Chapter Three

I feel like an idiot! Why on Earth did I ask him?!

Of course he'll refuse. What did I expect? For real, who do I think I am?

This is so frustrating. The first time I ever talk to him and I made a total fool of myself. What was I thinking going over there and talking to him in the first place, huh? I've taken way too much heat in the brain.

This is one of those times where I wish that I have even a tiny bit of Olivia's or Aubrey's confidence. They can talk to people they like without hesitation and with a hundred percent success rate almost all the time.

I let out a bubble of sigh and decided to just float and feel the sun on my face. Soak that brain in the water, Hailey. Might help getting rid of the stupidity. I stayed like that for a while, just letting myself drift while I keep replaying the scene in my head. Really embarrassing.

No point fussing over it. I decided to get on the raft and work on my tan to pass the time. I still have about an hour till I pick Aubrey up.

I rest my head on the raft and relaxed. I closed my eyes and thought of what happened again even though I decided not even five minutes ago that I'd stop when someone blocked the sun from my face. I peek an eye open and saw Shane standing on the edge of the pool.

"Does your offer still stand?" Oh my God! "Hi" he greeted.

I have no idea what to say. This shocked me. I just stared at him with my mouth hanging open a bit like I was the most idiot person in the world. Jeez!

"Hey, of course!" I manage to say. "Hop right in"

"Are your parents home?" he asked.

I shook my head in response. "Are you expecting them soon?" He says as he peeled of his shirt revealing that sexy that toned abs.

He's only eighteen and he's gorgeous! He's way mature than most guys in school, I suppose all those jobs and the constant work out and hockey are responsible for that. I shook my head again to answer his question not bothering to talk because I know my voice is going to fail me.

I haven't recovered yet from the sight of his upper body when he peeled his khaki's leaving him only in his boxers.

Okay. Did I say oh my God a while ago? Because this time it's even more! He's definitely squeal worthy that I find myself biting the inside of lower to prevent it from hanging open and drooling all over.

I studied his body before he dived in the water and saw no imperfections. When he came up he said, "This feels good." He splashed water at me and I splashed him back as good as I can while on the raft.

I was laughing and he was, too. I know he just got here but I know I don't want this to end. He splashed me again and we did so for some time until he decided to make circles around me like a shark then pushed me off the raft. I let out a small shriek as I get in the water.

I came out of the water laughing when suddenly his thighs bumped into mine and ... I freaked. Electricity was running through my thighs. Yes, God, Shane and I have sparks.

He looked at me intently. Now, I'm the one being studied. I feel self-conscious, my lipstick is most likely still intact. Thank you, matte and long lasting finish. But the bathing suit I'm wearing is old and conservative, which is for the best I believe. I don't own the bod the display anyways. But I was wondering if the touch thing is wrong.

"Hailey." He says, the sound of my name on his tongue is perfect. No one in this Earth is put here to say it but him.

"Yeah?" I asked, hiding half of my face into the water.

"Did you ... Um," He stuttered, "Did you ever ... Nevermind."

"No, what?" I hate cliffhangers more than anything, if you don't intend to tell me then you shouldn't have started saying anything in the first place. Curiosity is a nasty thing to have.

"Nothing. It's stupid."

"No. Come on, just tell me." I'm half pleading now.

He gave in, I saw it on his face.

"Did you ever think about you and me?"

Whoa! I was not expecting that. Is he really asking me this? I didn't see this coming. Dang! I opened my mouth to say something but closed it again. Do I admit it or do I lie? I decided to play it cool.

"Shane!" I said, laughing it off. Thinking it was a joke. But his face was serious as he said, "What? Did you?"

"I don't know. Why did you ask? Did you?" I asked, curiosity winning me over. His answer will really have a big impact on me, I just hope it's a positive answer.

"Of course I did, once or twice. I wouldn't dare ask if I didn't, you know." The doors of heaven opened for me then, I'm elated beyond explanation.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Maybe." I said, still playing it cool. I mean he did think of us before, but I'm not sure if he did so before or after he started dating Olivia. She may not be around, but she's still in the picture.

Somewhat, somewhere in me though I feel free. I mean, I had a thing for him since I was ten and now he's here telling me that some time ago he thought about US. I mean, US. Really US. I didn't expect that. For a long time it has just been me who had that thoughts. Way to go, Hailes!

"Hailey." Shane said my name again this time closer, I feel like my insides are turning. I feel dizzy because what are the odds that those perfect red lips would bump into mine. Right on cue, they were on top of mine.

He was kissing me.

Oh my God! Shane is really kissing me.

It was aggressive and demanding for response and it's liked an energy sucker, because I feel loss of energy all I could think of is his kiss and how they were soft and moving nipping on mine.

There's a sparkling sensation and butterflies in my stomach that encouraged me to kiss him back. I did.

I kissed him with the same intensity and passion. If I thought we have sparks, I now believe we have fireworks. It's still hasn't ended and we're only at the beginning but I know I'm going to savor this delicious feeling for a lifetime. Yum!
