Ashleigh's P.O.V
I made my way to my room, walking down the hall way seemed to be taking forever and this place looked a bit different from the last time I was here, I placed my bags down next to the door and knocked a couple of times until someone finally answered "who is it?" , I slightly moaned and answered "its Ashleigh" in disbelief, Jacob opened the door with a huge smile on his face like a baby seeing his favourite candy,
"ash!! You're finally here" he said out of excitement and leaned in for a hug, I hugged him back, then let go expecting him to do the same but he did not, then I faked my cough " let me go Jacob, you're gonna kill me"
" aww come on, I really missed you"
" I did miss you as well but I'm not ready to die either" I said as I took my bags and we made our way inside, " so... what have I been missing while I was away?" I asked, Jacob placed his hands in his hoodie pockets then looked around, I have noticed that he does this when he's nervous, " uhhm, not really, it's just been. me...you know" he finally replied, I chuckled a bit to the sound of that, feeling a bit sorry for him
"Do you want to go swimming with me? I would be a great way to celebrate you being back" Jacob asked, I looked at him like he was some sort of a mentally unstable person because what he said did not make sense and a bit confusing
"what? Where? How?"
"uhm a few blocks away from here, and we will just sneak out they don't have to know"
" Jacob, what?"
"I know I sound crazy but please?" I haven't even been here for a minute and this boy's already asking for trouble,
"Swimming? Out of all these things we can do? And not get in trouble?" he gave me this look and I couldn't say no "okay whatever, let's go"
" how do you know about this place anyway?" I asked Jacob as we approached the building, it looked rather strange, and old
"I came here with Kevin while you were gone"
"oh so you've mad some friends huh?"
"yeah.. kind of"
He looked at me with that smile he always gives me, his purely white teeth and juicy pink lips with a little mustache were to die for, and I think he knew that because he smiled a lot. Jacob struggled to open the gate and I was just helplessly standing there hoping for a miracle, before somebody saw us, he did only god knows what to that gate but it wasn't working until he kicked it and that finally worked "thought you've been here before" I said while giving him the side eye and he did the same in return. We made our way inside and the more we went deeper the scarier it got, how on earth did they find this place?
"look, the guy from the other time, he's just so weird looking" a male voice said, right after that a group of people busted into laugher, that wasn't any close to funny, it was actually a bit childish, I looked at Jacob and quickly he became hostile, he took my hand and said " just ignore them" while we quickly got near a bench that was the closest to the pool, " what was all that about?" , I finally broke the ice ," just ignore them please", he replied " now can we do what we came here to do?" , I looked to his side and noticed the guys leaving, he also looked and sighed in relief.
Jacob took his shirt off getting ready to jump into the water, luckily it looked clean, I was surprised by that because I was expecting it to be as filthy as the building,
" ayt are you gonna take or clothes off or you jumping in with them?" Jacob asked me, half naked, ready to jump in the water,
" I can't swim" I answered, trying to be as serious as I could be,
" you know you're gonna get in this water right?" he said as he came in my direction, next thing a half naked Jacob was chasing me around trying to get me into the water, when he finally got to me, he grabbed me with both his hands and I fell, he purposely fell on top of me. I got lost somewhere in his eyes for a moment and that was one of the most amazing feelings I have ever felt, in years.
" get off me Jacob ! " I finally came back to reality, he got up as he laughed at me
" gotcha!!" he said as he grabbed my hand, like he knew I was gonna try and run away again " the easy or hard way, your choice" he said, with his hand still holding mine, " you're bullying me Jacob, this is not fair" I tried to defend myself " oh you're still talking?" he reached into my pocket and took my phone then carelessly threw it in the grass and he threw me into the water and I screamed like a little girl, " I hate you rig- " I got disturbed my the splash caused by Jacob jumping into the water.
Jacob's P.O.V
Ashleigh had to take her clothes off because they were wet, "here, wear my shirt" I threw it into her face and laughed because she just looked traumatized, she took the shirt and slowly put it on, "thanks, idiot" she managed to reply, I took her clothes and tried putting them in a way that they could be exposed to the sun, hoping that maybe it would calm her down. I took a seat next to Ashleigh and she looked far from interested in what in was to say,
" I'm sorry?"
" for what?"
" throwing you into the water?"
"and?"
" aww come on, you need to loosen up a bit"
"you need to grow up"
" ouch that really hurt" I said as I placed my hand into my chest, and she chuckled a bit " you're so stupid" she said as she playfully pushed me.
I forced Ashleigh into getting in the water again, and it worked, " I think I'm ready to leave now" Ashleigh said,
" yeah it's getting a bit late" I said as I got up to check on her clothes, luckily they were dry, " here you go" I handed Ashleigh her clothes, she tried taking the shirt I gave her off, " no you can keep that" I insisted, as I put on my jacket,
" oh, really? Thanks! It smells really nice by the way" she complimented me, sort of.
We got dressed and we as we approached the building, Ashleigh laughed, remembering what happened when we got here, " you got bad ass right here" I said as I fixed my invisible tie, and that made her laugh even more.
We were back in Ashleigh's room and she was so exhausted, she threw herself into her bed and curled herself up with a pillow, I sat down next to her and looked at her, hoping to grab her attention
She looked up and caught me staring at her, then blushed,
" what?" she finally asked,
" what?"
" why are you looking at me?"
" you look tired, did you enjoy yourself today?"
"I did, a lot. Thank you"
I smiled at her and she did the same, and then covered herself with the pillow trying not to blush, I made myself comfortable in her bed, lying down starring at the ceiling, with my hands under my head and within minutes we were both asleep.
