Uninvolved (23 page)

I have in my possession one skimpy ass thong (no wonder you could not find it. I think my dental floss is thicker). If you ever want to see it again, you will reply to this text with a pic of that fine ass.

Kyle was still in the sho
wer
,
so Becka walked over to
full
-
length mirror
in his bedroom
,
lifted her nightie
,
and s
napped a quick pic
, happy she was wearing some cute boy short
-
styled underwear
.
She quickly sent it and then deleted his text and her response
.
Turning her phone to silent
,
she went to the bathroom to take her shower.

Kyle had a towel wrapped around his waist and was shaving in the mirror
.
His dark brown hair
was still wet and
falling into his eyes
.
Becka
undressed
,
wrapp
ed
her
arms a
round him from behind,
and
kissed
the Calvin and H
obb
e
s tattoo on his shoulder
.
Kyle
set down his razor and turned around to pull her into his arms
.
Lifting her up onto the counter
,
he
stood between her legs and kissed
her,
running his
hands up and down her back
.
Becka
wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck.

When he started kissing her neck
,
Becka whispered
,
"If you don’t stop
,
we'll never get to your parents
’
house on time."

Kyle tried his best to look guilty and bent down to kiss
her once more
be
fore straightening back up,
l
ifting her off the counter
and
gently set
ting
her back on the ground
.
Becka swatted him on the butt before stepping into the shower
.
Once out
,
s
he let her hair air dry and did her makeup at Kyle's before they headed to her house.

Kyle
was wearing grey slacks and a black dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up
.
His shaggy
,
dark brown hair was forever falling into his eyes
,
but overall she had to admit he looked really go
od tonight
.
Kyle glanced at Becka, catching her gaze
.
H
e
reached out to hold one of her hands
.
She mentally cataloged her closet
,
trying to decide what would look good but appropriate.

Becka decided on a fitted salmon dress that hit just above her knee
,
paired with a charcoal short
-
sleeved cardigan
,
and grey Mary
Jane heels
.
She quickly curled her hair and put on some perfume
.
Becka switched her wallet, keys, cell phone
,
and lip gloss from
her purse to a simple silver clutch.

"We clean up good
,
" Kyle said
,
coming to stand behind her as he wrapped his arms around her waist, checking out their reflection.

"Are you sure they are going to like me?" Becka asked quietly.

"Positive
,
babe
.
Unless
we're late
.
"
L
aughing at
her
panicked look
,
he went on
,
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding."

Dave had to work that night and was eating in the living room when they walked out.

"Where are you guys going all dressed up?" he asked.

"My parents are having a party
.
" Kyle grinned.

Dave looked at Becka
,
eyes wide
.
"
Meeting the parents?"

She bit her lip and nodded.

Dave didn’t say anything but knew Becka well enough to understand what a big deal this was to her.
Kyle's parents lived in an
established well
-
to
-
do neighborhood
.
As they walked up the front path
,
Becka saw a basketball hoop above the garage door and tried to picture
a younger version of
Kyle
shooting hoops
.
Their front door was a vibrant red with a large wooden wreath
.
Kyle gave a courtesy knock before opening the door and shouting hello
.
They were greeted by an attractive middle
-
aged couple who Becka could only assume were his parents.

"Mom, Dad
.
I'd like you to meet Becka
Sherwood
,
"
Kyle said
,
wrapping his arm around her waist.

"It's s
o nice to meet you Mr. and Mrs.
Wyrick
,
" Becka said
,
shaking their hands.

"
Please call us Beth and John
.
Oh
,
it's so nice to finally meet you too
,
Becka
.
We
have heard so much about you
.
And you're just so darn pretty too
,
" his mother gushed.

"Come on in
.
C
an I get either of you something to
drink?" his dad asked
,
ushering them in.

Becka accepted a glass of wine while Kyle opted for a beer
.
They mingled while Kyle's parents greeted more guests.

"Want to see my old
bedroom?" Kyle asked excitedly.

