Chapter 3

Mid October 2007

"Hey babe!" Dick grabbed her hand while he pushed between two guys. "I've been looking for you everywhere."

Mac pulled her hand from his grasp. "Leave me alone." Being a smaller female, she was able to skirt around people and leave him calling after he. Unfortunately, she stumbled into Logan near the door to the Pi Sig house.

"Hey Mac! That boyfriend of yours was looking for you." Logan grinned down at her.

Mac scowled at him. "What boyfriend?"

His face fell. "What happened?"

"I'm an idiot. That's what happened." Mac looked to her right to see Dick pushing through the crowd. She quickly moved to the left and out the front door.

July 4, 2007

Mac stood in the penthouse waiting on both Logan and Dick to finish getting ready. They had persuaded her to go with them to a big party on the beach. Wearing her dark blue halter-top bikini with jean shorts and a gray tank top over. She had brought an addition dress cover-up in her beach bag along with sunblock and other essentials.

Logan came out of his bedroom. "I'm ready."

"Well, we are just waiting on Dick now. I don't understand how it takes you two so long to get dressed."

"I don't know about Logan, but it's my hair." Dick stated as he came out of his bedroom.

"Really?" Mac was confused. "It looks like you just rolled out of bed."

Dick shot a finger gun at her. "Exactly. It takes a lot of effort to make it look effortless."

They arrived at the beach to a huge blow out. Mac was overwhelmed by all the people in swimsuits gathered around and the music blasting. She wasn't sure how she was going to make it through the day.

"Come one guys. I reserved us an umbrella and chairs." Dick gestured for everyone to follow.

Mac was grateful for the spot Dick had gotten some teenage boy to commandeer for them in exchange for a twelve pack of beer. She sat her bag down and looked around.

Dick saw Mac's expression and knew she was stressing about being at this large a party. "Hey Mackie. Want a beer or…" He pulled out a bottled margarita and held it up for her to see. She had mentioned how her mom and her drink pitchers of margaritas together all the time.

"I think you know what I want." She took the margarita from him with a smile. "Thanks Dick."

He felt proud of himself for doing something right and mentally gave himself a pat of the back. Dick took his shirt off and picked up a bottle of sunblock. He began applying the lotion to his chest and arms as he looked around to see if he could find anyone her knew. "Hey Mac. Can you get my back for me?"

Mac turned back from the where she was people watching. "Yeah sure." She sat on one of the loungers with her legs to both sides and had Dick sit in front of her.

Dick was enjoying having Mac rub the lotion on his back. Over the years, Dick had learned how to cover his back himself, but getting a girl to do it was so much better. He noticed that she didn't just lather it on and then wipe her hands clean, but actually made sure she had it rubbed in. He relaxed under her touch.

Mac wiped her hands down his back and then patted it. "Okay your done." She turned to Logan. "Logan, do you need some on your back?"

He shook his head. "I'm not planning on taking my shirt off."

Mac put the bottle on the little table next to her chair and stood up. "So what exactly do you do at a party like this?"

At that moment a group of drunk college guys walked by while play fighting. One knocked into another causing him to throw his cold beer all over Mac's front.

Mac jumped at the sudden freezing drinking landing on her chest, stomach, and legs. "Cold. Cold. Cold."

Dick and Logan were up and between Mac and the guys. "Watch what your doing." Logan pushed the guy back.

"Sorry. That was a major party foul on our part." One of the guys from the back of the group came up obviously trying to smooth things over.

Dick noticed the guys elbowing one another and pointing behind him. When he turned around he saw Mac had removed her shirt and was pulling off her shorts. He was in awe at how toned and amazing her body was. He also wondered why she chooses to hide her body away if that is what she was working with. It took him a moment to unglue his eyes from her.

The spokesman for the group pushed past Dick and came to stand in front of Mac. "Hi. I'm Chad. I just wanted to apologize for my idiot friends. They can get a little stupid when they drink."

Mac gave him a slight smile. "Thanks. I appreciate that." She picked up the sunblock and began rubbing it in to the newly exposed skin.

"Do you need someone to put some of that on your back?" Chad offered.

"Actually, I think one of them can handle it. Thanks." She pointed at Dick and Logan.

Dick was getting very agitated at this stupid pretty boy who had the nerve to come up and hit on a girl who was obviously here with him and Logan. He also was getting mad at the way all of them were leering at Mac and wanted to put a stop to it, so he walked up behind Mac and took the sunblock and began to rub it into her back as she pulled her long hair up and out of the way.

"I gotcha babe." He gave Chad a look that told him to find a new place to be and fast.

After they left Mac turned her head. "Thanks Dick. Make sure you get some under the strap."

Dick ran his hand between the back of her bikini top and her skin. He also noticed that as a young red-blooded American male, he was also having a hard time not showing everyone how excited he was to be touching Mac. Once he was done, Dick quickly sat down to hide his situation before Mac could notice. But when he looked over at Logan, he saw a smirk on his face, which told Dick that Logan, had noticed his predicament. So Dick did the only thing he could do, he flipped him off, which only resulted in Logan laughing hysterically.

A couple of hours later and a few margaritas in, Mac found herself in the dancing area in front of the DJ booth. There were at least 100 people packed into the space. Dick was dancing like a goofball and making her laugh. Mac didn't think she would be having this much fun.

