The Perfect Wave (On Hold)

Chapter 15: That's It.

Erica's POV

"Imma go hang out with Jaimee, Elliot and Brandon. I'll see you later, Babe." Luke pecked my lips, "Okay." 

Luke walked out the door, and I turned to Jenna. "Movie day?"

She shook her head, "Beach day. Get dressed."

Elliot's POV 

No. 

Hell no. 

I am not hanging out with Erica's boyfriend today. I yanked Jaimee aside, glaring at him. "Just 'cause you don't like him, doesn't mean he's not still my best friend."

I held my hand out. "You're not getting my keys." My jaw clenched once again.

"Just bowl. You don't have to talk. You don't even have to listen. I'm just trying to get you out of the house."

"Guys!" Luke called. I turned to him annoyed. "Ready to bowl?" He asked. He's either an idiot and completely oblivious, or an asshole and completely ignored my annoyed look. "Yeah! We were just about done here." Jaimee replied. He turned back to me, "Let's go."

"How are you and Erica doing?" Great. "We're doing good now, Brandon. We had a rough start. And trust me, she doesn't deserve me." Damn right. "But I think we're at a good part of our relationship. I think will push through." 

Frick.

I rolled a strike, clenching my fists by my side. "Nice, Elliot!" Luke congratulated.

I left quickly for the restroom. I needed out of there. I'm tired of him. 

Stop. Giving. Him. A. Reaction.

I walked back over and everyone just ignored my reaction.

Good.

Erica's POV 

"What are we doing, Jenna?" I sighed. "We're looking for my guy this time."

I rolled my eyes, laying down with my earbuds in. "'Kay."

Elliot's POV 

"Hey, Erica." Surprised you guys went this long. Erica and I couldn't say away from each other.

Stop. 

"Of course you can, Babe. I'll see you when I get home.- Yep.- Okay, see ya."

"Doesn't she know it's guy's day?" Brandon asked. "She just wanted to borrow my board."

"She never understood guy's day.  When she was with Elliot, we'd always have to tag along with them because she wouldn't leave his side." Jaimee laughed.

He doesn't realize what he just said.

Well, he didn't until Luke looked away, and I glared at him. "Oh, shit." He mumbled.

"Uh, Brandon. Your roll." Brandon looked about ready to bust out laughing.

"Okay."

Erica's POV 

"Can we go now, Jenna?" I asked, setting the end of the board in the sand. "Yeah, no luck today."

I went straight to my room when we got home, taking a shower.

When I came out, in only a towel, Luke was sitting on my bed. "Oh, shit! Lucas!"

"Sorry!" He laughed. "What are you doing?" I asked as he stood. "I wanted to come see you. What? Do you not wanna see me?"

"No- I mean, yes. But while I'm naked? Can't you wait 'till I'm dressed?"

"You didn't mind Elliot seeing you like this." He mumbled, sliding a hand under my towel to my bare back.

"What? I never slept with Eli." I said. "Eli? That's a new one."

"New? How many other nicknames can you get out of Elliot?" I asked. "Not nice ones apparently."

"What? You mean he gets bullied?" I asked. Luke nodded, and I pulled out of his grasp. "And you didn't help?"

"Don't turn this on me! You did try to sleep with him! That's why you broke up to begin with! Yet, you don't even want me to see you."

"Tried. I tried. He never even saw me naked. The most he's seen was when my bikini top was low. Then he looked away fixing it. He's respectful. Plus, by the time we were going to, we had been dating a lot longer than you and I had."

I walked to my door, opening and hiding behind it. "Now, please, leave so I may clothe myself." He left the room, and I closed and locked the door.

How does he make me this mad?

Does he only want me for sex? Is that what he's hinting at?

Ugh.

I sat on the opposite end of the couch from Luke. "Hey, Beautiful. Why you all the way over there?" He asked. As he scooted over, I pulled my knees to my chest, wrapping my arms around them.

He put an arm around my waist, and I pulled my knees further to my chest. "Why are you being like this? You weren't like this with Elliot."

That's it. 

I stood, "I'm tired of your jealousy over a guy I can't even talk to! And no! I wasn't like this with him because he was respectful! How many times I gotta say it before you realize that you aren't?" I asked.

He just stared at me. "You know what? You can talk to me later. You know, when you learn how to be in a relationship." I then turned, running up the stairs.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Jenna asked, stopping me from going into my room. "Go asked my dick of a "boyfriend." He'll tell you." I cried. "Lucas!" Jenna turned to me, hugging me. "I'll fix it."

She went downstairs, and I locked myself in my room, calling Jaimee. "Hello?"

"I don't know what to do anymore, Jaimee!" I sobbed. "What? What happened?"

I went on to explain what happened last night and the incident this morning.

"He keeps bringing Elliot into everything! I'm over him. We're done."

"Are you sure you're over him?" He asked. "Of course! Why wouldn't I be?"

"Because of your reaction whenever Luke mentions him." I went silent. "I think you need to break up with Luke, Erica." 

"Why?" 

"Because you're still in love with Elliot."
