All About Me Read online

  ‘Happy New Year then ladies.’ Bruce said placing three French Martini’s in front of the girls. They always started with a French Martini…

  ‘Great. I see Micah.’ Tessa peered through the crowd. ‘He’s with some older guys over there by the doors. I don’t know who they are.’ Tessa waved her hand in the air to get Micah’s attention.

  ‘I think, you need to give this shit with Micah, a rest,’ Zoe said taking a very lady like sip of her drink being pissed off at Tessa at the same time. She wasn’t a real big fan of Micah’s these days. Tessa and Micah had been sleeping together for about a year, no strings attached. Zoe was certain he was using Tessa for the random sexual encounters that they seemed to have regularly. The girls had grown up with Micah, he lived locally and was by all measures, a hottie. Most girls had had a crush on him at some stage, or still did. For some reason Zoe didn’t think it was good for Tessa to be having such a relationship. She didn’t like the thought of her best friend fucking a user who took her for granted. Zoe felt Tessa needed to spread her wings a little and say goodbye to Micah. Tessa started hanging out with Micah a lot at the beach during the summer holidays as Zoe and Eve had gone to France to finishing school. Then they started spending days together alone on Micah’s fathers’ boat on the harbour. One thing led to another, and they started exploring sexually. They pretending to be hanging out and sailing, when in fact all they did was have hours of experimental foreplay and eventually they both lost their virginity to one another and began having sex. It had started off with fingers and tongues, as teenagers do, within days they had escalated to more erotic and sensual activities, mostly out of boredom or sheer lack of anything else to do. Tessa especially liked it when Micah used ice cubes… he would tease her young blossomy nipples. One time he got a little too adventurous and inserted a cube inside Tessa. At first scaring the shit out of them both. Once Tessa had calmed down and embraced the sensation, it turned into a mind-blowing activity for the entire afternoon. It was like two friends exploring each other, each day one would come to the boat with another idea of how to get the other off sexually.

  Without any commitment to a relationship after the summer ended, they continue to have sex with each other when the opportunity presented itself. This didn’t sit well with Zoe. Tessa had no interest in a relationship with Micah, she just liked to have sex with him, only something had changed about him lately and Zoe had decided to go against him.

  ‘Are you still pissed off from the beach? It’s only sand.’ Tessa gave Zoe a look across the corner of the bar, bringing up Micah had started Tessa again.

  He’s using you, and its stale.’ This was not the first time Zoe had made a fuss about Micah. Zoe and Eve didn’t really think it was great for Tessa to be giving herself to Micah whenever he felt like a little something from her, but she always went with him.

  ‘Just because you like to screw a different guy every week… half you wouldn’t even know their name.’ Shooting back with attitude, Tessa could give it just as good as Zoe, sometimes better.

  ‘I do not.’ Zoe huffed with her big blue eyes glaring at Tessa.

  ‘Please not tonight…’ Eve interjected; she had let it go for long enough. ‘We are going away tomorrow, and I don’t want my two best friends at each other’s throats every five minutes. Can you try to be nice to each other… please?’ Eve said after sculling her drink and slamming it onto the bar, getting both girls attention, not very Eve like at all. It took both Tessa and Zoe by surprise.

  ‘She’s had the shits since the beach,’ Tessa flicked her hair as she hissed in Zoe’s direction.

  ‘Well get over it… Both of you.’ Eve gave them fed up glance. If that was what sex did to people, Eve was happy to never have it. She signaled to Bruce as she prepared for another drink. The warm weather was making her thirsty. Both Zoe and Tessa laughed, it was rare for Eve to get angry with them, she was normally on an even keel, so when she raised her voice and got bent out of shape, the girls found it humorous. ‘At least your laughing, you’re both bitches.’ Eve huffed as she looked straight ahead down the bar, her eyes connecting with a cute guy at the other end. Asian, there was something about him. She held the stare for a moment, then looked away. Eve ordered her second French martini; the girls tested her patience. Always bickering over everything, big or small. Eve couldn’t be bothered ever joining in. Zoe didn’t let Tessa get away with a thing, and Tessa had an answer for everything.