If someone had told her last summer that she would be living it up with Logan Echolls and Dick Casablancas at the beach party, then she would have thought they were smoking some tainted crack.

Two hands slide onto her bare stomach and Mac felt what was obviously an excited guy grind into her backside. She wanted to pull away but instead stopped moving and froze for a split second.

Before she got the ability to move back, Dick pulled her towards him so her back was now pressed against him and out of the other guys grasp. "Hey dude, go find your own dance partner. She's taken." He took her hand and twirled her in a circle so she was now facing him.

"Thanks."

"You looked a little panicked. I thought you might of needed some help."

"Normally I would say I could handle myself, but this time you were right. I've never had some random guy just put his hands on me like that before." At that moment Mac realized she was pressed against Dick with one of his arms wrapped around her and they were dancing to the music. She also realized that her hands were resting on his sides just above the waistband of his swim trunks. "I think I'm in need of some more libations."

"Sounds like a good plan. Let's go."

Mac felt Dick's arms wrap around her waist and he lifted her off the ground as he pushed sideways through the crowd.

"I can walk Dick." She wrapped her arms around his neck to steady herself.

He gave her a goofy grin. "I don't want to lose you in the mass of people."

Making it to the edge of the crowd, Mac felt a pinch on her butt and jumped. She wrapped her legs around Dick's waist as she looked behind her at who could have done that. "Someone just pinched my ass!" When she looked back at Dick, she realized the position they were in and giggled at his shocked expression. "Um…sorry. It was an reflex?"

Dick had been enjoying dancing with Mac and when they went to leave the area, didn't want to risk another guy grabbing her so he picked her up, but to say he was shocked when she ended up wrapping her legs around his waist was an understatement. He was having trouble controlling himself dancing when she was pressed against him and he lost it when she jumped him. Now he had to figure out how to put her down without making an embarrassing situation worse. Then he realized there was no way to do that.

"So I would like to go ahead and apologize now, before I put you down."

Mac looked confused. "Um…why?"

Dick took a deep breath and silently begged his erection to go down, but as long as she was wrapped around him he knew it was futile. "You'll figure it out." He shook his head and lowered her to the ground as she slightly grazed his penis.

She was looking everywhere but at Dick. "So, yeah that just happened. Now I think I want that drink." Mac awkwardly turned and started walking back to the umbrella.

Dick looked towards the sky and thought of everything gross and unsexy as possible, while letting his situation go down enough that it wasn't as obvious and he followed Mac. He prayed that Logan wouldn't read what happened on their faces, but when he got there a little after Mac, she was avoiding looking at him. The situation in his shorts had gone down, but not completely and Logan of course noticed and proceeded to laugh at the awkwardness while his eyes shifted between Mac and him. So Dick did what he had to, he picked up an empty beer can and chunked it at Logan's head.

Mid July 2007

Dick and Logan had been pestering Mac to let them teach her how to surf all summer and she was finally giving in to a lesson. She arrived at the beach around eight in the morning, which she felt was an ungodly hour for a Sunday morning. Drinking her soy latte, Mac looked out into the waves and recognized her two buddies sitting on their boards. She waved to get their attention, then dropped her bag on the sand next to their things and sat down.

They came back to shore and stood their board up in the sand. Logan pulled out a woman's surf shirt from his bag. "I got this for Parker because she wanted me to teach her this summer, but as you know that didn't happen."

Mac stood up and removed her the cotton dress she threw on as cover up. She was in a cute black and white striped bikini that showed her tattoo off, which was something new she was getting comfortable doing. When she looked down, Mac noticed Dick's eyes scanning her. She blushed and was flattered by the way he was looking at her lately. And if she was being honest, she also kind of liked having him look at her like that. Pulling on the surf shirt, Mac kicked sand at Logan and Dick.

"Okay boys. Let's surf."

"Patience grasshopper." Logan stood up and patted her on the head. "You must first learn to pop."

After what felt like an hour on the shore learning how to position herself on the board and how to correctly pop up, Mac was bored. "When do I get to try this in the water, because this is getting redundant."

"Do you think you can handle it?" Dick asked her.

Mac picked up her water bottle and took a sip. "I can handle anything you got." She smirked at him when his mouth dropped at her double meaning. Mac splashed some of the cold water from her bottle at Dick. "You look like you needed to cool off."

Since she began hanging out with Logan and Dick, Mac found herself more laid back and just enjoying life. Before she would keep to herself and with her nose in a computer, but now she is experiencing more of the fun everyone told her she should be having. Even her mother noticed that she smiled and laughed more, instead of having a constant serious expression on her face.

She looked over at Logan who was chuckling, when all of a sudden she saw movement out of the corner of her eye and was being thrown over Dick's shoulder. Mac let out a girly scream.

"I think you need to cool off." Dick slapped her on the ass.

Mac slapped at his back. "What are you doing? Put me down." She could see Logan laughing harder as he began following behind them, but stopping at the water's edge.

Dick walked into the water up to his waist and then dropped her in.

In seconds Mac was up. "Oh you're a dead man!" She threw herself at him full force knocking him down into the water. They were laughing and splashing each other for several minutes.

"Ouch!" Mac cried. "That hurt."

Dick stopped playing around. "You okay?" His face became very serious.

Mac knocked him off his feet and he fell back into the water. She took off towards the shore, but looked back to see him pop back up. "Sucker!"
