sat in silence taking in the scenery, while the three girls talked about anything and everything.
    The lush green grass, the trees of different heights and shades of green were breathtaking, and the cloudless cerulean sky above just added to the natural beauty.
    After eating her peach, she got up and threw the pit away in a plastic garbage bag they brought for just that reason. She pulled her black hooded dress up over her head, folded it, and tucked it in her backpack. Then she went to lie down on one of the blankets to sun herself.
    “Got to work on the tan, you know.” Calista laughed, remembering how toward the end of every spring semester at college, they would head down to the Jersey shore, usually Belmar. Once in a while they would hop on mass transit and head to Annie’s old stomping ground, ‘Coney Island’.
    Jennie removed her cover-up and laid down next to Annie as Calista sat with Lisa and talked. Calista and Lisa were close friends, but she felt Lisa’s trepidation of having Annie here. Albeit, if push came to shove, Calista would take Annie, anytime, over Lisa, but she didn’t want Lisa to feel left out because of Annie, and she knew Annie wouldn’t want her to ignore her friend.
    Dan whistled. “Lord, gentlemen, I do believe we hang with the finest looking ladies in all of Texas,” he said as he and Cord bent down to lower the cooler full of beer they were carrying.
     
    The boys walked up, and Annie felt excitement and butterflies inside at seeing Cord again. She rose up on her elbows and zeroed in on him. He was not wearing a cowboy hat, nor was he wearing a shirt, and, wow, did he look amazing. His hair was black, short in the back long in front. It was swept to the left of his forehead with the longest part hanging past his brow. His chest was chiseled. He had large pectoral muscles and a six pack stomach devoid of any fat. She noticed his hip bones form the shape of a V, and there was a slight dusting of hair which tapered down to a straight line past his bellybutton and disappeared in his swim shorts. 
    She scanned down his body and noticed how defined his calve muscles were. When she looked back up to his face, she blushed. He was watching her watch him. He had a cocky grin on his face.
                 
    Cord saw her lying on a blanket and upon hearing Dan’s whistle, he saw her propping herself up on her elbows.
    Damn, she looked good in her pink bikini and, holy shit, was that a diamond string hanging from her belly. Cord thought that was so sexy looking. It looked even sexier on her flat, toned stomach. Her hair was hanging down and so soft looking, he fantasized about running his hands through it while her full, lush lips were wrapped around his cock.
     
    “Hi. You, pretty lady, must be Annie, the pastry chef from college. I’m Dan. I’m sure Calista has told you all about me, and it’s a pleasure to meet you, sweetheart,” he said loudly, and dripping with charm for all to hear.  He made his way over to Annie and extended his hand, and Cord wanted to rip it out of its socket.
    Annie shook his hand and shook her head. Dan was good looking, too. Damn, Calista has some hot friends , Annie thought.
    ”It’s a pleasure to meet you, but Calista never told me about you.”
    “No? Not even once?”
    “Sorry.” Annie winced and shrugged her shoulders.
    “Calista, what gives? How could you not tell this beautiful woman about me?”
    Calista laughed hysterically, knowing full well that she mentioned him to Annie and that Annie was just playing.
    “Knock it off Dan. She could see your charming bullshit a mile away,” Calista said. Everyone laughed, except for Dan.
    “Ouch, Calista, you hurt my feelings.”
    “Oh, please, you have no feelings,” she said, and all but Annie laughed, although, she wanted to also, but wouldn’t in front of him. She just met him.
    “Calista, you-”
    “That’s enough, Dan,” Rory interjected.
    He let go of Annie’s hand, and with a nod
