7 Summers

Chapter 10: First Dates

Bailey's POV

We were back in my hometown, and I was getting ready for work. Jonah was back and I was pretty excited to see him.

"I haven't seen Jonah in forever. Please let me come?" Chase begs, sticking out his bottom lip and sliding his hands into the back pockets of my shorts gripping my ass.

"Fine. But you better not forget about me. I know how close you two can get." I smiled up at him.

"I could never forget about my baby." He kisses my neck, moving up to my cheek. "Ready to go? Jeff set aside a dozen donuts for everyone at the shop today." I said. 

"I'll grab that, and you head over to the shop."

"You just want to surprise your little buddy." I rolled my eyes.

"A little." He chuckles. Chase and Jonah were really close, they basically had a bromance.

************************

"Bailey!"

"Jonah!" I smiled, hugging him. 

"I miss you!"

"And he's missed a lot." Jordan snickers. I shot him a look to shut up. Chase came through the door, and Jonah went running past me, knocking me off my feet from pushing me out of the way. I landed in Jordan's lap who laughed, burring his head into my shoulder, then helping me up.

"Thanks, Jonah."

"Hey Darlin." Chase smiles, coming over and kissing my forehead.

"Darlin?" Jonah glared at Chase.

"Relax, J. He ain't gonna hurt me." I smiled, opening the box of donuts and went to hand one to Chase. 

"Better not. Blaney's lucky he ain't been in town, I'd personally kick his ass." He huffs. "Does he know?" 

"Nope." Jordan chuckles. 

"Why are you goin out of your way to be an ass this mornin?" I scolded, lightly smacking the back of his head. 

"Ow." Jordan glares at me.

"Shouldn't have been an ass." I snorted. Chase puts his hand on my lower back. The door opened and we had our first customer. 

"Showtime." Chase says, smacking my ass. I giggled and walked into the main area.

***************************************
"Heyyyy." Chase wraps his arms around my waist as I was leaning against the front end of someone's car, working on the oil change.

"Hey." Chase brings his lower half to mine.

"What are you doing?" I giggled.

"Nothing." He smirks against my neck.

"Chase." I warned. Chase chuckled, and began kissing my neck, nipping lightly. "I have to finish this." I smiled, trying to focus which wasn't working very well.

"I can wait right here."

"Babe, please."

"I like that nickname." He lightly licks my neck, and it took everything I had not to completely lose all self control. "You're quiet." Chase knew he won that battle. "Somethin distractin you?"

"Nope." I swallowed, trying to regain all composure. Chase just laughs, taking my hand and leading me out of the shop.

"Chase-"

"You were closed anyway." He waves it off, taking me back to my house and telling me to dress nice, but not fancy. I did as I was told, showered, got dressed, cut off shorts and a white t-shirt, and put on light makeup.

"Look at you." Chase smiles, kissing my cheek. 

"So where are we going?" I asked.

"Wear comfortable shoes you can take off." He says. I shrugged and put on flip flops, and followed Chase to his truck.

"Don't look in the back." He says, as we start driving. He was taking me somewhere into the woods, and I really had no idea what was going on. Chase pulled up beside the lake, and got out, leaving the car radio on. The sun was close to setting and he begins stripping down.

"What are you doing, crazy?" I laughed.

"We're going swimming." He says. Chase had his shirt off and was in just his boxers. He dived into the water, then waited for me.

"Chase! Remember what happened the....OH!" I realized what he was trying to do. The first time me and Ryan had a fight, Chase took me to the lake and we swam around in the water.

"Yeah?" Chase smiles. I giggled, taking off my shirt. I kept my shorts on and slipped off my flip flops and ran into the water. I squealed as the small waves hit my ankles. It was cold.

"Bailey, come on!" He groans, picking me up and flat out dropping me into the water. I came back up and glared at him.

"If you didn't want you're shorts to get wet you should have taken them off." He shrugs. I thought he was crazy.

"You dropped me!" I laughed.

"You're fine, big baby." He says, swimming next to me. I dived under the water, cooling off completely. I came back up and Chase wraps my legs around his waist. I layed my head on his bare chest as we talked and treaded in the water.

"The sun looks really pretty." I smiled, looking across the lake to see the sun disappearing behind the trees.

"So do you." Chase says softly. I looked up at him, and smiled. Chase leans in, giving me a look, asking if it's okay. I grinned, his eyes lit up. He slams his lips onto mine, then softens it. His hand was gripping my ass, but I liked it.

"Wow." I giggled.
***************************************
Chase laid on the bed of the truck, where he had pillows and blankets laid out, wearing just his pants. I had on his T-shirt, after my normal clothes had dried off.

"Tonight was fun, huh?" He smirks at me as I climbed up and layed down next to him.

"Mhm." I hummed, kissing his lips.

"Should we stay here? Sleep under the stars? Away from everyone?" Chase asks, drawing lazy designs on my stomach.

"I would love that." I smiled, placing a kiss on his jaw.

"I like it when you do that." He smiles.

"Do what? This?" I giggled, kissing his jawline all the way to just underneath his ear. I moved down to his neck, kissing, nipping, and lightly licking. Chase's fingers dug into my hips, as he swallowed a moan. I put my hand on his cheek, giggling.

"What's so funny?" He pouts.

"You." I smiled, kissing him lightly and pulling away, and laid down., facing away from him.

"Nuh-uh. We are not being mysterious." Chase straddles me and pins my wrists above my head. He kisses me over and over, then moves his hands to both sides of my head holding himself up. I ran my fingers through his hair, and on the back of his neck. He pulls away and we're both panting. Chase pressed his forehead to mine, smiling down at us.

"You look pretty damn proud of yourself." I giggled.

"I am. I ended up with the girl I've wanted since I was 15 years old."

"9 years?"

"I would wait until the day I died to be with you." He says, kissing me. I hugged him, and we fell asleep with him on top of me.
