Chasing Summer

Chapter 14.

Chapter 14.

“Where exactly do you have planned?” I asked Chase once I had slid in to the car as gracefully as I could manage

“Well remember last time when we went to the little cliff place?” I smiled at the memory and nodded, that view really was beautiful “so I still have places planned since then”

“Which are?” I asked raising my eyebrows still waiting for an answer, I heard him laugh and I tilted my head back towards him

“You really don’t like surprises do you?”

“I liked the last one” he turned to look at me whilst still keeping his hand on the wheel, he raised his eyebrows and I let out a laugh “I did in the end!” I said nudging his shoulder playfully

“Driving!” he replied with a smile nudging me back “besides you only liked that one because you got to kiss this hot piece of ass” I laughed loudly at his arrogance which still managed to shock me

“Oh really?”

“Yup”

“jerk”

“drama queen”

“player” I said turning away from him again, I put the window down allowing the warm summer breeze to blow through my hair, he laughed again and then I heard him sigh

“you look really pretty today” he said simply eyes focused on the road

“you know when I said you were a player it wasn’t a challenge” I replied looking down at my unimpressive choice of clothing and windswept hair

“I’m serious” he said looking over at me with a smile, I felt myself blush and quickly looked back out of the window watching the flash of trees fly by intently

“what don’t I get the usual ‘are we there yet?’” he asked doing a really bad impression of a girl voice

“ok one I do not talk like that! And two no I am being patient today, or maybe your just being less annoying than usual”

“oh please” he said rolling his eyes “you love me your just in denial”

“you are so arrogant!” I yelled still smiling, what was with me recently I just couldn’t stop smiling! Come to think of it though neither could Chase

“stop your yelling were here” he said hopping out of the car quickly with a laugh, I looked up shocked at how quick the car ride had gone and checked out the surroundings “are you ready?” Chase asked holding out his hand for me to take, I took it and stepped out of the car careful to keep my dress down

“wow” I said as I looked out on to the lake, it was perfect, there was a little wooden jetty on the opposite side and a rope swing hung off one of the huge surrounding trees

“I know right” he said from beside me, I looked up at him and smiled as his eyes met mine

“how do you find these places?” I asked shaking my head, he seemed to know so many perfect places with these amazing views, I looked around again and saw we were the only people here, no tourists, no noise, just us.

“what can I say I’m amazing” he replied shrugging, he turned down to look at me and I leant up on my tip toes pressing my lips against his lightly, I felt him smile as he rested his arm around my waist

“race you to the jetti” I said suddenly already pulling back and racing over to the other side of the lake

*******

“you know it’s a good job I decided to wear a bikini, you didn’t exactly warn me we would be swimming” I said as I took of my shirt and settled back on to the wooden walkway

“hey Summer” I heard him say from somewhere above me

“yeah?”

“we’re going to be swimming today” I smiled and stifled a giggle whilst rolling my eyes

“you are so immature” I  said closing my eyes and enjoying the warm sun, it didn’t last long though as I felt a shadow over me “Chase” I said simply motioning for him to move, instead of moving though I felt two strong arms either side of me and warm minty breath blowing lightly on my face, I kept my eyes closed nervously waiting for whatever he was going to do, two seconds later I felt his lips against mine and I resisted the urge to smile, was it possible to feel so happy right now? I used to feel guilty for being happy when my mom and dad had died but I knew they wouldn’t want that, I also knew they would like Chase even if he was an arrogant player. I ran my hands through his hair pulling him closer to me, his hands moved from either side of me to my waist as he leant on his knees pulling me up, I squealed as he lifted me so my legs were around his waist, he was stood now and I slowly realised my mistake

“Chase don’t you dare!” I yelled as he walked closer to the edge of the jetty, I heard him laugh and felt his chest vibrate under me

“no need for violence” he replied happily as I hit him continuously on the chest

“put me down!” I squealed not wanting to go in the water

“if you say so” he said laughing, oh no. He released his hold around me and I let out another girly squeal as I flew through the air in to the cold water. He was so dead.
