The Bad Boy Next Door

43 - Accident

"So what you're saying is that Jonah had set up a whole cabana for you only to tease you?" Opal said for the 100th time.

Opal and I were at the beach both tanning on beach chairs.

"Yes." I reply. "Like I was so mad. Can you believe what he did? He gets up and says 'shit I'm hungry'. I was so mad."

"Well what did you do to deserve this?" Opal asked.

"Nothing! Well, he was getting hard and I just said I couldn't help him." I admitted. "It's whatever."

"I've had enough of tanning I'm going in the water." Opal said as she stood up from her chair. "Be right back."

I lay on my lounging chair in peace. I was so peaceful I was even about to fall asleep.

"Hi baby." A voice said as they approached me.

"Jonah." I murmured as he sat on Opal's lounging chair. He chuckled and moved over to sit on my lounging chair. "You're wet. Move." I complained.

"Baby are you still mad about yesterday?" He asked as his hand touched my thigh. "Well I'm sorry I thought it would be fun." He sighs.

The thing is this. I'm not really mad. I'm actually not mad at all. But talking about it to Opal made me a bit... annoyed. It was fun.

"It was fun." I admit to him.

"Really?" He asked and I nodded. "Move over." He tells me and I do as he asked. He lays down with his back against the chair. He basically is taking up all the space.

"There's no more space." I said crossing my arms.

"Just get on me. Like put your head on my chest, I'll wrap my arms around you, you can lace are legs together. Or whatever, if you want to." He said. All those made my heart flutter even though they were the corniest things to do I thought it was sweet he offered.

"Why are you being so sweet today?" I ask him.

"Take it or leave it." He answers back.

"Okay." I saw sweetly. I lay down, head on his chest, legs laced together and arm my arms wrapped around him. "You're wet."

"I know. Wanna go swimming?" He offers.

"I just got comfortable." I whined. "And I'm still on my period." Barley, but still. My period generally doesn't last long. I have it for about 2 days. The last time I saw the doctor she told me it was because I have this condition where it's easier for me to have children than others.

"You're wearing a tampon." He justifies.

"I'm so lazy I can't be bothered." I say.

"I'll hold carry you in." He says as he lifts us off the lounging chair and into the water. When I touch the water I immediately tense and tighten my legs and arms around Jonah. "It's cold, I know." He laughs.

"Why are you going so far?" I ask when we are far from the rest of the people in the ocean.

"I wanna be alone with my baby." He says as he caresses my cheek. His choice of words make my heart flutter. He lightly pecks my lips. "I love you, Natalia. Forever. Nothing will ever make me stop. If anything ever happens to me, just know I will always come back for you." I loop my arms around his neck and tilt my head.

"Why are you telling me this?" I ask a bit worried for him.

"I'm going back to L.A tonight." He finally admits after a moment of silence. "And I won't be at school for the first week back."

"Why?" I ask as tears come to my eyes.

"Baby don't cry." He said as he wiped the tears that I shed.
