Page 57 of Promising You
“She’s tiny. Like 90 pounds tiny. Anyway, that skirt would be great with a tank top and some sandals.” She hands me a stack of t-shirts. “You can toss these if you don’t want them. My sister gets way too many t-shirts. She already gave a ton away but I saved these for you.”
“You’re giving me all of these?” I flip through the stack, noticing all the colors. Harper knows I only wear black or white shirts, so I’m guessing this is her attempt to get me to wear different colors. And maybe I will. Garret always says he’s tired of seeing me in black or white. I’m kind of sick of it myself.
“And these, too.” She hands me a couple sundresses. “These will be perfect for your summer in California. If I’d known you were doing that, I would’ve got you some bikinis.” She gets her phone out. “I’ll text my sister and have her save some for you.”
I don’t bother stopping her. She’s getting me those bikinis whether I want them or not, and itwouldbe good to have some for the summer.
“I need to get over to Sean’s. Do you need help taking this stuff to your room?”
“No, I can handle it. Thanks again for all this. It’s like I’ve got a whole new wardrobe.”
“Free stuff is one of perks of having a celebrity in the family.”
Back in my room, I start trying stuff on. It’s fun getting new clothes. Growing up, I never had any. All my clothes came from the thrift store.
I try on the denim skirt first along with a red fitted t-shirt.
“Jade, are you in there?” Garret knocks on the door.
“Yeah. Come in.” I adjust my skirt as he walks in the room. “Hey. You want to go have lunch or something?”
His eyes drift over my body as he closes the door. “Or something sounds good. Where did you get the new clothes?”
“Harper’s sister was getting rid of them. But the skirt was a Christmas gift from Harper. Do you like it?” I spin around.
“Do I like it? Are you kidding? I love it.” He leads me to the bed, sits down, and places me on his lap. “Skirts are freaking awesome.” He runs his hand up and down my bare legs.
I laugh. “I didn’t know you liked them so much. She got me another one. Do you want to see it?”
I start to get up but he holds me down and kisses me as his hand continues up my leg under the skirt and straight to my panties. Now I get why he likes skirts.
“Garret, don’t you want to see my other skirt?”
“Surprise me with it next time. I’m liking this one right now.”
He kisses me again as he lays me down on the bed. His hand brushes my thigh as it heads right back under the skirt.
“Damn, Jade,” he says, his breathing heavy. “I can’t believe you never wore one of these for me before.”
From the way he’s reacting, I think he might like this skirt thing as much as I like doing it in the shower. Who knew a simple skirt could have such an effect on him? It makes me wonder what else he likes.
After we’re done with what Garret is now referring to as “skirt sex” I put my regular clothes back on.
“I’m definitely buying you more skirts,” he says as he watches me put away my new clothes. “Be sure to thank Harper for me.”
“She got me some sundresses, too.” I take one out and show it to him. It’s short and has tiny straps at the top.
Garret’s smiling. “You should let Harper pick out all your clothes.”
I hang the dress back in the closet. “She’s having her sister send me some bikinis for the summer. I don’t think I’ve ever worn a bikini.”
“When you get them, I expect a fashion show.”
“Hey, did you call that real estate agent yet?” I go and sit next to him on the bed.
“No, but I got the number from my dad. He actually thought it was a good idea that we live together this summer. He didn’t even care that we’re going to California. Can you believe that? I was expecting a lecture when I told him.”
“About that. I think we should pick somewhere else to go. Do you know how much beach rentals cost?”