Becka had barely gotten "sure" out before he was tugging her up the stairs.

Becka was
almost out of breath by the time he pulled her into a room and shut the door
.
His lips and hands
were on her before she could even look around
.
This was the most aggressive
she had ever seen Kyle, and Becka
liked it. They were a jumble
of
half on half off clothes in no time. The noise from his parent's pa
rty downstairs and the fact that
at any moment someone, maybe even one of his parents
,
could walk in on them only increased the intensity. Afterward
,
Becka slipped into the hall bath
room
to straighten her dress and check her hair and makeup. Kyle had kissed off all of her lipstick
,
and her neck was a bit red from where he was kissing it.
She
reapplied her lipstick and
was no worse for the wear. Grinning
,
she walked back into his room. Kyle
was sitting on his bed with his head in his hands.

"Hey, everything ok
ay
?
" she said
,
walking over to him.

"I am so sorry I just attacked you like that
,
" he said
,
taking her hands.

"Are you kidding?" Becka laughed
.
"
T
hat was fucking hot."

"Really?" he asked relieved.

She nodded
,
leaning in t
o
give him a long kiss.

"It's just that I never had sex with a girl in my room
.
I had a
lways fantasized about it
.
The
sec
ond
we walked into this
house
,
I wanted it to be
you so bad."

"I like the idea of making your fantasies come true
,
" Becka said
,
biting his ear.

"I am literally the luckiest s.o.b. on the planet
,
" Kyle said
,
pulling her closer.

Becka tried not to wince
.
She
felt like such an asshole
.
He had not said it yet
,
but she was pretty sure Kyle was falling in love with her, whereas she
was
just
accepting the fact that she might like him
.
He gave her a quick tour of his old room befor
e they headed back downstairs
.
Once downstairs
,
she excused herself to the bathroom to check her phone
.
Nate
had texted her back that there should be a national day of celebration devoted to the awesomeness of her ass
.
Biting back a laugh
,
she texted
him
back
,
asking
what types of celebrations he had in mind
.

Rejoining the party
,
Becka got a chance to speak one on one with Kyle's mom. She
was so sweet and wanted to hear all about Becka and her whole life story
.
Mrs. Wyrick also
told her all about Kyle when he was younger
and all the trouble he used to get into
.
Kyle met her gaze across the room and shot her a curious look as she giggled at him.

Later
,
comin
g over to steal her away from his
mother
,
Kyle asked her what she had been giggling about
.
Becka explained that his mother had told her all about the time he had proposed to his
fourth
grade substitute teacher after she had walked him down to
the
front office to see the school nurse because he was feeling sick
.
What he hadn’t known at the time was the school secretary was giving the morning announcements
,
and his profession of love was heard by the entire school.

Kyle flushed and looked at his mother like
,
“
I can't believe you just told her that.
”

"My mom must really like you if she is already telling you all my secrets
,
" Kyle said
,
nuzzling her ear.

Even thoug
h Becka was still nervous about making a good impression that evening
,
she was surprised by how easily she fit in with Kyle's family and their friends
.
After dinner
,
they stayed to help out with clean up
.
Kyle's mom made him promise to bring Becka to their next get
-
together as well.

On the drive back to Kyle's apartment
,
he kept telling
Becka
how much his parents like
d
her
.
It should have made her happy to hear
that,
but instead in a way
,
it scared her
.
It was as though Kyle was on a relationship path that she didn’t know if she was ready for
.
Part of her really wanted to slow things dow
n
,
but she knew that would only
hurt Kyle, and she didn’t want to do that.

Becka knew this would end badly. She wanted
Nate
but couldn’t have him
,
so she was keeping herself busy with Kyle. She made excuses for her behavior by saying she really did not want to hurt Kyle's feeling
s,
but his feeling
s
really had little to do with her actions. Kyle made her feel good about herself
.
He
adored her and
,
as long as he continued to do that
,
she would string him along until
Nate
either came around or she met someone else. In her mind
,
he was getting awesome sex in the mean time so he really had nothing to complain about.
