Chapter 34

        I splashed in the water, and let myself relax. The water was very refreshing, and Matthew seemed relaxed too. “

        Yo! Get in Mendes! I won’t bite!” Jack J yelled to him, beckoning him to come in. He stood up and shrugged, and took off his shirt. I averted my eyes, not ready to see him shirtless quite yet, as I had so many times that we slept in the same bed. No, no. Forget about it. It’s history.

        What hurt the most, is to think that I would never lay in the same bed with him again. It killed me. The Jacks came deeper in the water, next to Matthew and I. Shawn came running in the water, and quickly swam over to us.

         “Hey, let’s play that one game where you get on each other’s shoulders and try to knock each other over, and one of us can be the ref!” Jack J shouted and we all gave a small shrug. It couldn’t hurt.

        “Okay, so I’m tiny so I’ll get on Shawn’s shoulders, Mykenna on Matt’s. Jack you're the ref. That work?” Jack J asked excitedly. Thank goodness he didn’t put me on Shawn’s.

        “Yeah! Cmon, climb on Mykenna.” Matthew lowered himself in the water, so that I could get on his shoulders. I bent down and quickly whispered in his ear.

         “I’m heavy.” I said, before I got on his shoulders, and he raised up.

          “Bullshit!” He said, and grabbed a hold of my knees. 

          The water was up to his belly button, so my feet didn't even graze it. Jack jumped on Shawn, and he stood up effortlessly.

        “Alright folks. I want a clean fight here. Ladies, at your mark.” Jack G said loudly, while winking at me. It made me smile, and I somehow forgave him. He whistled a high pitch noise, and I reached my arms out to Jack J. He was small, but somewhat strong.

        “NO!” He screamed and pushed me roughly, while laughing. I smiled and pushed back, all the while Matthew kept perfectly even, not moving an inch. He was sturdy, and I used it to my advantage. I gave a final push to Jack, and I felt his body give way. Unfortunately, his arms had a solid grip on my shoulders, and I began to fall with him.

        “We’re goin’ down!” Jack shouted before our bodies hit the water at the same time. Water splashed up over my body, and my nose filled with the salt. I splashed around, trying to resurface, but someone was on top of me. I closed my eyes, and felt for someone next to me, and found an arm. I quickly grabbed it, and broke through the surface.

        I was slightly gasping for air as I fell against someone’s body standing up. I wiped my eyes and saw a bare chest, I knew it had to be Matthew, I pressed myself against his body. While I was trying to recover from the salt that had traveled down my throat, his arm lightly rested against my hip, and touched the strap of my swim bottoms. I looked down and pressed his hand against my hip completely, letting him play with the strap, while his other hand slipped onto my ass. He could wrap his hand perfectly over my hip, and his other hand was gentle on my ass. I wondered why I let him do it, but I couldn’t ignore the heat that he gave off onto my body. You know butterflies in your stomach? More like all inside of my body. He grabbed my hips and roughly pulled me even closer. I smiled, and opened my eyes to meet his. I felt like vomiting.
