Beach House Roomates

8. Totally Meant Nothing

"Nathan" I moan as he kisses my neck and bites it. "Don-don't stop" I moan as he pins my arms up on the wall and he pulls my shirt off.
He groans while kissing my collar bone and I moan along with him as he presses himself on me. "Your mine" He says smirking before crashing his lips onto mine and I respond to him very quickly.
"Yes I am"-

"Hope wake up." I groan as the figure has woke me up out of my-Shit! Was I really dreaming about?

Gosh what the hell. I open my eyes looking up at Nathan grinning like a idiot. I remember falling asleep on the couch after eating a breakfast buffet that he made. "Why are you grinning like a dumbass?" I ask staring at him flatly, stilling looking up on him not moving out of my position.

His grin drops into a scowl as I shrug. "Anywayyyysss" He says he face going flat. "It's sunny. I wanted to see if you wanted to go swimming with me. Pleaseeeeee?" He begs like a little kid. Wow.

"You woke me up out of a good nap-No wait horrible dream, but still. You woke me up to go swimming." He looks down at me before thinking for like two seconds before nodding and grinning stupidly again.

"Sure" I say quickly. I hope this takes my mind off of the dream.
****
I am wearing my royal blue swimdress. As I walk out to the back of the beachhouse where the pool and hot tub are I see Nathan standing by the stairs of the pool that stops at six feet and starts at three feet. "Um did I mention I'm not a good swimmer!" I yell at him standing by the big glass see through door. "He turns around and holy cobow. I seen his body before but this affects me some how. OK, let's just ignore that Hope.

He rubs his hands on his shorts than look up at me. "It's okay Hope! I will teach you!" He yells back waving his hand for me to come over.

I run over to him until I am right on the side of him. "So what exactly are you not good at and what are you good at?" He asks just to be se sure.

"Um...I know how to go underwater and open my eyes, if that counts in anything." I say hoping he doesn't drown me.

He roles his eyes and steps to the water walking over to the 4 feet part. "Gosh I'm 5'6" and I'm still scared to walk over Nathan." I say to him stepping into the 3 feet part of the water. "It's okay Hope, just follow me." He says walking over to me and stepping backwards. I am still frozen, scared to move. "Hey" I look up at him as he says that one comforting word. "Just look at me, follow me, look, and follow, straight into my eyes, no one is going to hurt you Hope, just look and follow" He says grabbing my hands. I stare into his eyes not thinking about anything else. Nearly forgetting we were in the water. Woah! How did he do that to me? "Now, I am about to go underwater, when I grab you, just calm down and hold your breath, don't try to come up-"

"WHAT!"

"Trust me Hop-"

"I have to come up you fool!" I yell at him and snatch my hands away turning the other way.

I just knew he was trying to kill me. He doesn't want to teach me how to swim he wants to freaking drown me! As I am walking back I here him call my name. But I am too busy going off at myself about him to listen. I haven't even gone far due to the fact that this is water but whatever.

"Hope stop, I'm not going to kill you"

Complains to self noted.

Witht that he reaches out for my arm and grab me pulling me towards him. He crashes his lips on mine and at that moment it takes me a few seconds to realize what had happened before I respond to the kiss. It's not like the books say or the movies. It's not as if our life depends on it. It's not as if we were always connected. It was just two people needing that kiss and wanting it. It was just two people who needed one thing to brighten their day. And with that kiss he brings his hands to my waist pulling us both under water with our lips still attached. As we are underwater kissing. I do not feel scared. I actaully feel safe, I feel safe that I am in his arms. I feel safe that my arms are rested on his chess. I feel safe that it is him kissing me. Kissing me underwater.

He lets go of my waist and we spread, underwater I open my eyes to see him swimming backwards still under going to the farrther end. With that I realize I am floating up as I come back down, floating up again, and back down I go. With that I start moving my arms in the doggy pedal position. Along with my legs going over to him. And with that I realize I am actually swimming.

Just that kiss inspired me to swim. Oh well. It was just a kiss.

Yeah. Just a kiss.

two weeks later

It's been two weeks.

Cassie left and we talk everyday.

I have been hanging out with Mikey.

Oh andnews flash...the dog was NEVER dead. They tricked her. They gave her panick attacks for nothing. It also turns out that she lied to her parents andsnuck on this vacation with me and finally told them once we got ON the plane.

They did all that just for the starters of her punishment. As much as her parents love me, they don't tolerate sneaking away for the summer.

Yup...she is in huge trouble.

Oh and anither news flash. I was just caught in the moment at the pool. I did not like the kiss. I do not want it to happen.

That's not true. Your just disappointed because afterhe taught you how to swim you guys hung out for a day and after that argued and act lkke nothing ever happened.

No it was him who acted like that.

It was both of you. Do to that fact, you guys have been ignoring each other for a while.

I hate you Ronny.

I hate being the coscience of you.

How rude!

"Hope!"

I snap out of my argument looking up at Mikey.

"Huh?"

"Did you here what I said?"

I shake my head no and he sighs.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Oh nothing just things"

He puts his hand on mineand looks at me caringly.

Oh yeah i forgot. Mikey and I have gotten really close.
Like close.

"Look, i know you guys fought over some dumb crap, but Im here, if wants to be an ass he can. But Im here for you. So please, stop stressing over it, he taught you how to swim and acted like the kiss was nothing. Its okay Hope."

He strokes my hand as I let a tear fall down my cheek.

What he doesn't know is...its not okay.

Because the kiss felt too real to be true. We were only a few days use to each other two weeks ago. And now we both act like nothing ever happened.

I cant take it, and I cant let Mikey know that either.

Maybe just maybe, I liked the kiss.
