A Wave Of Desire

I hadn't been in my room for more than ten minutes when my phone rang. I knew who it was before I looked at my phone. I had saved Makai's number this time and given it a ringtone that would let me know it was him. Almost everyone in my contacts had a special tone so this wasn't anything special. It was just normal.

"Hey." I answered my phone as I flopped onto my bed.

"Soo, that was an exciting end to our date. Your mom really does have bad timing, doesn't she?"

"You have no idea." I groaned as I thought about what was happening on the beach.

"So, all your stuff is still in my car. I will give it to you tomorrow after school. I don't want to do it during school because people will see us."

"Yeah, that wouldn't be the greatest, would it?" I chuckled, unsure about it all.

"Also, why didn't you tell me your birthday was coming up?" He sounded a little upset to have found out from a different source.

"I was going to tell you, honest. But, all of this happened so recently that I hadn't had much time to think about all of that. I mean, it's new to me, you know?" I hoped he understood and believed me.

"Yeah, I know. It's all happened so fast, but I wouldn't trade any of it. I've loved every second that I have been with you, Ocean. I hope you know that I wouldn't trade our time for anything."

"I know." I did too, and I was right there with him. I wouldn't trade my time with him either. It has all been really, really good.

"So, this birthday Halloween party, is it a costume party?" I could hear the smirk in his voice.

"If it is then what are you going to wear?" I made my voice sound alluring and seductive as I asked.

"Hmm, I have a few ideas. They would be specific to you though. Maybe I could wear a banana suit with nothing under it and make you peel me. Or I could come dressed as a present and with nothing underneath and let you open me. I would be a gift wrapped just for you."

DAMMIT! Why was I getting hard at just the idea of those costumes?

"I..I..I..I don't care what you w..wear." Great, now he knew that I was nervous.

"Hmm, really?" He laughed. "But seriously, is it a costume party or not? I don't want to look like the token idiot."

"Some people dress up, and some don't. It's always a mix. Halloween is fun for everyone, not just kids."

"That's true. Are you dressing up?"

"M..m..maybe." I hadn't planned to, but if he wanted me to, then I would.

"Well, I will only dress up if you do."

"We can talk about that later." I tried to end that part of the conversation.

"Fine. By the way, I love the middle name. Now if I lose control I can just say I got caught up in the riptide." I knew he was going to laugh about that, everyone always did.

"Ha ha, so funny."

"I had to. Can I pick you up for school in the morning? This time I promise I won't take you anywhere but school." I heard a pleading note in his voice.

"Yeah, I guess. I will see you in the morning." I consented too easily.

"Thanks. I will see you then. Goodnight."

"Good night. Sweet dreams." It was what I always said to my mom and sister ever since I was little and it came out automatically.

"I'm sure they will be, if I'm lucky they'll be of you." My heart skipped a beat at that.

"I..I..I..I..I..-" I was lost.

"Haha. Good night Ocean." I heard the heat already filling his voice.

When Makai picked me up the next day, I was waiting for him. I had gotten up early, got dressed and had breakfast all before he was there. When he pulled into the driveway, Mom was watching through the curtains. She watched as I got into the car, and Makai drove away.

They probably thought it was weird, me having Makai drive me to school when I had my own car and all. But, I mean, he asked so I let him. And that's what I would tell them if they were to say anything about it.

Practice was the same as usual, except Coach Dickson seemed to be relieved that we weren't dying or something. He was so happy to have us back that he didn't say anything about us missing the day before. Our absences were excused as well, courtesy of Coach Dickson. He told the office that we got sick at the tournament after winning it, and since that win was already getting the school some major attention, they apparently wanted to take care of it also.

We had gotten behind on homework as well. Missing two days of school did that to us. And with the advanced classes we took, we got a lot of homework. It was going to add up. We were given an extra week to do it though, since we had the rest of the week's work to do as well. That was good, not too bad for us then.

No one said anything about the fact that Makai and I showed up to school together. I know that there are other sets of friends who rode to school together even though they both have a car. There was nothing wrong with it, just two friends showing up to school together. They didn't need to know that, in our case, we were d..d..dating.

The rest of that entire week was about the same. Makai picked me up everyday and drove me home. We did our homework together at my house and ended up making out halfway through. That made it take me twice as long to do my work from now on, but that was fine. I wasn't all that upset about it. Working with Makai though, we got through our homework that we missed pretty quickly and turned it in by Friday morning.

Friday at lunch was when someone finally said something to one of us.

"It looks like the two of you became pretty good friends." Ben grinned at us.

"Yeah, well, we realized there was no reason to hate each other." I shrugged my shoulders.

"We?" Makai looked at me skeptically.

"OK, fine, I realized. You guys were right all along, Makai is a good friend. I just stopped long enough to realize it." I rubbed the back of my head in embarrassment.

"That's good. I'm glad you're friends. It was starting to cause all of us some tension and, honestly, I was waiting for you to either fight or something." Ben looked relieved, so that was good.

"Are you going to Ocean's birthday party?" Ryan asked him. "He has one right around Halloween every year."

"I've been told about it. I'm probably going to go, yeah."

"That's cool. Ryan and I are dressing up this year; we didn't last year and totally regretted it. You should dress up too, and then we can pressure Ocean into wearing something with us." Ben sounded like he was trying to get Makai to gang up on me. That would never happen.

"Yeah, sounds like fun. I would love to see Ocean dressed up." I stand corrected, he chose my friends and ganged up on me. That asshole.

"Whatever would I wear?" I tried to get out of it. 

"We've got a week, we can work it out. Trust me, we can get it done." Ben started to think.

"I know." Ryan sounded excited. "We can get some of the girls from the swim team and do a whole Baywatch theme. It would be cool, easy to do, and right up our alley since we're swimmers." He was grinning and proud of his idea.

"Yeah, that's awesome." Ben agreed. "Hey Cassie, Alexis, would you wanna do a Baywatch theme with us to Ocean's party?"

"Are Ocean and Kai dressing up too?" I saw the hopeful look in their eyes.

"Yeah, the four of us and some of you girls." Ben was nodding.

"Sure, sounds fun."

With that, my fate was sealed. I now had to wear nothing but a pair of shorts to my party with Makai. I could already feel the heat coming off of him where he sat next to me. But at least I got to see that view too.

Maybe I was really looking forward to my birthday after all. I would get to see a half-naked Makai the whole night. Only, I would be walking around with a fucking hard on most the entire night.

I swear, if I didn't figure something out for a form of release soon, I was going to be known as a goddamn pervert for the rest of my life. What the hell was I going to do about this now?
