The Badboy And His Clique

xxii.

*Brody's POV*

I look at Aspen and smile.

"Babe you didn't even take off your clothes.", I say and she looks at her shirt.

"Shit.", she says and climbs out of the pool.

I watch her as she pulls her wet shirt over her head.

Damn. Is all I can think. God what is she doing to me?

"Brody? You good?", Ryker says waving his hand in front of my face.

"Uhh yeah. I'm good.", I say and pull my shirt over my head.

I jump into the pool and Aspen screams.

"You coming in?", I ask her and she smiles.

"Yeah in a minute."she says and walks inside the house with Sage right behind her.

"What do you think they're doing?", I say to Ryker.

"I don't know.", he says and gets in the pool.

*Aspen's POV*

"So you and Ryker?", I say and look at Sage.

"Yeah. I really like him.", she says and I smile.

"Is he a good kisser?", I say and she laughs.

"Oh hell yeah.", she says and we both start laughing.

"What about you?", she says and I smile.

"God where do I start? He's amazing.", I say and look at Brody from the window.

"Yeah. You really like him?", she says and I nod.

"He makes me happy. And for the first time in a long time, I can trust him.", I say and she rubs my arm.

I watch him as Ryker splashes water at him and he smiles.

*Ryker's POV*

"So you Aspen?", I say and Brody chuckles.

"Yeah. She's great. She makes me happy. In a way that I didn't think I could feel anymore.", he says and I smile.

"I'm happy for you man. You deserve that. Has she asked you about your scars?", I say and he looks at me.

"No. Not yet. What about you and Sage?", he says and looks at the water.

"She's amazing. I really like her. I'm happy when I'm with her.", I say and Brody pats my arm.

I look back at Sage and she starts walking towards the pool.

"Hey baby.", I say and she smiles.

"Hey.", she says and then shoves me in the pool.

I break through the surface and flip my wet hair to the side.

"You're gonna wish you hadn't done that.", I say and she smiles.

"Brody. You're not gonna help me?", I say and he laughs.

I watch as Aspen sneaks up behind him and wraps her arms around him.

"We're you gonna try and throw me in?", he says and looks back at her.

*Aspen's POV*

"No I wasn't.", I say and he smiles.

He turns his head to kiss me but just before or lips touch I push him in the pool.

"Damn. That's gotta hurt bro.", Ryker says and me and Sage laugh.

"Nah it's alright. I'll get her back.", Brody says and I smile.

"Do what you want. I don't care.", I say and he smiles.

I turn to look at Sage, but just as I start to talk Brody grabs my arm and pulls me in the pool.

"You bitch!", I yell and swim to get to the shallow end before I have a panic attack. When my feet touch the floor I feel much better.

"Awe babe. I'm sorry.", Brody says and he swims over to me.

"Don't talk to me.", I say and start to get out of the pool.

*Sage's POV*

"Yeah, she's not gonna wanna talk to you.", I say and Brody gives me a look.

"Damn. What's the big deal?", Ryker says and pulls himself out of the pool.

"She has a fear of water.", I say and he nods.

"Baby. I'm sorry.", Brody says but Aspen ignores him and walks inside to get a towel.

"Brody just give her space.", I say and he sits in the side of the pool.

"It'll be fine man.", Ryker says and I scoff.

"She's pissed. I did the exact same thing to her and she didn't talk to me for like two days.", I say and Brody sighs in frustration.
