    The ne xt morning Tori and I started the fire and cooked up some breakfast. It took awhile to get used to, but the sausage and eggs didn’t turn out too bad. The only one that complained was Brent, of course. If he or his mom didn’t cook it, then it wasn’t done right. We spent the next couple hours sitting around the fire visiting with Tori’s mom while the guys went fishing.
    When it got warm enough we decided to drive down to the beach area. There were supposed to be a bunch of people that we went to school with spending the day down there and we thought it’d be fun to meet up with them for a few hours. Tori and I were packing up our beach bags and getting in the car when Brent and Nate returned.
    “Where are you girl s heading?” Brent asked.
    “We’re going to the beach.”
    “We were just going to head that way. You guys wanna ride with us? Nate and I are going to take the bikes out.”
    Tori looked at me and shrugged. “Sure.”
    I grabbed my backpack off the front seat and walked around to the other side of the car where T ori was using the side mirror to apply her lip gloss. “Um…what are you doing?” I asked her.
    “Putting on lip gloss. What does it look like ?”
    “ Not that! Why are we going with them?”
    “I figured it’d be better. We’ll probably be drinking and now I won’t have to worry about leaving the car down there over night. Plus, have you ever ridden on a bike before? It’s fun!” The guys came back out of the camper and headed toward the bikes parked behind the car.
    Tori walked over to the blue bike, grabbed the helmet from the seat, and secured it on her head. I walked over to the black bike and did the same. I watched Brent walk over to the blue bike, jump on and start it up. Tori got on behind him and smiled at me. She would have me ride with Nate. Nate walked up behind me and sat on the bike.
    “ Have you ever ridden on a bike before?”
    I shook my head. “No.”
    “All right, well, watch your legs. The metal can get hot and burn the shit outta you. It shouldn’t get too bad since the drive’s not too far from here.” He started up the bike. “Ready?” I nodded my head and flung my leg over the bike. I looked on each side of me for something to hold on to. There was nothing. “Hold on, okay?” I wrapped my arms around him and placed my hands on the gas pump in front of him.
    My heart was pounding rapidly. I wasn’t sure if it was because this was my first time on a bike or if it was because I had my arms wrapped around this sexy almost stranger. Everything about this situation felt dangerous and risky, and that was everything I liked about it.
    We drove through the campground and I was finally starting to loosen up a little bit. My hands still rested on the gas pump and my chest was about a quarter of an inch away from his back. Every time we went over a speed bump our bodies touched and my hands would slip a little further between his legs. It didn’t take long before I was wishing we were driving on a road full of speed bumps.
    Soon enough we were stopped at the stop sign that led to the main road. Brent stopped and then turned right and took off down the road. I watched Tori put her head down and cling to him. Nate scooted up to the stop sign and looked to the left for cars.
    “You’re going to want to hold on.” I moved my hands up to his stomach and wrapped them around him as tight as I could without suffocating him. Nate made the turn and we were off. I closed my eyes. I wanted to open them to see how fast we were actually going, but I was still freaking out a little. As scared as I was, I felt like I didn’t have anything to worry about, like I knew that Nate wouldn’t put me in a dangerous situation. I felt like he had some kind of need to protect me, ever since that night at Tori’s. It was weird, though; that was the first night we’d ever met. Why me?
    I finally decided
