My Best Friend's Brother / Ross Lynch Love Story

Chapter 7 "Kisses & Confusion"

\Selena's POV/

We were all walking back from the park in which we were all messy from playing and it's true, I did fall a few times but luckily, it wasn't on my face.

I called dibs on taking a shower first and then the boys could go. It was really late. I'm surprised Mark and Stormie didn't notice. I go into the shower and washed my hair and every part of my body clean. I am done with my shower and I go into Delly's room, also known as Rydel, and put on some lazy pajama pants and a some shirt that I found in my bag.

I go out of my room into the living room and see Riker.

"Riker, your turn," I say and he walks to the bathroom. Rocky and Ryland sit on the couch just playing video games. I can't see Ross. I saw him on the way home but he sort of just disappeared. I shrug it off and decide to go outside in the backyard where their pool was to look at the stars. I roll up my pajama pants a bit and dip my feet into the water. I look up at the stars and think about life. Where I am and where I will go when I'm ready to start my own life outside of my mom's house.

I suddenly felt something at my feet,

I jump out of the water from the surprise and I see what looks like something yellow hair floating at the top. But, then I saw to hands come out and then eventually, a face. Ross's face.

"Hey, what are you doing?" he laughed.

I roll my eyes and say, "just thinking." Then I sit back down onto the pool edge.

He asked, "About?" and got out of the water and sit down next to me even though he was wet. I sigh and go to the chair where there was a towel on it and throw it at him. He chuckles and wipes away some of the water on his face and hair and then his chest and arms.

I sit back down next to him and say, "Life, ya know?"

He nodded and said, "Surprisingly, yes."

I smile and get a little smart, "Wow, you finally know what I'm saying and thinking."

He looks at me like I'm crazy and shakes his head, "Girl, I am not afriad to throw you into this pool!"

I laugh and yell, "Oh please don't. I just took a shower," then I continue,

"And you said I was maybe a little fat so what makes you think you can pick me up?"

He shrugged and said, "I don't know. Maybe this," then grabs my legs and my back and picked me up bridal style.

"ROSS! NO! WHAT!" I would yell at him clutching onto him hoping to be not thrown in.

"Say you believe me," he says threatening to throw me in.

"Fine. Fine. I believe you. Just put me down," I plead while hiding my face.

He quickly remarks, "Nah, now this wouldn't be fun if I put you down."

My eyes go wide. Next thing I know, I'm thrown into a pool filled with water. I shout,

"ROSS! I CAN'T SWIM! SERIOUSLY!" and I go underwater. I suddenly hear a loud splash and see bubbles. Then some hands touching me and arms and then I know I'm being picked back up.

"You shouldv'e told me you can't swim," Ross yells at me.

I start to crack up laughing. He seems confused. "What's so funny?"

"I can swim. I just wanted to see..um.." I stutter.

"What?" he asks with seems like caring eyes. I wouldn't know. I have never seen Ross with "caring, loving" eyes. All I have seen is hatred. He always has. He has told me before I could go die and he would not care at all.
