Chapter 3 - Unexpected Thoughts and Water Volleyball
"So, what do you guys think?" Alexis asked as she bit her bottom lip. It was a habit she was acustomed to whenever she was nervous.
Jaden watched her as some familiar words sprung to mind.
xxxFLASHBACKxxx
"So, are you impressed?" Alexis stod in the rowing boat with Jazmine and Mindy sitting behind her. She had her duel disc open and her best card on the field. Looking quite smug, she waited for her opponents reply.
"Impressed? I think I'm in love." Jaden answered.
xxxEND FLASHBACKxxx
Jaden definately wasn't the most...experienced in the romance department, but he knew that the strange feelings he felt around Alexis were something to do with it. 'Can't say I've ever been in love before or know what it's like, but if the funny feeling in my stomach tells me anything, it's that I don't think of Lex as just my best friend...Man that's scarey territory!'
Jaden shook the thoughts away and tried to focus on answering Alexis's question. "Lex, you look...great." Jazmine and Mindy groaned at Jadens lack of complimenting skills but Alexis knew that it was a big deal coming from him. After all, he wasn't the brightest spark.
She blushed and looked towards her feet. "Thanks."
When the other guys had finnished gawping, Jazmine broke the silence. "So, who's up for swimming and sunbathing?" She thought this would be a good way to get their attention, and she was right.
"Yeah! I think a game of water volleyball is in order!" Hassleberry exclaimed.
"Im game!" Jaden punched the air excitedly.
"Actually, I wanted to do a bit of sunbathing first." Mindy pointed out. Syrus agreed with her.
"I'm also going to sit out for a while. There is a book I want to finnish reading." Bastian pulled out a substantially thick book, as if from nowhere, and made his way to where the towels and umberellas were set up.
"And what about you girls?" Hassleberry looked at Alexis and Jazmine expectantly. Jazmine glanced at Alexis, waiting for her to answer for the both of them. The boys pulled pleading faces at Alexis.
She sighed. "Why not?"
Both guys jumped in the air and shouted "Yeah!"
"I'll grab the ball!" Hassleberry left a cloud of dust as he ran to fetch the ball from one of the bags. He was back in seconds, volleyball in hand. "Right, so there's four of us. So that means two teams of two. We could have one guy and one girl on each team?"
"Yeah. me and Lex versus you and Jazmine. If that's ok with you Lex?" Jaden looked at her. She nodded at him and threw him a smile, which he eagerly returned.
"Now that that's been sorted out, why don't we change the game slightly?" The girls looked suspiciously at Hassleberry and Alexis raised an eyebrow. Jazmine asked the question which was on all of their minds.
"What do you mean by 'change'?"
He grinned "Well, you girls are quite light aint ya? So to make the game more interesting, you girls could sit on our shoulders."
"WHAT?!" Both girls exclaimed
"And what makes you think we would do that?" Jazmine looked at Hassleberry as though he had just suggested that she should dig a big holein the sand and bury the contents of her wardrobe, and then herself, inside it. Alexis thought that Jazmine would probably have preferred to do that than what Hassleberry had actually suggested.
"Oh come on. It's just to make the game a little more fun. Besides, me and Sarge are big, strong soldiers. we can carry ya no problem." Hassleberry argued. Jaden nodded in agreement.
Even the girls had to agree with him there. Hassleberry was always muscular, which was an understatement. But now Jadens six pack and biceps were more than evident. Alexis also realized that Jaden was no longer slightly shorter than her. Instead he towered over her by at least two inches.
Jazmine still looked unsure but Alexis had decided that maybe this wouldn't be so bad. After all, It was Jaden she was paired up with. So she thought up a deal that would appeal to Jazmine aswell.
"If we agree to do this, then you guys have to treat us to ice-cream later. And you have to be our personal assistants for a week. That includes carrying our stuff and coming with us when we go shopping." Alexis donned a sly grin. She looked at Jazmine, who wore a similar expression.
Hassleberry looked at them in disbelief. "So you want us to be your slaves?"
"Call it what you want. But don't worry. We won't work you too hard." The girls grinned and Alexis winked at them. The boys blushed. "So, is it a deal?"
The guys looked at eachother, then back at the girls. "Deal!" They shouted in unison.
"Great." Alexis smiled. "So wasn't there a game of water volleyball we were supposed to be playing?"
"Yeah! Let's go!" Jaden shouted and the four of them ran towards the ocean.
Alexis looked down into the glistening water as they waded into the sea. Once the water had reached their wastes, they stopped. It was a perfect day to be at the beach. The sun was beating down and the sea was calm and warm.
"Now that we're here, how are we supposed to get onto your shoulders?" Jazmine certainly had a point, Alexis thought. Jaden, however, seemed to have a solution.
"That's easy. Like this." Jaden took a deap breath and disappeared under the water. the others looked questioningly at the spot where Jaden had been previously. They were all wondering what he was up to.
Alexis felt something swim between her legs and seconds later she shot out of the water and found herself sitting on, a very wet, Jaden's shoulders.
"Wow Lex, you're light as a feather!" Jaden informed her.
She sat, shocked at how fast it had happened. But was happy that he wasn't being dragged down by her weight. That would be embarrassing.
She looked down at Jaden. She hadn't noticed before, but Jaden's hands were resting on her thighs. she knew this was just so that she was secure but she culdn't help the blush creeping onto her cheeks.
"Come on then Jazz. They're up and ready to go and we're fallin' behind!" Hassleberry then ducked under the water. Jazmine looked nervously around her.
"Oh no-oooooo!!" She was forced out of the water and sat upon Hassleberry's shoulders.
"Alright, now we're ready. But what about you guys?" hassleberry asked.
"Oh we're ready." Alexis said with confidence. Jaden looked up as far a he could, to see Alexis's face. She looked back down at him and they smiled. Both of them looked back at their rivals and, in unison, shouted,
"Get your game on!"
