Two [Shane Told] I Would Wait Forever
Chapter 5 : Five [Shane Told] I Would Wait Forever
I made sure to look my best before going over to Kyle's house. She told me we'd chill with some of her friends, but I had no idea who that implied. Cute boys? A possibility. That's why I made sure to look my best.
"And just who are you prettying up for?" Matt asked, leaning against the doorframe of the bathroom as I styled my hair.
"No one in particular. I'm meeting some new people. Come with me?" I asked, turning to make eye contact that wasn't through a reflection.
"Was I invited?"
"You just were, dummy. Let's go."
My brother and I traveled the excruciating twenty feet to the house across the street from ours. I rang the doorbell, and braced myself for Mrs. Abbott's bright 'Welcome! Come on in, make yourselves at home!' Luckily for us, it was her daughter who let us in.
Matt and Kyle introduced themselves to each other. I thought it was kind of funny because I knew Matt found Kyle to be attractive.
"I hope you guys brought bathing suits," she warned as we all sat around the livingroom, her parents clearly not home. "We're going to the lake."
"Ah, sweet!" Matt exclaimed. "It's way too hot to not go to the lake."
"Do you need to go back to your house to get some shorts?" Kyle asked him.
"Nah, I've got some on under these-" he tugged at his jeans- "that will do."
"I do need to go get my suit," I told her. I hadn't expected to go to the lake that day, but it sounded like a fun time.
"Jenna, you can wear my other one. Change in my room- bikini in top drawer, tank top in second, just grab what ever you need."
I nodded, and headed upstairs. I kind of liked how Kyle was comfortable sending me up to her room alone even though she barely knew me. I liked that she trusted me.
I did as she said and got into her top drawer. I would have been embarrassed about sifting through her bras and underwear, but I didn't feel the need to since she obviously wasn't embarrassed about it. I also got a tank top and some cut-off jean shorts to wear over the suit, and changed right there in the middle of her room, kicking my clothes to the corner. I noticed a collection of accessories gathered atop the dresser, and grabbed a hair rubber to hold a ponytail at the crown of my head.
Coming down the stairs, I heard laughter from more mouths than I'd left down there. As the crowd came into view I saw Matt, Kyle, Kyle's boyfriend, and a boy and a girl I'd never seen before.
Kyle, the one hosting all these guests, made sure we were each acquainted with one another.
"Guys, whis is Jenna- she moved in across the street with Matt. And this is Shane and Paul and Kim," she said, finishing off with the two people I hadn't met.
The car that the newcombers had arrived in was tiny, with two doors and not much leg room. With only five seats and six bodies, I ended up in the back with Matt and Shane and Paul, sitting on Paul's lap while Kyle sat up front with her best friend.
"Well hello Paul," I said with a smile. I couldn't remember the last time I'd sat on a complete strangers lap, if I ever had. But it was either that lap or my brother's or Kyle's boyfriend, so this was obviously the best choice.
"Hi Jenna," Paul said back to me. "This is one way to get to know a person, huh?" he laughed.
"Yeah, I guess so." I laughed too and Shane, who was sitting next to us, rolled his eyes and turned his head the other way. I screwed up my face, wondering what the hell his problem was.
"Don't worry about him- he's just PMSing," Paul informed me, patting Shane's thigh.
"Dude. Don't touch me," Shane snapped. It was the first time I'd ever heard him speak, and in my head his grouchy upheaval echoed back and forth.
Paul, who was in a much lighter mood, just flashed a smile he didn't get in return.
I was a little surprised to see that Kyle did not try to comfort Shane oranything. But I was not one to judge the way their relationship worked, and let it go.
"So how far is it to the lake?" I asked whoever would answer.
Kim beat everyone else to it and said, "Not far at all." While she drove she messed around with the radio dial until she came across a song she and Kyle could both sing along to, and my very tactful brother actually got Shane interested in a story about the last time he went to the lake.
"God damn, you have a bony ass," Paul said, and put his hands on my hips to maneuver me around on his lap, to place me in a more comfortable position on his lap.
In protest I wiggled around, intentionally rubbing my butt up against him.
"Whoa, watch the goods!" he admonished. I stopped abruptly in fear that I was injuring his male parts, and blushed when I felt his erection and realized it wasn't hurting him that was the issue.
"Sorry," I laughed, but said nothing about his condition to save him the embarrassment, if that's what he would have felt.
Finally we stopped near the water's edge and the six of us lumbered out of the vehicle. The trunk was popped open and an ice chest was pulled out, revealing a couple bottles of water and several cans of beer.
"Let the party begin!" Paul announced.
