Next, I sent another text to Lexi, asking her to arrange a commuter helicopter for us. It would take us from Malibu to the heliport close to where the yacht was docked. When I went last time with Rita, it had been quite reasonably priced. I just knew it would save us a ton of travel time. Plus, I wanted my friends to get the full experience while they were there.
I decided that after that, I would cut back on throwing money around. I knew Wolf was touchy about it, and I really didn’t want my friends to think I was an ATM.
Brook came out and sat down in my lap. She looked refreshed from her nap.
“You should talk to your boys. They seem to think you’ve planned a ‘Girls Gone Wild’ type of week.”
“Why am I responsible for that?” I asked.
“Because they take their lead from you. Someone has a reputation for doing outrageous stuff,” she reminded me.
“I really haven’t gotten too far out of hand this year. Every time they’ve wanted to do something over-the-top, I’ve said I wasn’t going to be involved,” I reminded her.
“Sarah’s uncomfortable,” Brook clued me in. “She said you announced something about ‘anytime, anywhere’ when you were at model camp with her. Wolf keeps telling her, ‘right now and right here.’”
“Are they not doing the deed?” I asked, suddenly confused.
I knew that Sarah wasn’t against having sex. Heck, I’d spent some quality time with her, and she’d enjoyed it. I guess I just assumed she and Wolf had taken it to the next level, so to speak.
Brook got a look on her face like she’d bit into a bitter lemon.
“Just tell me.”
“She told me this in confidence,” Brook wavered.
“Then don’t,” I said to let her off the hook.
“Wolf is terrible in bed,” Brook blurted.
I blinked a few times and then called bullshit.
“Cassidy never complained.”
“Cassidy learned early on that she had to be on top to get hers. She told me that you, Jim, and Jeff were much better lovers than Wolf is.”
“I think I remember you saying this was a secret, and I said not to tell me,” I said. I covered my ears, trying to find some way to unhear it.
“You have to talk to him,” Brook said.
“Hang on. Why doesn’t Sarah talk to him about it? She has a vested interest in fixing it. Personally, I don’t really want to know what he does behind closed doors,” I reasoned.
“
“Nice try,” I said, calling her bluff.
“Then do it for me,” Brook said, pulling out the big guns.
“What am I supposed to say? ‘Hey, Bro, the girls have been talking, and you’re coming up short in the bedroom?’ He’ll punch me, and I’ll probably deserve it.”
“You could show him,” she suggested.
“I guess Sarah and I could bang one out while he watches. Bet I can still make her scream,” I teased.
Some things should
“Ow!” I complained.
“Tracy said you showed Tim. Tami thinks he’s pretty good.”
Actually, I’d tasked Kim with Tim’s education during the summer between sophomore and junior years.
Suddenly, my old feelings for Tami came to the forefront, and I had to take a deep breath to tamp them down. Just when I thought she was completely out of my system, something like what Brook had just said reminded me that Tami and I had a history.
You don’t go most of your life thinking you will end up with someone and then flip a switch and forget it. It didn’t matter that I loved Brook and wouldn’t give her up for Tami for any reason. There were still times I thought of Tami as mine.
“I could have gone the rest of my life without hearing the last part,” I grumped.
“Come on, you have to know we girls talk. You always come off well,” she tried to assure me.
“Whatev,” I said to change the subject from me. “How am I supposed to show him? Are we going to do it in front of everyone?”
She giggled.
“You are a bit of an exhibitionist.”
“If you got it, you flaunt it,” I said to annoy her.
“Whatev,” she said, using my own words against me.
“You know who we need?” I asked and paused. “Cindy.”
“She’s in LA,” Brook said.
“I didn’t know that. Is she there working on my house?”
“Yep. She wants to get together this week,” Brook shared.
I waggled my eyebrows at my girlfriend.
“That’s not happening. After the session with Suzanne, I’m not sure letting you hang out with her is a good idea. I personally think she’s a little too wild,” Brook admitted.
“Can you ever be ‘too’ wild?” I asked, doing air quotes.
“Ow, stop that,” I complained as she jabbed me again. “I will defend myself.”
“I don’t think so, tough guy,” Brook said and tickled me.
“Don’t start something you can’t finish,” I warned her.
“You two settle down,” Rita said, coming out of the back of the plane.
“Yes, Mom,” I said.
“I’ll get Cassidy, and we’ll hold him down if you want to spank him,” Brook offered.
“Slow down, Speed Racer. There’s no need to bring the Little Ninja into any of this. If you two want to take turns playing with my butt, just ask.”
“You should dump him,” Rita suggested.
