Cherry Tree Drive

The Game.

"So why did you move back, Lys?" Joe asked, flipping a burger on the barbecue. The fire underneath the grill roared and he jumped backwards in surprise, nearly falling into the now freezing pool.
"Long story" I huffed, licking my lips, waiting for the burgers to be ready. I was starving! I still didn't know why Joe was being so nice to me. He'd always been such a bully and kind of a big brother figure to me. Why did that change?
"Maybe one for later on?" he breathed into my ear, now cautiously close behind me. I rolled my eyes and continued to read my story. A pair of hands suddenly were wrapped in my messy hair. What was he doing? I enjoyed it, funnily enough. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the feel of his rough fingers tugging, messing my hair.

I couldn't do this. He was a player. The girls had warned me. He'd always say about how many girls he'd slept with, and was for some reason proud of it.

I jolted forward and snapped my head towards him. His lips curled into an even bigger smile and his eyes crinkled around the edges. What was he playing at? He leaned down and his hot breath fanned across my neck. His lips pecked at my jaw bone as I lifted my head to give him more leeway. I exhaled a heavy, loud breath.

"I got dri - woah! What's happening..." Ashley stuttered. Joe jumped up and smiled again,
"Nothing, Ash. Do you want a burger?" Nothing? That was nothing? He got me hot and bothered... And it was nothing? Fuck. He had his way around me already.

"I don't know what to do" I spoke, explaining to Ness and Geo about what had happened.
"Maybe he's just playing a game" Geo suggested,
"Yeah, you should play along. Get him hot and bothered and begging for it" Ness agreed.
"I guess I could..." I answered. Geo butted in before I could get another word in,
"Look babe, I'm gonna have to get home, but you think about it."
"Me too baby doll" Ness said.

I waved the girls away and they left in Geo's new Ford.
"You staying, Weller?" Ashley asked the boy, currently eating MY ice cream out of the tub,
"Yeah, sure I guess" he answered, licking his lips. Did he ever go home? Wait. This was the perfect excuse to start the game. Yes!

I put on my new pyjamas - floaty shorts and an off-shoulder American flag printed shirt. The girls had done well guessing my size.

I woke with a warmth next to me. I turned towards it to try and get warmer. I opened my eyes. Joe. I jumped backwards and nearly fell off my bed,
"What are you doi-" Joe cut me off with his lips on mine. I was surprised at first but slowly sunk into the kiss as he tangled his hands in my hair again. I put my hand on his chest and pushed a little, backing him away from the kiss.
"Out" I commanded. I needed to remember the game! Not just give him what he wanted straight away! Confused, he lifted himself onto his elbow,
"Why?" he asked, brow furrowing.
"I need my beauty sleep" I grinned,kissed him on the forehead and turned over.

*A/N I'm sorry it took so long to update but I'm just so busy! Also I'm sorry it's so short, I just wanted to get this 'scene' out of the way as such. Hope you enjoyed!*
