My P.O.V.
Over my sixteen years of life I've only ever loved one person, my best friend Pein. Now I know that everyone says that they love their childhood friend, and I defiantly do. I've known Pein since I was in diapers, because our parents are the best of friends. He is one of the nicest, most wonderful people I know. And the best thing is? A lot of people think we're dating and I would love to make that rumor true, but I don't think he feels the same and I don't have enough courage to ask him anyway.
I mean, we go almost everywhere together and he's always so touchy and protective of me. One time we were walking down the halls of our high school and this upper-class man grabbed my butt, in less than a second Pein turned around and had the guy pinned against the wall. It took three teachers and me to calm him down and stop him from beating the snot out of the guy. Although I was very flattered, I was more concerned about Pein and what the principle would do. Luckily, the principle only punished the other guy, and Pein only got a pat on the back. The principle said I was lucky to have a guy like Pein protecting me that made us both blush and turn away. Sadly nothing really major happened between us after that, we've kind of been the same.
But I know that my feelings have only grown stronger for him since that day, I could only hope that he thinks of me as more than a friend.
Pein's P.O.V.
Here I am sitting in my room thinking of ways to ask my best friend to go on a date with me, but every time I try I just chicken out. I've been in love with my best friend Montana ever since I saw her, and we've been friends since we were in diapers. I look over on my desk and see a picture of me and Montana on our first day of high school, we are hugging each other tight almost like we don't want to let go. My chin was resting on top of her head and her head was resting against my chest. We looked like a real couple in this photo, and I wish that were true. I'm just afraid that I'll get rejected and that would ruin our friendship.
Suddenly an idea pops into my head; I pick up my cell and dial my other friend, Deidara. After a couple rings he picks up.
"What do you want Pein, don't you know that some people have actual girlfriends that they want to spend time with?" He said angrily into the phone.
"Just shut up and listen to me, please." He stopped yelling into the head piece and listened. "Now I have a great idea on how to get Montana to go out with me. I'm going to need your girlfriend Rachel's help too."
"Ok your on speaker phone, so we can both hear you." He said, sounding far away.
"Ok, now here's the plan…"
My P.O.V.
So here I am, another Friday during summer and I'm bored and alone. All of my friends are either busy or I can't reach them. All of a sudden my phone goes off; I answer it in less than a heartbeat.
"Hello?"
"Hey Montie!" A deep baritone voice says into the phone. That voice makes my knees turn into jelly.
"Hey Pein!" I say excitedly.
"So are you doing anything later tonight?" He asked quietly.
My heart stopped for a second, was this really the moment I've been waiting for? I must have been silent for too long because he said my name again.
"Montana?"
"Umm, no I'm not doing anything later, why?" I said a little too breathlessly.
"Because I was hoping you could go the water park with me, Deidara, and Rachel." My heart sank.
I pretended to think about it a couple of seconds. "Sure I'd love to go with you to the water park." I said trying to sound happy.
"Great! I'll pick you up at about six." He said sounding really happy.
"I'll be ready!" Then we hung up.
I dropped the phone onto the couch and walked slowly to my room. I paused to look at my windows. I can't tell you how many times Pein has snuck through those windows to spend the night with me playing games and just talking while my parents were away somewhere. That thought made me smile, and then a thought struck me.
Well if Pein doesn't like me like I like him, then I'll show him what he's missing. I stomped over to my dresser, opening it I brought out my new swimsuit. It was a small bikini; it was green with white polka dots. I only bought it a week ago on an impulse. I recently lost a lot of weight, so I thought it would be good to get a bikini, seeing as I don't own one. The only problem is that I have to find a suit that big enough to support my large chest, which is a bigger problem that=n I thought it was going to be.
I looked over at my clock and saw that it was five thirty. I ran out of my room and into the bathroom to change. After I was done I looked at myself and thought, damn I look good. Watch out Pein because you're not going to know what hit you.
I was walking back into my room to grab a cover up when the doorbell rang. I jerked my head up; of course he would be early we live like two houses away from each other. I pull the cover up over my head and race over to the front door.
