In the morning from the first day of the games events.
I groan a little as I wake up. I've got a little headache, it might be from yesterday. I push myself up on my elbow. I yawn once and push myself more up so I can open the tent. I look outside and inhale deeply. The morning air is amazing here. I smile as I'm enjoying the air. I hear barking. Then I see Bella running to the woods, Rosco is following her. I didn't pay much attention to it. I've got no clue what time it is. When I step out of the tent and look at the house. I see Britney standing on the porch. "Beebee! Come back!" I inhale deeply again and walk to the house.
Britney sees me coming. She looks at me up and down. My goatee is itchy but I'm ignoring it. The rest of my jaw is stubbled. I don't feel like shaving. I scratch my jaw a little as I stand still next to Britney. "You look like a wild man, haven't you showered since we got here?" I look at her face. I lean in and she pulls her head away. I start to smile. "I didn't know you still care about me." She sighs. "Of course, I still care, you're my fiancé." Her expression tells me otherwise. "So, what happened with Beebee?" She snorts, shaking her head in disbelieve. "You made her wild. I keep standing by that."
I rub my face with both my hands. I look at the woods again as I think. "I tried to feed her the normal vegetables earlier. She didn't want any of it, then she snarled at me again, and ran outside." "Fine, I'll look for her, but first breakfast." I went inside and see mom making pancakes this time. I sit down and she looks at me with a smile. "Did you sleep well, son?" I grumble a little as I take a mug and fill it with coffee. "You're in a bad mood." I look at mom again and sigh. "I slept great, ma, I really did. It's just…" I gesture my head towards the door. Mom turns and takes a plate. I watch her when dad walks inside.
"Here you go, eat, you need it. Is your son awake?" "I'll check on them in a bit." Dad sits down and mom gives him a kiss. They smile at each other and I watch them while I eat. They love each other so much. They can't live without each other. I wish I had that kind of love. "You look like you've been living in the woods, son." I look at dad and chuckle. "Lose the goatee, it really doesn't fit you." I look at mom. "I don't feel like shaving right now." I take another bite. "Or shower." Britney says as she came inside. We look at her and she sits down. Pouting her lips as she chews on the inside of her cheek, like she wants to say something but is holding herself back to do so.
"It will be fine. He won't die from not showering every day." Mom says in defense. Dad inhales deeply and drinks his coffee while he looks at me. "You need help, pa?" "Maybe later, son, Jamaal is feeding the horses now." "Okay, I'll wake up my son and look for Beebee." I empty my cup and stand up. "Enjoy the day, it will be a wonderful day today." I see mom smiling. Then I realize it's the first game day. The whole family is coming today. Three days in a row doing games, and then the anniversary will be. "What time will everyone come today?" "Before lunch, the game is at three this afternoon and in the evening, we have a big barbeque again." Mom answers.
"Looking forward." Is all I say as I walk outside. Britney sighs annoyed. Mom and dad look at her. "What's the matter?" Britney looks at mom. "I don't know who Johnny is anymore." Dad takes another bite. "Honey, I don't want to kick you out of your dream, but the Johnny you're seeing now… is the one he always has been, he's changing back. The fame has changed him, and that's the Johnny you know, but not the one we know." Britney snorts, shaking her head. Dad stands up and gives mom a kiss, he went outside. Mom looks at Britney again. "If you want to stay in my son's life, you should start to accept the way he truly is… if you can't do that, then you don't belong to him."
Mom starts doing the dishes. They hear a car and after a few minutes the door is opening. "Ma, are you in for a spa treat?" It's Franny as she walks inside. Mom looks at her and smiles. "No, sweetie, I need to prepare everything for lunch, for the game and for the barbeque." "But, ma, I've booked for two." Mom smiles and looks at Britney. "Take Britney with you. I think she would love to have a few hours at the spa." Franny looks at Britney who is standing up. "Will you? I don't get refunds." Britney starts to smile. "Oh god, yes! I could use a mani-pedi." Franny smiles a little. "Let's go then." Franny walks out. Britney quickly follows her. Mom is watching them through the window. "Thank god! Bless her little heart." Mom says out loud to herself.
I know that Rosco is showing Bella around. It's normal for him to walk all over town, but usually he is at the ranch. Just not this moment. I walk to the tent of the boys. I scratch on it and hear two groaning boys waking up. I chuckle a little. I'm really glad that my son is having a great time, and a friend here. "Wake up, boys, mawmaw will make breakfast, and the family will be here before lunch." The tent opens and I see Sean looking at me. He yawns and comes out of the tent. Bryan follows him. "You need a shower, son." Bryan looks at me and starts to laugh.
