Flirting by Firelight
Sarah and Kate opened the door to Marnee's room only to find the girl passed out on her bed. The two girls looked at each other, exasperated. And then a smile crept onto Kate's face.
"Well, let's wake her up. Good friends would do that." Kate said quietly, all the while creeping to the edge of Marnee's bed.
Sarah nodded at Kate and went to stand at the head of the bed. Both girls grabbed the sheet and lifted Marnee's sleeping form off the bed and dropped her hard enough on the ground to wake her up from her little cat nap, yelling and cursing while Sarah and Kate literally fell over laughing so hard.
"Well, thanks so much my wonderful new friends for waking me up."
"N-n-no problem…just go get ready to go! We'll be late to meet everyone." Sarah said still laughing.
Marnee went to her dresser and picked out a faded skirt with little rips in it then headed over to her closet to get out a gray ¾ length sleeve shirt. She went in to the bathroom to change, add some makeup, and put her hair into a loose messy ponytail.
She came out in record time and shoved her feet into a pair of silver flats, grabbing her new friends, purse and leather jacket on the way out. They waited while she locked her door and then headed to the front of the building to meet up with the guys.
Kate and Sarah led Marnee to a group of guys standing by a black Hummer, silver Mustang, and yellow racing bike. All the guys looked up at the three girls, Kate going to stand by Pouge, Sarah going to a tall boy with dark hair. Pouge and Tyler, whom Marnee had already met, smiled at her and she returned the gesture.
For a few moments, the group of 7 just looked at each other till a sigh was heard. Everyone looked at Sarah, who looked like she could've smacked someone.
"Well, geez! Nobody introduce themselves…make her feel unwelcome." She exclaimed, exasperated.
"Oh, no. Sarah, it's o.k.…really. I'd probably act that way too if I didn't know me." Marnee said, causing little laughs to be heard around the group, easing the tension.
"Well, I'll introduce you. Now, this one standing next to me is my boyfriend, Caleb. You've already met Pouge and Tyler. The blonde one standing over there is Reid." Sarah explained, pointing to each one of the boys in turn.
When her gaze landed on Reid, however, she found herself lost in his sapphire eyes. She managed to look away, but was aware of his gaze studying her, from top to bottom. Shifting her stance a little, she looked around the group.
"So, when are we going to this bonfire? Because if we're not, then I do believe I have to get back at Kate and Sarah for waking me up earlier." Marnee said, a small smirk on her lips.
Once she said that, everyone jumped into motion. Kate and Pouge were going to ride on his bike, while Sarah and Caleb drove in his Mustang. Marnee got to ride with Tyler and Reid in Tyler's Hummer.
On her way to Tyler's Hummer, Marnee decided to be a bit childish. She picked up her speed a little bit, causing her to get some odd stares from Tyler and Reid.
"I call shot gun!" Marnee said, looking back at the boys, making a little pouty face. "I call it!"
Tyler laughed at her while Reid looked a little disappointed but even he had a smile too.
After everyone settled in, they headed off towards the beach. On the drive there, Tyler and Marnee talked about random things with Reid putting his 2 cents in like he usually does. All 7 friends arrived at the beach and walked toward the party together, Tyler and Reid left in the back when Sarah and Kate pulled Marnee with them.
"Dude, there's something about her. I can't put me finger on it…She's funny, nice and really hot! I would tap that!" Reid said, all the while looking at Marnee, or more specifically, Marnee's butt.
It was awhile later, after lots of dancing, that Marnee was grabbed from behind. She let out a little squeal and tried to turn to see who was holding her captive.
"Hey hey hey! Watch it! I wouldn't want you to break yourself."
Marnee immeadiately relaxed, it was only Reid.
"Well, Mr. Garwin, maybe I'd break you instead." Marnee said turning around, meeting his smirk with one of her own.
"Now, that wouldn't be good...but on the other hand, if you did, you could be my nurse and help me get better." He said, a sly smile on his lips.
Marnee placed a thoughtful look on her face and bit the corner of her lip. Then she looked at the puppy dog face he was giving her. She laughed and shook her head.
"No way Reid! But maybe one day, if your good, I'll get my nurse's costume out and help out get bettter." She said this giving a sultry smile and turned to walk away, leaving him with a shocked look on his face.
He regained his composure and smirked at her retreating back. Finally, a challenge I've been looking for... he thought to himself, setting off after her.
Through out the night, the group of friends enjoyed themselves and got to know Marnee a little more, helping each one accept her into their group. Reid paid quite a bit of attention to her, both of them flirting shamelessly as the night continued on.
I'm so glad I've found all these guys…their nice and accept me Marnee thought, then looked at the blonde whose arm was over her shoulders. Hmm, and maybe something more…and maybe something more.
