Hopping? Not really

Axe opened the door for Sayen and bowed to her as she entered. She just giggled and headed to the bar. As he looked up he was met with worrisome looks from Makayla and Brian. As he made his way to the bar, Makayla jumped up and joined him, leaving Erik on the couch by himself. For his part Erik watched her from behind, his cock growing hard at the sight. He knew she wasn't dressed up for him, but he could sense where she wanted the night to go, and it didn't look like Alex was going to show.

Makayla was glad Axe was there, even though she had been hoping for a different boy to come through the door. She couldn't deny she enjoyed the attention Erik had been giving her... a lot. But...

"Is he done helping Gina?" Makayla asked Axe.

"Yup," he answered never looking up from the drink he was mixing. She looked to Sayen who just shrugged.

"Is... he... coming?" she cautiously followed up.

"Don't know, took off shortly after you, Bianca took off after him," he said finishing up the drinks and handing one to Sayen, nodding at her. She went and took a seat.

"Hey Axe bro, can you beer me?" Erik asked, trying to hide his amusement at the news.

"No problemo E-Man," Axe responded going to the fridge.

"Me too," Makayla weekly added, suddenly feeling a knot in her stomach as she sat down on a stool at the bar.

Axe grabbed a wine cooler for her and a Guinness for Erik. He handed each of them their drinks, then joined Sayen and Erik, sitting in a chair next to Sayen.

Brian grabbed a beer for himself and sat next to Makayla, their backs to the rest.

"You know Bianca's dealing with some stuff right now, I think... they are just trying to help each other." he told her to comfort her, and comfort himself. He leaned in closer to her, "Also, I get it, he can flatter you and make you feel like a million bucks, but you don't want... that," he added, quickly glancing back at Erik.

"I just... why did he run off, why isn't he fighting for us?" She asked, that feeling in her stomach returning, wondering if he saw Erik put his arm around her.

"I don't believe for a second he isn't fighting for you and I don't think you believe that either." Makayla nodded. "As for why he isn't here right now, that's just how he deals with things. I didn't see him for a week after the Kat thing. Then suddenly we were cool again. You haven't seen this side of him because since you two got together it's been all happy times."

Sayen rolled her eyes as Erik told one of his embellished stories to Axe.

"So I'm standing on Brian's shoulders, trying to grab a coconut to impress this chick, when Brian gets distracted by another pair of coconuts..."

"Oh please," Brian said jumping in, "You lost your damn footing on your own,"

"I think I"m going to grab another drink and get some fresh air," Sayen announced, standing up and heading to the fridge.

Brian turned back to Makayla as Erik continued telling Axe his story.

"Go find him. I'll distract Erik so you don't have to explain to anyone."

The thought of walking alone in the woods worried Makayla. Seeing the worry on her face, Brian mistook it as her being worried about Bianca.

"Don't worry, the moment he sees you, he'll forget anyone else is there. Go."

Brian stood up and smacked Erik on the shoulders.

"Pong time!"

As Erik cheered Makayla slipped out the door behind Sayen.
