me.  I’m trying to avoid being interrogated by my folks about why I’m not with Sam. I just can’t deal with his shit today; also I’m planning on taking Evelyn out tonight.  “Why can’t you just tell your parents where you’re going? It’s not like you’re a kid man, stop letting them run your life dude.”  Mitch stops paying attention to the golf ball in front of him and looked at me.  He was just as tall as I am, was blonde where my hair was dark. I was bigger in build than he was, because I worked out more frequently.  “I’m asking as a favor.  Consider us even for all the times I bailed your ass out of a jam.”  Mitch looked at me and said. “She’d better be worth it.”  I know he wanted to know what was up to with me and Evelyn, but he wasn’t going to ask straight out.  He knows I’ve been feeling Evelyn for a while he’s the only one who does, but I don’t want to go into too much detail with him at this moment.  I know he won’t say anything to anyone.  I still don’t know where this is heading and I don’t want to jinx it. 
     
    “The both of you looked cozy last night by the gazebo. Don’t worry no one else saw you but you need to be careful. I had to distract Samantha when you left the party,” he said smiling like the cat that got the canary.
    “Thanks for covering for me that could have been a disaster if she caught up to me.” I sighed.
    “Are you planning on sleeping with her? He said with a grin plastered over his face.  “You are , aren’t you; you devil that’s what this is all about?”  I hit him in the stomach.
    “No that ’s not what this is all about creep.”
    “I see the way she looks at you man, that girl is straight up feeling you big time, if she hasn’t already fall en in love with you.  So if sex is what you want I don’t think you’ll have a hard time getting it on with her.”  I was so excited to hear Mitch say that, he has no idea how hung up on her I am.  I don’t talk about much and if I do I would come off as a pussy.  I know she doesn’t believe me now, but I check for her big time and sex has nothing to do with it.
     
    I see the way she looks at me when she thinks I’m not looking.  I can feel her eyes on me stripping me bare, she always has that dreamy look on her face.  I love the see the flush on her face when she is caught looking at me, like she was caught doing some naughty things with me in her thoughts.  It’s going to be tricky trying to get to know Evelyn without having all these uptight motherfuckers all in my business.  I don’t want to jeopardize her job at the club. If Sam finds out I know she and her girls would do everything to get her fired. 
     
    I headed home and jumped in the shower and changed into a pair of jeans and a white button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up to my elbows.  I can’t wait to see her, I told her to meet me down by the lake at Addison Park.  It’s quiet over there and no one knows me, at least I don’t think so. It should be safe to hang out there for a bit.  I drove down to the beach.  When I got there I saw that she was already there waiting for me.  “You’re late” she said looking nervously around.
    “I’m sorry I ran behind on a couple of things I needed to get done , but I came as soon as I could get away,” I said walking toward her taking her hands in mine.
     
    She looks down at our hands her cheeks turning pink as she tries to look around at anything except at me. “Don’t worry no one will see you here with me, if that’s the reason you are so nervous?”  Her pink shade deepens even more. Like she was busted doing something she shouldn’t.  “No that’s not it I…I’m not use to…never mind,” she whispered trying to get her thoughts together.  I smiled loving how she reacts around me. “I figure we could talk and get to know each other better, what do you think about that?”  
     
    “Why do you want to get to know me? I’ve
