Chapter 64

Jake

Has there ever been a more tormented male than me? I’ve asked myself that question a billion times tonight.

Sighing, I glance up from my spot around the fire, clenching the red cup in my hand that isn’t filled with anything but water. I haven’t had alcohol tonight, but someone else has…

“Look at this dance move!” Winnie shouts and throws off her hoodie to practice doing some weird belly dance. Seriously?

Now she is losing her clothes?!

Gah!

I hate this. Winnie is tipsy and having too much fun dancing with Cindi and the other girls in front of the fire. She doesn’t seem to realize watching her is turning me on. I can’t wait to get alone with her, but we won’t leave the woods tonight if she keeps drinking.

It’s such a shame.

The weather forecast promised thunder, so I thought it would be nice to sleep at a hotel. Winnie doesn’t normally like thunderstorms, but looking at her now,

I’m unsure if she wants to leave…

“Jake, Jake, Jake!” Winnie shouts from the other side of the fire when she notices me looking at her. There is a huge grin on her face. “You should come and dance with us too!”

“You expect me to dance?”I arch an eyebrow, close to laughing at my drunk girlfriend.

Winnie has this drunk look on her face now, but Cindi is even worse off. She can barely stand up straight and wears a big smile. It baffles me how quickly she bonded with Winnie after a few glasses.

“Come on, it will be fun!” Winnie promises me and flicks her finger back and forth to motion for me to come. “I know you wanna come here! Come and put your hands on me and dance with me!

“Nah… I don’t like to dance… I rather sit here…” I tell her teasingly, knowing she will pout at me.

“No, come here!”

“Nope.”
