Yearning (Grayson Dolan) 2

Bethany's POV

I pushed off the stranger and saw it was the boy from my dream.

"Whoa there." he stood with a smirk.

"Um-" I got cut off by Grayson running to my side.

"Damn Bethany where did- Oh, um who are you?"

"Im Jack."

"Jack.." I whispered it at the same time he said it.

"Jack...?" Grayson said looking kind of upset.

"Jack Dail."

"Why were you um, why were you kissing her?" he said shaking his head.

"She kissed me."

"No I didn't!" Grayson got in front of me and pushed me back a little.

"She looks like fun." he winked.

"She's off limits."

"I'll pay you."

"Fuck off." I spat.

"No, she's mine." I appreciated the protectiveness but I wasn't anybody's property.

"C'mon lets go." I said grabbing his arm with both of my small hands.

"See you around baby." he smirked like a fucking idiot.
Grayson turned around to try and punch him but I pulled him with all my strength.

"It's not worth it." I said grabbing his face to turn it to me.

The darkness in his eyes softened when he looked at me.
When I turned to look at Jack he was walking away.

"Lets go to your car." I said grabbing hand and smiling at him.

"Why?" he asked, he seemed more calm, almost like what just happened never happened.

"So we can finish where we left off earlier." I smirked.

"Here?" he said looking around for any people. "Usually I wouldn't mind... but I want us to be completely sealed off from the world, you and I, for your first time.

I looked at him in awe. He was truly the best ever. "Fine then lets go swimming in the lake." He smirked at my suggestion. He swiftly took off his shirt and started unbuckling his pants.

"Your turn princess." I blushed at him calling me princess. This felt so natural, being with him.

I took off my shirt and slipped off my pants.
"I don't have a bathing suit so..."

"It's perfect." he said taking a hold of my hand.
He led us to the car so we could put our clothes in there and get some towels he had in his trunk.

We walked to the lake and I stopped once my toes hit the water.

"It's so cold!" I whined.

"Don't be a pussy c'mon!"

"You love the cold don't you?"

"Why do you say that?"

"You're always shirtless when it snows. You almost never wear sweaters."

"Maybe I'm always warm, but I guess your right." he said shrugging.

"I'm always r- GRAYSON PUT ME DOWN!"
He picked me up off my feet, and before I knew it I was over his shoulder.

"We are going to swim." He said walking towards the water.

"Okay okay just don't throw me! Please put me down!

"Whatever you say."
And I fell into the water.
I came back to the surface and wiped my eyes.

"Oh my gosh! I hate you!"

"No you don't." he said wrapping his arms around me and pulling me closer to him. My chattering teeth stopped once I was held in his embrace.
He was always warm now that I think about it.

I brought my hands up to my mouth and rested my head on his chest.

This wasn't a dream. This was real.

"Remember in sixth grade when you stepped in poop and everyone voted for you to leave your shoe outside." he asked laughing.

I laughed into his chest. Embarrassed that he remembered that.

"How do you remember?"
I could feel his laughing vibrate from his chest. Something I fell in love with at this moment.

"I remember a lot of things about you Bethany."

"Why did you hate me?"

There was a quiet pause for a moment.

"Because I saw how happy you were, and how unhappy I was, I wanted to be your friend, but you were so happy, I couldn't ruin that. And when your brother died... I- I saw what that did to you. I wanted to go to you so bad, but I learned to hate you that I didn't care. Or at least I said I didn't. I didn't know what love was. I didn't want it. I just wanted pussy." he said with a serious voice. "But Bethany, while you were thinking I hated you, I was always looking out for you in the stands."

A tear fell from my eye.

"No baby girl, please don't cry." he said cupping my face.

"I- I just didn't know that all this time you were hiding yourself from me."

"No more hiding." he said and placed his hand on the bottom of my chin and tilted my head up to face him. His lips leaned on mine and I gradually kissed him back.
The sun setting was just perfect.
This moment was perfect. And everything about him was perfect.
