I Love It: 10 Intense Stories to Keep the Passion Alive (Shameless Book Bundles 6)

by Saffron Daughter

  It didn’t last long, though, and he was home once more. His brilliant smile greeting me as he shed his coat, sizing up my pregnant belly with such excitement.

  “How is she?” he asked, coming to me and dropping to one knee to stroke my stomach and lean in for a sweet kiss.

  So maybe, once upon a time, I might have been jaded against love at first sight, or the concept of soul mates. But as I smiled down on him, stroking his hair and my stomach, I knew he was the one.

  One: Allie

  Ding.

  “Please ensure that you retrieve all of your belongings as you exit the aircraft. And thank you for flying with us today,” the captain’s voice echoes throughout the cabin.

  I’m already out the door…I can’t wait to get downstairs to see my friends! I practically run up the ramp and into the terminal.

  Has it really been a year since I was here?

  I look out the window to see the familiar country landscape: flat fields, a few trees, and lots and lots of corn!

  A year in New York City—away at college—and I already feel like a stranger in a strange land! But this is my home—or at least, it was the first 18 years of my life!

  The friends I made here are truly the loves of my life! I talk to them all the time, even if we’re a thousand miles apart. We’ve known each other since we were in preschool! And I love them all…every single one!

  But there’s one friend in particular that I’m looking forward to seeing most—Phin! My best friend.

  Phin and I are soulmates! And YES, I’m aware of just how corny that sounds! But it’s true—he and I were born to be soulmates. Here…let me explain:

  We’ve been inseparable since we were toddlers, we have the same taste in music, in movies…in everything! We always took the same classes in school—he let me copy his English homework, and I let him cheat off me in Math. We complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses perfectly.

  And, weirdly, we have exactly the same birthday…which is today!

  To be honest, that’s why I flew back home today. I had to move heaven and earth to be here…but a promise is a promise. We always said that we’d spend our birthdays together…no matter what! Last year when we graduated from high school, we celebrated our birthday together (just like every year), but then I left the very next week to start a freshman summer program. And then school started and then…well…time passed. We turned 18 together last year, but we really haven’t seen each other at all since then.

  It’s not that we haven’t talked, though…and it’s not like I didn’t want to come visit…it’s just hard when you’re so far away. You know how it is, right?!

  Plus, if I’m being completely honest, it was hard to think about Phin back here, working in Archie’s Garage fixing cars…instead of being with me in college, where he should be.

  We were supposed to go to New York together, but his family hit some hard times, lost all their money…his dad lost the family business. And Phin did what he thought he had to do: stay behind and help earn money for the family.

  Anyway…enough of that sad stuff! I’m just so happy to be back home here, even if it is only for one night! Oh, yeah…I forgot to tell you, I’m flying out tomorrow morning. I’m off to Europe! Paris, actually! I’m doing a study abroad program through school, and it starts in three days, so I absolutely, positively must leave first thing in the morning.

  And, yes, it would have been much easier to just fly from New York. But I couldn’t flake on Phin. We made a promise…and that’s sacred. Plus, I just feel like we have some unfinished business—he needs to leave home and go to college. He just needs to! Maybe by coming home and seeing him face to face, I can convince him to go?

  Anyway, tonight, we’re gonna celebrate our birthdays the way we should…together. A few hours is all we have, so I plan to make the most of it!

  As I walk through the “Arrivals” part of the terminal, I scan the crowd, looking for his familiar face. And then I see him!

  Oh my god! I scream inside my head. There he is…there’s Phin!!

  Two: Phin

  Where is this girl?

  The board says she arrived at Gate 17 like ten minutes ago, but I don’t see her anywhere.

  Shouldn’t she be coming down these steps right here?

  I turn around and check the clock on the wall again: 4:47 PM. She really should be down here by now. I wonder what’s taking so long—could she have missed her flight?

  No, that’s not like her at all, Phin…just calm down, bud, I tell myself. She’ll be here any minute now.

  All of a sudden, a pair of hands reaches up and covers my eyes.

  “Guess who, Phinny Phin, Phin?!” a sexy voice nuzzles up to my ear.

  I feel my face break into a smile automatically.

  “Hmmmm…Mom? Is that you?!” I ask, teasingly.

  I spin around and wrap Allie up in my arms, twirling her.

  Goddamn! I missed this girl so much! I think to myself.

  I set her down on the ground and give her a real hug, squeezing her as tightly as I can. Without even realizing it, I’ve gotten a raging-hard boner! And the worst part is that I only figure it out because it jabs her right in the leg!

  “Whoa!” she shrieks. “Easy there, big guy! I mean, I’d ask if you missed me, but I guess I already know the answer, huh?!”

  I feel my face turn red as an apple, and I do that awkward thing where you stick your butt backward and then pretend like you didn’t just poke the girl you like most in the whole world with your boner.

