CHAPTER TWO
ZANDER
Over the years, I was at their home so much they probably should have charged my parents for room and board.
Didn’t matter how often Victoria treated me like shit. I still felt the need to be near her. I loved watching her tan poolside. I’d pretend to swim but really my eyes rolled over her porcelain skin. I drank her in like a cold soda. At sixteen, she filled out in all the right places. Let’s just say, she was the star of my wet dreams for years.
My thoughts drifted back to the party. “Amanda, I need to make sure no one is drowning in the pool. See you later. I walked away not waiting for her to respond. Sipping the vodka, I scoured the lavish halls, pushing through the sea of partiers, searching for Victoria.
The warm, night air stuck to the back of my neck like glue the moment I stepped onto the stone-paved patio. Atlanta summers were brutal. I wasn’t looking forward to the winters in New Jersey. I peered across the grounds into the glass pool house.
Girls splashing in the Olympic sized pool, playing beach ball, broke my focus. Holding red cups high, they danced around the edge of the pool.
“Hey!” I pointed.
The tech geek sitting on the lounge chair looked around, then slammed his finger into his chest. His dark brows rose.
“Yeah, you come here.”
“What’s up Z?” He smiled brightly.
I frowned. “You’re not my friend.”
My eyes narrowed. “You don’t get to call me Z. It’s Zander to you.”
“Now, I’m not sure how you got into my party, but if you want to stay, you have to watch these drunk fucks. Enlist your buddy over there to help. If you don’t want the job, I’ll make sure you don’t get invited to my going away party.”
“Zander, Lizard and I can handle it.”
“Cool.”
I continued across the lush yard, entering the side door of the pool house. The lights from the pool cascaded through the living room. There she was. Vicky’s back was to the pool. Legs crossed in her hot pink halter dress, she sat on the white leather sofa.
“Vicky, why are you here?”
Her red lips curled. “I live here, remember.”
“Cut the shit. What game are you playing?”
Her blue eyes sparkled. “Waiting for you, Zander.”
“Oh, like you were when I was fourteen. You yanked my swim trunks down around my ankles, snapped pics, and sent them to your friends. If you wanted to see the size of my dick all you had to do was ask.” My eyebrow arched.
She licked her lips. “I have a proposition for you.”
“What is it,” I sighed.
Women like Victoria only chewed up and spit out nice guys.
“This summer I’ll allow you to fuck me before you go off to college. Get me out of your system. Don’t ever think about me again.”
“Get the fuck out of here, Vicky.” I walked toward the door.
“I’m serious, Zander.”
I turned. “What changed?”
She stood fingers circling her opposite arm. “Maybe I’m a little curious.”
