Never mine

Chapter 7

February 2017

Summer was almost over and school was about to start again.

The start of VCE and year 11. These were exciting and dreadful times ahead as I was making my way to the end of my schooling journey.

Jayden and I didn't talk much since his party. On and off mainly.

We did catch up a few times when he was free. One day it was hot and I invited him over for a swim since I have a pool at my house.

I was super excited and could not stop thinking about how he would look without a T-shirt on.

As I said earlier puberty hit Jayden like a truck. Abs, jawline, everything was like it was chiseled by angels.

Each year he kept getting hotter and hotter as we both got older.

I hear a knock at the door as I throw one of my over the top bikini dresses on.

I answer to see a tall, handsome, gorgeous man in front of me. I can't help myself but smile.

"Hello Jayden, come in" I say as I follow him out the back to the pool.

I take off my dress to put some sunscreen on. I secretly glance over at Jayden to see if he was looking at me but no as per usual even a bikini can't impress.

I finish putting on my sunscreen and hand it over to Jayden.

"You need some" I ask him.

"Thanks" he replied as he puts it down and reaches for his T-shirt.

Here we go Georgie try not to embarrass yourself it's only a body remember.

He lifts his T-shirt over his head to reveal the holy grail of abs.

Holy shit I'm going to die. Fucking hell Georgie don't blush and don't make it obvious.

I look away not making it obvious that I am drooling over the site that is Jayden.

We get in the water and just float around for a while.

"Looking forward to going back to school" I look towards Jayden trying to make conversation.

"No haha, I mean I guess so, its the same every year you know" he replies as he swims over to get the basketball hoop.

"Yeah me too" i say. I glance over to him. "You will need a basketball for that, we have one in the pool box" I point over the the box leaning against the wall of the house.

He pulls himself up to the edge of the pool and hops out.

I can't help but stare at him in awe. Man Georgie how have you not got your hands on that yet. It's so perfect.

My mind wanders as I stare off into the distance. I daydream a lot it's kind of my specialty.

"Georgie, Georgie" a little voice comes into my head as I snap back to reality to see Jayden waving his hand in front of my face.

"Are you ok?" He says as a look at me concerned.

"Yeah yeah! All good just daydreaming you know haha" I try to cover up the fact that I had been thinking about his gorgeous features.

"Wanna play ball" he asks holding the ball in his hand.

"Sure let's do it be prepared to be crushed" I confidently boast.

"Yeah right" he replies cocky as usual.

He goes to hand me the ball but tricks me and goes for goal.

"And the crowd goes wild! Jayden shoots another goal for the cavaliers!" He shouts as he throws his hands in the air.

The Cleveland Cavaliers was Jayden's favourite NBA team. He loved the game too much not to watch it.

"Yeah yeah ok smart ass" I sarcastically say to him as I roll my eyes.

"You can't beat me, see I'm too good" he states in his cocky voice again.

"Yeah ok let's see" I say as I leap onto him and pry the ball out of his hand.

I swim towards the hoop quickly trying to get away from him. But sure enough he wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me back. He grabs the ball from my hands.

"Hey that's not fair" I say as I try to chase him down again. By that time he had already shot again and 'dunked' the ball.

"SLAM DUNKKKK" he shouts as he throws his hands up in the air and points at me.

"Ok ok one more round" I say as we get into position.

All of a sudden he ducks around me, I quickly turn around and grab him by the waist. He turns around trying to get out of my grip as I try to get the ball.

He puts his hand up and places them on my waist to push me back instead we both just stop and look at each other.

I couldn't stop from looking into his beautiful blue eyes. With his wet messy hair.

We inched closed together butterflies started to form again, I like moments like this. We keep staring intensely into each others eyes.

Instead he doesn't kiss me, he pushes me back grabs the ball and shoots it into the hoop.

"Yesss now that is how you get it" he looks at me with the biggest smirk on his face.

"Oh my god! Damn you!" I shout back to him as I get my hands and spray him with water.

"Oh no you did not just do that" he replies. he looks at me as he sprays water back.

"Oh it's on" I shout as we spray water back and forth in a water fight.

I start laughing hysterically as we spray each out with water.

"Ok time out" I say as I put my hands up in a T.

As we stop. Time seem to slow down too. We stand there in silence just looking up at each other every so often.

"I better head home it's getting late, mum will kill me if I'm not home in time for dinner" Jayden says as he starts getting out of the pool.

I follow out behind him and get my towel. He shouts goodbye to my parents as we walk along the side of the house to the gate.

"Well I guess I'll see ya" he says to me as he opens his arms initiating a hug.

"Bye" I say softly as I wrap my arms around his waist and pull him into a hug.

Hugging him feels like nothing I've ever felt in this world. It's like magic and I never want to leave his grasp.

He pulls away.

"I'll text you" he says as he waves and walks back over to his house.

"Mmm mm mm" I hum a happy tune as I happily skip inside. So infatuated with the day we have just had.

"You look happy" mum comments on my mood as I walk in the kitchen.

"It was amazing mum, he is amazing"
