Come Back

22 // Love Again

Erika's POV-
Jake and I have been kind of flirting all day. I still feel bad about sleeping with Logan. Jake is such a sweetheart and today made me realize that I still love him. We were all just hanging out at my house.

Tessa: We should do something fun today
Erika: Like what?
Chance: Lets get into trouble.
Logan: How so?
Anthony: whatever it is, i'm so down.
Chance: Okay, so we get wasted and then we can go to that lake with the cliffs and all that.
Tessa: CHANCE you know that's a private area.
Erika: even better

I smirk and we all agree to go. Tessa is a bit iffy but I'm sure she will change her mind.

Chance: so everyone go get on a bathing suit and meet back here in 20.

We all nod, and go our separate ways. Jake was about to head out but I quickly grab his hand and pull him close to me.
I whispered in his ear "Lets go upstairs" he smirks at me and follows up.
Once we get upstairs I close my door and Jake immediately kisses me. He pulls me in by my waist . I smile in the kiss and bite his lip. I pull back and smile.

Erika: I brought you in here so you could help me pick out a bikini, not for that.
Jake: I have to tell you something Rik..
Erika: okay..

He comes close to me again and looks down to grab my hands. "I still love you. I want you Erika" He looks up at me and stares right into my eyes.
I didn't know what to say so I kissed him instead. He kissed back. We make it to my bed and I lay on top of him, not breaking contact. He pushes me down to him even more. I can feel him growing right under me.
He squeezes my ass and I laugh breaking our faces away.
I leave a trail of kisses, all the way down his neck , and climb off of him. I pull him to sit
 up.

Erika: okay, now help me pick out a bikini.
Jake: I like you better nude.

He smirks and I slap his arm. I go to my dresser and take four different ones.
I go to take my clothes off and put my first bathing suit on. It's red and a two piece. I come out and Jake's face lit up. He covered his hands over his junk and replied with "I like that one a lot"
I giggle and go to try on my next two but I didn't like how they fit me. My last one was really nice. It was black and a two piece. I walked out and Jake saw me. He got up and pulled me really close to him.
"I really need you right now baby" he whispered in my ear. As he grabbed my ass again, all I could think about was Logan. I hated it. He kissed me and I kissed back.
I pull back and bite my lip.
"Sorry Jake," I cry. "I can't do this right now." I look away and he hugs me from behind.
"Erika it's okay. I still love you."

I turn around hug him tight. I really want to be with him, but I can't if all I think about is Logan and I making that BIG mistake.

Jake: I'm going to get my bathing suit. And wear this one. It's cute.

He pulls me in by my bikini, talking about it. He kissed my forehead and leaves.
I feel so conflicted, but I didn't have anytime to think because Chance yelled for me to come downstairs, as we were leaving already.

I throw on my cover up and go downstairs. I see Chance, Tessa, Tony and Logan downstairs.
I smile at them and Logan and I make eye contact.

Chance: we are waiting on Jake. He couldn't find his shorts apparently.

I silently laugh. Just then he came through the door, with a cooler in his hand.

Jake: I got snacks, we just need booze
Chance: Don't worry kid, I got that taken care of.

He pulls a mini cooler and opens it to show us that he had alcohol. The boys cheered and loaded up the truck. I grabbed towels and sunscreen.
We all got in and headed to the lake.

--

Once we got there, we snuck through this hole in the gate and found a place. Tessa and I set up as the boys admired the lake.
Jake pulled me over to him and hugged me.
"You look so cute baby" he said softly, causing me to blush hard.

Chance: Hey Paul, hands off my baby sister. She's not into you.

I giggle and roll my eyes. Logan comes over to me and says hi, a little nervous. "Hi Lo" I said to him.

Logan: I don't want things to be weird.
Erika: me either
Logan: okay so, we go back to normal?

I nod and smile and he goes back.  I walk over to the rest of them and we all take in the view.

Chance: she's a beaut
Anthony: for sure.
Chance: so besides Erika, who isn't afraid of heights?
Anthony: I'm not
Jake: neither am I.
Logan: you can count me out. If there's one thing I don't do, it's heights.
Tessa: me too.
Erika: ugh losers. Chance let's go. I wanna jump off already.
Chance: so ready. Who else wants to go?
Jake: me.
Anthony: on second thought, I'm going to stay here just in case.
Erika: Tony! Don't be a baby back bitch, come on!
Jake: Yeah, baby back!
Chance: yeah, bitch!

Tony rolls his eyes and shakes his head no. I shrug my shoulders and grab Jake by the arm.

Erika: Lets go then boys!

We climb up this tall cliff and finally make it to the top. Chance says hes going to go first, but not after he yells out for Tessa's attention. 

Chance: TESSA!! BABE!! I'M ABOUT TO JUMP!!!!

Tessa screamed something as a reply, but no one really understood her. Chance looked back at me and chuckled. "This is it boys... and Rik" with that he jumps and a few second later all you can hear is his splash. I look down at how far up we were. I was excited. Chance and I are defiantly adrenaline junkies. I mean, feeling scared is what I live for. 

Erika: Wanna go? Or should I go first? 
Jake: Why not jump together? 
Chance: HURRY UP UP THERE WE DON'T GOT ALL DAY 

I grabbed Jake's hand and we jumped together. My heart was beating fast, my hair was flying up and my feet were aiming for the water.  As soon as I hit the water, my smile grew. I loved it. 
I met Jake at the top and we both laughed. He pulled me close to him and we kissed, almost like we were in a movie. "I love you Jake" i say. 
He looks at me and smiles. "Be mine again baby" he asked. I slightly nod my head and bite my lip, accepting. We locked lips again, and headed back to the rest of the squad. I was happy with Jake but something was off. I shrug it off and chose to ignore it.