I opened the door only to be greeted by the best sight I could have asked for. There stood Pein in nothing but black swim trunks and an unbuttoned white shirt. I tried not to stare, but damn this boy has got muscles. His abs are showing and I'm trying not to drool, and I can see his v-line leading into his trunks. I could feel my face heating up like a tomatoe. I could see the glint of all his piercings shinning in the sunlight.
"Hi Montie!" He says his nickname for me enthusiastically. He reaches over and pulls me into a hugs. I don't know why but every time we hug, he hugs me like it's the last hug he'll ever get.
"Hey Pein." I said while hugging him back, tightly. He slowly lets me go and walks in. "Why are you so early?" It only about five forty.
"Well I got bored and no one's home because my parents are on a trip. So I thought I could watch T.V. at your house until it was time to go." He said while walking to the refrigerator, I followed him.
"My parents are gone too." I said looking at the floor, trying not to look at his body. I heard him shuffle stuff in the cabinets and I looked up. He had his arms full of all my snacks. "Hey don't eat all of my treats!"
"Come on Montie, you know I don't have any food at my house. Plus your cooking is so much better than my mom's and all that other stuff."
"No, the only reason you have no food is that you ate it all and are too lazy to go get more." I giggled at the face he made, because he knew I was right. His shoulders slumped and he hung his head, then he started to put everything back.
After he put all the food back he shuffled over to the couch and sat down. I sighed, I could never stay mad at him, and he's just too cute. I grabbed a bag of chips and sat down next to him. I put the chips on his lap and gently touched his shoulder.
"I'm sorry," he said quietly. I almost didn't hear him.
"It's ok, I don't really care. I was just messing with you." I ruffled his hair. "Now what do you want to drink?" I asked while getting up. I heard a rustling behind me and I felt his hand on my wrist. I slowly turned around to face him; he was at least a foot taller than me so I had to crane my head back to look into his face. His large hand was warm wrapped around my smaller wrist.
His other hand grasped my chin, and he leaned in closer to my face. I squeezed my eyes closed and held my breath. It felt like forever until I felt his breath n my cheek. Then he pressed his lips against my cheek and all too soon he let me go. He walked away from me and into the kitchen. I just stared after him with my hand on my cheek, where I could still feel his warm breath there.
I looked over to the clock sitting on the end table, it read six ten.
"Ummmm, Pein." I said quietly.
"Yeah?" He sounded as breathless as I felt.
"It's past six, did you want to leave and go pick up Rachel and Dei?"
"We probably should go, but we're not picking them up. We're going to meet them there."
"Ok, then just let me grab a towel." I said walking past the kitchen and into the laundry room. Walking back into the living room with my towel in hand, I saw Pein standing be the door with my purse in his hand.
"I still don't understand how you can put all your stuff into this tiny bag."
"A good magician never reveals her secrets." I said while putting on my flip flops.
"Come on Montie! I won't tell! Please."
"Nope, now go start the car." I said as I was making sure everything was turned off and I locked the door.
"Yes ma'am." He saluted me and walked down the stairs. As he walked down the first step I kicked him in the butt and jumped down the stairs and ran to his big truck. I heard him shout behind me and heard his foot falls on the pavement. I reached the truck but only to find that it was locked. A hand rested itself on my shoulder.
"Do you have anything to say for yourself, little girl?" Hearing that I spun around and hit his unsuspecting stomach, but he didn't even flinch. I looked down and saw that he had my hand caught in one of his. He slowly leaned down until his mouth was right next to my ear. I could feel his hot breath down my neck and it made a shiver run down my spine.
"That wasn't a good idea Montana. Don't do that again or you might not like the consequences." I heard the truck's door unlock. "Now get in, we don't want to be late." As I climbed in Pein's hand slapped my butt.
"Hey!"
"What? You must be imagining things Montie." He said as he climbed in to his side and stared up the car. We both clicked our seat belts into place and then we were off.
