X looks to Tyra. Tyra lifts a shoulder as if to saygo ahead.
"We're going to the lake, want to come?"
Maria and Nicole come into the cafeteria, making my mind up for me. Their eyes find mine and I quickly look away.
"Hell yeah I do. When do we leave?"
* * *
"Whoa,"I say, staring at the giant expanse of water in front of me as I climb out of a jeep.
When they said lake, I expected a small private lake. I did not expect it to be so big I can hardly see the shore on the other end of the water. There's a small building with bathrooms, showers, and changing rooms. A few picnic tables under covered shade sit at the edge of a sandy beach which is clearly manmade.
X chuckles and tosses me a bikini. "Come on, let's go change."
I follow her and Tyra into the women's bathroom, strip, and pull on the suit. Surprisingly, it fits pretty well. I have to tie the top tight because X is more blessed than I am when it comes to boobs.
"Ready?" Tyra asks with a smile when I come out of the changing room.
X whistles. "Damn girl, you hid all that in those pants?"
I burst out laughing and cock a hip. "What can I say, I like cake."
She winks at me. "Well that cake you're working with is going to make the boys drool. You're lucky we're not into them, otherwise I'd probably want to gouge your eyes out."
"Please," I say, looking her up and down. "You're both fucking gorgeous. I'd kill to have boobies like that."
X grabs herself. "They come in handy, but they're a bitch when I run."
Tyra snorts. "You should have seen the time she forgot a sports bra. I thought she was going to get a black eye."
Shooting a scathing look at her friend, X flips her off. Tyra makes a snotty face in return.
They're a lot of fun, definitely more entertaining than Nicole and Maria.
"Baaaaaabbbbeeeeeee!" one of the guys screams outside the door.
Tyra sighs. "Zander's a bit of a drama queen. Let's go before he comes in here."
She opens the door and shoves Zander's chest. He stumbles back, mouth opening in exaggerated outrage.
"Excuse you. I was standing there."
"If you want to play dress up, we can later." Tyra sways her hips and heads to the beach, oblivious to how Zander can't pull his eyes from her ass.
X snorts. "You're drooling." She pats his cheeks before running to catch up with Tyra.
Zander looks at me, quirking his brow. "What? No snarky comments?" His curly brown hair is unruly but he’s pretty cute.
"Why don't you ask her out?" I ask, wrinkling my eyebrows together. "Or are you too much of a pansy?"
He narrows his eyes. "I thought you were going to be cool." He turns and heads to the beach.
"No one likes a pussy, Zander!" I sing-song his name.
His arm shoots up and he lifts his middle finger, telling me exactly what he thinks about my commentary.
I chuckle and walk across the hot sand. I hate big bodies of water like this, but I can handle being about calf deep before I start to freak out. One of the other guys falls in step with me.
