birthday surprise

chapter 5

The boys and I decide to go swimming for a few hours to celebrate Jack and I's relationship. Jack let's me change in his bathroom and he changes in his bedroom. As I'm slipping my bikini top on I hear a knock on the door.
"The boys and I will be outside. Come out when youre ready Liz." Jack says.
A little bit later I walk out by the pool and get in. Jack comes from behind me and grabs my waist and pulls me closer to his body. I stare up at him and his beautiful eyes as he stares down at me. For once, I feel safe, and happy. Even though it didn't go exactly as planned, I'm glad I kissed him, and not have chosen Zach.

(Jack's pov)
I see Lizzy walk into the pool and I decide to playfully pull her closely to me. We both stared into each other's eyes for a moment, but I couldn't help notice that Zach was watching us. Lizzy stood up on her tippy toes and as our lips locked, I knew she was the one. I felt at home with her, and just then we both get squirted with a water gun!
"GET OFF MY SISTER!" Yells Logan. We quickly jump away from each other. Lizzy looks at me. We both agreed him and Jake couldn't find out about this. I mean we didn't even want the boys to find out, but they did anyways.
"Now what do you two think you're doing? What, are you a thing now?" Logan asks.
"As of today we are." Lizzy says confidently, trying to look more buff.
"Come on Lizzy we need to go. Mom is gonna be here in an hour to visit us. Go get changed." Logan commands.
"Okay fine. Bye guys!" Lizzy says. I nudge her arm once more and whisper "I love you." she looks down and smiles then gets out of the pool. Shortly after Lizzy and Logan left the house the boys and I went inside. I decided to tell Zach what happened to see what his reaction would be.
"She didn't say I love you back. Should I be worried?" I ask him, studying his face.
"Well you did just get together today. Give her some time, she'll come around." He answers. His face softens up a little, and it was like he actually felt sorry. Or like he didn't like Lizzy romantically, just in a friend way. Unless he knows something I don't.

(Lizzy's pov)
"Mom! Dad!" I scream when I walk through the door of Logan and I's apartment. I jump up and give my dad a huge hug and then do the same for my mom.
"Hi Lizzy! What's it like living with Logan?" They say.
"Oh, you know, he's a total pigsty so I'm constantly having to pick up after him." I say.
"What? No I'm not. If anything, it's the other way around." Logan says, trying to defend himself.
"Oh really? I believe Lizzy more, I've had to live with you for 18 years, your room was such a mess!" Dad says.
"How are the boys?" Mom asks.
"They're good." I tell them.
"Have you hung out with them lately?" She says.
"Hung out? More like have you screwed recently?" Logan teases. I give him the death stare. Mom and Dad look very surprised.
"It was just a kiss. I swear." I tell them.
"Don't trust her mom, I saw it." Logan says.
