Loving A Rivers (Third book in Rivers series)

Chapter 37

Chapter 37

Eric's POV:

"There is the starting quarterback." Someone said as I stood outside. We had an evening game at our rival school this evening so I was wearing our football pants and under armour while tossing a football through an old tire swing on our tree. Yes because Logan was gone I was now the starting quarterback of our team.

Chase was in grade twelve and had only gotten taller. He was now a solid six foot six while I was only six, three. Why was he so tall? I had no idea- he was a giant.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Think I'd miss you up close in football pants?" He teased and I rolled my eyes.

"So when I'm a big shot one day all you are going to use me for is my ass in these pants?" I asked. He came over and landed a firm smack on my behind and I sighed as he smiled approvingly.

"Oh you will do the same thing when I'm a swimmer. Just drool over my body. I'm just a trophy to you aren't I?" He asked and I looked back at him while rolling out my shoulder.

"No I see you as a human being, my equal partner."

"Oh fuck off." I said.

"You wound me." He said placing a hand on his heart. I raised an eyebrow at him as I tossed the football near my bag. I placed my hands on my hips and he did the same.

"Trying to show me up, Rivers."

"Maybe I am Maverick." I said.

"I'm taller than you so I automatically win."

"By like what? Two inches?" I asked

"Hey I still win." He shrugged.

"Win what?" I asked.

"Everything, no matter what fight we get into I will always win because I am taller. That is just how it goes." He shrugged.

"So even if I am one hundred percent right and you are dead wrong you still win?"

"Of course." He said patting my cheek. He grabbed my stuff and tossed it into the back of his car and I got in to the passenger side.

"Hey." He said as he got in.

"What?" I asked grabbing the aux cord.

"I didn't get a kiss when I first came." He said sadly.

"Well you decided to be arrogant." I pointed out.

"Now you're just being cruel. I didn't do anything, I was just stating facts."

I leaned over and planted a quick kiss on his cheek.

"There."

"Don't cheep out on me ya lil shit." He said. I sighed rolling my eyes and pressing my lips to his briefly, I went to turn away and he grabbed my chin roughly keeping my face frozen. His tongue prodded at my lips and I sighed again opening my mouth. This kid had to go one step above. His other hand gripped the back of my hair roughly as he bit on my lip roughly.

"You always bruise my lip when you do that." I said pulling away and looking at the inside of my lip in the mirror.

"It makes your lips swollen and more kissable." He shrugged.

"You just can't keep things simple." I chuckled.

"What? I just like to kiss my handsome boyfriend, is that so bad?" He asked.

"I am handsome thanks." I smiled.

"Sorry my dick of a boyfriend."