  ‘Tessie. I love you that’s all.’ Zoe flung her arm around Tessa, who smiled and gave Zoe a kiss on the head. It always ends like this, Eve thought to herself as she turned her back completely on her two friends to enjoy her martini in peace.

  Tessa knew that Zoe only had her best interest at heart, she didn’t want her getting hurt by Micah. The thing Zoe didn’t realize was that she and Micah really didn’t have feelings for each other, and she only slept with him because there was nothing else to do, and because he was hot. His mum was Fijian Indian, his dad was Australian, which had produced a good-looking kid. Tessa often wondered why she didn’t have feelings for Micah, could it have been because they had known each other for so long as friends? Or was it that she really liked having sex?

  After their third round of martini’s the girls found their way out to the deck. The night was warm, and it felt hotter outside than it did inside the bar. Everyone felt a little sticky and hot, it just seemed to make them drink more. The music played, and the crowd was enjoying another hot festive night. Tessa and Zoe danced to one of their favorite songs while Eve stood aside, talking to Micah, while his new friends talked amongst themselves. Eve found it interesting that the cute guy from the end of the bar was with them, Eve had noticed him looking at her out of the corner of her eye while she spoke with Micah, and when she danced, she had felt his eyes on her all night. Micah had briefly introduced Eve, his name was Evan, he was obviously Asian, maybe not fully, and a little older and a little arrogant. Maybe he was half Chinese or Vietnamese, Eve thought as she checked him out, the more she looked, the more she liked, clearly a great body hidden under his sexy black t shirt.

  ‘Where did you get your new friends from?’ Eve questioned Micah as they stood sipping on cocktails together. He had been telling her about his plans to pull out of sailing to the Whitsundays for the next month with his dad. He loved going on his dad’s boat. Eve wondered if the new friends had anything to do with it. It was unlike Micah to cancel anything with his dad, and sailing was his thing, so, over the past few months things had seemed like they had started to shift with Micah. He went missing at times for days on end and he had become secretive.

  ‘They’re just some guys I’ve been doing some work for.’ Micah answered.

  ‘What kind of work?’ Eve was curious.

  ‘Err… Um. This and that.’ He stumbled about his answer; it was very clear to Eve he didn’t really want to discuss what he did for these guys. Fine, it didn’t bother her, she wasn’t that interested anyway, she was passing time until the girls stopped dancing. Her drink was always full, and the warm weather was making the alcohol affect her a little more than usual, then again, she wasn’t dancing like she usually did, it was too hot, and she was happy hanging out with Micah.

  ‘So, you think your pretty cool with new friends now? Looks like you’ve ditched us.’ Eve nudged Micah, he had been the spare wheel in the girl’s friendship for many years flitting in and out of the group. It was only when he and Tessa started sleeping together, that he pulled away and started making new friends and spending time only with Tessa.

  ‘Cooler than you babe.’ he threw his arm around Eve smiling down at her, ’and way cooler than those two out there dancing their little asses off... They’re so hot, look at them?” Micah scoffed with laughter. The guys had all past comment on how hot the girls all were, young but hot. He really did think Tessa was the hottest girl he had ever seen, he always had. The friendship was too good to fuck up, they were better friends Micah felt, but they loved having sex with each o
ther. One day it would end with Tessa, and they would still be friends.

  Most guys always commented on how lucky Micah was that he had three female friends who were three babes. Micah felt rather special hanging out with them. The girls had been great friends to him over the years when he didn’t have anyone else. A bunch of bullies and some bad rumors had made his early teen years hell.

  Sticky and sweaty, Tessa and Zoe parted their way through the many patrons who were on the deck. Tessa gave Micah a kiss on the mouth, being as sexy as she could, she gave her best super model smile as he introduced Tessa and Zoe to his new friends. Tessa was all legs and caramel wavy hair; Micah was happy to have Tessa hanging all over him for the older guys to see. She was in full flirt mode.

