Chapter 6

Melissa's POV

"I will show you how," he said.

Jake came behind me and showed me how to pass the ball. He told me to have my shoulder width apart, have my knees bent and my butt out, while my back is straight. He took my hands in his, helped me to make a fist with one hand, and clasped the other over it. He told me it's called the platform. It felt so good, so warm in his arms that I wasn't really paying attention to what he was teaching me. He then takes my hand and we head over to the area of where the volleyball net was set up. It felt so natural to have my hand in his. We didn't let go of each other until it was time to play.

I was embarrassed because I didn't have the right attire on. Jake put his hand on my cheek and said, "You look fine to me, and what you have on will be okay to play in, "he said as if he could read my mind.

I don't know why but I trust Jake on this. Everyone got into their places. The girls on one side, the boys on the other side, the teams are as follows: The boys team, Chris, Embry, Sam, Jared, Cole, Paul, and Jake. The girls team, Leah, Layla, Emily, Kim, Jessica, Angela, and me. Quil decided to sit out while Seth was going to be the referee. We took a coin to see who was going to serve first. We picked tails the boys picked heads. We won. Both teams picked our captains. We picked Leah and the boys picked Chris. I should've known. Seth explains the rules to everyone and we begin. Leah served first and hit the ball right over the net. The boys missed the ball just to let us score one. Score 1 Girls 0 Boys. It was still the girls turn so, Layla serve next and hit the ball over the next. But when it was Angela turned to serve she didn't hit it over the net.

Next, it was Chris turn to serve, he serve the ball high and hit it over the net. I know he knows how to. We volleyed the ball back and forth, as that happened the ball went over the net to our side, but digging didn't help us. The girls and I were trying to hit and set it back, but it touched the ground. We weren't in the dig position correctly. The boys scored. "Yeah" all the boys said. Leah looked mad and proud at Chris. I wonder why. The game continued with volley the ball back and forth. The score now 13 G 13 B. We called our last time out. We devised a plan to render the boys helpless so we could score. By teasing them, just a little bit. It was Angela time to serve she faked that she twisted her ankle. As she told us, Paul would come running over to see if she was okay, forgetting about the game. Next, we decided it was just too hot for some of us. One of the girls took off their shirt, who had sports bra on to distract the guys. The boys were distracted at each play because every time a girl actually lifted their shirt up, the boys stopped in their tracks, and missed their turn to score. The boys already had their tops off and "Hot in Here" by Nelly was playing on the stereo, it seems to fit what was going on. This is the last play and it was up to me to win for the girls. I served the ball in the air, and hit the ball just before they could catch it I faked a "I hurt my leg act" and Jake came over to me with the rest of the guys and the ball fell to the ground. We cheered. Quil laughed saying you all just got tricked by girls. The guys looked at Quil with a look that meant shut up. "We're sorry," all the girls said with a pout. I got off the ground and said, "Never underestimate a girl," to Jake. The boys turned around and gave us the look that said no teasing when you play and the girls and I just burst out laughing. The guys started chasing us around the beach. Jake especially wanted to chase me. I didn't mind at all. I had nowhere to go, but the ocean. Once in the water, I realized I don't have a change of clothes. So I stomped out of the water.

"Mellie, wait up," Jake said, running after me.

I turned around to see Jake right beside me. "Mellie," I said, raising an eyebrow.

"What's wrong with that name? Jake asked, with amusement on his face.

I was speechless. I tried to open my mouth to speak but nothing happened. While deep in thought, Jake spoke up instead. "I think it fits you well. You are beautiful and you are sweet like melons. You remind me of melons. I love melons." He said. I blushed at those comments. Damn the blushing, I need to stop.

"I need to go home and change." I said.

"No, don't go." Jake said urgently.

"I have an extra shirt you can wear." Jake said.

"Thanks." I said. He really didn't want me to go.

He pulled out the shirt and gave it to me. The shirt smell like pine trees and forest, and I pulled off my shirt and pulled his own, while he turned around to give me privacy like the gentleman he is. I loved the smell on his shirt. It smells like him. He isn't going to get this shirt back ever, if I can help it.

"Let's go to the bonfire, it is starting" Jake said.

We made it to the bonfire. Everyone was seated already. Everyone was nice to me and made me feel like I belonged here. Even Sam was more relaxed for a change. Chris was enjoying himself with Leah, while Max and Claire were in there own little world. After hours of getting know each other some more. I started to yawn.

Jake asked me, "Can I take you and Max home?"

"Sure, cause it looks like Angela is going to stay longer than I can." I said.

We got up, said goodbye to everyone, and walked to his house and I saw his Volkswagen Beetle sitting there. He opened the door and I got inside. I told him directions to my house. He asked me simple questions like.

"How do you like it here?"

"What's my favorite color, food, and pet?"

I answer all of them. He told me his favorites also. We arrived at my house in no time flat. We got out the car. As we were walking to the door, Jake grabbed me by the hand and said, "Do you want to go out on the date?"

I said, "Sure, I would love to"

"I had a great time with you all today. I hope to do that again."

"How about our date be on this Saturday."

"Works for me," I said.

"It was nice to meet you, Mellie" he said, and he kissed me on my lips. With so much passion, I was so surprise by the kiss. Without thinking, I started to kiss back with as much passion as I had in me. His kiss has so much love and tenderness it in. I don't want it to stop. We pulled apart and Jake touched my cheek.

"I am not sorry for kissing you Mellie and I hope you are not" Jake said confidently.

I was speechless. That's not me at all. But that kiss blew my mind, no words can really describe how amazing it was. I don't let anyone just kiss me or touch me. Not since Jeremiah. But deep inside I feel this was right. Jake brought of me out my thoughts.

"And I will see you Saturday, for our date." Jake said smiling.

He stood there until I went into the house since Max was already in the house, went up to my room, and thought about my day with Jake and his friends who are now my friends. Especially how Jake held my hand and the way his lips felt on mine. How right this is.
