anything this guy was willing to offer.
    We pulled up outside of Taylor's house a few minutes later, and I was amazed that she had actually let the topic of discussion drop. I put the car in park and turned towards her. "What do you think I should do?"
    "I don't know, hun. You need to decide that on your own."
    "I think I'm going to play a little hard to get. I gave so much to the last shit head, this time I want a guy to work for it."
    "I like that idea."
    I leaned across the armrest and gave Taylor a hug, "Thanks girl. I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?"
    "Yeah, you don't have to pick me up though. I'm going to borrow my step dad's van and I'll come over when he gets home from work."
    "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow."
    As my tires hit the asphalt coming off of the dirt road from Taylor's house, I turned up the stereo to a deafening volume and slammed my foot on the gas. I took the long way back to my house, as I jammed out and contemplated just how I wanted to go about this whole "situation" with my neighbor. As much as I liked him, and looking at him, my past wasn't too far in the back of my mind. I wasn't willing to give everything to another guy so quickly. If he really wanted something with me, then he was going to have to work hard for it. And just like that, my mind floated back to his tight muscular body, keeping me occupied the rest of the way home.
    When I pulled onto my street, I was secretly hoping that he either wasn't home anymore, or had already fallen asleep. Apparently I wasn't that lucky. I pulled into my driveway and quickly cut the lights, so I didn't attract any unwanted attention to the fact that I was back. I slipped out of my car, and slowly pushed the door into place. I knew I was being juvenile, but I really didn't want to hurt his feelings either. I quickly made my way up the walkway to my front door and made my way inside. I wasn't in the least bit tired, and now I was extremely bored steer having to take Taylor home, but I was determined to stand my ground and stay home. I glanced out the blinds in the dining room that faced his driveway, and noticed that Aaron's car was no longer parked out front. Actually, there weren't that many cars left outside of their house at all, so I assumed they turned in early.
    I shook my head at my stalker behavior and made my way to my room. My mom was working tonight, so I knew she wouldn't be home until morning and that gave me free reign of the house. I slipped on my bikini and made my way out back. Hey, a cold pool was basically the same thing as a cold shower, or at least I hoped.
     

Chapter Seven
    Dax
    I knew I wouldn't be able to wait that long to see her again, but there were enough people over that I could keep myself busy for the next little while. I tried to be involved in the conversations that were floating around the living room, but my thoughts were completely consumed by her. All I could picture was her long beautiful blonde hair, cascading down her back. Her soft sun-kissed skin, and those amazingly gorgeous lips. What I wouldn't give for those lips to say my name. I glanced down at my watch and realized it was only ten o'clock, but judging by the tightness of my pants, it was time to call it a night.
    I drank down the remainder of my beer and made my way to the kitchen to put it in the garbage can. Her house was still pitch black, so I could only assume she was still gone and my face fell in disappointment. As much as I wanted her to come back over, I was almost one hundred percent positive she wouldn't. I cracked open another beer and downed about half of it, when I felt a hand come down on my shoulder.
    "Dude, I'm sure you'll see her again. She does live next door."
    Aaron started laughing and all I could think to do was punch him, so I did. In the shoulder, but still hard enough that he would shut up. "Whatever, dude. She's just a girl."
    "Uh huh. Okay man, well I'm out of here. I gotta work in the morning. We hanging out tomorrow night or
