Chapter 12
Sam’s POV
“Aahhh” I screamed into my towel, drowning out my voice, no need for anyone to hear me scream out my frustrations.
What was my malfunction? Everything I did seemed to blow up in my face. I didn’t mean to piss off Kayli. I knew I was acting like a jealous boyfriend earlier when I had stormed off. I couldn’t help it, there she was openly drooling over every guy at this freaking camp. First the Coach and then our bunkmates, she’s suppose to me acting like a guy not some sex crazed teenage girl.
When I had stormed off to cool down, I realized that I had been acting like a jerk and Brent’s words to take care of Kayli echoed in my mind. I was suppose to be helping her deal with everything and here I was acting like an ass. After sulking for a few more minutes, I wandered back into the building, heading straight for the locker room. As I reached the lockers, I could hear a shower running and a soft voice humming a tune. Immediately I perked up, Kayli was in here. I knew that voice like the back of my hand, walking closer, I stopped a few feet away closing my eyes.
I listened as my angel’s sweet voice transported me to another world. Kayli had the most surreal, beautiful voice but never liked to sing in public. I often heard her and her Mom arguing that she should aspire to be a singer, but Kayli always refused. Always dismissing her talent, saying she was not that good and didn’t want to embarrass herself. The only reason I knew she could sing in the first place was because I would often catch her at home singing to herself. A peace washed over me and for the first time since arriving at this camp I felt happy. She had suddenly stopped singing, my eyes flung open at the absence of her voice.
Looking around, it hit me that I must have looked like I such a creeper and knew I had to get out of here before she got out. I spotted her clothes laying on the bench and an idea popped into my head. Snatching up her clothes, I quietly shuffled towards the back of the room. What’s a little prank between two “friends” to get them back on good terms. I listened as she turned off the water and got out of the shower. Peeking around the corner, I saw her slim figure wrapped in a towel, showing of her curves. Shit, maybe this wasn’t such a good idea I thought as my “friend” came to full a salute. Damn she looked so good, my eyes were burning as I stared intently at her body, watching the small drops of water escape her hair and cascade down her body.
Ripping my eyes away, I tried to focus on anything besides all the dirty thoughts racing through my brain. I needed to get a grip and fast, think Sam! A Calculus problem suddenly came to mind and my heart rate started to slow back down to a normal pace. Nothing like a little math to bring down your hormones. I leaned back against the locker, angry at myself for losing control like that. She will never be yours, I chanted in my head. A loud bang broke the silence and I peered around the corner to see Kayli holding her hand to her chest, her face scrunched up in anger. A chuckle involuntarily escaped my lips, I threw my hand over my mouth to stifle my laugh. She looked too cute when she was furious.
“Who’s there?” she asked, looking everywhere but at the spot I was hiding.
She waited for an answer, after no response, she narrowed her eyes before walking furiously down the row. It was like a game of cat and mouse, every time she got close I jumped into the next row out of sight.
“I know you’re in here, just give me back my clothes and you can keep your little manhood intact. If not, I plan on permanently removing it for you” she threatened.
Unable to hold it back, I laughed. Kayli and threats just did not go together. I heard her footsteps drawing closer; I had managed to barely escape around the corner when she screamed “Gotcha!” Making my away around, I snuck up behind her, just as she started to turn around to face me, I yelled, “Boo!”
Pure shock was splattered across her face as her eyes went wide. Just as recognition flew in her eyes, she managed to stumble backwards. I reached out to grab her but was not fast enough as her small frame met the ground. I winced as the loud thump hit the air, that’s got to hurt. As I looked down to offer her a hand, I froze. There in all her glory was Kayli, naked. I must have imagined this moment a million times, her lying naked under me, right before I completely devoured her. My imagination did not do any justice to the real thing.
Her skin looked silky smooth, every part of her body pure perfection. My body was going through sensory overload as my eyes traveled up from her toned legs to her taut stomach. When my eyes reached her navel I could feel the heat rising to my face. Knowing I wouldn’t people able to control myself if I saw anymore, my eyes shot to her face. Her face was flushed and a million emotions flashed through her eyes ranging from shock, confusion, and embarrassment. As her eyes met mine, I tried to hide my desire to jump her right here and now.