  An hour later after many more cocktails had been drank, their group spilled out onto the sand as did most of Ruby’s. It seemed to be a little cooler out on the sand, just by a fraction. Eve couldn’t help but be intrigued by this guy called Evan who was a little cool for his own good she thought. Maybe acting a little too important for her liking, he had been looking at her but not giving her anything else. It was clearly a one-way thing. As she sat enjoying the mild sea breeze on the edge of the wall between Ruby’s and the sand, Eve made eye contact with the somewhat full of his own importance, older Evan, they both held the stare... Was he trying to stare her out? It got the better of Eve and she laughed pulling the front of her dress out airing her chest, just enough to give Evan a glimpse of her deep tanned cleavage, a naughty trick Zoe had taught her for when she needed to get someone’s undivided attention.

  Eve slipped off the wall and took a few steps towards Evan, he gave her a knowing smile this time not looking away. He had seen her checking him out every time he looked at her, she was cute, sexy too for a young girl. He couldn’t help but look at her, she was beautiful.

  ‘Can I get you a drink?’ he asked her, wondering how old she was exactly, she had to be legal, she looked legal.

  ‘I think I’m good, I should probably slow down right about now.’ Her smile was natural, holding his eyes as she continued to do the air to the chest thing. It was hard for any guy not to look; she had such a great set of tits.

  Eve liked Evan’s clothing, he was stylish and good looking, simple black jeans and a black t shirt had never looked so good, her eyes ran over him. Her drinking had made her careless, a little overconfident perhaps. A moment passed, and she bent down to take her sandals off, holding her hand to her chest to keep her dress from gapping, then letting it go just at the moment Evan would get what seemed, like an accidental glimpse of her... She hoped she didn’t look to ragged or unruly after all the cocktails, it was such a hot night. As she stood up, Evan put an arm around her waist, pulling her into the front of him, he smiled and, in an instance, began kissing her, very slow and soft… Oh, he was super smooth, Eve thought to herself. A little excitement ran through her veins as she kissed the hot guy, she had been admiring all night. She was on her tippy toes as his strong arms pulled her up to him, perfect, just perfect, her drunken haze had turned into spontaneous passion. Eve had kissed plenty of guys, this guy knew what he was doing… holding her body close and tight to his, a very ripped body, Eve was drunkenly numb at how good it felt, dangerously good to a young seventeen-year-old horny girl…

  The touch of Evan’s arms at her palms, was giving her hands their own sexual experience, as she glided them along his arms, she could feel his serious muscles, everything felt toned and tight, overwhelmingly sexy her mouth easing into the rhythm of his kiss. She knew this kind of body was the work of someone who was dedicated, it was hard work. Her hands where drawing his sexual energy, her boobs pressed into his rippling chest. Eve felt her heart race a little at the thought of something more happening with the mysterious Evan, she was getting caught up in his sexual vibe, it was hard not to. His sleek neatly cut hair, his creamy soft skin and his pouty sexy lips could kiss her all over if they wanted to, she was feeling it right between her legs, a pulsing urge to have more...

  ‘Eve come on; we’re going.’ Zoe said startling Eve out of her lustful trance. It was bad timing, they had just started getting into it, Eve had felt a rising of something in her body; a strong overpowering desire, that was gone at the sound of Zoe’s voice. ‘Remember, we’ve got an early flight, we need to go home.’

  Eve took her mouth from his, and took a step back, away from his body, she had too… Looking up at Evan with his tight black t shirt, breathtakingly hot, what a body… a man’s body, she thought.

  ‘That’s you, your names Eve, right?’ He asked at almost a whisper, his inquisitive eyes looking into Eve’s.

  ‘Yep. I’m Eve.’ She pronounced with sharp regret. That had been the most enjoyable kissing of her life, her cheeks flush with lust and her lips tingling. She debated her situation for a moment, she wished she could stay and go with him, she really wanted to, or she could be the good girl she was and go home with the girls… Eve was a little conscious of all the kissing she had done since the other two girls had been each having sex for what felt like years. She sighed at the thought of letting Evan have his way with her. No…. she would not be having sex with some sexy random guy she just met at Ruby’s, she was waiting for the right guy, she would know when the time was right, and now was not it...

  ‘I better go. It was really nice kissing you,’ her smile was innocent, yet so seductive and moreish. They had only kissed for five minutes, what a shame it had to end, she could have kissed those pouty lips forever… she battered her young naive eyes at him. His dark hair fell to one side of his face, it was short at the back and sides, a little longer on top, he was very neat and tidy and very mysterious.

