“I don’t know.” I hate the doubt in my best friend’s voice.
“I can’t imagine doing this without him”
“I know what you mean,’ I admit, my voice soft, my thoughts filled with Easton.
Everything is coming together so perfectly.
I got accepted to my dream school and so did my boyfriend.
Not only that, he’s going to UCLA with me.
Life seriously can’t get much better than this.
I’m getting everything I could ever want.
Feels like there’s a catch somewhere and I’m missing it.
Is the bottom going to fall out? What if I can’t afford to go to UCLA? My grades are good.
I know I’ll get a few scholarships, but will they be enough to make a difference?
“What are you two talking about?” Ryan asks as they both approach our table.
I send Sadie a meaningful look, hoping she gets what I’m implying.
This is the perfect opportunity for her to mention college and if they’re going together.
“Oh nothing,’ she answers, oblivious.
She grabs the soda Ryan bought for her and she takes a sip.
“Just about school”
“School? Like…college?” Easton asks.
Ooh thank you Easton, I think to myself.
He just brought it up for us.
Sadie’s eyes go wide, and they’re full of panic.
“Yeah, I say.
“Sadie’s going to Chico State”
“I got into Chico State,’ Ryan says, his focus solely on his phone.
I glare at him.
So does Sadie.
“You going there?” Easton asks.
My brother shrugs.
“Maybe”
I roll my eyes.
Sadie looks like she wants to throttle him.
“What are you guys doing here?” All four of our heads swivel in the direction of the familiar voice to find Blake standing by our table, a smile on his face.
“Eating, dipshit,” Ryan says.
“You should join us”
“Don’t mind if I do”
Blake slides onto the booth seat, right next to me, and I end up plastered to Easton’s side.
His body is tense.
I’m sure he doesn’t like Blake sitting next to me, but he’s totally harmless.
“What’s going on tonight, kids?” Sadie giggles, at the kids remark I’m sure.
“We’re talking about college.
Celebrating Easton and Harper’s big win”
“Big win?” Blake turns his attention to us.
“What is she talking about?”
“I got into UCLA!” I announce, the excitement still flowing in my veins.
“And so did I,’ Easton adds.
“No shit?” Blake glances from me to Easton.
“Congrats”
“You still headed to San Diego State?” I ask.
He nods.
“Oh for sure.
That’s my dream school.
Can’t wait to spend all my time at the beach”
“That sounds cool.
Congrats,’ Ryan says.
“Thanks.” Blake stares into my eyes, his expression serious.
“You two going to UCLA together then? I thought Easton would wind up at Stanford”
“Change of plans.” Easton angles his body in Blake’s direction, draping his arm across my shoulders.
A public claiming, I’m sure.
“I’m just following my girl”
“That’s great,” Blake says, his voice weak.
“Uh, I’m gonna go grab some food.
I’ll be right back.” I watch him slide out of the booth, noting his somber attitude.
What’s up with that?
Easton
It’s the weekend and my parents are out of town so that calls fora celebration.
What exactly we’re celebrating, I’m not sure.
But do we need to have a reason to party? I dont think so.
I’m dragging a cooler out on the back patio when my first guests show up, all three of them strolling into my back yard.
Harper, Sadie and Ryan.
“Hope you have lots of booze tonight!” Sadie does a little shimmy, hip checking my girlfriend and nearly sending her toppling over.
“Plenty for you Sadie,’ I tell her, extending my arm toward Harper and pulling her to me, delivering a quick kiss to her lips.
“Hey beautiful”
She smiles, her hand resting on my chest.
“I will never get tired of hearing you say that”
“Gag.” This comes from Ryan, who’s watching us with a scowl on his face.
“You two disgust me”
“Stop being such a grouch”
Sadie lightly slaps Ryan’s arm.
“You should be happy right now”
“Is there a specific reason why he should be happy?” Harper asks, her gaze questioning.
“We discussed it a couple of nights ago and…Ryan and I are going to college together!” Sadie throws both arms up in the air, her expression triumphant.
“Oh my God!” Harper pulls away from me to wrap her best friend up ina hug.
“I’m so excited for you!”
“I’m excited too.” Sadie hugs her back.
“And so is Ryan.
Right Ryan?”
“Sure, Ryan says automatically.
Hmm.
I wonder if that’s true.
Soon after they arrive, all sorts of people start to show up.
Someone starts playing music and it’s fucking loud.
A couple of girls brought giant platters of food from a local Mexican restaurant and everyone starts eating.
Harper and Sadie are hanging out, dancing to the music with giant smiles on their faces and I can’t stop staring at my girlfriend.
She looks extra hot tonight in those short denim shorts and the tight shirt that shows off her tits.
Her hair keeps getting in her face and she keeps batting it away, laughing at whatever Sadie says as she keeps shaking her ass.
Harper catches me staring and flashes one of those shy smiles that make my dick hard.
I take a sip from my beer, my gaze never leaving her even when I feel someone approach.
“You really love my sister, don’t you?” I glance over at Ryan who’s standing directly beside him.
“More than anything else in this world”
He takes a sip from his beer.
“I cant believe you gave up Stanford for her”
“Not like it was a hardship,” I drawl.
Ryan rolls his eyes.
“Besides, UCLA is an excellent school.”
“Your parents cool with you changing your plan?”
“It was never my plan.
It was always my dad’s.
He never asked me once what I wanted to do.
He just assumed I would follow in his footsteps.
For most of my life, I figured I’d do the same,’ I explain.
Ryan takes a step closer to me, his voice lowering.
“Tell me the truthdid you switch it up just for Harper?” It started the end of my junior yearthe realization that law school didn’t interest me at all.
I couldnt imagine spending the next seven or eight years of my life going to college and law school.
Of coming to work for my father and eventually take over the business.
That sounded like a nightmare.
Deep down, I didn’t want to disappoint my father or cause a fight, so I kept my mouth shut.
The next thing I know, I’m applying to Stanford with my father sitting right beside me, going on and on about my chances and how I would be a legacy, carrying the family tradition on.
I usually do whatever the fuck I want, but for whatever reason, the idea of disappointing my parents about my future choicesspecifically my father freaked me out.
“I didn’t choose to go to UCLA only because of your sister,” I finally answer, my gaze still on her as she continues to dance with Sadie.
“But she helped make the decision easier for me.
