30 Minutes



It was at least 103 degrees outside. No amount of air conditioning could make the atmosphere comfortable. AJ slumped down on the couch across from Nick and flipped through the channels.

“What is the temperature outside now, hell?” AJ moaned. Nick opened his fifth beer and swallowed down a large gulp.

“Man, I don’t know. It feels like it though.” Nick replied, wiping his brow with the back of his hand.

“Let’s go to Orlando. I bet there are mad sexy girls out there at Disney.” AJ suggested, with a little excitement in his voice.

“Yep, wearing next to nothing cause of the heat.” They both smiled and agreed to go without voicing it.

Nick grabbed the rest of the beers and they both jumped in his truck. AJ turned the AC on as far as it could possibly go, then he sat back and covered his eyes with his hat. Nick finished off his beer and threw the bottle in the back.

“Wait a second, I can’t drive, you ought to.” Nick reasoned, knowing fully how inebriated he was. When he looked out of the windshield, he couldn’t even see the front gate.

“Yeah dude, you’re wasted.” They switched seats and AJ pulled out into the street. Nick almost immediately fell asleep as soon as they got on the beltway.

Meanwhile, Ava was slipping on her new bikini and checking herself out in the mirror. Her best friend Myah passed her an ice-cold bottle of Mike’s Hard Lemonade and she popped the cap off to drink it down.

“Almost ready Ava? We wanna go!” Carrie shouted from the front door. Ava and Myah grabbed the drinks and headed for the van. Lora and Jen were already in the back seat waiting.

“I hope there are some hot guys there.” Lora said before tossing a few cheetos into her mouth.

“Yeah, but Ava just hopes that Jason is there working today.” Myah was referring to Ava’s ex-boyfriend who happened to work one of the roller coasters at Disney during the summer.

“I am not going just to see him. And I am so over him, it isn’t funny! In fact, I hope I don’t see him.” Ava spat back.

“Yeah, I bet.” Myah chimed. Ava shoved her and Myah shoved her back. At that very moment Nick and AJ were scoping out every female who walked by.

“Now she is nice. I love a girl with a nice round butt.” AJ whispered to his friend as a tall, tanned blonde walked up to the ice cream stand near them.

“Oh but wait, look who just came in. I like the one in the pink.” Nick pointed at Ava and her friends with his eyes. They had just gone through admissions.

“Oh yeah, she is definitely sexy.” AJ agreed without hesitation. The girls walked past the boys without even noticing them sitting there. AJ and Nick decided to follow them.

Ava wanted to get on the first water ride they saw. The guys found a bench near that particular ride and waited.

“I bet you any amount of money that I can do that girl before the park closes.” Nick joked.

“You’re on!” AJ shouted back. “You’re way too wasted to get her. Besides, you have no pick-up skills.” Nick rolled his eyes.

“I was just kidding around. But since you went and insulted me, I have no choice but to go through with it.” He waited until Ava and her friends got off of the ride to approach her. Jason had seen her at that same time and decided to swing over as well.

“Excuse me, I couldn’t help but notice how breathtaking you look in your swimsuit. And the way the water makes your skin glisten is just unbelievable.” Ava blushed, and when she saw Jason coming toward them, she smiled up at Nick and batted her eyes.

“Thank you. That’s sweet.” Jason stopped. Ava smiled harder. Myah and the others stood back and watched as if it were a soap opera about to come to a climax.

“My name’s...” Nick began.

“Nick Carter. I already know who you are. Who doesn’t?” She teased. AJ sat back and shook his head in shame.

“And your name is?” He asked.

“Ava. Listen, cut all the small talk and let’s get some shade and something to eat. It’s boiling out here and my stomach is empty.” She grabbed his arm keeping Jason in view through the corner of her eye. Nick looked over at AJ before leaving and winked.

Jason stood there, green with envy. He was brought out of his concentration on the couple when he heard Myah, Carrie, and Lora laughing at him.

Nick and Ava went and sat at a table under a large umbrella. The vendor had a fan blowing on rotation. Every few seconds the air would blow Ava’s hair out of her face. They ordered two burgers with fries and two sodas. As they waited, they talked.

“So, what made you come out here on such a hot day?” Nick enquired. Ava shrugged and looked over at Jason.

“We knew that no one would be here. I mean look at the place, There are hardly any lines and we have all of the rides to ourselves. All because of the heat wave. It’s great! Why are you here?” Nick couldn’t think of anything logical to say so he just told the truth.

“To find a beautiful girl to chill with tonight.” Ava saw that their food was ready so she stood up to get it, then sat back down. She picked a french fry up from Nick’s share and fed it to him, knowing Jason was still watching. Jason continued watching throughout the entire meal.

“I got some beer in my truck, you want?” Ava nodded yes, She was getting tired of drinking soda, and she wanted a good buzz. Nick still hadn’t recovered from his.

“Cool, let’s go.” The sun was going down slowly, Nick threw their trash away and wrapped his arms around her. They walked by Jason’s ride and he scoffed. Ava smiled at him and waved.

AJ was making progress with the girl who dressed up as Jasmine from Aladdin when he saw Nick leave the park with Ava. They went to his truck and got in the back seat. Nick leaned up into the front and put the key in the ignition so that he could turn on the air and play some music. Ava got a long-neck from the cooler in the trunk and took a drink passing it to Nick.

