Off Limits

chapter two

The movie ended and the guys were leaving except, for Blake. Amy and I had no intention of moving either. Justin noticed we weren't moving and neither was Blake so he sat back down, the rest of the guys followed Justin's move and sat back down. The ending credits played and it went back to the credit for the other individuals who made the movie what it was. Still Amy and I didn't move an inch and again neither did Blake. When the second movie credit rolled around Amy and I were speaking about all our theories about what was coming and so forth. I looked at Blake with a questioning brow "any theories bro?" I questioned him. "I'll tell you about them later" he smiled at me.

Sure, he was the school's popular guy but he also had his dorky side and that's the side I get along with. I turned to look at Amy who was gawking at Justin already. I glanced his way. Justin was in deep conversation with the guys. Liam was standing beside him nodding along and speaking only when he found it relevant. "Sooo, Aims" I said pulling her out of her daze "did you want to sleep over?"

She slowly turned to me. 'Clearly still thinking about Justin' I thought to myself. "Oh um, yeah" she said now fully paying attention to me.

"We can go swimming and watch more movies and make a fire! We can do whatever" I suggested to her and she gave me a knowing smirk "you had me at swimming" she said with a slight chuckle.

"Good! You want to drive me?" I asked. "Of course, wouldn't want you in a car full of idiots again" she said laughing at her own joke.

Amy and I pull up to my house and race inside and up to my room. "Ugh, they beat us! How?" Aims said looking out my window. 'because you drive below the speed limit, that's how' I thought. "Holy shit" she said leaning closer to the window. "What?" I asked curiously as I finished pulling off my shirt. "Come look" she said with a sigh. I rushed to my window and peered outside to the ground. She followed my gaze. "No, no, not there" she said pushing my face up "there, I forgot you could see right into Liam's room" she said as she kept her gaze on the figure in the room across from mine. "Aims the window is open, quiet down. And you forget that because I always keep my curtains closed!" I scream whispered. I hadn't noticed when Liam opened his window but I heard a slight laugh.

My head whipped to the direction it came from, Liam. I rolled my eyes. "It's been a while since you've given me a show Jones" I glared at him and I was confused by what he meant by 'a show,' it took me a while to realize what he talking about. I looked down, I was only in my bra and swim suit bottoms. I felt the blush rise to my cheeks as I yelled at him and rushed to where he couldn't see me. Amy still kept talking to Liam and every word she spoke made me feel more embarrassed.

"Enjoy what you saw there Liam?" Aims questioned him. I, however, threw a stuffed animal at her. She glared at me and I could hear the laugh come from him. "Sure did" he said loud enough for me to hear. "It's alright your show was much more entertaining" Amy said smirking at me. "I'm glad to hear it" was all he said. During their exchange, I had put the rest of my bathing suit on and wrapped a towel around myself. I walked up to the window to where Aims was. "Now if you'll excuse us, we are going swimming" I said as I slammed the window shut. And as I was shutting the curtain I heard a faint "thanks for the invite, I'll be there in five" come from his window.
'Ugh great, just what I wanted. ' I thought sarcastically to myself.

"Why did you do that" I whisper yelled.

Aims shrugged her shoulders and said it was good entertainment. I proceeded to look at her with my 'really, you call that entertainment' face. As I moved past Amy and to the door I went down to the kitchen and grabbed the jug of water from the fridge and two plastic cups and headed out to the back.

Here's the thing about our house. Since the Hardman's moved in next door it was decided that our two backyards would be shared between us all. Which meant that we had one huge backyard. On our side of the backyard we had a pool and a shed. The shed was a mix between an outdoor bathroom and a tool shed, for my dad. In between our houses was a large hot tub and barbeque station that my dad liked to call the grill station. In the winter, the Hardman's built a skating rink.

But the main point of not putting a fence in between our yards was that the boys would have plenty of room to practice football. It was kind of cool that we shared our yards and everything in it, there was always something to do. In the summer we camped in our back yard, a ritual Aims and I partook in every summer. What is more, is that with our set up it made for some nice parties. Mainly because we didn't have to worry about the inside of the house.

But here's the thing, I love the Hardman's they're nice people. But, their son was a force that I couldn't deal with.

By the time I had set up outside Amy came out with a bowl of chips. I heard yelling and hooting from the house next door. 'Great' I thought. The guys came rushing out of the house and towards the pool. I knew what was going to happen.

"No! Guys, no!" I screamed but it was no use.

Blake and Justin were already yelling cannonball and jumped into the pool about six other guys jumped in the pool right after that. I could've sworn I heard Amy screech something about the chips. We were already a bit wet from the splash from the monstrous boys. I looked over at Amy and begun to laugh. Her chocolate brown hair was plastered to her face and was holding onto the bowl of chips for dear life. And if looks could kill, the guys would already be six feet under. The hazel eyes glaring at the guys in the pool was absolutely hilarious, well to me anyways.

"Geronimo!" I looked over at Blake who was running at the pool at full speed and cannonballing into the pool once again.

"Not the chips again!" Amy yelled and I laughed again. Blake, Justin and Andrew got out the pool. I was kind of weary about what they were doing but I turned around to fill our cups with cold water anyways. I then hear Amy flailing and arguing.

"No Justin put me down" I turned around just in time to see Justin jump into the pool with her in his hands. The guys begun howling with laughter. And I admit I was laughing along with them. I heard one of the guys mutter "I swear Justin likes her" to the guy beside him who replied with "yea, no shit Kyle" and splashed him with water.

That raised my interest in their conversation and I turned around to Blake to ask him about it, to find he was going in to grab my arms. "What the hell, Blake!" I squealed. I then felt Andrew grab my ankles. "No, no, not me too. This isn't funny" I said between laughs. They started swinging and I heard my brother yell "incoming" just before they let me go as I flailed into the pool.

I gasped as I went into the pool colliding with someone. I was stuck to whoever I collided with. I tried to go out of the water for some air. I was still laughing that was until I realized where my bracelet was stuck and to who my bracelet was stuck on.

"I knew you had a crush on me but to go this far" he said while laughing at me. I looked at where I was stuck. 'Oh my god, oh my god. Oh. My. God. This is so embarrassing!' I kept repeating in my head. My bracelet had somehow gotten stuck on the string holding up Liam's bathing suit.

"Are you going to help me or what" I said to him. No one was paying attention to our discussion.

"Nope, I think I'm just going to watch" he looked at me and smirked.

"Do you have to smirk? Can you please just help me" I said in hushed tones

"Okay, okay. I'll help he said as he reached down and took off my bracelet and managed to untangle it out of the string on his swim suit. I watched as he raised an eye brow at me.

"Wrist, Jones" he said and I lifted up my wrist. He put my bracelet back on and I mumbled a quiet thank you and swam to the stairs.

"Where are you going" Blake asked me.

"I'm getting out" I stated.

"Come on, we are about to play a game"

"I was going to start the fire, Aims wanted to make s'mores" I told him honestly.

"Alright, but after the game, please" he begged me to stay.

"Okay, just one game" I said.
