First Choice (Sam Wilkinson/Nash Grier)

Chapter 8

We were finally back from the store. We pulled into jack's driveway. I opened the door and hopped down off of Nash's lap. I had to be honest that sitting on his lap was the most intimate thing I'd ever done with a guy. I know how pathetic that is considering I'm 16.

Aaliyah and I grabbed the hot dog buns, chip bags, and two bottles of vodka and brought them into the house. Tasha and Aaron were waiting to help us unpack everything.

"Sweet! How'd you guys score vodka?" Aaron put the two bottles in the freezer. "Gilinsky's friends with the store owners so he can basically get whatever." I said as I grabbed the huge bag of hot Cheetos and opened it, popping one in my mouth. I hopped up on the counter and Aaliyah came over and leaned on the counter beside me.

"So... You and Nash were looking super cute in the car." She nudged my arm playfully.

"Oh, tell me everything." Tasha said from across the kitchen as she opened the bag of cheddar ruffles and Poured them into a bowl.

"Well, I had to sit on his lap. And I don't know if he was flirting or not... But he's really sweet." I rambled laying my head back against the cupboard.

"Yeah, it's pretty safe to say that our innocent little Jasmine has got a crush on a certain blue eyed boy." Aaliyah grinned.

"Oh my gosh! Do you think he likes you?" Tasha asked.

"I don't know. I have no clue about anything when it comes to boys. Y'all know I've got no experience." I sighed, slumping my shoulders. I grabbed a handful of Cheetos from the bag and started munching on them.

"Oh, he likes you." Aaron smirked, walking over to Tasha and wrapping his hands around her waist from behind. I blushed at there intimacy, I really wanted to know what that felt like.

I choked on a Cheeto that I was swallowing,"how do you know that?" I asked, coughing horrendously.

"Cause, he asked about you the whole drive here." Aaron said blankly, as if it was obvious.

"WHAT? Aaron you are the best!" I yelled jumping down from the counter.

"You know me! Number one wingman." He smiled turning and kissing Tasha on the cheek.

"Tasha, your boyfriend is awesome." Aaliyah laughed.

"I know, I know." She blushed.

"Well I'll go out and see if they need help." Aaron said, walking out to the car.

Gilinsky had put the hot dogs on the grill already and was standing over them, flipping them to keep them from burning. I changed out of my teal bathing suit and shorts that I'd worn previously, and into one of my hoodies that I'd brought just in case, and a pair of tights.

Though it was warm to go swimming, it was early in the fall and it starting to get cold at night. We were all sitting on the patio over looking the pool, in a huge circle. Jack sat alone on a patio chair. Sam and Sarah sat across from me and he had his arm around her shoulders. Johnson had left early, without a reason. Tasha and Aaron sat beside Sam and she was on Aaron's lap. Matthew sat on the oposite side of Jack, with Aaliyah sat between his legs, curled up against his chest.

I sat on a long patio chair that people usually tanned on and Nash sat behind me. The chair was turned slightly side ways so we were completing the circle. The guys had brought out candles because the sun was setting. About ten candles of random scents adorned the table. Everyone held a cup of alcohol mixed with random drinks except for Nash, Aaron, Aaliyah, and I.

They weren't drunk yet, but give them a few hours as they would be. It was very cold and my legs were freezing. Nash was now wearing a white sweatshirt, and navy blue sweatpants. I recognized them as one of Sam's pairs, which was strange because Sam had told me earlier that he didn't like Nash. I rubbed my hands over my thighs, trying to warm them.