"You more than I do, dad." They walk to the house for breakfast. I look down at my chest and start to chuckle. I rub my chest and look up at the woods. I simply can't care about how I look anymore, nor that I stink. I should look in the woods for Bella, maybe Rosco has taken her to the creek. I walk to the path that leads into the woods. Been a long time I've walked into the woods. "Beebee!?" I look around while calling out her name. I keep on walking. I stand still at the crossroad of paths and close my eyes when I get a memory back.
I was seven and running after Franny. I didn't saw the stick and I tripped over it. It broke my knee. I remember how painful it was, but I wanted to be a tough boy and even though my sister wanted to help me, I told her I could walk myself. Of course, I couldn't walk, and I cried really hard when I tried to stand up. Franny had carried me back to the ranch on her back. I look to my right, then to my left and decide which way to go. Right is towards the creek and left towards town. I'm not sure which way to go, so I decided to have a first look at the creek. If Bella and Rosco aren't there, then I will be going to town and ask around. Rosco has his spots in town that he visits.
I went right and put my hands in my pockets while I listen to the sounds in the woods. It's so relaxing. In LA I never got the chance to get away and have a relaxing walk in silence. I close my eyes, lifting my face towards the sky while I inhale deeply. Just enjoying everything. Allowing myself to let that primal feeling inside get out. I've truly missed this. After minutes of walking, I hear footsteps. I stop walking and I look behind me. I start to smile when I see her approaching. Her hair is bouncing on every step she takes.
God, she's really beautiful in everything she does. She sees me and smiles. I put my hands back in my pockets and she stops running when she's next to me. "Good morning." She says with a smile. I give her a half grin. "Good morning, Baby." She giggles. "What are you doing here?" "I'm looking for Beebee and Rosco." I watch her stretch a little. I'm unconsciously holding my breath. "Are you going to look at the creek?" "Yeah, if they're not there, I'll head into town." She stands straight again. "Let's go." We walk on in silence. I just keep looking at her.
"Don't you want to run?" She looks at me with a little smile. The smile I've become to adore. "You can't keep up with me, mister." She teases me. I start to grin. "Wanna bet?" "Last one at the creek will be treating the other on a drink this weekend. After the anniversary." She winks at me. She starts to run. I bite my lip as I watch her go. She turns her head to look at me and she giggles as I'm catching up with her. "You're really fast, Baby." I pant. I didn't thought this through. She's used to running. She giggles about it.
"Or you're just not fit anymore." She winks and speeds up. "Hold on!" I speed up as well. I actually don't mind buying her a drink. On the contrary but now she made a competition of this. As soon as we get to the edge of the woods, where the creek is. I caught up with her. "I win!" She exclaims with her arms in the air. She's still giggling. I start to chuckle about it. "You might win, but I'm still able to catch you." I reach out to her and she jumps away. "Really?" I can see her daring expression. She puts her hands on her hips. I' catching my breath and try to grab her again. She jumps aside.
She giggles as it became a game. I'm laughing as I watch her. I've never felt like this before. It feels so freeing to be who I am around somehow who seems to like me for who I am. She doesn't pull up her nose at me because I haven't showered in some days, or that I haven't shaved. "Let's have a swim, just like we were young. You remember that we came here with our friends? Especially during spring break." She takes her shoes off. I watch her taking her shirt off. I can't keep my eyes off her. I shouldn't look, but I can't help myself.
I do remember those times, they were amazing. I also remember how she always was surrounded by Jack, or any other guy from school. I never really got the chance to be alone with her. I watch her taking her yoga pants off. I bite my lip as she turns her back to me. She turns her head with a giggle. "Come on, Dancer." She jumps into the water. I see her head coming above the water. She looks at me with that same little smile. "Come on! The water feels really great." I give her a half grin and kick my boots off. She watches me as I turn my back to her to take my jeans off.
"Are you shy, Johnny Castle?" I chuckle. I turn my head to look at her. "No, I'm not, but I'm naked if I take my jeans off." She giggles but keeps watching me. "You don't wear underwear?" "Um… Britney makes me wear them, but I prefer not to wear any. It's a thing I've got since I was a kid." She giggles again. I see her not turning around. She's waiting for me to join her in the water. "Come on, you don't have to be shy. I won't do anything, you're engaged." I let the air go out slowly. I didn't want to hear that. If there's one thing I want, then it's her doing something when I join her in the water.
"All right, I hope you're prepared." She giggles as I take my jeans off. I cover my private parts as I turn around. She keeps giggling as she watches me coming into the water. "Feels nice, right?" When I'm in the water, I look at her face and smile. "It does." The water feels amazing. I go under water with my head and came back up, pushing my hair back. I open my eyes and see her coming closer to me. "So, you've never done anything like this in LA? Or with Britney?" "Can we not talk about her?" She looks in my eyes. I keep gazing in her eyes. "Sure, no problem." She whispers.
