AN: These last few days haven't been my best, shitty things are happening and I don't have the head to do anything, that's why it took long, I'm sorry, if this chapter has mistakes please let me know. ANYWAYS...enjoy the chapter!
Kate jumps looking for the bottom of her bikini placing it quickly to hide behind the sofa. However I stood there dazed, watching my erection cries of frustration.
-Castle, what are you waiting for? -. She tells me in a whisper.
I take a deep breath still upset and put my pants on caressing my friend to calm it.
I have it hard as a rock and I don't think that will change in a matter of seconds so I put a pillow on my lap.
Two seconds later David, Jim, Peter, Tom and Tony enter laughing.
-Ricky, there you are. We looked everywhere. This place really is huge -. Laughs Peter.
-Hey, what's going on here -. I say trying to sound calm and not at all bothered by the interruption.
All the guys approach.
-We were looking for you, because these guys here want a little more action, and well I told them about that beach party which we went ... ah how good it was huh? -. He tells me relishing -. I think they're celebrating the same festival just today.
-Lets see gentlemen I repeat here to everyone that you are all married. Except for Tony, of course. Besides, you want to go Jim? -. Shocked I say, Jim has always been pretty calm in that regard.
-No, God no. I'm just accompanying this bunch of pricks. You know I don't go to those things.
-Because you're a boring guy -. Laughs Tony. But Jim is not offended.
-Well, I'll see what I can do about it -. I say with a smile -. Guess that the one that dosn't want to go can stay here.
- What were you doing here anyway, you're the host -. Says funny David.
-Ah, you know, just ... I thought I could take a nap.
Tony laughs loudly.
-But if you don't take naps.
I start get nervous.
-Now I do. Too many hours writing. - I shrug -. Tiredness accumulates and then I never sleep enough.
- Or many hours in other activities -. Laughs Tony. - You remember that blonde chick with the big boobs?, that one made you stay up late ... - I open my eyes remembering that Kate is right there, and clearly doesn't need to know that information.
I feel that my friend in the south has realized that there will be no party so I stand.
-Ah but the bastard has the TV here ... - David says -. Do you have the sports channel?, this morning I missed the Sport Center -. He says sitting on the other sofa and taking the remote control.
- And this? -. Asks Jim picking Kate's towel.
-Oh, oh. I know you were doing here. - Tom laughs moving his hand up and down his crotch -. Now you could have done that when not so many people were here, perv . Do you have you channels for that or you put a movie?.
-Eh no -. I say snatching the remote control from David -. I don't have cable installed yet - I ignore the entire comment about Kate's towel. - Why don't you wait outside and I join the poker game in a moment?.
-Want to stay in the TV doing your thing right, bud?. Find yourself a real woman -. Tom says laughing.
I show him my middle finger, and everybody leaves still between laughs.
I notice that most of them are quite drunk, but of course that's what they had come to do here, have fun.
When they finally leave I turn and see Kate staring at me amazed.
She looks at me, still with panic on her face and I look at her with my hands on my waist.
And then we both started to laugh because of the nerves and because of the very bad luck.
I motioned for her not to laugh so hard.
This cannot keep happening -. Says Kate taking her towel. - II will die young -. Continuing placing a hand on her heart.
-I am going to die young, believe me -. I say running my hand through my crotch.
- Are you OK -. She asked biting her lip.
-No -. I say obfuscated and she approaches placing her hands on my shoulders.
-I'm sorry -. I put a face and approach my face to kiss her but she turns away.
-No, I have to go -. She whispers to me.
-Just one kiss, please. - I say pleadingly.
-Nope -. She laughs walking towards the door but I took her arm and pushed her against the door abruptly.
She looks at me amused and her eyes are fixed on my lips.
I attach my lips to hers in a quick and eager kiss. Which is much worse because I keep wanting more.
Her hand caresses my cheek and she smiles.
-By the way, a blonde with big boobs, such a cliché -. She said then placing her hands on my chest and finally leaving as I smile.
When I'm back out, I still feel hot and aroused, and moodiness also takes hold a little bit of me.
The smell of Castle's perfume mixed with his sweat still flood my nose and make me feel suffocated. I take a little of the wine that my mother is drinking and I try not to look at Castle when leaving the house a few minutes later. But it is impossible.
I look up and down his body and feel that my arousal grows and grows every second, holy shit, I get into the pool and try to freshen up, but not much. It is a very strange thing. It was as if our bodies simply could not be separated, as if our lips, our sexes, have the need to be together at every moment.
He looks at me and I can not look away, instead I support my elbows on the shore and it is he who looks away joining the poker game.
-Hey, having fun? -. My mother that had been joking with the other women approaches my side.
-I cannot complain.
-You didn't have to come if you didn't want to -. She tells me -. Guess you'd rather be with people your age.
I shrug.
-You know I love to spend the summer with you and Dad. I'm almost all year with people my age, and I see you only in summer and at Christmas.
-Aha ... - She says amused -. Then the reason why you're here is to be with your father and me. - There's something in her tone that fires all my alarms and I look away.
Her eyes look at me with amusement.
-Sure, why would it be?, apart from enjoying the beach and the new home of Ric ... I mean Castle.
She looks straight ahead and see her subtly smiling.
-No other reason occurs to me -. She looks at me pretending innocence.
- You want to ask me something? -. I say with my heart beginning to beat faster.
-No, do you want to ask me something?.
We looked at each other a few seconds and look away because I remember how good my mother is at reading my face.
-Nope -. I say frowning _.
-Okay -. She tells me with a sigh
-Okay -. I say looking the other way.
