chapter six: spring break baby

A week later I was driving to pick Asher up from his house, then I'd go to Jayden's house to get her and Armani. Caleb and Sydney had left earlier this morning so they'd be the first at the lake house. Hayley was staying with a friend all week. She was so excited.
The lake house was a place my mom forgot about, so she didn't sell it. My grandparents left it to Caleb, Hayley, and me. They paid the bills for it and visited it sometimes, and when they pass away it'll be ours.
It's a beautiful big cabin next to the clearest lake I've ever seen. I love it. I've loved it since I was five years old.
I pulled into Ashers driveway and he quickly made his way to my car. He slid his suitcase in the trunk and climbed in the passenger seat next to me. He smiled and whispered, "Can I kiss you Julianna LeBlanc?" My smiled grew bigger and I nodded.
He leaned over the console and gave me a little kiss on my lips, then he placed a hand on my knee, and I started driving to Jayden's house.
I pulled into her driveway and we went to the front door. As soon as I knocked I heard Jayden yell, "Armani! Can you get that please?"
Soon the door swung open and Armani smiled at us, "alright guys come in, Jayden's just finishing some makeup." He said. I shook my head and said, "Of course she is, we're going to the lake and she's finishing her makeup."
Ashers pinky finger wrapped around mine and I tried as hard as possible not to blush. I hadn't realized we were standing so close.
When Jayden was ready she came downstairs and twirled for us to see her outfit. Armani tolled his eyes and said, "Okay babe, get your ass in the car, I'll get your stuff." She smiled and kissed his cheek then said, "Thank you." He nodded and Asher quickly said, "Oh, I'll help you, see you guys in the car."
He let go of my pinky and Jayden and I walked to the car. We were standing by the open trunk when Jayden asked, "Has he asked you out yet?" I shook my head and she groaned. Armani came around the side of the car and asked, "What's wrong?" Jayden sighed and said, "Asher still hasn't asked her out."
Armani smiled, a mischievous look was given, and he said, "I'm sure it'll happen Jay, come on let's get in the car."
Asher came out of the house with two suitcases. He closed the door behind him and carried the bags to the trunk. He put them in and closed the trunk before looking at me and saying, "We should probably get in the car." I nodded and said, "You're probably right." He smiled and slid a hand on my lower back, pulled me close, and planted a kiss on my lips. Then, we both got in the car.
Three and a half hours of music, naps, kisses, gas stations, and are we there yets filled the car before we got to the house. I saw Caleb's car and some of the lights were on in the house.
Armani and Jayden got out of the car and instantly went in the house. None of us planned on getting our bags just yet. Asher looked at the lake as we sat in the car and he whispered, "We should go skinny dipping." I laughed and said, "Let's start with swimming pretty boy."
Asher and I walked into the house. Armani, Jayden, Caleb, and Sydney were nowhere to be found. I gave Asher the tour until I ran into everyone. They were all in the informal living room.
Caleb looked up and said, "Alright what are the room arrangements, there are only four rooms and six of us." Armani grinned and said, "I can share a room with Jayden, and you are obviously sharing a room with Sydney." Caleb looked at Asher and I and said, "Alright you guys get a room each then." As we picked out rooms, I ended up being really far from Asher. I frowned and went to his room. I laid on the bed as he started unpacking and I said, "Can we go swimming?" Asher turned around and looked at me for awhile before saying, "Of course Annie, we can do whatever you want." I smiled and said, "Okay I'm gonna go change."
I quickly ran to my room and picked out my most flattering bathing suit. It was basic but showed off any curves I had. I put my hair in a messy bun on top of my head, maybe I can avoid getting it wet, I don't want to wash it tonight.
I put on the bathing suit and looked at myself on the mirror. I tilted my head and turned a few times, I didn't even notice Asher had come in the room. I saw him walk up behind me in the mirror and put his hands on my waist. He bent down and kissed my neck, keeping eye contact in the mirror. My hands rested on top of his as I leaned back into his figure. As he continued kissing up and down my neck and shoulder I whispered, "Don't leave any hickeys or Caleb will kill you." Asher nodded and mumbled something against my skin. I started giggling s he got to the crook of my neck. I was ticklish there. He smiled against my shoulder before he began tickling me.
His fingers brushed across my stomach as he made me laugh. I squirmed and laughed harder as he continued tickling me.
"Asher stop, stoooppp." I said giggling. Soon the door swung open and Caleb saw Asher tickling me. His facial expression eased as he realized I was fine.
"Hey bro." I said to my brother after Asher finally stopped tickling me, "We're gonna go swim." I added.
Asher and I walked to the lake together, towels wrapped over our arms. We laughed and joked and sat on the dock before Asher stood up. I did too, assuming we were leaving, then he wrapped his arms around my waist. I smiled before I realized what was happening. He pulled the both of us into the lake. I screamed and we both went under.
Now I'm gonna have to wash my hair tonight.
After splashing each other with water, swimming, kissing, and laughing we decided to go inside. Only because the sun was setting.
We went straight to the kitchen and Asher began cooking tacos. I smiled as I watched the boy work. I sat myself on top of the counter and watched in stat chopping things. When he was finished he turned and asked where the plates were. I smiled and said, "They're in this cabinet right behind me." He smiled and walked over. He opened the cabinet, his arm no beside me. I blushed as he moved away with the plates. When it was done I yelled out, "Guys, tacos!"
I heard Jayden running with Armani behind her. Caleb and Sydney walked in like normal people. Everyone got their tacos and we sat around the table. Asher and I were still in swimsuits. Caleb and Sydney were in pajamas and Armani and Jayden hadn't changed since we got here earlier.
I stood up and started collecting plates. I smiled at Asher and said, "You're a great cook Ash." Everyone thanked him and he blushed. He was embarrassed over all of the positive attention.
We all went to bed pretty soon. That's when the storm started. Storms were always bad near the lake house. Asher opened my door and whispered, "You awake?" I whispered back, "Yeah, the storm." He nodded and said, "me too, can I hang out with you for awhile." I opened my arms up wanting him to lay in bed with me. He laid his head on my chest and wrapped his arms around my waist.
I ran my fingers through the boys hair and started humming a song that I sang when I was little. Every time it stormed. Ashers snoring came shortly after he laid down. I smiled because of the cute little noise. I started quietly singing the actual song. When I finished, Asher scared me and whispered, "You're perfect Julianna Grace LeBlanc. Absolutely perfect." I was glad it was dark and he couldn't see the blush on my face. I fell asleep with the bad boy in my arms and a storm raging outside. It was blissful and chaotic and perfect.
