear God no…
Dropping the liner onto the counter, I darted into the room, watching in horror as Leo had my Sona 2 Cruise vibrator clit suction on his lips.
I didn’t even clean it after I used it an hour ago!
“Not that drawer!” I shouted with wide eyes, my face already burning bright red.
“What?”
“It’s for a different set of lips, you idiot!”
He cocked his head to the side, eyeing me curiously. Not understanding what I meant.
