Busted in a COPS Kind of Way

"Lily! What-what-what're you doing here?" Especially since you told me you were going to Crescent Beach, which is why I came here.

She shrugged. "Logan was there and I really didn't want to deal with his emo-bullshit and lovesick eyes."

Logan is kind of a psychotic jackass – I heard about the time he taped a naked Wallace to the flag pole on Wallace's first day ever at Neptune Sophomore year for unknowingly parking in Logan's spot – but surely even he doesn't deserve the level of bitchiness Lily is capable of.

I get to have front row seats to his excoriation because I'm Lily's best friend, yo, and apparently also her sounding board as to all the reasons why a relationship with Logan isn't possible. It's obvious she's just as obsessed with him as he seems to be with her, so why the fuck am I in the middle?

"But who cares about that asshole?" Besides you? Her eyes tracked movement over my shoulder and I could see my companions had drawn her attention. "Who are these fine, fine young lads you're spending time with?"

Gritting my teeth against a wave of territorial possessiveness, I grudgingly made the introductions. "Lily, this is Max and Eli. Guys, this is Lily."

She sauntered closer, the white wrap around her hips swaying gently. I saw Weevil's eyes automatically scan her luscious figure, highlighted by the tight and extremely tiny pink bikini she wore. A girl with such huge tits should really have more support. Like a burlap sack maybe?

I bit back the urge to repeat my thoughts aloud, however, and pointed out the seat next to mine. "Wanna join us?" Don't ever let it be said I don't have manners; you can call me bitchy, insane, or a shit-starter, but never ill-mannered.

"Well, the girls are waiting on me…"Oh thank God. "You should come join us." Fuck that.

"Unfortunately we can't, Lily, but thanks." "Sure," both boys chorused at the same time.

We got into a three-way glaring contest broken only by Lily's shifting. Heck, even I had to admire the boob wobble going on; it was that impressive. How the hell did she keep them packed down without spilling out or at the very least a nipple peek? It was like admiring German engineering at its finest, though clothes instead of cars.

She ignored our behavior as if it wasn't abnormal (though given who she hangs out with, it probably wasn't), "Fabulous! Ooh, can you watch my stuff while I run to the ladies room? Thanks!"

"Way to throw me under the bus guys!" I scolded once Lily was out of earshot.

"She's nice," both sighed in mutual lust.

"Yeah, 'cause it was her personality that caught your attention."

"I saw you checking her out too, V. Are you Catholic schoolgirl kind of friends?" Weevil's eyebrows waggled playfully, making me laugh even as I slapped his arm for reminding me of the god awful soft core porn I once flipped to on TV mistakenly thinking it was something else. They really should make it against the law to allow porn titles to be similar to regular movies.

"Get your mind outta the gutter." Then because I couldn't help it, "'Sides, I'd be smothered beneath all that loveliness."

Max nearly fell out of his chair laughing while Weevil tried to look shocked at my slightly risqué comment, but couldn't prevent the delighted grin from forming.

"But why do you guys want to hang out with a bunch of spoiled rich kids? And why make me?"

"V, you say this chica got your back at school against everyone and she didn't have to. Why wouldn't I wanna talk to her?"

A warm fuzzy feeling bubbled near my heart because I knew this was Weevil's way of saying he wanted to make sure Lily was on the up and up. "Ahh, you're just made of out of Peeps, ain't cha big guy?"

"Don't be spreadin' that rumor, V. A man's got an image to uphold."

I rolled my eyes at him, but put my game face on when Lily came back to the table.
