A/N: I only own the OC.

Thank you for reviewing! I am happy that you all like this story and I can write a person that isn't used much... and I wasn't a huge fan of Dash Wilder, but I have to admit that the man looks good.

We got up the next morning and got ready to go tubing. He grabbed us McDonald's for breakfast and drove us to the river. He seemed happy to be able to hang out with his friends. I was surprised at the amount of 'friends' had shown up for him to hang out with, but he was happy. I was glad to see a few other girls as we all grabbed our things. I was in a pastel blue and pink racerback lacy bikini set and some black water shorts. I had just finished pulling my cover off when I saw Dash looking at me with a devious smirk as I threw them back into the truck.

"You want me to have a problem all day don't you?" he teased and I smirked as he kissed me.

"Not on purpose, but I promise to fix it later." I said and he chuckled before he adjusted himself and we joined the rest of the group. We put in the river and were all linked together as we opened beers and started to enjoy the river.

"How long have you dated Dash?" a girl that had introduced herself as Jessica asked me.

"A couple of months... not real long." I said and she smiled.

"You two look happy... he actually looks happy when he is here this time." she said and I nodded.

"I guess he doesn't get to come home a lot with our schedules." I said and she shrugged.

"He comes home often, but it's usually his family that is assholes." she said and I wasn't really sure what to say to this. I knew that Dash was going to see his mom, but that's all I really knew.

"He also usually has to deal with his crazy ex." she said and I didn't know that. I didn't know his ex was around here.

"Oh, I didn't know he had one here still." I said and she chuckled.

"Yeah, we all went to high school together, and he even proposed to Amanda. They didn't work out when he told her he wanted to be a wrestler full time. She went crazy and tried to make everyone believe that he raped her." she said and I felt my eyes get huge.

"She sounds like a lovely person." I deadpanned and she laughed at me as she handed me a beer that someone had handed her for us. I thanked her as we opened them.

I was talking to her and a few other people while Dash held onto my leg and talked to others. He always made sure that I was nearby and I liked that. I did find out a lot about Dash and how he had grown up. He seemed happy, but I could see why he left. He had grown a lot since he had left. We made it to the end of the river and the trucks took us back up to where we had parked.

"You all coming to the cookout tonight?" Dash's friend Daniel asked us and I looked at Dash. He was giving me a questioning look and I nodded.

"Sure." he said as he kissed my forehead.

"Great, you can just follow me." he said and Dash helped me into the truck as we followed his friend through some mountain roads to come to a huge property that had mountains on one side and a field on the other. The house was a rustic log cabin and it was beautiful.

"I see why you like it here." I said and he chuckled.

"Are you sure you don't mind being here?" he asked me and I smirked.

"No, you invited me along and I know your friends are important." I said as he kissed me over the console before I put a tank top over my swimsuit and put on sneakers. He was in his trunks and a tank top with a hat on as his friends handed us more beers.

"You all are early." a woman said as she came out and hugged Daniel.

"Dash!" she said as she ran over and hugged him. He hugged her back and slowly put her down. I was watching them as I realized that something might have been between them.

"Yeah, we got done late." Daniel said as Dash continued to look at her.

"Hi, I'm Rachel." the girl said and stuck out her hand at me.

"Hi, I'm Leela, Dash's girlfriend." I said and she smiled at me.

"Sorry, Leela... Rachel and I go way back. I was friends with her before I was with Daniel." he said and I nodded with a skeptical smile.

"Yeah, well, if you hadn't of tried beating me up so much it wouldn't have been that way." Daniel quipped and we all laughed as Dash pulled him in a headlock. They wrestled for a second before Rachel pulled me with her to the patio.

"Ignore them." she said and I nodded as I sipped my beer.

"Are you and Daniel...?" I was asking as she started laughing.

"No, we are siblings... Dash is a good friend of the family. He was my first crush." she said and I nodded.

"You two dated?" I asked her and she shook her head no.

"No, I was too scared to ask him out, and he was always having to deal with family shit." she said and I nodded as the guys joined us. Dash sat next to me and put his arm around me. We were talking when Rachel needed help and Dash offered to help her. I watched them go as Daniel shook his head.

"He used to have the biggest crush on her, but you have caught his eye." he said as they walked inside. I gave a small smile as he looked at me.

"But you are gorgeous so it's not surprising." he said and I sipped my beer hoping that he wouldn't say anything else to make this anymore uncomfortable.

"It's a nice place you have here." I said as I stood up to look over the patio railing and I heard him shuffling behind me as he chuckled.

"Thanks. I have been trying to get him to move back, but no luck yet." he said as he leaned on the railing beside me. We talked a couple of minutes before I asked where the bathroom was at; he wasn't being creepy, but I really had to pee. He walked in to show me and we both saw Dash and Rachel kissing in the kitchen. He gasped and I gripped my beer bottle so hard that it cracked.

"Shit." Dash said as he jumped away from her. Rachel looked mortified as she looked at us.

"Leela... I'm so sorry. I know you are dating, but I couldn't help it." she said as she came towards me. I balled up my fist and punched her right in the jaw. She screamed and fell over as I turned towards Dash. He had made me feel absolutely stupid right now.

"Do taxi's come out this far?" I asked Daniel who was standing there stunned.

"I can take you back." he said and Dash shook his head. He grabbed my hand and pulled me from the house. He pushed me in the truck and we left quickly in silence. We remained silent until we got to the house he had rented.
