The Darker Side of Me

Chapter 11: Is that a Challenge?

Throughout the rest of the night, I'd met more of his family. He never once let me go, alternating between holding my waist and holding my hand. It almost seemed more comfortable to be with him because we were now a couple. Sarah had come over to me and told me that her and Hunter were now an item so she already had our double date planned out. I laughed at her persistency and told her that I would do my best in convincing Logan to go out next week. She had it planned for Friday where we go out to dinner. It took a bit of...convincing to get the boys to agree but it happened. We were now all sitting by the pool with the other teens we'd met earlier. I learned that Jaxon's parents were good friends of Emma and that only his dad could make it. I met him and he seemed nice; I definitely got a better first impression of him than I did of his son. I then learned that Mackenzie was his sister and her boyfriend was Max. Andrew was with Gemma and now that Logan and I were together and Hunter was with Sarah, it left Jaxon as literally the only single one there.

Mackenzie swam over to me and Sarah. "Hey, all 4 of you need to join us in here," she smiled.

"We didnt bring bathing suits or towels," Sarah answered for both of us.

"Come with me, I have a couple extras in my room upstairs. You guys can borrow them for the night."

"We can't take your bathing suits," I said to her.

"Oh bull, loosen up its a party, come and get changed and have fun."

I looked at Logan and he just looked back into my eyes begging me to go. "Are you guys going in?" Sarah asked warily.

"Only if you girls are," Hunter answered hopefully.

"Which they are. Come on please?" Mackenzie begged.

I sighed in defeat and saw the smile grow on both Logan and Hunters faces. I shook my head at the reactions and stood up dusting off my butt. Logan stood up after me and lead me inside by my waist. We walked inside and my jaw dropped. Everything inside had warm inviting colours. There were 2 plasma screens in what I assume to be the living room and then the kitchen attached by an island. He walked me up the wood stairs and he turned right into what I took as his room with Hunter following in suite while Mackenzie dragged Sarah and I into the room directly across the hall. I went and sat on the bed and Sarah made herself comfortable in the computer chair. Mackenzie went into the bathroom and came out seconds later holding a brown and real blue bathing suite out to me, and a white one out to Sarah. I took the 2 piece out of her hand and looked at it. The top was a halter top that was all brown with real straps an bands that lined the top and bottom of the cups. The bottoms were bikini bottoms that had a small skirt attached that added a bit I flare to the bathing suit. Again it was all brown, but there were real bands at the top and bottom of the skirt. I honestly thought it was super cute and would look great against my skin tone. But then I saw the tag.

"I can't wear this, it's a Chanel original," I gaped.

"Oh relax. I want you to wear it, and I bet Logan does too," she winked.

"I don't really care I really can't wear this."

"I never do anyways. I mean, you can keep It if you really want."

"Absolutely not. I can't take this anymore than I can wear it."

"Please. I don't want to see you guys just sitting there awkwardly. I mean just loosen up and have fun. For me?"

I looked at her and the look in her eyes told me that I had no choice but to go and put the bathing suit on and meet her down at the pool. Sarah had already claimed the bathroomin this room as I was complaining about the designer of the bathing suit. So Mackenzie went across the hall to check if the boys were still in Logan's room. She came back and said that it was clear for use and I watched her walk out of the room. I yelled to Sarah where I was going and for her just to meet me outside. She yelled back an ok for confirmation and I went across the hall cautiously. I quietly slipped into the vacant room and walked straight into the bathroom at the back. I started getting changed and in about 10 minutes, I was ready to go. I took my hair out of the bun and put it up into a simple ponytail, muttering an apology to Sarah for ruining her masterpiece. I pulled back the strands of hair that lined my face but the curls that she'd put into my hair were still visible in my ponytail.
