I was beyond pissed. Livid would be more accurate. It was supposed to be five of us on this trip. Now it was just that stupid girl with the pink hair that she clearly spent too much time and money on. She hadn't cancelled yet, but it was just a matter of time. She was only going because of Bryce anyway. He wasn't such a bad guy, but he was too nice to her. He should have just fucked her and left her. At least then she wouldn't be bothering the rest of us. She was always in the way without ever actually engaging.
I only open these overnight trips up to the mycological club once in the fall and once in the spring. I couldn't believe the others had flaked. I thought about taking the initiative and calling her, telling her the trip was off. I was going up into the woods and up the mountain regardless, but she didn't need to know that. She was so fucking stubborn she'd probably insist on going just to have something else to talk to Bryce about. She always played coy, sitting a distance from him, shying away from him when he'd approach her after the meetings. That stupid look she'd make when he got close to her, fuck I hated this girl.
I called, twice, with no answer. No surprise there. Left a message and decided to wash my hands of it. At least I'd be able to relax this weekend. I finished up with my pack, making a few different choices since it was just going to be me. I was running a bit behind schedule given the repack and really wanted to get up there for a bit before it got too dark.
I pulled into the parking area, a bit more relaxed and looking forward to a solo camping trip. I started up the path and nearly shit myself when she came practically skipping down the path towards me. Her pink hair bouncing behind her in that high and tight ponytail. She smiled and waved as she hurried up to me. "Didn't you get my message? Everyone else cancelled so I called off the trip." Her expression soured immediately.
"No, my phone died a few days ago and my new one won't be here until Monday. So, you called off the trip but you're still going?"
"Well with Bryce not going I figured you wouldn't either. Where's your car? How did you get here?"
"I had a friend drop me off." She put on a pout I was sure she'd practiced. "I'd still like to go. If that's okay?" She was being uncharacteristically submissive. I was more than half a foot taller than her. I didn't think I was that intimidating but it was clear she felt uncomfortable in the moment.
"Look, no offense, but you'll slow me down. Maybe you can just spend the weekend with Bryce or something? I'm sure you'd have more fun that way."
"Why do you think I give a shit about Bryce? He's a creep and won't take no for an answer. I try to stay clear of him as best I can while still being at the meetings."
"You...Are you serious? You're actually interested? You really want to learn about identifying and harvesting mushrooms?" Fuck me, if she was telling the truth I should have been some kind of barrier for her. Maybe she was just saying this now so I'd take her along.
"Yes! I want to learn everything you can teach me. Why do you think I put up with that asshole breathing all over me if I didn't want to learn so badly?" She seemed sincere. Damn it. How could I have been so wrong? Why did this girl just piss me off so much?!
I let out an audibly heavy sigh that seemed to make her all the more nervous. God this just ruined my trip, but I wasn't that much of an asshole after all. "Come on then. We have a few hours before we reach our site for the night." We started down our trail and I couldn't believe how small her pack was. I shook my head knowing she wasn't ready for this. At least she was wearing hiking pants and boots. I didn't know anyone's ass could look that good in hiking pants. Fuck.
She wasn't as fast as me, but she was trying, so I didn't give her too much shit. She was attentive as I showed her some markers to identify the couple of different mushrooms we'd found and how to harvest each type, what they were good for, that sort of thing. She'd brought a small notebook with her and actually took notes and did these quick, rough sketches. I found it adorable despite myself.
She had a habit of biting her thumb when she was thinking deeply. I found myself staring at her when she'd do this. I don't think she noticed. She didn't notice anything when she was lost in thought like that. She had perfect, creamy skin and these deep blue eyes. She had this kind of default smile that only faded when she didn't know you were looking at her. I wanted to know why she put up this faΓ§ade, but in truth I didn't really care. She wasn't so bad on her own, but I'd also be a lot happier once this weekend was over and I was no longer responsible for her.
She'd been quiet at first but slowly opened up. It was starting to get dark, and I decided we needed to stop and make camp. We didn't end up getting as far as I wanted, but it'd do. I'd been right. She hadn't brought nearly anything she needed. I was maybe a bit harsh lecturing her and I noticed her lip tremble faintly. She bit it before she kind of, broke I guess is how I'd describe it. I'd never seen her with that kind of energy before. She started yelling at me. "I brought everything you said we needed! I have everything that was listed on that stupid flyer you gave us!" I was taken aback by her tone and energy. Fuck. She was right. I was processing this when she stormed off.
I went after her, pulling her around to face me. "Hey, you're right. I'm sorry..." She was crying softly, and I cursed myself. She seemed so damn stubborn and unbreakable. I didn't think she'd be this fragile. "Hey, it's okay." She wouldn't meet my gaze as I looked at her and wiped away her tears with my thumbs. We stood like that until her eyes finally met mine and I rested a hand on the side of her face. She blushed as she brought her own hand up to cover mine. Looking down at her I felt my cock getting hard. How had I never noticed how breathtaking she was before?
I wanted to kiss her. Hell, I wanted to fuck her brains out. I wanted to put my mouth all over her, taste her, have her, and cover her with my cum. Instead, I cleared my throat as she batted her eyes at me and gave me a small but sweet smile that felt like the first real smile I'd ever seen from her. I told her that I was going to get some wood for a fire and for her to stay put. After I was sure she was far enough away I leaned against a tree, unzipped my pants, pulled my cock out, and began stroking. I imagined her kneeling in front of me, her mouth on my dick as I held that damn ponytail of hers and fucked her face. I muffled a groan as I came harder than I expected, letting my cum fly to the ground. I took a few deep breathes, my head a bit clearer, and headed back to camp.
"You forgot the firewood," she said immediately when I returned.
