Chapter 6

Lori ran over to the docks leaving Nick and AJ arguing. She didn’t even want to be over there
when that discussion was over. She ran out onto the docks and said, “Hello? Anyone there?”

“We’re fine!” Lori squinted her eyes and noticed that Jenn and Kevin were the ones in the
water. They struggled to swim over to the docks and Lori helped them out of the water.

“You guys! You could have drowned!” Lori said laughing at the same time she was trying to
sound concerned. “What’s wrong with you guys?”

“We’re drunk,” Kevin said putting his arm around Jenn.

“I can see that,” Lori replied crossing her arms. “Let me help you guys to a bedroom. I think it’s
bedtime for both of you.” She started walking up to the house with them, when Nick stands in
front of her stopping her from continuing.

Lori saw AJ start walking with Jenn and Kevin up to the house. “Nick, I can totally explain what
you saw,” she started.

“Look, AJ already told me everything,” Nick said. “Look, I understand because you and AJ have
a past and I guess I was wrong in assuming that we might be able to share something.”

“Nick, look, tonight was crazy, but all I thought all night was how I wanted to be dancing with you
and how I wanted to spend time with you, not Alex,” Lori said. “Please give me another chance.”

“Lori, I can’t do it. I’m sorry. You go on with your life and I go on with mine, okay?” Nick replied
turning around. He started walking up to the house.

“Wait, Nick,” Lori said running after him. “I don’t want us to be on bad terms, okay? Can we be
friends?”

“Sure. Sounds good to me,” Nick said giving me that Carter smile and gave me a hug. “I think
that it might be better that way anyway.”

“Me too,” Lori said, putting her arm around him as they walked up to the house together.

Jenn rolled over the next morning and noticed that someone was in the bed with her. Once she
saw who it was she screamed as loud as she could. “Oh my God! What the hell are you doing in
bed with me?” She threw the sheet around her and jumped out of the bed. She grabbed a vase
that was sitting on the nightstand beside the bed and was prepared to use it as a weapon.
Kevin laid there naked on the bed in the sun. Jenn couldn’t help but notice how muscular he
still was. “Damn he looks good. No. No, he’s a prick!” she thought to herself.

“Hey, dumbass! Wake up!” she screamed at him. She poked him with the vase and he finally
started to arouse from dreamland.

“What the hell?” Kevin said. “Where am I and what am I doing in bed with you?”

“Good question, asshole!” Jenn exclaimed. “I just asked that myself.”

“Whoa!” Kevin said. He just noticed that he was naked. He pulled his boxer briefs on and
paced about the room trying to remember any of what went on the night before. All he
remembered was him and Jenn in the limo on the way over to AJ’s house getting into the mini
bar. Everything after that was a blur.

“Where are our clothes?” Jenn asked after she looked around the room.

“I have no clue,” Kevin replied.

“Look, Kevin. I don’t even want to know why we are naked, why we are in bed together, and
where our clothes are. Just do something about it,” Jenn said.

“I’ll go find our clothes. You wait here,” Kevin said heading over to the door. “Put the vase
down, Jesus!” With that he quickly exited the room and went to find someone that would know
where his clothes were.

Kevin walked into the kitchen to find Lori making herself something to eat. “Ooh Kevin. Thank
you for gracing my presence with your body! Grr,” she said wiggling her eyebrows.

“Haha! You shouldn’t even be looking at me! You’re seventeen!” Kevin said trying to hide
himself with a pillow off of the couch.

“Oh please Kevin, I’ve seen a naked man before you, sorry,” Lori said rolling her eyes.
“Besides, who do you think helped you and Jenn take off your wet clothes? AJ sure as hell
wasn’t going to do it.”

“You know where my clothes are?” Kevin asked. “Jenn needs hers too.”

“They’re in the laundry room, if ya can find it,” Lori replied sitting down at the table to eat. As
Kevin exited, AJ entered.

“I’m surprised you’re up so early this morning,” Lori said.

“Yeah, I couldn’t sleep a lot,” AJ replied. He looked in the direction that Kevin scrambled off to
and asked, “Was that Kevin running around in his underwear?”

“Yeah, fraid so, Alex,” Lori replied giggling.

“Hey, look, Nick told me that you guys called it quits last night. I feel really awful. I’m really
sorry,” AJ said.

“Um, it’s okay because we decided we would be better off as friends anyway,” she replied
giving him a smile.

“Look, I just hope that you aren’t under the impression that I am just going to leave Marissa
right off the bat, I mean…” AJ started.

“Wait a minute! I don’t want a relationship with you Alex! For the last time!” Lori exclaimed. “I
swear you are so fucking weird! Go ahead and continue fucking Marissa and leave me the fuck
alone, already! God!!” Lori went to the front door and left the house. AJ watched her go.