  “Uhhhh,” I try to explain. “So, how was your…um…flight…”

  “Haha…what?!” she interjects. “No! Uh uh! You’re not getting away with a boner poke that easily, mister!”

  She reaches up and tickles me, and I burst out laughing.

  “Okay, okay…” I say, laughing it off. “I’m sorry I just poked you with my boner. There, I said it…are you happy now?”

  “Yes, birthday boy, I am,” she says, looking around. “Hey, where’s everyone else?”

  “SORRY! I didn’t realize I wasn’t enough for you, birthday girl!”

  “No…you know I don’t mean it like that! I just thought the whole group was gonna pick me up, right?”

  “Well,” I begin. “Look, everyone really did wanna be here. But this is a tough time of year—and you’re not giving any of us much leeway…you’re only here for one freaking night!”

  “I know…I know,” she says. “So what, no one’s coming?”

  “Well, I’m still here!” I laugh. “John’s still in school, Brit’s not back either yet…Mark’s out of town with his brother, and Pauline and Phil said that they could maybe meet up later after work.”

  She punches me in the arm, playfully.

  “So I’m stuck with you, then, hmmmm?”

  “You’re stuck with me,” I say. I lift her bag up off her shoulder and grab her hand. “Come on…let’s get outta here and go have some fu
n!”

  We walk for a second and then she kicks me lightly on my butt. I kick her back, and then we both start running.

  God, I’ve missed this girl! She’s just so much fun!

  No one else ever just spontaneously runs through an airport with me or anything like that. We really are soulmates…I know that’s what we said to each other in the past anyway. And, to be honest, it hasn’t always felt like it this past year. But right now, it doesn’t feel like anything’s changed.

  It feels like we’re just Phin & Allie again!

  It’s been a hard year having her gone…but all that bullshit just fades away now that we’re together again.

  “Over there,” I shout, pointing to my truck.

  We keep on running, zigging and zagging, and then we collapse against the side door, breathing heavily.

  After a moment, she turns to me, still panting, and says:

  “Come on, mofo! This birthday isn’t gonna celebrate itself!”

  Three: Allie

  My god! Is his…thing…really that big?!

  I catch myself thinking about Phin’s bulge as I jump up into his truck. It’s funny, but in all these years we’ve known each other, we’ve never seen each other naked…and I’ve never felt his manhood before!

  But now, as he revs up the engine and pulls out of the parking space, it’s all I can think about!

  I mean, come on! He must have a sock down there or something…it can’t really be that huge, can it?!

  Just change the subject, Allie! This is your best friend…don’t make it awkward!

  “So what’s first on our birthday agenda, Phinny Phin?” I ask him, excitedly.

  “You tell me! I mean…you’re only in town for one night, right? So we’re gonna do whatever you wanna do.”

  “Hmmmm…I don’t know,” I say, trying to figure out something fun. “What about if we drive out to the old field where we used to play hide and seek as kids?”

  A huge smile spreads across Phin’s face.

  “Really?” he asks. “You’re sure that’s what you wanna do right now?”

  “I’m sure…definitely.” And then I add, “Why are you smiling like that? What do you know that I don’t know?”

  “Oh, nothing…no reason,” he says, smiling even bigger.

  “What?” I ask, insistently.

  “No, nothing…it’s just that I knew you were gonna say the field.”

  “Really?”

  He takes his eyes off the road and looks into mine, nodding his head.

  “I was thinking that it’d be nice to go out there, too,” he says. “You know…just relive some old memories, right?”

  “Yeah…exactly,” I say, dreamily.

  The afternoon sun is dipping down in the sky, and I feel myself being lulled into a wonderful sense of calm…of being at home…of being with him…

  I watch out the window as the little hills rise and fall, feeling myself relax.

  And then, we make the little turn off the main road, heading up a narrow dirt trail toward “the field,” where we used to spend so much time as kids.

  “Hey, do me a favor and close your eyes, okay?” he says.

  “What?! Why?” I ask nervously.

  “Well, things have uh…you know…I just wanna get right up to the field before you see anything…just…just trust me, okay?”

  I give him an inquisitive look and then say:

  “Okay…what’s going on?…I mean…”

  But he cuts me off:

  “Just play along, okay? Trust me.”

  I give him another look as the truck climbs up over a little hill. Then I close my eyes.

  I feel the car begin to descend.

  And I wonder: what the hell could be going on?!

  Four: Phin

  God I hope I’m not making a mistake!

  Bringing her out here like this…surprising her in this way…and in our favorite childhood spot.

  This could backfire…big time!

  I grip the steering wheel tightly, feeling how slick it is.

  Have my palms been this sweaty the whole drive out here?

  I realize that I need to calm down a bit and just enjoy the moment. I mean, the worst she can do is say no, right? The worst she could do is say she doesn’t feel the same way about me…

  Of course, then I’ll be rejected, humiliated…and our friendship will probably never be the same again for the rest of our lives. But other than that, I guess things should be fine!

