Jealous (Anthony Padilla)

Anthony

The night was getting closer. Jade and I decided to skip the Karaoke Club and head back to my place. When we got there Ian's car was already parked beneath the garage. I guided her into the garage door and we walked straight to my room without saying a word to Ian as we passed the opened door to his room.

I shut the door behind me and placed my phone and keys on my side table before hopping onto my bed. She moved closer and sat beside me, "Did you enjoy today?" I asked her and she nodded once, "I'm really glad that you and Ian are getting along." I said with a big smile and she stayed quiet, "That really means a lot to me."

She nodded once and I pulled her towards me, leaning back into my pillow and guiding her over me. She straddled my lap and I gripped my hands on her bare skin below her tight crop top as she moved her lips against mine. The kiss intensified and I let out a light moan as she pressed herself against me, closing the gap between us. I could feel my heart leaping in my chest with every move.

She played with the hem of my shirt and I pulled her belt loops towards me. As she pulled my shirt over my head I heard the door swing open and Ian say my name. Jade immediately glared at him and my head slammed on to my pillow, "What the hell, man?" I said to him, "Haven't you heard of knocking?"

"I texted you!" He exclaimed impatiently.

"Can't you see that I'm busy!" I said forcefully and Jade climbed off of me.

"I didn't think she was here," he lied, obviously having seen us both when we walked in.

I rolled my eyes and he shrugged his shoulders, "Can you just get out?" I shouted at him.

"Fine!" He said loudly, "Cook your own dinner, bitch."

I sighed loudly and climbed out of bed as he left the room with the door wide open, "Such an ass!" I said under my breath as I shut the door and moved back towards my bed.

"You better not make me be on his team for Summer Games," Jade said to me without meeting my eyes as I climbed back onto my bed.

"Don't worry, babe, you'll be my first pick," I kissed her gently and pulled her next to me in the bed, "Sorry about that interruption. Where were we?" I turned to face her and pulled the blanket over us, moving my lips against hers as my hands cautiously roamed her body.

She stayed over that night and many of the following nights. We'd kiss, we'd lose some clothing, but we never had sex. We talked a lot and I grew closer to her, finally being able to connect with her. She was stubborn and loud, but that's what made her so interesting.

I could still feel the tension in the air when she and Ian were near one another, but it didn't bother me because we were in control of our relationship. Jade had become super close with Noah, seeing him almost every day for lunch. She was also beginning to feel comfortable around the rest of the crew, making me excited for the future.

Two weeks passed and we were both packed for the week long trip to the mountains, "Are you excited?" I asked my beautiful girlfriend as we walked down the street with out suit cases, "You didn't forget you swim suit right?" She playfully glared at me, "I've been looking forward to seeing you in that."

"Please stop," Ian begged, pretending to gag as he passed us and began to walk faster.

"Ian!" Sunny blew a whistle and Ian rolled his eyes, glaring back at Jade before turning back to walk towards Sunny, "Anthony!" He shouted.

I glanced at Jade, "Get us a good seat," she flashed me a quick smile and continued to walk forward.

I watched her for a moment before turning to see Sunny and Ian, "Remember children," he said to us, "There is a large lake with trees at this camp. If you argue, you will be hung from a tree over the lake by your toes. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, sir," we both mumbled.

"I said 'DO YOU HEAR ME'?" he shouted, making us both jump.

"Yes, SIR!" We both shouted and he blew his whistle. Ian immediately quickened his pace and rejoined the large group.

Sunny stared at me for a quick moment then lowered his sun glasses, "Girl and boys are in separate rooms for a reason," he told me, "Remember that."
