Jackson and I had been pretty much inseparable as the last days of the summer holidays flew by, With Jax's Mum working around the clock and Tyler gone we pretty much stayed at Jacksons house venturing outside only a few times to check out the latest release at the cinema or to go swimming.
Jax didn't speak about it much but I knew he was missing his brother.
Tyler had left around a year ago to join the army, He had his mind set on it for awhile and his dream became a reality when he got accepted into military college to start his training.
The boys were always pretty close growing up and even with the 3 year age gap and different circle of friends they still managed to share a fairly close bond. Along with my Dad, Tyler was one of the only 2 men Jackson looked up to.
My relationship with Tyler was a bit of a love hate one, growing up it was filled with constant pranks and silly jokes but then I became a teenage girl - with breasts and I started to fill out as did he, well then our relationship became a game of innocent hand touches and flirting, but it wasn't until the night before he left he had called me into his room while Jax was in the shower,
FLASHBACK:
"Hey Skye, have you got a sec?" Ty called out to me, making my way into his room he was bent over his bag he had been packing - this was his last night,
"You Ok Ty? Do you need me to do something?" He stood up when he heard me enter his room, turning to face me - now Tyler was a down right hottie, he was a bit older than me - my 15 to his 18, he was damn fine - his body was muscular, he had dark hair and olive skin like Jackson but it was his eyes - oh my god those amazing green eyes that shone just like emeralds.
"Yeah, I ahh actually just wanted to talk to you about something" he walked over to the door and closed it - ummm what was going on.
"Ok, what um, what did you want to talk about?" He came to stand in front of me, close enough so our feet were touching,
"I guess I just wanted to say a proper good bye to you"
"Oh" I felt sad Ty was leaving, but happy for him at the same time to be pursuing his dreams "I will miss you Ty" I wrapped my arms around him, and he quickly pulled me tighter against his chest, his hands resting on my lower back,
"I will miss you too Skye, more than you probably even realise" I lifted my head to look at him, and couldn't help but lean into his palm as his gang cupped my cheek "God you are beautiful Skye"
"Tyler"
"Shhhh, its ok baby girl" he tilted my chin up higher with his fingers and slowly brought his lips down to mine, his kiss was soft and when his tongue touched mine it was like a fire had ignited deep within my stomach, it was filled with emotion and I wondered how long he had been wanting to do this, pulling away he rested his forehead against mine,
"Wow" I breathed, opening my eyes to look at him, Tyler smiled shyly at me,
"That should have been our first date kiss, not our goodbye kiss" his voice was a whisper, I didn't know what to say to him as he pulled me back into his arms, my heart beating wildly in my chest - my brain working overtime at the thought - holy shit - I just kissed Tyler Archer.
PRESENT DAY:
One thing I did like about school was the fact we had to wear a uniform, so there was no mad panic of picking my outfit for for the first day back, just pack my bag and I was ready - sort of. Arriving to school on the first day on the back of Jacksons motorbike caused a stir amongst his group of 'fan girls' who battered their eyes at him, giggling hellos whilst we walked past them, how I would love to tell them to wake up to themselves, that acting like a desperate hoe would not score them any points. I thought I had kept my chuckle to myself but apparently I had failed, Jackson looked down at me smirking,
"You good there love?"
"Just wondering where the flashing sign is - I mean it screams desperate hoe alert" I gave him my best fake smile using my head to indicate the group of girls which seemed to have grown since last year.
Jackson chuckled at me, placing his arm around my waist he pulled me as close to him as he could whilst we continued down the hallway. I couldn't help but flick my hair over my shoulder looking at the girls who stood back watching us, I laughed in their direction. Jackson leaned in closer to me,
"You are big trouble my beautiful Star"
"Maybe, but you wouldn't want me any other way Jax", he kissed my cheek as we reached our destination. Jackson's ability to show affection to me was always one of my favourite things about him. He was never one to flaunt his conquests or brag about the latest girl he had fucked, he doesn't spend his lunch hours with random skanks he barely knows the name of and his public displays of affection are reserved solely for me - although secretly I think he does it to keep the other boys away from me but he has always done it even when we were little.
Each day became the same as the next as we settled into our school routine, Nothing ever really changed.
Jackson had picked up an after school job at one of the local mechanics, aiming to earn a bit of spare cash to take some of the pressure off his Mum. In turn I kept myself busy while he worked by enrolling in a hospitality course at Tafe 2 afternoons a week, It was actually pretty fun.
More of a surprise I had actually managed to befriend a girl, Sarah - she wasn't a complete moron - as a bonus she wasn't completely infatuated with Jackson and she didn't feel the need to question our relationship, she had a boyfriend too that was pretty cool so the 4 of us would hang out sometimes at lunch, thats about as far as it went though, there were a couple of invitations to hang out after school and go shopping but I really wasn't interested.
Days turned into weeks and weeks quickly turned to months, before we had time to realise summer had left us, the days had become shorter as autumn settled in, the cooler weather bringing the promise that school holidays were not far away.
I was seated at our regular table when Jackson approached us sitting across the bench seat one leg on each side, he kissed my cheek pulling me back to lay on his chest he turned to greet our friends Sarah and her boyfriend Jason.
"So" he started "Mum is going away this weekend, Am feeling a little party is on the cards" I twisted my head to look at him.
"Really?" A hint of mischief and surprise in my voice, Jackson kissed my forehead.
"Yes trouble, really" he turned his attention to Sarah and Jason continuing on,
"Invite whoever you want, BYO alcohol, I think we all need to let off some steam" he was running his fingers up and down my arms.
"I thought you did that last weekend with Jess, or was it Hayley, I really am having trouble keeping up" He knew I was playing with him, the sarcasm evident in my voice, He lowered his face bringing his lips to my ear,
"You know my beautiful Star, it almost sounds like jealousy, Not that there is any need for that baby, I will always belong to you. All these other girls are just a distraction" he ran his tongue along my ear followed by a small kiss. My body trembled under his touch.
"Oh my god, you guys are so cute, remind me why you aren't together?" Sarah piped up.
"This is all you Star" Jackson commented.
"It's simple really, he just isn't ready to handle me yet" Jackson flashed me a gorgeous, pantie dropping smile,
"Ain't that the truth" He kissed my cheek "So Saturday" he continued "Lets kick off around 7, Mum won't be home until Monday so we have time, You'll stay at mine yeah?"
"Is that actually a question?" I asked him adding "As long as you aren't taking some random slut into your bed I'll be there", He pulled me even closer to him,
"You know I don't allow meaningless girls into my room let alone my bed", He was right, I had been the only girl he had ever had in his room, the only one he had shared his bed with and I loved it. I hopped up onto my knees placing my arms around his neck and kissed his lips running my tongue along his bottom lip tracing his lip ring, his fingers digging into my waist imprinting onto my skin,
"Mine" he grunted, our lips still connected,
"Forever and always" I whispered back to him.