After a moment I start to smile again. "There's that gorgeous smile again." She whispers. I inhale deeply and hold my breath when I feel her hands on my chest. "You think I've got a gorgeous smile?" She moves closer, pressing her body against mine. I feel like I can explode from the feelings she's giving me. "Yes, the most gorgeous smile I've ever seen in my entire life." "Really?" I feel her fingers going through the little chest hair that I have. She's driving me crazy. I swallow once but I don't look away.
"Really, can I tell you something?" I only give her a nod. "I'm in love with you ever since the first moment I laid my eyes on you." I didn't reply to that. I just keep looking in her eyes. I feel like I can drown in them. I know mom would say to listen to my feelings and my heart, but my mind is saying not to do anything stupid. I feel a little conflicted. She watches my face. "Listen to your heart, Johnny, what do you really want?" We keep gazing at each other for some moments. I'm not answering her question. I'm pretty sure she knows what I want. I look at her lips.
Then, without thinking further about it, I lean in and kiss her. I close my eyes and I feel the chemistry between us getting stronger. I feel her soft lips and how she's kissing me back. She's so good, this feels oh so good. She let her hands glide up, laying her arms around my neck. I feel her fingers going through my hair at the back of my head. I inhale deeply through my nose and hold my breath as I kiss her deeper. I let my hands go to her lower back, pressing her more against my body. Feeling her skin against mine. I want her so bad right now. I kiss her more eagerly. I want to take her breath away. I let my hands go to her bottom. I feel her wrapping her legs around my waists.
After some moments, I stop the kiss and slowly open my eyes. I see her smiling with her eyes closed. "Hmm." She makes the sound. "How was it?" She opens her eyes to look in mine. "I don't know." She whispers. I see her teasing twinkle. I chuckle silently. "Kiss me again." I bite my lip and lean in. I kiss her again. She inhales deeply and holds her breath. I can feel her clinging onto me. It's like she wants to tell me I'm only hers. It feels good. I turn around with her and slowly walk out of the water. She stops the kiss. I want to keep kissing her while I'm trying to look at where I'm going. She watches my face with a giggle.
"What are you doing?" "Nothing." I sag onto my knees. I look at her face and see her biting her lip. She starts to kiss me this time. I slowly lay her down on the grass. I lay myself on top of her as I keep kissing her. My hands went beneath her back. I try to open her bra. She giggles when she feels me searching. "This one has the pins on the front." I lift my head up. I see her smile and look down. I push myself up a little. "Aha." She giggles about my reaction. I lick my lips. I look back in her eyes. "You want this, Baby?" "Do you?" She whispers as she lays a hand on my cheek.
"Nothing more than this." She giggles about it. I bite my lip and lean in to kiss her again. She grabs my head. I kiss my way down to her throat. She lays her head back. I feel her fingers going through my hair. "I've dreamed of this so many times." She whispers. I open her bra and lift my head up to look at her body. It's so much better than it was in my dreams. I look back in her eyes for a long moment. I bend down and kiss the skin between her breasts. I feel my eagerness growing, but I want to enjoy this moment for as long as I can handle it. I let my tongue do the work. I hear her moaning my name. "Oh, Johnny."
My hands go to her slip. I take it off. She wraps her legs around me again when I lay back on top of her. I want to explore every little detail of her body. I want to treasure her, keeping her to myself. I want to make her feel special. I want to belong to her. I never would have thought that I would be laying here like this with her. I went down, making a hot trail of kisses on my way to her treasure. I'm giving her pleasure. I feel her grabbing my hair and then pushing my face against her while she nearly screams my name from pleasure. She starts to shake uncontrollably. I lift my head up to look at her.
I lay myself slowly back on top of her while I give soft kisses on her body. She opens her eyes. I look in her eyes and smile. She smiles back. "And? Did I convince you?" She giggles, biting her lip. Grabbing my head to pull me in so she can kiss me again. I close my eyes and kiss her eagerly back. "Convince me again." "Oh, Baby." She smiles as I kiss her. I move a little and position myself. She closes her eyes. I push my hips against her. She gasps and holds her breath. I look at her face with a half grin. "Oh my." She whispers and giggles again. "Who would have thought that, mister."
I chuckle about her reaction. I lay still, pushing myself up on my elbows. "Not too big? Or too little?" She shakes her head and gives me a soft kiss. I close my eyes. This feels so good, and somehow it also feels familiar. Like we do this often. "Just perfect, just like you are to me." I open my eyes and I see her eyes. It takes my breath away. I kiss her again and for some time our bodies rock together. The way she touches me. The way she kisses me. It's like our souls are intertwined. I can't get enough of the feelings she is giving me. No one else has ever given me these feelings before.
