whispered in my ear. “He’s really rough.”
     
    “Tell me about it.” I
whispered back to her, as I plucked the stickers out of her hair. She’d poke
herself in the eye on her next trip to the dunes if I didn’t help her out. I
glanced up at Spencer, who was watching with intense interest, as if expecting
something. Or suspecting something. I suddenly realized that Sandy and I looked
a little too friendly.
     
    She started laughing
uncontrollably while she clung to me, and put her face in mine. She always got
too giddy when she drank too much. That wasn’t helping my case much with Spencer.
He was definitely going to think we had something going here. I pulled Sandy to
my side, holding her up. She didn’t need complete help standing yet, but it was
coming in another two or three beers.
     
    I looked at Dwayne
questioning him. “Where’s Vicky?” I asked.
     
    “She couldn’t make it tonight.
She was grounded.” Dwayne answered as if there was nothing wrong with this
situation.
     
    The two of them finally walked
off to the dunes again. Jerk!
     
    “Nice guy.” Spencer said
sarcastically.
     
    “Yes. But I don’t care for Vicky
too much anyway.” I said to him.
     
    He raised his eyebrows as if
saying that I had a point there. I was sure he didn’t like her too much, but he
didn’t mention anything mean or nasty about her.
     
    “Hey, we’re not bisexual or
anything like that. She just gets too friendly when she drinks too much.” I
told him, then laughed.
     
    He laughed. “I was wondering
if I was about to see some girl on girl action.”
     
    I laughed at him. “She hasn’t
gotten that drunk yet.”
     
    I laughed at him again. Spencer
and I stood there alone, talking about school, his life back in California, and
football. I think he figured out quickly that I wasn’t as into football as the
rest of the cheerleaders were, but he was polite and didn’t mention that fact. I
teased him about joining me at the dairy tomorrow. It would be fun showing him
everything, if nothing else.
     
    About that time, I looked up
to see Vicky walking toward us. Oh crap. My best friend, Sandy, was making out
with her boyfriend. I could tell by the way she was walking that she was onto
him. She was there to bust him. The only thing missing from this picture was
the camera from that reality show. Spencer looked at me.
     
    “We should go find Sandy
before Vicky does.” I said to him.
     
    “That might be a good idea.”
He said then walked off quickly with me to the dunes.
     
    We looked everywhere for
Sandy and Dwayne. There were so many couples sitting on the dunes making out.
There were a few on the top of the dunes. I tried to walk up, but it was so
sandy that I had trouble. Spencer went first and pulled me up. He lifted me
completely off my feet a few times, with one arm. He was really strong. That
was something else that really turned me on about a guy. Finally we made it to
the top. We found Sandy, but she was with someone else. She’d hooked up with a
guy named Alan, another football player.
     
    “Way to go, Spencer!” Alan
called out to him, in a very drunken slur.
     
    Spencer didn’t say anything
to Alan. “I guess we’re safe now, as long as your friend isn’t in her direct
path.”
     
    “Thanks for helping me. I’d
hate to see Vicky beat her up.” I joked.
     
    “She’s a big girl.” Spencer
laughed at my joke.
     
    That was the closest thing to
a snide comment that I’d heard him say all night long. I laughed at it. We made
our way back down toward the campfire, slowly. Climbing down the dunes was
really tricky. I couldn’t count the number of times I’ve slid down these things
on my ass. I was glad that I didn’t climb these too often.
     
    As we were carefully stepping
down, some sand slid out from under my feet and I went down. Spencer caught me,
but that caused him to fall down on his ass. We slid all the way down the dune on
his butt. He was holding me on his lap all the
