Boomerang // Jack Avery

Addilyn's POV

I was sitting on my couch when I heard a two knocks on my front door. I opened the door to see Jack. His face lit up as soon as he saw me. He is wearing a plain t-shirt with a flannel wrapped around his waist and some regular jeans. He also had plain white high top converse on.

"Hey there. You ready to go?" he asked. I nodded and grabbed my keys off the table by the door. I locked the door on my way out and he lead me to his car, opening the passenger door for me. "What a gentlemen," I said and he gave a big smile.

"That's me," he responded. He shut the door and ran around to the driver side. He backed out of my driveway and drove off to the unknown location. "So are you going to tell me where we're going?" I asked.

"Man, you are very persistent," he responded. "Fine I'll tell you. Now this place is very special to me. I don't usually take people here. It's like my sweet escape." I felt special that he was taking me to a place that meant something to him. "You're making me feel important," I told him.

"You are important."

"Thanks," I blushed, "but you still haven't told me where this special place is."

"Oh right, Well how about I just show you. We're here." We pulled up to a skatepark. Oh great, I thought, a skatepark. Does he want me to embarrass myself? He hopped out the car and opened the door for me. I got out of the car and he took a second to scan my body, smirking as he did it. "You look great by the way."

I smiled and said, "Thanks," trying to keep from blushing.

"Okay so if you couldn't tell, we are at a skatepark," he said, extending his arm to present the park. He opened up the back door to the car and took out two skateboards and handed me one to close the door. "Have you ever skated before?"

"No, not at all. I've tried a total of one time and fell...hard...on my butt." He laughs at my incident. "Not funny," I fake whine and give him a playful punch to his shoulder. He tried to stop himself from laughing.

"Sorry, you're right. Not funny at all. But today you have a great teacher and I will not let you fall."

"You better not." We enter the park and I watch Jack as he starts doing some tricks. "Wow you are actually good."

"Of course I am . Were you expecting less?" he questioned.

"No, not at all. I only expect the best from you,' I said sarcastically.

After Jack did a couple of more tricks, he decided it was time to teach me. He held out both of his hands out for me to grab so I could get on the board without falling. Once I was on and balanced, he helped put my feet in the right places. He moved his hands to my waist to steady me and I put my hands on his shoulders. Jack slowly started walking causing the board to move, and I was technically skating. "Oh my gosh!! I'm actually skating!!" I cheered.

"Yeah you are! And you're doing great!" We had giant smiles plastered on our faces. "Okay now this is the part where you skate on your own. I'll say that I won't let go but I secretly let go and you skate like a champ. Then we celebrate. Sound like a plan?"

"A great plan."

"Now, start skating. I won't let go." but of course he let go just like he said he would. I pushed my foot off the ground to start going faster. "Wayhoo, look at you go!" he cheered. I was doing great... great until I started heading towards a bush. He forget the lesson on turning, and on stoping. At the last minute I jumped off the board. I almost landed but then stumbled backwards on my butt. He started running up to me. "You okay?" he asked, concern filling his voice.

"Yeah, I'm good." He reached his hand out for me to grab to help me up, but instead I pulled him down onto the ground. He laid beside me on the grass. There he goes again with the staring, but this time it wasn't so creepy. I found myself staring back into his dark, lustful eyes. And then suddenly he was leaning in.
