From Then to Now

Chapter 6 Continue

"I guess so." He chuckles

I giggle and bite my lip.

"God, I'm an idiot." I whisper.
"Why?"

I look at him and shake my head.

"I thought that if I dated Mason, I would forget about you but today when we were talking about my scar... I don't know. I guess it reminded me why I fell for you."
"And now you have not only lied to Mason, but you lied to yourself." He finishes.

I nod and lean my head against his shoulder.

"You know another reason why I'm an idiot?" I ask.
"Why?" He asks.
"I refused to kiss him five minutes ago but I had no problem kissing you."

He nods and laughs.

"It's not funny!" I whine.
"Sorry."

I, the, laugh too but end up crying. He shooshes me and I bury my face in his chest.

"Why do you hate me?" I cry.

He looks completely shocked but his face changes to sadness.

"I think I've always known how I felt about you, I've just been to afraid to show it." He shrugs.

I look at him and his expression looks distant. Before I can reply someone screams.

"Wren!"

I look up and Mason is running towards us. I get up and walk to him.

"I'm sor-" he starts.
"No, I'm sorry. You were right and I lead you on. I'm not saying that I don't like you, I just like Michael more. I always have."

He nods but I can tell he is miserable. I kiss his cheek and one single tear falls. I turn around, leaving him there, and walk to Michael.

"You okay?" He asks.
"I think so." I answer, honestly.

He takes my arm in his and we start the walk home. As we come up to the beach house he stops me.

"What?" I ask.
"Let's go swimming." He smiles.
"I don't have a bathing suit."
"Neither do I."

I laugh and follow him to the back porch. I take off my dress and jewelry before taking down my hair. As I stand in my undergarments I blush when Michael winks.

"Let's go."

He pulls me down the beach and we run into the water.

"Holy Mother of Christ!" I say as my waist hits the freezing water.

He laughs and pulls me towards him. I escape his grip and swim away.

"You have to catch me first!" I challenge.

He smirks and races after me. I scream and swim as fast as I can. I look behind me after a minute and he is gone.

"Michael?" I yell.

No answer.

"Michael where are y-"

Before I can finish I am pulled below the surface. I look at the person who pulled me down and Michael is leaning in. I smile and lean in to. We kiss again but this time it isn't soft. If anything it is rough and desperate. We both resurface, still kissing.

"Wow." Is all I can say when we finally stop.

He smirks and we just stand there, his arms wrapped around my waist and mine around his neck. After what feels like a lifetime, we both decide to go in. I dry off before slipping on PJs and laying down. I can't help but smile, thinking of the night I just had. I close my eyes and go over the events, falling into a deep sleep.

Hey, so I'm sorry this is short but I wanted to continue on with ch.6. I hope you all liked this!
