He laughs. "Are you kidding me?" He says, "I've loved you even longer!" He grins at me, maliciously. "I'm just surprised you didn't love ME longer! I mean look at me! How can you resist such good looks?" He looks up at me, through gorgeous long lashes, laughing when i punch his arm. I laugh too, I cant help it.
"Asshole." I mutter smiling at the mock-hurt on his gorgeous face.
"Come here you!" He yells as he grabs me and crushes me to the ground. His face hovering above mine, then he whispers, with curiosity in his eyes, "Hold still." He leans down, his body crushing mine. Heart racing, my mind goes blank as he presses his lips to mine. I can feel my hands shaking, sweaty. He groans as he presses down harder on me, his body moulding to mine. I run my fingers through his shaggy dark hair then wrap them around his neck, pulling him so close that theres no air between us. He pulls away and stares down at me, his eyes filled with longing and lust. "Maya," He whispers, his voice husky from kissing me. "You don't know how long I've been waiting to do this." Oh I think I do, I thought, as I pull him back down to me. My breathing rougher. Its just like I always thought it would be. I smile. Oh, how long I've longed for this moment. I wrap my legs around him and turn till I'm on top of him. One of his hands are on my back, the other creeping up my shirt. I shiver and kiss him deeper and deeper. "I love you." He whispers against my lips. "Your so beautiful. Even if you don't believe it." He kisses me again, opening my lips with his. I can feel my breath coming faster and faster. We finally pull apart and I roll to the side. I feel his hand on my hip. I look up at him. He's grinning at me, I smile back. He runs his fingers through my silky long blond hair then just lets it slip through them.
"Maya! Brian!." I jump, startled when I recognize Susan's voice. "Dinner's ready! Come on!"
"We're coming!" I shout back as Brian shakes his head.
"Sometimes people just don't seem to respect privacy" He says. I laugh and slap him on his shoulder.
"Oh come on, baby!" I say, feeling warmth flow through my stomach at the word. "We've had PLENTY of alone time!"
He smiles at me. "Not enough." He says, then pulls me into a big bear hug, squealing with joy. "I'm gonna have to steal you tonight little missy. I still don't feel like I know you well enough." I giggle at his last comment. "We'll take a walk after dinner." He looks up at the sky. "I think we'll be able to see fine with out flashlights." Then he grins at me, a mischievous look in his eyes. "Or we don't even need lights." I shiver.
Chapter 3: The storm of betrayal
I wake up the next morning and then the memory of last night comes back to me. I blush. Luckily nobody can see me. I get dressed then climb out of the tent, yawning. I can smell breakfast. The boys are sitting at the picnic table, Brian's sipping a cup of, hot chocolate? Probably. He looks so cute, he has on his pj's and his hair is all messy. That just reminds me of last night again. A few of the boys friends had come early this morning apparently, including my brother. Who was, at this moment, telling them some story. He looks up and sees me.
"Hey sis." He says, smiling at me.
"Good morning." I yawn. Brian grins at me as I walk over to the bench he's sitting on.
"Morning sleepyhead." He says, pulling me down next to him. "How'd you sleep?"
"Surprisingly good." I say, yawning again. "Where is everyone?" I ask, looking at Elliott. He shrugs, checking the food.
"They're all waiting for Brinny and her girls. My stupid sister left me to cook instead of going to meet up with my girlfriend." He makes a face. I laugh and walk over to him.
"Here, let me." I take over for him. He goes and sits on the bench, sipping his coffee while I cook the food.
"You two were sure out late." He says, looking from me to Brian. My brother spits his drink out on the table and I feel my face burning, while Brian just sips calmly and says,
"We took a long walk." He shrugs. I stare at him, how could he be so calm about it? Then it hit me. This wasn't his first time. Of course it wasn't, I think, mentally kicking myself. He's done this tons of times. Even though I should have known it for some reason I had thought that I had been his first like he was mine. I bite my lip. I'm so stupid.
"Wait," Mike says, "You guys…" He looks between us. Oh god, I think, now my brother knows. It can't get any worse than this. But luckily the others arrive, cutting off the conversation.
"Hey, look who finally got up." Tarren, one of my brothers football buddies says, smiling at me. "Hey maya."