“You jerk, quit staring at me like a pervert and hand me my towel” she shouted, scrambling to cover herself.
“What?” I asked, still dazed by her presence.
“Towel, NOW!” she shrilled, whacking me out of my haze.
“Um, right. Sorry here” I said under my breath, quickly handing the towel and looking away even though every fiber of my being didn’t want to.
“Thanks, I’m decent” she said.
Turning around, I was fully prepared to apologize, when my face was met by her hand. Thwack! My mind went blank as shock took over my body. My stinging cheek jolted me back to situation, my hand touched my tender cheek as I scowled at her.
“Why the hell did you just bitch slap me?” I asked, my entire body seething with anger.
“That my friend, was for scaring the crap out of me and for practically eye raping me” she explained, before sauntering off to a stall to get dressed.
Eye rape, that’s what she thinks when I look at her. My anger was soon replaced by pain, am I really that revolting to her? Any other girl would have been throwing themselves at me, but the one whose opinion matters most to me thinks I’m a perverted freak.
“Get over yourself, trust me you aren’t the first or the last girl I’m going to see naked. Besides, I wasn’t staring, I was in shock. You’re like an annoying kid sister to me, trust me when I say I never wanted to see you in your birthday suit” I shouted over the door, angry at her, angry at myself for caring what she thought.
The door flew open and my body stiffened as she walked up to me, looking ready to kill me. When she was a foot away from me, her eyes met mine, staring me down. Preparing myself for her verbal assault, I was surprised when she cast me one more look before turning around and walking out of the locker room. My heart plummeted, her constantly yelling at me I could handle, but to have her walk away like I wasn’t even worth a second of her time, that killed me.
Releasing another scream, I stopped pacing and got in the shower. As I washed my face, all I could see was Kayli’s face after she ran off. I knew my words hurt her and a part of me was kind of happy that I had a small effect on her. She affected me on a daily basis, consuming all my thoughts.
Finishing up in the shower, I got dressed and headed out of the locker room. When I reached the hallway, I realized I couldn’t face seeing her just yet so I turned, heading in the opposite direction. I slipped out of the building and headed out towards the soccer field. This was my home, the one place where I felt I could do anything. This is where I belonged. Soccer just wasn’t a sport, it was my life and that’s what mattered. So why was my mind focused on the fiery brunette, that could care two shits about me.
Meanwhile…..
Caleb’s PoV
“Ugh” I groaned, as I held my throbbing head between my hands.
Last night, was spent like every other night for the past few weeks, which consisted of me staying in and getting hammered. I hobbled over to the bathroom, flipping on the light. My eyes winced as the bright light flooded the room. Closing my eyes, I held out my hand in front of me as I searched for the sink. When my hand felt the faucet, I switched it on and began splashing the cool water against my face. Slowly opening my eyes, I was met by an unfamiliar figure staring back at me from the mirror.
The once bright blue eyes, were dark and haunting. The tan skin was now pale and had a slight grayish tint to it. The dark, blonde hair was unruly and looked like it hadn’t been combed in months. Not wanting to look at myself any longer, I wandered back to my room and fell on top of my bed. Closing my eyes, I silently wished for sleep to take me away because this reality was too much to bear. Just as I felt my conscious slipping, there was a knock on my door. Throwing the blanket over my face, I silently cursed as I heard another knock.
“What?” I croaked out.
“Sweetie, its Mom. I wanted to see if you had any plans to go out today?” my Mom’s concerned voice asked behind my door.
“No” I said my voice flat and devoid of emotion.
“Honey you’ve been in your room for weeks, don’t you think you should get up and out of the house. It’s summer” my Mom tried to reason.
“No Mom” I said, a finality in my words.
“Come on baby, your friends miss you. I know…you should go visit Brent. His parents are at some health food expo, so he’s all alone at the house.”
