Trying to be happy.

Chapter 9:

We've been driving for an hour.We played the license plate game,I spy and stop by Taco Bell because I wanted a smothered burrito.We are now humming along to The Fray song,How to save a life.
"Do you want to stop at a convenient store before we are driving in the middle of nowhere."Drew asks me at a red light.
"Sure."I answer while he turns into Exxon.
"What do you want?"He asks taking off his seatbelt.
"I will come."I say,doing the same action he did only seconds ago.His eyes take down my body as if he trying to decide if he should let me come.He nods and get out of his car and opens the door for me.We walk hand in hand into the store.When we get in there I get an Arizona tea and some Doritos,when i walk over to Drew he is holding A bag of skittles,starburst,and a coke.We pay for it walk back out to the car.I should feel bad,but Drew and i are just friends and Eric overreacted.

...

"How long until we are there?" i whine after 3 hours of driving.

"Here we are."He smiles and we pull up to a large wooden cabin.

"It's very nice!" I beam when we walk into the cabin.

"Where is my room."I ask looking around taking in the beautiful sight.

"Well since we are just friends and can not sleep in the same bed,I thought maybe we could sleep in the living.Like a sleepover type thing."He answers.

"That'll be super fun."I answer happily.

"Do you wanna go on the boat now or do you want to eat?"Drew asks.I ate the whole drive so i'm not really hungry.

"Let's go on the boat."I finally decide.

"Okay you can change in the bathroom i'll change out here."I nod and walk into the hall like i know where i am going.

"Third door on the right."Drew seems to read my thoughts.I step into the bathroom and start to take off my clothes and notice I still have a bruise on my boob.So i get into my black bikini and openn the door.

"Drew,will you please get the concealer out of my Purple make-up bag."I ask.

"Sure Jazzy."he answers.Three minutes later,Drew opens the door.

"Sit down."He instructs softly.I nod and sit on the edge of the tub.He dips the paper towel into the concealer and starts to wipe where my bruise is.It us a simple touch but my body is on fire.He dips it once more and wipes over it again.When he is done he stands up.
"Ok let's go then."He say pulling the string on his trunks to loosen them.I blush because I know why he is trying to loosen them.
"Yea." I answer my mouth is dry.We walk out of the bathroom and out of the cabin.I quietly follow Drew to the beach right by his cabin.The beach is beautiful the sand is soft and the water is crystal blue.I don't see the boat though.
"What the ."Drew mumbles taking his phone of the small bag we packed.He dials number and puts a finger up to me telling me to hold on.I decide to enjoy the beach.I start running through the sand,just so I can't feel it on my toes.Then when I fall I roll around in the soft sand.I run to shore and put my feet in the water.A tide comes and scream as I fall into the water and I hear a chuckle behind me.I look up to see Drew smiling ear to ear,obviously amused by my distress.
"Sorry about that the boat will be her soon."Drew says helping me up.
"It's ok."I say sitting down.Drew sits next to me.
"I'm sorry about Eric and how he overreacted on you." Drew say,his beautiful smile turning into a awful frown.
"It's ok,some things just aren't meant to be."I say the moment the boat pulls up.Drew stands up before helping me and walking into the boat.
"Hey Julio."Drew says to a Mexican man behind the wheel of the boat.Julio nods not making contact with me.We go to the back of the boat and sit down.The boat starts to move and look out of the boat.Wow this is so cool.
Drew's P.O.V
I watch Jazzy carefully while she looks in amazement at God's most beautiful creation in her eyes.I'm looking at mine too,Jasmine is so beautiful.I really like her I wish she would give me a chance.Baby steps,Drew,Baby steps.
"This is so amazing,Drew."The beauty speaks.
"Yea you are."I say and instantly look away,i did not mean to say that.She just smiles.
"Thank you."She says still smiling.
"Your welcome."I say.
"So tell me about the boat,it is so awesome."She says looking around the boat.I go into details about how and when the boat was made.We talk for hours on end about school,our favorite tv shows,and our love for reading.Jasmine now has her head resting on my shoulder while we look out on the ocean.I look down at her smile,hoping one day she will be mine.
"Drew,look!"Her voice breaks me out of the thoughts of our future.I look up to see a whale.She watches in amazement,looking so much younger than she really is.She hurries to grab her phone out of the bag and takes and picture,before putting it back.
"That was so neat."She beams and that alone makes me want to grab her and just kiss her all over.
"Yea."I answer smiling.I hear her stomach rumble so I tell Julio to head back to shore.When we get back to the cabin I am caught off-guard by Jazzy hugging me.
"Thank you,that was the coolest thing ever."She says into my chest.
"Yea I had a lot of fun too."I say smiling she lets go.
"I'm hungry Drew."She says.
"I'll take you to the restaurant near by."I say and she smile and grabs a red,spaghetti strap shirt,white shirts,a black bra with lace trimming on the top,and matching panties,and walks into the bathroom.I grab a white shirt,gray jeans,and black boxer.I take off my trunks and hurry and get dressed,before Jasmine comes.She steps out of the bathroom just as I slip my shoes on.Her hair is in a ponytail and she has on he black sandals I just brought her.
"Let's go" I say grabbing my keys and phone.She nods grabbing her purse and her phone.The car ride is silent not awkward just silent.Dinner is filled with her talking about some Wattpad Series called After.She talks about the two characters Harry and Tessa and how their love is something special that she has never see before.When we get back to the cabin we shower,separately sadly.She ends up wearing my shirt to bed.The night ends with 20 questions.Jazzy falls asleep and after about 10 minutes of listening to her silent sleep I join her in slumber.
