Auston Matthews Imagine

Auston Matthews - Part Fifteen

I can't help but peek over my shoulder at Auston as he closes the door behind him. The moonlight glances off his skin, he isn't wearing a shirt which I think is just a little bit crazy, but I'm also not complaining. I again think that pictures just do not do him enough justice. Auston turns and starts towards the hot tub and before he can see me looking, I quickly turn my attention to my hands under the water. Alex and Breyana giggle beside me and I shoot them both filthy looks.

Auston jogs to the hot tub, I'm sure regretting his decision to not wear a shirt or rob out. He quickly jumps in, splashing all three of us in the process and getting a splash back from Breyana. I pointedly ignore all of them and focus my attention skyward, only now I can't focus on a single thing. Stupid fucking boy.

"Was this your idea, Auston?" I hear Alex ask him.

"Kinda, I just prodded mom and dad in the right direction. Mitch told me about this place, his family used to come here," Auston answers and I have never had to fight myself so hard to not look at person.

"You wanted to come someplace cold?" Breyana asks, without looking at her I know there's skeptical look on her face. "I hardly believe that, something must have gotten your attention up here."

Auston is silent for a moment, all I can hear is the jets of the tub.

"A new point of view," he finally says. My eyes snap to his, my mind instantly going to last night. I open my mouth to say something but I can't think of a single thing to say, so I just smile and look down at my hands again. I can feel Breyana and Alex staring at me, but I ignore them as usual.

"Is that a bruise on your shoulder?" Alex asks and I hear Auston hiss in pain and look up in time to see Auston swatting at Alex's finger as she pulls it back.

We sit in the hot tub for another half hour before Breyana decides to go to bed, I consider following her but I refuse to get out of the tub in my bathing suit in front of Auston. Breyana climbs out of the tub and exchanged a look with Alex before saying goodnight to Auston and I.

I get a bad feeling in my stomach as I look at Alex, her eyes darting between me and Auston as she keeps up her conversation with Auston. Sure enough, less than ten minutes later Alex yawns and my stomach plummets. She wouldn't dare.

Alex meets my gaze and I shake my head at her, my eyes pleading. She just looks back at me, a stupid grin tugging at her mouth.

"Don't," I mouth at her, still too stubborn to follow her out of the water.

"I think I'm going to head to bed now too," Alex says, exaggerating another yawn and stretch before clambering out of the tub. I make a small noise and refuse to look at Auston, silently urging him to go inside as well.

"Night Auston, Y/N," Alex says, a funny tone to her voice. She gives me one more look before turning and walking towards the house.

I suck in a deep breath and press my lips together, suddenly incredibly shy. I pull my legs up against my chest and in desperation to look anywhere but at Auston, I look skyward again, only seeing blurry spots above me.

"Not gonna talk to me?" Auston breaks the silence and I cringe.

"I'm not ignoring you," I murmur, my eyes still up.

"I didn't say you were ignoring me, it's just you haven't said two words to me since we got here," Auston counters and moves his hands through the water in front of him. I can feel the rush of water and am reminded how close I am sitting to him, half naked and incredibly awkward.
