ever did it without you, boss." Micah walked up beside me and patted my back. "You're just so lively."
I rolled my eyes at his teasing. "Help me watch out for the younger guys tonight. You know how stupid everyone gets at the event."
"Yeah, I'll just have a beer or two. I'll be the designated driver tonight for anyone too shit faced to leave."
"Good. Take keys, and don't let anyone start that swingers shit they tried last year. You remember what a nightmare that was?" I snorted, trying not to think about it.
"Yeah. Cops, blood and a strict warning to shut us down. Why would anyone think that a few beers would change the rules of relationships? I'd never let a girl I was dating touch another man. People are fucking stupid." Micah bent down and grabbed a cold beer out of a cooler, tossing it to me before getting his own.
I popped the top and drank half of it down in a few gulps. "It's the Kappa Alpha assholes. They share everything, including women."
"God, that's nasty." Micah's face distorted in disgust. "I would ask if you could imagine it, but you've probably done it."
I shrugged. "There isn't much I haven't tried."
"Save it for someone who wants to like you less. I'm as low on that pole as I can go."
"Fuck off." I smiled. "Hey, did you invite Brody and his guys?"
"Yeah, but I don't know why you want him here. He's a bigger asshole than you are."
"I don't want him here. I wanna eye-fuck his pretty girlfriend from across the room." I licked my lips at the thought of seeing Emily Campbell. My cock stirred in my jeans just letting her name brush across my mind. She was the finest fucking cheerleader in all of Providence and should have been mine. Brody being quarterback of the football team had some odd advantage over me. He was as big of a whore as I was, and yet had the best looking girl on campus.
"Come on, man. You know Emily is a good friend of mine."
"Yeah, and I wish you would hook a brother up. What's wrong with you anyway?" I turned as some of the waitresses from Mersky's walked down the stairs and called my name.
"That's what's wrong with me. Emily is a great girl with a good heart."
"And huge tits." I glanced over at him and wagged my eyebrows. "Let's not forget all of her assets."
"Fuck," he mumbled and popped me in the chest. "You're on your own with her. She's too much woman for you or that cock she's dating."
"Yeah, I hate that guy," I called after him as the girls moved to stand around me. "Hi ladies. You ready to help us make this party a hit?"
"Anything for you, Jacob."
Lacy, Margaret and Casey. My favorite trio.
"You're so sweet. Walk around and see what the guys need help with." I reached out and popped their asses as they walked by looking like something I'd like to sink myself into later that night.
The back door opened, and Smith waved, catching my attention. "Your dad's on the phone."
"All right. I'm coming." I jogged toward the house as Casey turned and smiled.
"Not yet you're not, but you will be later tonight."
"Promises, promises, sweet girl." I licked my lips and let my eyes drag down the back of her. Where being promiscuous my freshman and sophomore year gained me more than enough attention to last a lifetime, it was getting old. I wanted something else out of my senior year, but I couldn't figure out what just yet. A committed relationship sounded like hell, but sleeping around with a million women for the next year didn't seem much better.
"Dad?" I put the phone to my ear and nodded at Darren to thank him.
"Hey buddy. How are the party plans coming?"
"They're great. We're about to kick things off. You okay?" Worry raced through me as I walked to the kitchen and leaned against the stove, cupping my hand around my ear to hear him better over the noise.
"Oh yeah. I got a letter in the mail for you this morning. One I think you've been waiting on."
Excitement burned through me. "From PDL?"
He chuckled. "It says Premier Development League, FC Boston on the front."
"Yes.
