Chapter Seven
Addi
“Addi! There you are. Damn, girl, you hiding back here?” Leigh pops over the side of the cliff, my new favorite spot since I discovered it the other night. It’s private and a perfect view, plus a good amount of shade.
Leigh has huge sunglasses covering her eyes, her curly hair pulled back into a loose bun with flyaways sticking out in every direction. A long floral-patterned sundress hugs her body, the long bottom blowing in the breeze.
“I'm hungover as fuck.” She chugs some water before she pulls me to stand and wraps her arms around me.
“Me too. So bad. But isn't this spot to die for?”
Leigh pulls back and tosses her bag next to mine. “Hell, yeah it is. Okay, let's get our tans and gossip on.”
We used to call it tag, and people always thought we meant the game when we would say we were spending the weekend doing tag. But we just meant we laid out and got our tan on while dishing on the juiciest gossip we could find, hence tag—tan and gossip.
I help her lay her towel out, and she plops down, pulling her sunscreen from her bag. The sun is hot today, the reflection bouncing off the sandy shore and making it even stronger. I love soaking up these rays. It makes me realize how much I did miss home.
How much I love being back by the ocean.
We lie on our backs and get comfy.
“So … besides the fact that we're alcohol hurting, how was the rest of your night?”
“I had a great time. I assume you did too by the way you were hitting on Joe.” I wiggle my eyebrows at her, but she misses it, her sunglasses blocking her eyes.
Leigh laughs, the sound cheery and infectious. “I sure did. Joe knows a thing or two this girl right here didn't. New experiences are always a plus.” She tosses me a wink, and I giggle.
“Ohhh girl, details please.”
“Let’s just say I got tied up and spanked.”
“What?” My mouth drops open. Hey, I'm all for whatever you wanna do, but I never thought Leigh, of all people, would enjoy some freaky shit.
Me? I'd totally be down. Sounds like a good time. Last night flashes through my head. That was definitely a good time.
“Fuck, you lucky bitch you. I love finding the dirty ones.”
The laughter between us is loud and carries on the breeze. I bet people down on the beach can hear us.
“Joe was dirty, that's for sure.” Leigh rolls onto her side, pulling herself up onto her elbow. “He licked me from head to toe and ate me out for hours.” Her grin is so wide her cheeks must hurt. “What about you? Tell me, tell me!”
Now it's my turn to grin and blush. “I found a dirty one, too.”
Leigh squeals and claps her hands. “Yes! I was hoping you did! That guy was pretty fucking hot. What's his name?”
“Cole. Yes, he's hot and delicious and the sex, damn. Explosive. Flipping me around and doing all sorts of positions with lots of licking and kissing and sucking ...”
Damn, it's all good.
“The dirty ones are the best, right?” Leigh shimmies her shoulders from her side position and grinds her hips back and forth.
I roll onto my side into a fit of laughter. “You’re so right, though. It was fucking unbelievable. Like straight out of a smutty novel.”
“Please tell me you’re seeing him again.”
The wind rustles my blond hair, the sun turning it a shade of pale yellow I haven’t seen in a few years. Leigh stares at me, but I just shrug my shoulders.
“You haven’t spoken at all?”
