Curveball

Chapter 10

"Hahaha that freaking hilarious how did you pull that off without Carter or Cameron knowing.

Gavin shrugs laughing. "I had my other friend Blake helping and he loves to pull pranks on Carter he's the easiest target. Cameron was just collateral damage." I giggle thinking about Gavin and Blake scheming to dump buckets of ice water on Carter and Cameron in the middle of the locker room as a bet.

"Who would've thought you could be a little trouble maker." I am sitting across from Gavin at this point our faces directly aligned for one another. My breath picks up as he says the next thing.

"Oh, I'm a trouble maker all right." He bites his lip and I shift my gaze to his lip currently shoved between his teeth is very straight teeth. I can't help but wonder if they are as soft as they look.

He leans forward some, almost reading my thoughts. I've never been kissed before so when he gently brushes his lips against mine, my breath catches and I don't know what to do.

It doesn't take long for me to finger it out as I slowly kiss him back, his hands find their way into my hair pulling me closer. All this is so new to me seeing as I've never had a boyfriend before and when he pulls me on top of his lap, I adjust my position so we are sitting where my core touches his crotch and I notice a very big bulge grinding into me.

Kissing him back harder finally getting the hang of things, Gavin moans against my lips with one hand gripping my hair, while the other holds my hip against him.

Our tongues fight for dominance and before I can blink, I'm laying down on his bed with his on top. He pulls away long enough to trail hot kisses down my neck sucking gently.

My eyes roll into the back of my head at the arousing feeling and the way my core heats up as his hands trail down my leg, gripping my ass.

I let my hands travel from his neck, down his sculpted chest and under his shirt feeling every inch of his chest. The ridges of his abs become etched into my mind and I allow my hands to run up his shirt. At this point we are both breathing heavy lost in each other's kisses.

It's not long before Gavin's hand comes up under my shirt to cup my breast in his hand. My arousal spikes even more as he runs his thumb over the part just over my nipple causing it harden under his touch.

This feeling is all new and unfamiliar territory and fear scorches its way through my system and I'm wrenching myself out of Gavin's grasp, trying to catch my breath.

Sitting there trembling, ready to cry I can't meet his gaze knowing I'll probably find he's pissed off and ready to tell me to get out for being a tease. I mean c'mon he's captain for the baseball team for gods sakes.

The bed dips and hands palm my cheeks and my face is brought up to meet his concerned eyes.

"Sarah talk to me, breathe its okay beautiful." His words soothe me but then guilt overrides it thinking I turned him on and pulled away

"Gavin, I'm so sorry I wasn't trying to be a tease. I've never done that before and it just scared me." I turn my daze down. He stops me though and brings me up to face him.

"You don't ever have to apologize to me Sarah, I won't lie and say that wasn't the sexiest thing I've ever experienced because that would be a lie. If you hadn't of told me I would've never known that was your first time doing that. I mean that kiss was out of this world." My cheeks flared up at his comment and I wanted the ground to swallow me whole.

"Gavin you don' t have to say that to make me feel better, I mean look at you." I gesture with my hand up and down his body. "I know you've had sex before so please don't try to make me feel better. I'm probably the only girl you haven't gone all the way with.

Shaking his head, I can see a hurt expression on his face.

"Is that really what you think? Sarah I've only had sex twice. One was the with the first girl I ever gave my heart to. Now looking back, I realize it was just puppy love since we were only 14 but still. The second was a girl I used to try and get over my first love. I'm not a man whore, I don't sleep with girls and dump them. In fact, counting this kiss I've only kissed one other girl freshman year and that was on a dare for spin the bottle." I grimace at that thought and he laughs scratching the back of his neck. "Yeah, not my proudest moment."

Taking a seat back down on his bed he comes over a kneels in front of me and takes my hands in his.

"I really want to take you on a date beautiful get to know you better, not the girl you hide behind. You're incredibly gorgeous and I wish you could see that. I've spent the last 4 years just looking at you and taking in every inch of what is amazing about you. Now I finally have the chance to make you mine so let me prove that I deserve it." Shock is all I can feel with his question.

"What about the project?" I mentally smack myself for being so nerdy when a guy, the hottest guy, at our school is on his knees in front of me asking me out. He chuckles.

"Sarah we are already further ahead than most of the class and we are only a couple weeks into school. The project will get done I promise just please will you go on a date with me?" All I see is vulnerability in his eyes and it's what has me answering is question.

"Yes." A smile lights up his eyes and he stands up pulling me in his arms twirling me around his room. Both of us laughing and falling onto his bed.

The rest of the night is spent downstairs with his parents and the chatter is light as we talk about school and Gavin's upcoming game. His mom Charlotte reminds me a lot of my mom as she too loves to cook and Garrett his dad is such a family man with how dedicated he is to attending his son's games. Its heartwarming to see them all together and I can't help but smile and think about my family.

His mom and dad takes turns asking me questions about what I want to do after high school and where I plan to go to college. I answer honestly wanting to be a English teacher despite my astronomy interests. I want to go to school locally so I can stay close to my parents and my little sister.

Gavin wants to go to school for either baseball or engineering to fall back on if the MLB doesn't work out. I love that he wants to pursue baseball. After seeing him at practice the other day he's an incredible player and he could make it big.

Sitting around laughing with his parents as they tell baby stories of Gavin, much to his embarrassment, I can't help but imagine spending more and more time with Gavin and his family. The thought makes me happy, but I refuse to get my hopes up. Gavin can have any girl, I'm nothing special and after this weekend's date he will realize that.

I assist his mom with clean up and wish Mr. Bryant a Happy Birthday once more before giving Charlotte, yes she insisted I call her by her first name, a hug and head outside towards his truck.

The drive is over all to soon, and Gavin walks me up to my front door.

"Thank you so much for agreeing to go on a date with me this weekend." Smiling up at him I can't help but laugh at him and his nerves. Its just me.

"Of course, though I warn you you'll regret it. I'm very boring you probably won't enjoy yourself."

"Not a chance, you're so far from boring and I don't care what I have to do to prove that to you pretty girl." He gives me a look of disbelief.

"Gavin, I'm just full warning you now, so you don't get your hopes up for a date with the magical girl and have false hope." I bite my lip not meeting his eyes.

"I wish you could see yourself through my eyes. Hopefully this weekend will change that. Goodnight pretty girl." He leans down to brush a kiss against my cheek.

"Goodnight Gavin I'll see you tomorrow." He squeezes my hand once more before heading towards his truck. I watch as he starts the engine but waits for me to go inside and shut the door before taking off.