  There it is now…I see the spot I spent all morning fixing up. A blanket, picnic basket, wine, flowers: a bouquet of yellow roses and then rose petals everywhere. Yellow’s her favorite color…as if I could ever forget!

  I glance over at her in the passenger seat.

  “Almost there…keep ’em shut!”

  My god, she’s so beautiful! I’ve missed her so much this year! I just hope she feels even half as strongly about me as I do about her!

  I wave my hand in front of her closed eyelids.

  “No peeking, now…promise?!”

  “I’m not looking!” she says, giggling. “What are you doing?!”

  “You know…just taking you out to the middle of nowhere…nothing scary, though, I promise!” I reassure her.

  Almost there, now. I wipe my palms on my pants, trying to stay as calm as I can.

  I pull the truck to a halt and turn off the engine. I take a quick glance out the window—everything looks perfect. Even the sun is at just the right angle.

  I really did plan this out perfectly! I allow myself to have a moment of pride. Hey…it’s not every day you confess your deep, abiding love for your best friend…your soulmate…

  Five: Allie

  “Okay…so we stopped like a minute ago! I’m dying here!” I tell him, pretending to be angry.

  “Just keep ’em closed!” he tells me quickly.

  I feel Phin take me by the hand. He’s got those perfect kind of hands: strong, a bit rough, but still with a tender touch.

  “Just let me come around to the other side and help you out.”

  I hear him open, then close, his door. A moment later, he opens the passenger door and takes my hands.

  “So just step down…careful…” he tells me.

  I jump down, and we walk around toward the front of the truck. I feel the warm summer air on my skin and through my hair. Besides the wind, there’s not a sound…it’s perfectly peaceful.

  “Okay…so just keep stepping with me. It’s all level, so just keep walking forward,” he tells me. He has one hand holding mine…his other hand is around my shoulders, guiding me.

  When did he get so strong? I ask myself. I can feel his muscles through his shirt. What a difference a year makes! My Phin’s a man now… If only I could get another chance to feel his bulge…

  He stops me from walking any farther and turns me around so I’m facing back toward the truck (I think).

  “Okay, you ready?”

  “Yes! What is all this? Can I open yet?”

  “Yeah…open your eyes,” he tells me, softly.

  I do, and I see in front of me a beautiful set up. There are yellow roses everywhere…my favorite! And there’s a bunch of little trinkets all spread out on a wide blanket…what is all this? Is that our high school yearbook? My mind is racing trying to figure out what all this is…and what it all means…

  Before I have a chance to ask him anything, though, he takes my hand and looks me in the eye.

  “Allie, listen…we’ve always said we were each other’s soulmates. And I guess I kinda always thought of us as best friends. I still do…don’t get me wrong. But having you gone this past year… Well…what I’m trying to say…” he fumbles a bit. Are those tears in his eyes?

  “It’s just that,” he continues. “I love you. I think I always have…and it took you leaving for college for me to realize it. We really are soulmates.”

  I feel the tears welling up in my eyes, and I don’t even try to hold them back. The little
streams run down my cheeks. Quickly, I try to wipe them away.

  “Is there any chance,” he continues. “That you might feel the same way at all?”

  I look down for a moment and see the roses again, our yearbook, a movie ticket stub, an old frisbee we used to play with as kids…

  Looking back up into his face, I burst into tears.

  “Yes…oh, Phin…yes! I can’t believe you feel this way about me! I love you so much! I can’t believe how much, actually!”

  He doesn’t waste another second. Before I quite know what’s happening, his lips are on mine, and we’re sharing our very first for real kiss together!

  Six: Phin

  Damn! Her lips are even softer than I thought they’d be!

  Did she notice the yearbook? I spent so much time finding all that stuff: the movie ticket from that time we went to the midnight showing…and the hat she gave me for my birthday when I got my driver’s license. I hope she understands…I just want her to see how much she means to me!

  These and a thousand other thoughts race through my mind as I swirl my tongue around in Allie’s mouth.

  She tastes completely amazing!

  Her hands are all over me, and I realize that mine have been exploring her body this whole time, too. The moment is just going by so fast—it’s perfect, and I want to remember everything.

  Suddenly, I’m aware that I’m jabbing my boner into her again.

  She pulls back and looks at me in shock.

  “What?” I ask her. I see her eyes dart down toward my crotch. “Oh…that! Sorry…I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to…”

  “No…it’s…I like it.”

  “You do?” I ask, surprised.

  She gets an embarrassed look on her face.

  “Yes,” she admits, sheepishly. “And thank you so much for setting all this up! It’s just…it’s so…I just never expected any of this. But I was hoping…”

  “You were?” I ask her. “I mean…do you really feel the same way?”
