Twelve Boyfriends

Chapter 6

I get to the little cave, and get behind what there is of a wall. I peek around the corner, and see if Brady is looking, which he is. If Brady was just any other boy, I'd go over and slap him. But, he's not... Brady is special. I feel it deep inside my bones.

"Brady!" I shout. I can't help but smile, but I don't know why. Maybe I do know why. Maybe I just don't want to admit it.

"Sorry," He laughs, and turns around. I turn around as well-If he sees any part of me, he's getting the back-and change my top. Then I change my bottoms, run to my backpack, and shove my clothes in. I look up at Brady and his face is turned. He whistles, and clasps his hands behind his back. I run up to push him off the cliff of the waterfall, and he falls in, yelling.

I laugh like crazy, and so does he. "And you thought I would push you off a cliff! Hah." He holds his hand up to the rock, and I take it. He agressively pulls me in, and for a moment I get scared I'll get caught in the rushing water, but he pulls me up, holding me to his chest. We're so close that our noses almost touch.

I clear my throat and look away.

"What?" he asks.

I dive into the water, and pull on his leg.

"Ahhh!" he freaks. I come out of the water laughing. He pretend pushes me, then pulls me close again. A rush goes through my body and lungs; a rush that I've never felt before. Like adrenaline, but something way more than that. like, 5x adrenaline, or something. Yeah.

I know you're probably thinking, 'wow. I totally ship them. But this girl is kind of a sloot...' Well, I'm not. I feel something with Brady. It's almost as if my life is a piano, and a few strings that were broken are now mended. (I know. Deep.)

All of a sudden, He lifts me up and swings me over his shoulder, like a sack of 'taters. I gasp as I dangle down his back. I laugh, and the blood rushes to my head. OW.

"Put me down!" Then he pulls me back so I'm facing him. lifting me into the air, he spins me around.

He's lucky I don't throw up very often, because if I did, I would have just puked right on him. "Maia. Hmmmm. I like you, Maia. I think I'll keep you around for a while." We both smile.

I quickly jump away. "You'll have to catch me first!" I tease. Diving into the water, I head away from the waterfall.

"Gotcha!" He yells. His smile is just. Ohmylord. He grabs my wrist, and I spin around. We're both dripping wet, yet he still smells amazing. I know it's a natural smell. Like, how he smells after he's showered; all of the smells of the day having washed out of his skin, and it's just him. Pure Brady. I can sense it.

The sun begins to set. That means it's almost supper time. My mother's words play through my head. Be back in time for supper. I'll be back in time.

Our noses touch, and he pulls me out of the water into the cave. I want to leave him hanging. Wanting more. I swing on my backpack, and catching him off guard, I press my lips against his, wrapping my arms around his neck. It feels so comfortable, unlike any other guy I have ever dated. It feels real. He grabs my waist, but before he can go further, I turn, sprinting toward the vines and leaves that hang and conceal the path to my house.

"Wait!" he yells.

I whip around, my hair whipping with the rest of my body.

"How will I find you? I don't have your number."

"Meet me here tomorrow-Sunday- Same time." I smile, and once again turn and run.

Wow. Brady, huh? And he likes....me? Dang. That boy...

As I lose myself in thought, I run right into a hot, sweaty boy.

"My ba-" He starts, then stops. "I'm sorry," He says. He cups his hand under my elbow, and I pull away.

I fake smile. "Thanks."

"I'm Peter."

"That's great."

He laughs. "Hah. You're a tough one, aren't you?"

"Why does everyone keep saying that?!"

"But.. No, really. I mean, sorry I fell on you and all, but I really gotta go. Supper on the table at six o'clock."I say, looking down and to my right. (I do that sometimes when I'm in thought)

Who is this guy?? Two guys all in 12 hours. What a day.