As he drank, she took a long look at him and found him quite attractive. A far cry from her usual choice in men. Jason was short and skinny. He always wore very baggy pants and KoRn shirts. His tongue and eyebrow were pierced and he often died his hair wild colors. She was into those kinds of guys. But Nick was tall and had a muscular build. He took his shirt off and threw it in the back. She looked at his arms and how think they were. She couldn’t help but reach over and touch them, feeling the hard muscle. His hair was a nice dirty blonde, slightly spiked. And instead of huge black baggy jeans with safety pins down the side like Jason’s, he wore regular denim jeans that hung off of him just right. Yes, Nick was different from her usual taste, but he was certainly delicious to look at.

“So, are you a college girl, a high school girl, or neither?” Nick asked, passing the bottle back to her.

“Well, I graduated high school last month. I’ll start at Spellman this September.” Nick was impressed. Then again, he was impressed by anyone who went for a higher education. He never had the chance and the older he got, the more he doubted he’d ever go back to school.

“Sounds good. Real good. Since I missed your graduation, we’ll have to celebrate a little late.” He kissed her on the lips and put his hand on her thigh. Ava didn’t object. She was ready for a little adventure in her life. And a little risk. She kissed Nick back and moved over to sit on his lap. Without thinking things through, Nick untied her bikini top and tossed it to the floor of the truck. Ava unzipped Nick’s jeans and slid them down a few inches to his thighs. Just enough to feel his erection through his boxers. It wasn’t long before they were down too.

Nick pulled Ava’s shorts off and then her thong. They kept kissing and getting their clothes out of the way.

“You got something?” Ava asked before kissing Nick’s ear. He reached for his jeans and in the wallet were two condoms. Both Lifestyles. One ribbed and the other regular. Ava chose the ribbed and quickly tore it open with her teeth. Nick was about to put it on when Ava took it back and put it on for him. He was pleased with this and showed it by playing with her chest.

The next thing she knew she was having sex with him in the back seat of a Durango. Luckily the sun had set and no one could possibly see what they were doing through the tinted windows. Nick turned her over on the seat so that he was in the position he was familiar with. Ava came a little before he did. As soon as they were through, she put her bathing suit back on. Nick just pulled up his jeans, he didn’t bother to zip them. The two looked at each other and just laughed.

“I have never done that before.” Ava said in disbelief of her previous actions.

“You mean you were a virgin before this???” Nick panicked a little.

“No! I meant that I’ve never just done it with someone I hardly know. Don’t get me wrong, it was good. Just different.” Nick had to agree with her on that one. Ava was exhausted by then. She leaned over rested her head on Nick’s lap. Nick just sat back and closed his eyes.

Myah and the others had looked all over the park for Ava and her new friend, but they were no where to be found. They saw AJ getting “Jasmine’s” number, so they figured he might know where Ava was.

“Yeah, she left with Nick about 3 hours ago. I think I know where they are though.” He led them to Nick’s truck and there they were in the back seat. Myah decided to just let Ava stay there. She knew nothing terrible would happen anyway. AJ gave Myah his cell number just in case she really needed to reach Ava. After that, the girls left to go home.

AJ drove back to Tampa with Nick and Ava still asleep in the back. When they got to Nick’s house, he helped them both in and up to Nick’s room. Nick was too buzzed to know where he was being taken. Ava was the same. As soon as they were on Nick’s bed, they went right back to sleep.

AJ went out to the pool house and decided to get some rest. He was way too tired to drive back home. And he really wanted to see Nick’s face when he woke up with a hangover next to a strange girl.

Around six the next morning, Ava opened her eyes. She found herself in a strange room next to Nick. Her head ached and she felt sick to her stomach. She slid out of bed slowly and grabbed the phone to call a cab. She looked out of a window to determine where she was, then she gave the driver the name of the street.

Nick woke up a little later with the same symptoms Ava had. He ran to the bathroom instead of the phone. After throwing up ever ounce of liquor he had drank the night before, he went back to his bed and sat on the side.

“How’s we get here?” Nick asked, not remembering anything after they had sex.

“Where is here is what I’d like to know.” She looked around the room still unsure.

“We’re in my room, that’s where. AJ must of drove us home.” He rubbed his head and his face bunched up in pain.

“Well, wherever I am I need to get home. I can’t believe I did that last night.” She was disgusted with herself. She would never normally do that. It wasn’t the liquor because she wasn’t that drunk. Was it anger with Jason? Or was she just not thinking? Whatever it was, she was shocked with her decision the night before.

“Well, give me a while to sober up and I’ll drive you.” Nick suggested, yawning, then offending himself with the smell of his own breath.

“No, it’s ok. I called a cab. He’ll be here in about 15 minutes.” Nick would have insisted that he take her, but it wouldn’t have changed her mind. She waited at the front door for her ride and hardly said two words to him.

“Listen, give me your number and I can call you sometime. We can get together and see where things go.” Nick said, sipping some hot coffee.

“I don’t think that’s so wise. We should just leave this the way it was meant to be. A one-nighter. Nothing more.” Ava replied slowly. Nick knew she was right. It was just something that happened. Two ships passing in the night. After what they did, how could they expect to form a relationship?

“Ok then. I can deal with that.” He would have said more but the cab pulled up near the gate. Ava nodded her head at Nick as a goodbye and left. Nick just shrugged and shut the front door. Even though the separation was a bit odd, he enjoyed the sex they had the night before and had no real regrets.