Alone, where was Kayli? I got off the bed and opened the door, my Mom shot back in surprise. Her face was full of worry as she took in my appearance. Snapping my fingers in front of her face to get her attention I asked why he was alone.
“Well it seems Kayli went to soccer camp for the next 8 weeks, so Brent is home alone at the moment.”
Camp? Soccer camp! Why didn’t I know about this? I had no idea she wanted to play again. Of course you don’t, you forfeited the right to know anything the second you slept with her best friend. My gut lurched as I remembered Kayli wasn’t mine anymore and to be honest I knew I didn’t deserve her. But that didn’t stop me from wanting her or needing her.
“Cabe, are you even listening to me?” my Mom asked, looking at me like I had completely lost my mind and to be honest I kind of did, I was lost without my baby.
“Yeah Mom, you’re right. Brent needs me, I mean what kind of friend would I be if I wasn’t there for him when he’s down in the slumps.” I said, a newfound determination in my voice.
I needed to go to the Reed’s residence and I find out where Kayli’s camp was. I loved her and no matter how much she said she said it was over, I knew deep down she still loved me too. I just had to get her to get her to forgive me and we could be together again, like it was meant to be.
“That’s great honey, but word of advice…take a shower before you go anywhere” she said, giving me a playful nudge towards the bathroom.
“Haha, thanks Mom for the words of wisdom, you were always the smart one in the family” I said with a small smile on my face, the first in weeks.
Later…
As I got in my car, I reached into my glove compartment to grab my sunglasses but my fingers pulled out a picture instead. My lips tugged at the sides as I looked at the picture, it was of me and Kayli. I remember the day like it was yesterday, it was a month into our relationship. We had just got out of the movie theater and it was pouring outside. I was going to go get the car, while Kayli waited under the covering. Just as I was about to sprint off, she pulled me back. Pulling me close, she whispered “race ya” before sprinting off.
I chased after her and I was just about to catch her too when my foot slipped out under me and I flew back. There I was, flat on my back, in the parking lot as the rain pounded on me. Within seconds Kayli was standing over, trying her best not to laugh but failing miserably.
“Go ahead, laugh” I muttered, completely embarrassed.
She burst into a fit of laughter, her tears mixing with the rain. After a while, her laughter died down to a quiet chuckle. Extending her hand, she helped pull me up back onto my feet. “You know I knew you would fall for me, but I didn’t know it would be so literal,” she said with a small grin. And in that moment I knew I had, Kayli Reed had someone come along and stolen my heart without my knowing. Stepping closer to me, I could feel the heat radiating off her body, she whispered seductively into my ear, “You know, I’ve always wanted to make out in the rain.”
“Well Ms. Reed, I aim to please” I said before capturing her mouth with mine. Her lips molded perfectly against mine and my heart about ripped out of my chest as she slipped her tongue into my mouth. Pulling out my phone, I took a quick picture of our kiss. Needing oxygen, she pulled back, both of us breathless. “Did you just take a picture of us?” she asked, her blue eyes still slightly clouded over from our kiss. “Yeah, I just wanted something to remember this moment” I smiled, pulling her into my arms as she shivered slightly from the cold rain. I did want to remember that moment because it was the first time I realized I was head over heels in love with her.
Staring at the picture now, I ached to feel the happiness I felt that day, the happiness I felt every day I spent with her. I had to get her back and I will stop at nothing until I do.
A/N So what do you guys think, still hating on Caleb, still team Sam? I started writing the next chapter, I have an idea in mind that I want to get out so the next chapter may not include the poll winner but the one after will for sure. So make sure you go back and pick your choice, remember it’s between streaking, a kiss, and a bet. Keep in mind I will have all of that in the story at some point but I wanted you all to pick which one you see first. Thanks for reading and vote/comment if you like it. I’m really curious about what you guys think so far. This story is for you guys so I hope everyone has been enjoying it, if not let me know how I can improve it for you. I got tough skin so don’t worry about those silly things called “feelings” : ) PS Young the Giant killed it at MTV VMA, hence the video. No proofreading..too tired.
