"I hate you." Jenn said playfully punching me. We were already soaking wet from getting in the pool with our clothes on. I picked her up bride style and jumped into the pool with her.
"No! Jc! Jc!" We plunged underwater my arms still tangled in hers. When my head came back to the surface she was splashing me. I splashed her back until finally she gave up and got out of the pool. We just ended the video and I knew this was my chance. Jenn sat on the side of the pool dangling her legs in. I waddled over to her, butterflies in my stomach and placed my hands on her knees.
"Jenn, I really like you." I looked up and gained eye contact with her. I pulled her closer to me and placed my lips on hers. She was hesitant but started to kiss me back. I was so happy I couldn't help but smile. Jenn was now standing in the pool with me, her soft wrists resting against my neck. Just as it started getting interesting Jenn pulled away from me.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing." she said, I leaned back in to kiss her again, "we just can't do this right now."
"But- why not?" I was confused.
"Well for one the camera's still on, and two there's a houseful of all our friends and I'm not really sure if this is gonna be a thing or not." Jenn moved her hands from my neck to her sides, and slid out of the pool. She removed my shirt that was over her's and left it sitting on the chair right by the doors that led inside. The glass doors squeaked open and she dripped water all the way into the kitchen where everyone else was. I sighed and went to turn the camera off, and bring my equipment inside. I peeked in the window of the kitchen and Jenn was standing around the table with Jack, Ricky, Kian, and Andrea. She caught me staring at her and I couldn't keep from smiling when I looked away. My equipment and camera were all packed up and I made my way inside.
"Hey guys." I said as I entered the kitchen.
"Hey Jc." Kian answered.
"Where is everyone?"
"Oh they went upstairs." Andrea answered. She was resting on Kian's shoulder with his arm around her like they were 2 puzzle pieces that fit together perfectly. I wanted that. Only I wanted it with Jenn, and only Jenn.
"Well I should probably go up too, I gotta take a shower."
"Yeahh, ok." Kian sighed.
"Y'all have fun now. But not too much fun." I said winking at them, all I got were mumbled replies. I grabbed a bag of chips and carried my stuff upstairs. The second I got in my room I took off my soaking wet shirt. I tossed my camera bag into my closet and placed the camera in my desk drawer. I quickly got in the shower and got out. I walked out of my bathroom and put my sweatpants on right before Jenn walked in.
"Damnit" she said. "Sorry I thought you were still in the shower because your fan was on."
"It's cool, what'd you need?"
"I just had to grab my memory card, so ill just get that now." She walked over to my desk and opened my desk drawer. She already knew where I kept my stuff and we weren't even dating yet! She bent down and pulled out my camera. I walked up behind her as she stood up. I wrapped my hands around her waist and moved in closer to her.
"Jenn." I said placing my chin on her shoulder, "I really like you."
"Oh do you now?" she said turning to face me.
"Like a lot." I said locking eyes.
"Ugh. I hate you." she said. I pressed my lips against hers and pulled her into my body. Her hands were resting on my bare shoulders and now in my hair. I grabbed her little waist and placed her on my desk. Her legs pulled me in even closer. I felt her toes curl when I moved my lips down to her neck.
"And you say you're not sure if this is a thing or not." I smiled to myself. Jenn's grip loosened around me.
"I-I-I have to go Jc." she pushed me off of her body and stood up to leave.
"Jenn babe wait." I said tugging at her t-shirt.
"No." she said sternly.
"Jenn. Wait! You didn't get your memory card!" I shouted down the hall.
"Ill get it tomorrow." she said just loud enough for me to hear. She slammed the guest bedroom door shut. Damn it Jc, why did you say that? I threw my door shut deciding to leave her alone for now and sat down on my computer. I put my footage into final cut andspent the next hour watching the footage. I was started to get hungry, so I went downstairs to grab another snack. Kian and Andrea were saying goodbye at the door when I got to the kitchen.
"Where's Jenn?" I asked Andrea.
"Welllll I'm pretty sure she fell asleep in the guest bedroom cause it was locked and she didn't answer any of my texts, so I just decided she could stay the night."
"Um. Okay?" I watched as Kian kissed Andrea goodbye.
"Bye" Andrea said waving goodbye to me. Kian came and stood in the kitchen with me after Andrea left.
"Kian?"
"Yeah"
"Do you love Andrea?"
"Uh...yeah I'm pretty sure I do." He answered quickly.
"Hm. Cool, well I'm gonna go finish editing."
"Dude you can't just ask that and then leave."
"Well I'm leaving soo actually I can." I stalled. Kian ran in front of the stairs. I went to our other staircase and didn't say anything.
"We have another staircase Kian" I said when I reached the top.
"Fuck you Jc." Kian replied. I shrugged my shoulders and went back to my room. I heard Kian coming up the stairs and shut my door even though i knew he'd come in anyways.
"Justin Caylen! Don't make me come in there!" I just laughed at him. "Jc do you like someone?"
"Nopee."
"Then why'd you ask about me and Andrea?" he said letting himself in my room.
"No reason, just wondering."
"No one just wonders about love!" Kian insisted. "Plus, I saw you kiss Jenn..."
"What?!? When?!?"
"Earlier today in the pool..." he shrunk away from me, "I couldn't help but see you were right in my view!"
"It's fine, it's fine. I overreacted but were not dating or anything, at least it's not official yet."
"It's cool dude." Kian perked up again.
"You can't tell anyone though, I have to wait to see what happens with Jenn."
"Yeah no problem."
"Not even Andrea."
"I promise Jc."
