Hidden Feelings

I heard small clicks, one by one, coming at my window. Click, click, click, click. I dragged my self out of bed and looked at the window; small pebbles came hitting it one by one. I ran my fingers through my blonde hair and made sure not to wake up Derrick, but then remembered that he wasn't here anymore.

The stars shone through the window, they were bright, but not as bright as some nights you can see them. I stopped thinking about stars and though about who the hell woke me up at 1:30 am. I opened my window and looked down, Isabel stood there crossing her arms. "Took you long enough Surfer Boy, let's go" I wiped my eyes, pulled on a pair of pants and a shirt and jumped out the window, not asking questions. Luckily it wasn't far.

"What the hell do you want, what are you doing here" I asked, watching he walk towards her car. "Okay, well you know that secret I told you about, I want to show you" I stopped her but she insisted. "I want to, don't worry you're not making me" we got into her car and drove for a few hours, I woke up and checked my watch, it was 3 am.

"Come on Bradin, let's go" Isabel went around, opened the door and practically pulled me out of the car. We walked for a while, I was wide awake now and still wondered what she wanted and where the hell we were. "Iz, where are we" I finally asked after so much wondering. "You'll see now jump" I saw her jump a small wooden fence and I followed, scratching my arm on a tree. "Aah" I winced in pain; she put a finger to her lips and made me follow her.

We walked into a shed and I saw what I never thought I would. "Okay, so I seem like a surfer girl, but that's not the real me, come on get on" she pointed to a horse. Luckily I knew how to ride. Everything had been going so fast I didn't bother to ask questions or wonder what we were doing.

"Isabel, wha…what's going on?" She smiled. "I want to show you, that people aren't just what appear on the outside, but what they think about on the inside, I think the reason you can't surf is because of some deep hidden fear of something, and you don't want to tell me what. I know the accident was horrible and everything but the water is your life, and I thought surfing was mine, until I found this place. Since I am from Colorado always grew up around farms and so I accidentally found this walking once and asked who owned it, the person who did said they didn't want it and were shutting it down, and so I helped them out and now it's mine. No one knows about it but they feed the animals, and I come and help out every other day, or every few days, its my way of going home my way of relaxing, my way of escaping" Isabel jumped on her horse and motioned for me to follow, I did.

We ran down a small, dark trail for a while and finally got to an opening. She tied up her horse and jumped off. "Oh by the way, this is Candy and that's Annabelle, Candy came from her color, I thought it looked like a caramel candy, don't ask" she laughed, and I didn't name Annabelle" I nodded, stroking Annabelle's mane. Walking only a minute or so I felt her come up behind me and put a blindfold over my eyes, "What the…" she shushed me, "Shut up Bradin, it's a surprise but you can't talk, for a while, just trust me I'll lead you" she led me over a fence, jumped it, and then made me stand still. She positioned me a certain way, moving me around with her hands, and then untied the blind fold.

"Wow" I sighed. It was totally amazing. We looked like we were standing on like a lookout point, there was a small forest up ahead, after an about 60 foot drop, and above us were stars. I had never seen starts so bright and so many of them. A little to the left you could see the California beaches. "This is so amazing" she smiled. "Yeah, I couldn't believe it when I first found this, come here let me show you something else" I wanted to see, Isabel was so amazing and completely full of surprises.

We walked a little backwards, jumped over a small stream and then came to a deserted pool. She dropped her shorts, took off her shirt and jumped in, she was in a small red bikini. "So you coming or what" I shrugged, took off my shirts and shorts and jumped in behind her.

"Oh my god, this is absolutely amazing…you're absolutely amazing" I smiled at her and took her head, cupping it into my hands; I lifted her chin so she was looking up at me. "You're one very special girl Isabel White, and I have fallen hard for you, I can't hide these feelings anymore, friendship with you is hard I care about you so much and I want to be with you and…" she stopped me by placing her lips over mine, hard, kissing me.

At first I was surprised, but then got into it and kissed her back. Her hands rested on my shoulders, one of mine was in her hair and the other was on her back. I slowly pushed her up against the wall of the pool and started down, kissing her neck. She sighed, letting her hands drop from my shoulders down my body. Her touch opened up every sense in my body, everything that was telling me we shouldn't be doing this was numbed.

I ran my hands up her small, skinny body and reached for the buckle on her top. Not thinking about what I was doing I started playing with it and before it became undone she pulled away and looked up at me. Her eyes were glowing under the starlight, and her breaths becoming short and quick. I didn't know what sense it was that was driving me to do this, but it felt amazing. Isabel had become a friend, and from friend to a girl I could stand up and say I was completely in love with.

Everything about her was amazing and I was ready for this, was she? She pulled away, trying to calm down her breathing she jumped out of the pool and sat on the edge, I knew she would get mad now, she'd say I was forcing her and she wouldn't want to ever see me again. Great. I ruined the only thing I had good with Isabel.

"Bradin…" I interrupted. "I'm sorry Iz, I didn't want to push anything" she stopped me. "No, no, it's not that, just have a few questions, before we jump into anything" I nodded, swallowing, still trying to calm down my own breathing. "Are you…are you a virgin" I cringed, knowing this would come up; I still wasn't ready to answer it. She must have seen so she laughed a little and sighed. "I'm sorry, you don't have to answer that I just thought, I just thought that I could ask before this night ended up somewhere where we would later regret" it was my turn to interrupt.

"Izzy, I would never regret being with you, unless you didn't want to I mean, but No, I'm not" her eyes grew wide, she seemed surprised. "Really, who was she" I wanted to forget Sarah; she was not one of my fond memories. "Someone that means absolutely nothing to me anymore, she ended up being crazy, literally, and is now in a boarding school but can we not talk about her" she nodded. Jumping back into the pool she kissed me.

"It doesn't matter to me anyways, but just letting you know that I still am, and you are really special to me" my whole body was dancing. Isabel was sure, sure like I had never seen her before. This time, our kisses weren't gentle; instead she pushed me up against the side, stuck her tongue into my mouth and kissed me hard. She was absolutely amazing and I loved every moment of being with her.

We kissed for a while and I gave up on trying to get anywhere, I loved Isabel and I didn't want her hurt, but her hands slowly started traveling down my side and she caught the edges of my shorts. Little by little, she let them drop to the bottom of the pool. I stepped out of them and helped her unbuckle her bikini. We were both breathing hard, standing in front of each other, locking eyes for a second. "You sure you want to do this here, and old deserted pool isn't exactly romantic" she nodded and looked up. "No, but that is" I looked up and saw the moon, and the stars surrounded it, looked like they were protecting it.

"You'll always be my moon, and I'll be your stars" she totally relaxed in my arms. "I'll always protect you Isabel…" she kissed me again, a long kiss. We were both tired and she looked like she was maybe hurt and needed a break. "I'm sorry, I didn't want to hurt you, but you're so tiny Iz" she smiled. "It was absolutely amazing, you're amazing, and I'm not hurt, I love you Bradin" I smiled and pulled her out of the water. We dried off and headed for the long ride home.

It was around 6:30 am when we got home. It actually wasn't as long as I thought, but I was totally worn out. I slipped into bed after drying my hair, erasing all evidence of where I was. I knew what we did was wrong, and that we couldn't tell anyone, but it was special to me, Isabel, this night and everything. I knew I'd be waking up at around 12 or 1 in the afternoon, but it didn't matter. Isabel and me were finally united as one, and we both admitted, our feelings about each other we absolutely genuine.

NOTE: okay, sicne I didn't go into it, I'll ask you guys what you want…did Bradin and Isabel sleep together..YES or NO…tell me what you wanntt!