She looks at me sideways and I try not to panic.
Because deep down something tells me she knows. Oh hell.
The beach party is not as I pictured.
Actually I had imagined something quite unique, however, and apparently thanks to a festival being celebrated, there are all kinds of people here.
The wind moves my hair and the sea looks so calm at this hour when the sun is almost hidden. An almost ancestral music plays in the background and there are tents and people dancing and eating everywhere.
My parents had stayed at home with a couple of friends. I'm sure they wouldn't have felt very comfortable in this environment. And so I would have a free way, or more or less, to be with Castle. Because although they weren't here, there were still the friends that Castle had in common with my father. This situation was starting to annoy me.
Hey -. A guy I don't recognize approaches me -. Seems that you're not having fun a lot.
-I smile looking back the sea.
-It's not that, just ... a lot of things to think about.
-Ah. A thoughtful girl -. He said shoving his hands into his pockets -. Brand. -He says stretching his hand.
-Kate.
We both talked for a while, while others dance and have fun and I have no idea where Castle is.
Brandon seems to me a rather somewhat shy and reserved boy, but with a very nice smile. He asks me if I have a boyfriend and I say yes. He tells me it is normal, being so beautiful and I laugh.
-Hi -. Castle comes suddenly standing next to me and looking at Brandon with narrowed eyes.
I feel his hand placed possessively around my waist.
-Hey, where were you? -. I ask.
-I was doing some presentations.
-He is Brandon -. Castle still looks suspicious.
-Your father, I guess -. Says Brandon stretching hands and smiling amicably.
I do all my effort not to laugh and I feel like Castle clenches his jaw and then smiles falsely taking the boy's hand.
-No, I'm not her father.-He says squeezing his hand more than usual .-I'm her boyfriend.- He declares authoritatively.
-Oh god, I'm sorry ... is that, I thought ... I'm ...
Castle looks intimidating.
-It's all right -. I say trying to calm him down while I'm still trying not to laugh.
-Oh man. Nice to meet you ... Kate ... I'll go elsewhere. Excuse me.
-You better -. Nods Castle.
When the boy leaves red as a tomato I look at Castle.
-You did not have to treat him like that.
- "Your father?".
I chuckled.
-I thought you didn't like the word "boyfriend".
-I just needed to make that clear. I saw how he looked at you.
Sure -. I say pursing my lips .
-I've seen how everyone looked at you in this party.
-Don't be silly.
- Are you laughing?.
- What? No.
-Yes, you are laughing -. I finally laugh really loud unable to control myself.
The situation was pretty funny.
-Okay, that's it, that's it -. I say trying to get serious.
He looks at me seriously and then he smiles a little holding my hand.
-Let's take a walk.
While we were away, I feel like the crowd noise and music are back and as the sand gets between my fingers. It's cool to touch and I feel happy and relaxed by the sound of the sea.
-Rick -. I say when I intertwined his fingers with mine, when we are quite far apart.
- Yes?.
He turns staring. The wind ruffles his hair making him look much more handsome.
-I didn't told you this but ... today my mother told me something and, well, I think she knows.
- What?.
-Us.
I wait for his reaction, but he just stands there looking at me.
-God, you're so beautiful -. He says stroking my cheek.
- Did you hear what I said?.
He nods.
-Kate, the reason I've done this, come to the Hamptons, is because I don't want to keep hiding.
- What do you mean?.
-I mean that we will tell everything to your parents.
- Have you lost your mind? -. He chuckles and looks at the sea.
-That's exactly what happened to me. I have lost my mind, for you -. He says staring . And the thought of this ... being a passing thing ... - He shakes his head.
-Castle, when the summer ends I'll go back to co ...
-Shhh. -His fingers brush my lips. -I love you, Kate -. He says as if nothing -. I don't know how it has happened, but I love you, and when the summer ends I will continue loving you. And there's nothing you can do about it.
I stare at him not knowing what to say.
So just smile and I fuse with him in an embrace with my heart pounding my chest without stopping. His hard body meets mine and his arms tighten me hard.
-I love you, Rick -. I say closing my eyes with a sigh. Because I've wanted him since forever, and it is liberating to finally say it -. Which is why if we tell my parents ...
-Don't be afraid, Kate. Imagine being able to be together without hiding. Wouldn't that be great?.
-Well ... yes. But you have to accept that being hiding has a point ... - I say laughing and I feel how his chest moves when he laughs.
-I cannot wait to visit you tonight -. He says separating from my body to meet my eyes.
-Me neither ... - I put my hands under his shirt touching his hot skin -I feel like I need you like I need to breathe approaches his lips to mine and kisses me briefly.
After spending a while in that peculiar celebration, we go back to Castle's home and I see that some of those who have stayed are still around chatting, eating and drinking.
I greet my parents and tell them I'm dead and that I'll go to sleep. They tell me they'll do the same in no time.
I'm almost asleep when I finally I feel how the bed and the sheets move.
Don't tell me you're asleep -. Rick whispers to me kissing my hair.
His scent makes my skin crawl and I smile.
-Nope -. I answer turning my head to look at him.
-Sorry it took so long, but Tom was very drunk and we had to bring him upstairs together, while his wife kept saying how embarrassed she was and then Tony never stopped talking. And finally I went to take a shower because I had sand up into parts that did not know I had -. He sighs frustrated -. You did well in leaving earlier.
I get lost in the smell of his neck and I feel his hand touching my hip under my cotton shirt.
-Make love to me -.I whisper biting his earlobe to stop make him stop talking and knowing that after our statements on the beach, we would never have sex again, instead we would make love.
