"Why the fuck are you always at my house?" I screamed in frustration, climbing out of the pool to encase a towel around my body. It'd been a day since the episode at Liam's home and honestly, I needed to decompress. Since it was Sunday I thought I'd sit in the shallow end of our pool since, you know - your girl was seventeen and couldn't swim, or maybe lounge in the sun - but of course, Jeremy fucking Dawson had to ruin everything.
He was probably the most infuriating person on the soccer team. As I must've mentioned before, he played the position of defending midfielder. He was the laziest person out of the rest of the players, wanting nothing more than to be benched but Dad refused since apparently, he had potential. My guess was that the real reason was that Dad loved the position so much and didn't want to give it to just anybody.
Since Jeremy was best friends with Christian, he was perpetually over and it bothered me. If he had maybe been a more likeable person, I would've been able to endure him. But he wasn't.
"Chill out, Charles," he tormented, brandishing the water gun he had as his blue eyes glittered with amusement. My brothers were loafing on a sun lounge, paying no attention to the fact that their friend was vexing me.
Originally, I was going to invite Nolan over but I resolved to let him spend the day with Sabrina. Liam was still reluctant about their slowly forming relationship but with some good guidance from me, he decided to trust my best friend. But without Nolan there, Jeremy was merciless with his teasing.
I cried, "I will murder you, Jeremy!"
Running a hand through the long black hair on his head, he chuckled at my distress, elevating his gun and spraying me with more water. I shrieked as it hit me at full force, causing me to drop my towel into the water. "You look like you needed to cool off."
"Jeremy!" I screeched, lurching for him and knocking him onto his back. Straddling his chest, I attempted strangling him but he rolled me over. Now, the position might've looked sexual but Jeremy saw me as a brother - literally. Which was why he had no difficulty with punching me. "Get your vagina out of my face!" I yelled and pushed him off.
"Your dick is poking my ribs!" He shot back, finally getting the upper hand on me and pinning me to the ground, his knee pushed against my throat. My breath caught in my throat as he applied more force and I felt like I was going to pass out."Any last words, Charleston?"
"Why are you always trying to kill my daughter?" A rough voice asked and I smirked internally, grasping that my dad was glaring at Jeremy from his place on the back porch. "Release her before I decide not to bench you for another three months."
