I opened the car door and slid out of the driver's seat. I started to walk toasted Jade's house when I noticed Jade sitting in the car glaring at me.
"What are you waiting for? Open the damn door for me! That's what a real boyfriend would do!"
"We're dating now?"
"Yeah. That's what you wanted, isn't it?" She snapped at me.
"Uh, yeah." I say, biting my lip. I had been beaten, broken, and practically killed by Jade. I wonder how Cat would react after this news.
I opened the door of my car for her, and she stepped out, her combat boots roughly hitting the pavement. She trudged to the door, coffee in hand, and then crossed her arms waiting for me. I quickly caught up with her, and rolled her eyes and opened the door. "Dad!" She called into what looked to be an office. "I'm home."
"Yeah, yeah. Fresh coffee on the counter." He responded, not even looking up from his laptop.
"I brought a boy home."
"Whatever."
Jade looked slightly hurt at the lack of interest her dad had in her life. "'Kay, if you need us, we'll be in my room, alone, having sex."
"Have fun," Her dad said, completely ignoring everything his daughter just said.
Jade motioned for me to follow her up the stairs, so I obediently climbed up the stairs behind her. "Are we seriously gonna have sex?" I asked with a joking grin on my face.
"You'd like that wouldn't you!" She replied sharply.
"Kidding!" I say, throwing my hands in the air.
"You better be," She glared at me, and I couldn't help but smile after she looked away. Jade sure was something else.
She turned a corner, and then started walking down the long hallway. She came to a dark red door on her left, which she proceeded to open, revealing a room filled with sewing supplies. "Huh," She shrugged. "I guess that's not it," She continued to turn around and walk the other way.
"What are we looking for?"
"My bedroom," She said, and briskly turned around.
I stood in awe. You live in a house for 15 years, and yet you still can't find the way to your bedroom.
Eventually, we found a second dark red door. Jade twisted the handle and I crossed my fingers. We couldn't spend the entire afternoon wandering around the East wing trying to find her room. She pushed it inward to reveal a black and white room. It was wuite tidy, something you wouldn't expect from Jade. Her bed was made, with a white comforter and black pillows neatly arranged. A glass nightstand sat next to her bed, a picture of her singing at the age of about 14. Glass cases hung on the wall, filled with dark colored butterflies. She had a black dresser at the other end of the room. The walls were dark gray, almost black, and she had a pristine white rug.
Jade plopped down on her bed. "Finally found it,"
"What happens if you don't find it at night?"
She shrugged. "I sleep in one of the guest rooms. Come on, let's get to work on our scene."
After about an hour of working on our script, Jade, who was lying on the bed, flopped onto her back, her head hanging off the side of the bed. "I'm booorrreeedddd…" She whined. A devilish grin then crossed over her face. "Wanna go swimming?"
"Where?"
"In the Mediterranean Sea. In our pool of course!" She said sarcastically.
"But it's raining."
"It's indoor!" She said as if I were 5.
"Oh," I replied. "But I don't have my suit,"
"Borrow one."
I grinned. "Okay, I know I can pull off a lot of things, but a bikini's not one of them."
Jade rolled her eyes. "My dad's!" She hissed.
"I know, I know! I'm not a five year old!"
"Got the maturity level of one," She mumbled under her breath.
"What?"
"Nothing!" She snapped. "Follow me."
She grabbed my wrist and lead me down the hall, taking many twists ans turns until we came to a pair of large glass double doors. She pulled open the metal handles, and dropped my wrist. She pointed to a cabana at the back of the room. "Cabana. Change. Now." I followed her instructions and a few minutes later, I walked out towards her pool. I stared down at the olympic sized swimming pool. After a while, Jade still hadn't come out of the other cabana. "Jaadddeee…" I walked over to it and knocked gently once on it. I guess she forgot to lock it because the door swung open and I saw the back of Jade grab the ties on the back of her bikini and tie them. I stood mesmorized until she turned around and saw me standing there watching.
"DUDE!" She screamed angrily. "What the heck?"
I snapped out of it and tried to speak, but the words came jumbled out of my mouth. "But..You see…It's not-"
"Whatever," I was cut off by her.
She walked over to a beach chair, put her dark shades down, and plucked a magazine off of the table next to her.
"Ha, you're no fun," I said diving into the pool, then resurfacing and shaking my head so I sprayed water all over Jade who flinched.
"I'm plenty of fun!" She snapped.
"Wanna bet?"
"Hmph," She pouted.
"Come on, the water's awesome!"
"No." She stated simply.
"Fine, if that's how you're gonna be. I swam over to the edge where she was sitting, and heaved myself onto the foamy floor. I stood up walked over to Jade, and scooped her into my arms.
"OMIGAWD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING BECK?" She shrieked.
"Having fun!"
"NO!" She screames.
She kicked and twisted in my arms, but that didn't stop me.
"Your resistance only makes it worse! IT ONLY MAKES IT WORSE!" I laughed. I jumped into the pool, holding her in my arms Honeymoon-style. "BECK!" She shrieked, but I could tell she was trying not to laugh. We went under, and resurfaced less than a minute later.
"Beck!" She yelled, but I could tell she had fun.
"What?" I asked smiling.
"Don't ever do that again!" But I caught her smile as she said that.
"You had fun,"
"No," She denied.
"But you diiidddd Jadey!"
"Call me that again and you'll die a slow painful death."
"Fine. But admit you liked it.
"Nevah!" She said, smirking and proceeded to splash me.
I chuckled and splashed her back.
We continued to splash each other for a while until she climbed out of the pool and sat back down on her chair. She adjusted her sunglasses, and picked her magazine which she had dropped back up. "Do not disturb me this time."
"Fine, fine." I said. She pulled her sunglasses over her eyes, and I continued to swim for a while. I got out of the pool to pour myself some lemonade, when I noticed that under the magazine and behind her glasses, Jade had fallen asleep. I smiled deviously, and set my lemonade on the table. I silently crept up behind her chair, and shoved her into the pool, chair and all.
She immediately woke up, and screamed.
"BECKETT RYAN OLIVER! YOU"RE GOING TO DIE A SLOW, PAINFUL, TRAGIC DEATH AT THE YOUNG AGE OF 15!"
I cracked up, this was too much for me.
I was laughing so hard to the point where I was literally rolling on the floor and I was crying.
"Oh, you think this just, oh so hilarious, don't you" She said climbing out of the pool.
"No, not at all!" I laughed sarcastically.
"Hey, you can have irony but sarcasm is my thing!"
I grinned at her and she rolled her eyes, but I could see a small smile on her face.
A half hour later, I noticed a small blue shed sitting in the corner. "What's in there?" I questioned Jade.
"Hmm… I don't know." She smiled mischievously. "Let's go find out!"
I followed her over there, and she yanked open the door.
A large raft-cushion thingee fell out.
"Oh, dibs n the float!" I laughed.
"No way! I want it!"
"I called dibs!"
"Fine," She smiled devilishly.
She was up to something, but I didn't know what.
I cautiously took the raft and sat it adrift in the pool, and climbed on it. I lay back and closed my eyes, the water peacefully bobbing around with me.
Oblivious to Jade to her, she smirked, and silently made her way over to me. She ducked under water, and slipped under my float, and then flipped me over.
"Wha? Jade!" I yelled before I knew what was happening.
As soon as I resurfaced, I saw Jade grinning and pumping her fist in the air.
"Revenge! I win!"
"No way! I got you way better!"
"Nuh uh!" She stuck out her tongue.
"Yeah huh!" I said, sticking my tongue out back.
Before I knew it my lips were attached to hers.