  ‘It was nice kissing you too.’ He gazed into her eyes, captivated by her youthful beauty and smoking little body.

  ‘Ok, then. I’ll see you around,’ what else was she going to say, it had been one of those moments, a what if moment.

  ‘I hope so.’ Evan leant down to her face giving Eve a short, yet sensual kiss as they parted, making Eve pulse in her knickers, a feeling she had never had before.

  Chapter 2

  ‘You don’t think you have over packed?’ Anna stood looking at Eve’s two large suitcases, and a large carryon bag bursting at the seams that sat in the middle of her bedroom floor.

  ‘Well… I need it all.’ Eve pondered as she surveyed the mound of luggage. Her mother always put doubt into her head with things like this, if Anna was thinking she had over packed, maybe she had. Anna was the queen of over packing. Oh well, what did it matter, she would pay for her extra luggage as she was not removing a thing from those bags, it was all important.

  Anna sat on Eve’s bed and watched her daughter, she thought Eve was the most gorgeous, kind, sweet and smart young woman to grace the planet, like all mum’s thought. Anna was very proud, even if she didn’t always show it.

  ‘Please, remember you’re a lady... Don’t do anything you think you might regret the next day.’ It had to be said, Anna new she had said it all before to Eve, and now she would say it again. Her eyes fixed on Eve, trying not to sound like a stone aged mother, Anna had always spoken to Eve as if she was an adult, not always acing the gentle mother approach, not like Jackie Rossi. Anna knew Eve was in awe of Jackie, Anna was different, as a parent she was always trying to do the right thing for Eve, sometimes it wore her down, between her job and raising a teenage daughter, Anna’s life was chaotic. She wished she had more time at home with Eve, but her career was demanding, she was at the top of her game and if she stopped for a moment, there would be someone ready to take her place.

  ‘MUM… I know, you tell me that every time I go somewhere.’ Eve may have forgotten she was a young lady for a few fleeting moments last night, when she was kissing the hot older guy on the beach, a flash thought of his lips on hers passed through her mind.

  ‘I know, you’re such a sensible girl. I know you will make good decisions, but Eve it’s my job to remind you.’ Anna convinced herself. She t
ook a moment to pause and compose herself, not wanting to say the wrong thing and overstep the mark with the motherly advice. ‘It is very kind of Marco to let you go with him and his friends. Please don’t give him a hard time.’

  ‘Mum. Stop.’

  ‘And Eve, be mindful. Older guys expect more, please keep that in mind and don’t drink too much.’

  ‘Oh… please don’t. You’re going to ruin my holiday.’ Eve frowned at her mother.

  ‘I’m just saying...’ Anna helped Eve down the stairs with her luggage, second guessing if letting her go away like this was a good idea. If Jackie Rossi gave it the ok then it was going to be ok. She was sure Eve was not sexually active yet, but then how would she know... Teenagers were sneaky and secretive, why would Eve be any different?

  Tessa sat on the kitchen bench as Jackie and Mario said their last speech before they left for Fiji and the kids set off to Palm Cove. Jackie had been stressing out all morning. Nick was hung over and acting like a pain in the ass already, she had warned him to behave several times and it didn’t go down well. Sometimes she was better just letting him go. Jackie just hoped everything would be ok, could Marco handle it? She had felt bad for Marco. The whole idea of the girls and Nick joining Marco and his mates, so many things could go wrong, they could all end up fighting and ruin Marco’s trip, then he would blame her for allowing it. It was too much for her boggled mind to process. She just hoped Nick behaved, he could make or break a trip.

  ‘Are your bags at the door Tess? We have to go,’ Marco came into the kitchen to say goodbye to his parents and get Tessa and Nick out to the car. He was organized and in control as usual.

  ‘Yes, they are.’ she said jumping off the kitchen bench and into her dad’s arms for a goodbye hug. The place was like a mad house, people darting here and there, hugging, giving lectures and rushing around in true Rossi style. Mario wrapped his arms around Tessa and squeezed her tight.
