going
on.”
    Tarren shook her head and felt her hair
move along her chin. Maybe she shouldn’t have gotten her hair cut in a bobbed
way? She picked up a strand of the dark locks, eyed it for a minute, and
sighed. Why was she suddenly questioning everything in her life, even something
as simple as her haircut? “This is our graduation party. If you’re not drunk
then you’re not having a good time.”
    Alexis rolled her eyes, but
smiled at her. “I don’t want to get so wasted that when I crash for the night
my parents can smell the booze on me and see the vomit in my hair.”
    Tarren didn’t respond right away, just
drank several more swallows from her cup. She thought about if her dad found
her passed out because she was totally wasted. Yes, he would be pissed, but
strangely enough for as protective as he was he was also very forgiving of the
things she had done. Like when she had been caught making out in the driveway
of her parents’ house with Steven Harris. He wasn’t a shifter, but she knew he
had a big dick by the rumors in school, and the evidence she had felt when he
had pulled her onto his lap in the driver’s side seat. But when her dad had
come bursting out of the front door in nothing but his grey sweatpants and his
expression looking like he wanted to rip Steven’s limbs from their sockets, she
had seen the fierce papa bear he was once again. He might have been pissed, but
then she had been in the house and felt embarrassment that her dad had seen her
in that compromising situation. But he hadn’t yelled, hadn’t grounded her, just
pulled her in for a bear hug and told her that she needed to be careful of the
fuckers out there.
    Tarren pulled her attention back from
her little slut experience, or lack thereof, and smiled at Alexis. “Girl, if my
dad knew how drunk I really was he’d take away my car and make sure I never
left the house again.”
    “ Tarren ,
Dallas is like a puppy compared to what my dad would do if he knew about all
the alcohol I’m drinking.”
    Tarren shrugged, but then nodded. Yeah,
Brick was one mean grizzly, especially when it came to protecting his little
girl. “Alexis, do you honestly think our folks don’t know we have beer out
here?”
    “I’m sure they do, but—”
    Tarren held her hand up, stopping her.
“They are watching, making sure we are okay and don’t go anywhere, and would
put a stop to it if it got out of hand.”
    Alexis nodded and took a sip from
her cup.
    “How about we not talk about our
parents and just enjoy the fact we are free from high school?” Tarren grinned and finished off her beer. “How are you and Nico doing?” Tarren arched a
brow. “You do the deed yet?” Although it so wasn’t Tarren’s business, and she really had no desire for the dirty
details, she was curious if Alexis and Nico had
finally gotten it on. It had been long enough that the two had been together,
probably heavy petting the shit out of each other.
    Alexis nearly choked on her beer,
and Tarren chuckled. Alexis wiped her mouth, her eyes
starting to water, and then she started coughing.
    “I guess that’s a no?”
    Alexis shook her head. “No.”
    “You’ve been together for like …
two years. How much dry humping can you possibly do with him?” Tarren took a drink, masking her smile as she gave Alexis a
hard time. “You need to get drunk and stop being the most sober one here.” Tarren grinned fully now. “Not only did we just graduate, but you turned eighteen not too long ago.”
    “Yeah, you’re right.” Alexis
looked around and took a sip of her beer, but right when Tarren saw her pulling it away she pushed it back at Alexis’s face. She sputtered,
some of the beer trailing down her chin again, and she lightly smacked Tarren on the shoulder. “What the hell?” Alexis started
laughing, but her cheeks turned red from clear embarrassment. Alexis scanned
the crowd again, and Tarren knew she was looking for Nico .
    Tarren followed Alexis’s gaze,
