Chapter 10

We'll do it all
everything
on our own
we don't need
anything
or anyone

I stood on the lonely netball court outside the school, netball in my hand and having no idea why I was here.
I closed my eyes then slowly opened them, I saw 6 friends, 1 couple and 4 others wishing they were just that… a couple. All messing around in the netball court, late at night with no worries or trouble.
A boy and a girl with a romance, that no-one else knew about, wishing they could grab each other then and there. I felt the ball drop from my hands and roll along the court as the sounds of heels clipping brought me back down to earth.
The footsteps were slow and soft, I knew them. I knew them because I had heard them almost every night. I slowly looked through the darkness and saw her walking towards me, she bent down and picked up the ball finally walking out of the shadows.

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I slowly picked up the ball and looked at a gob smacked Ric, he stood so still I thought he might have died on the spot.
"What are you doing here?" he squeaked, I smiled to myself suddenly feeling confident about how scared he was.
"We never got that rematch. From when I hurt my ankle" I grinned
"You're in your heels!" He stated standing slowly at ease
"You could have used that to your advantage!" I laughed taking the heels of and throwing them to the ground, feeling the warm ground on my feet "How about we start with a sport you're actually good at?"
"I can play netball!" he jumped in defensively.
"Not very well! Come on, I challenged you to a game of basketball!" I winked as I made my way to the centre circle, as did he. I licked my lips and made sure I was inches away from his body.

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

She was so close I swore I could have felt her body heat; I copied her action and urged myself to go closer to her. I managed to get comfortable and wrap my arms defensively around the ball in her hands when my brain got the better of my well… other extremities and I opened my mouth.
"Wait!"
"What?" she questioned
"It wouldn't be a proper Aussie game if we didn't start it with a wager." I blurted out as she put one hand on her hip "First shot wins. If I win…you have to go skinny dipping off Jump Rock"
"And if I win?"
"You get to do whatever you want to me!" I suddenly realised how perverted it sounded but all of a sudden she out stretch her hand.
"Deal but on one condition. I f you win as well as the skinny dipping you can do what you want to me" she smiled, I found myself outstretching my hand and shaking hers in agreement. What had I let myself in for?

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

My second attempt at shooting didn't go to plan, and resulted in a foul to me. Ric stood at the shooting circle and I stood beside him, my feet aching from the stones and warm ground that I had inflicted on them
"It…" he started as he flung the ball it rolled round the rim of the hoop then went straight in "…must not be your night" he laughed, I bit my the side of my mouth.
"Okay, Michael Jordan what else do you have planned for me?"
"I have a few ideas" he smiled
-x-
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

I pushed her roughly against the metal fence of the cage and pinned her with my body.
She smiled seductively at me "Is that all you've got?" she whispered as I plunged my lips into hers, weeks of longing to kiss her lips came rushing back as I felt her hand wander down my front and towards the top of my board shorts.
I groaned as her hands began stroking me under my shorts, I let one of my hands down from her neck and ran it over her sleek body.
Her breasts, her stomach and down her thighs, I reached the bottom of her incredibly short skirt and let my hand wander up her thigh. She moaned and slowly let go of me as she began to realise that I was winning the war.
-x-
I felt a sharp feeling on the inside of my thighs and I slowly looked Ric in the eye, he smiled sweetly as I bit my bottom lip he plunged into me causing me to almost scream with pleasure.
I linked my hands through the fence and gripped hard, my eyes rolled back and I let out a scream before my whole body collapsed breathlessly on his shoulder.
I felt his arms wrap around me, they were warm and sweaty and he whispered in my ear.
"I love you"

"You know I didn't say I was to have a public audience!" I shouted from behind a bush as I let my shorts fall to the floor.
"You didn't say you hadn't" He shouted back as I heard Cassie and Belle laughed as they attempted to cover the bush with towels.
"Henry's feeling a bit uncomfortable, so your aloud to keep the bikini bottoms!" Luc shouted through laughter.
"How kind of you!" I muttered, I came out from behind the bush wiht my bikini on and walked towards the edge of the cliff. I begn undoing the bottom tie of my bikini strap and then the top letting it fall onto the rocks.
I sudennly felt a rush of cheekyness come over me and I tunred round topless and faced all my friends, my brother and my boyfriend. Henry immediatly turned awya and said:
"I'm scarred for life! Belle we better be having sex afer this otherwise I won't be able to get them out of my head!" I laughed slighlty then said sweetly to Luc and Ric who were staring at me with gaping mouths.
"So should I jump out or straight down?" Cassie and Belle sniggered as Luc pointed out the way.
I walked to the edge of the cliff ,and took a deep breath.
I then remebered something that my mum used to say...'It's not about jumping to the other side, it's a about taking a leap and praying to god you leanr how to fly'. I had taken a leap the day I went to see Ric and at that moment I took the leap of faith that would decide whether I hit the rocks or I didn't.