"Hi Tarren." I say, smiling at him. Then I look at Susan, who's talking to Josh, her ex. "Um, Susan you might wanna take over here." I tell her. She looks up at me and then smiles.
"Thanks Maya." She says, walking over and taking it over from me. I shake out my hands then look around me, all in all, I'd say there is about seventeen of us or so. Unfortunately though, everyone here is either two or three years older than me. There's Tarren, Josh, Susan's ex; Leslie, one of Susan's best girls; Max, Brian's blood-brother, not birth, blood; then there's Ethan, my brothers blood-brother; Nate, he took me to prom last year, but then tried to go too far, meaning sex; Bethany, one of Brinny's friends and my brothers girlfriend; Michael, my brother, of course; Elliott, Nick, one of Elliott and Brian's friends; Trevor, he made a move on me last year; Diana, one of Brinny's best girls friends one of Brian's exes, oh yeah and pretty much all of these girls other than Brinny, Bethany and Susan are like in-love with Brian, and some of them dated him, anyways; then there's Eesha, she LOVES Brian, and she's Susan's other best girl; Therresa, who likes Brian too but is too shy to talk to him and she's also Brinny's other best girl; Brian, Me and Susan. I smile around at everybody around me, most of them I like, especially the girls, their really nice. I watch as Eesha and Leslie walk over to Brian twisting their hair and biting their lips, looking nervous. I see Diana and Therressa watching them from far away, neither of them like those girls. They are both best friends with each other as well as Brinny
"Hi Brian." Leslie says, smiling at him.
"Hey girls," He says, grinning at them.
"Can we sit with you?" Eesha blurts, then she blushes, embarrassed by her outburst.
"Of course." He says, sipping his, what I now realize is coffee. They sit down next to him, looking up at him, affectionately, batting their eyes, and giggling. I watch them, eyes narrowed. But then something came to my attention.
"Hey Diana," I say, walking over to her.
"Hi Maya." She smiles at me. All of the girls are really nice to me, especially Diana. "How are you, sweetheart?" She asks me. I see her glancing over at Brian.
"I'm good. Hey are you pregnant or something? Just wondering." I ask. Ooo I'm sly.
She looks at me, a little bit surprised, then sighs and says,
"I was kind-of trying to keep it a secret. But since you asked, yes. I am pregnant." She smiles a bit.
"Really?" I squeal. "I'm so happy for you! Who's the father?" My face falls when she looks over in Brian's direction. "B-b-b-brian?" I feel dizzy now. She looks at me, tenderly.
"You two are dating, aren't you?" She asks, gently. I hesitate then slowly nod. She chuckles then looks over at where Eesha and Leslie are beaming up at him as he talks. "I do feel bad for those two. Kind-of. But of course they were being asses to me. But I am really happy for you. I could tell, even when we were dating that he was in-love with someone else, he was just too kind to admit it." Then we hear it. The thunder roar, I look up into the clouds and the rain starts pouring, I see lightning streaking across the sky, and hear thunder.
"Everybody!" Elliott yells over the noise. "Find shelter! Whether it's a tent or a van or whatever! Go! Now!" We all run under shelter. I run into my tent and zip it up. I wonder where Brian went? I sit in my tent for quite a while. No Brian. Oh he's probably sitting outside with his friends, I think to myself, smiling. Nothing to worry about. Quite a few minutes later and still no Brian. I decide not to worry about it and close my eyes. I have soon fallen to sleep.
I wake up to yelling. Ugh, I think, What is it? I step out of my tent to my brother yelling,
"Leave! You are such a slut." I think at first that he was yelling at his girlfriend but then when everybody turns to look at me, I feel my limbs stiffen. I look up to see that the person my brother was yelling at is actually…
"Brian? Mike? What's going on?" I ask, worried.
Brian turns to me and I feel tears well up in my eyes. He's holding Diana's hand.
"I walked in on your boyfriend and this chick getting steamy in their tent." My brother sneers. I feel tears streaming from my eyes.
"Is this true, Brian?" I plead with him. Please don't be true. He looks away. Oh my god, I think. It is true. "Leave." I say. He looks down but doesn't move. "Did you not hear me? I said leave!"
He looks at me and I can see tears in his eyes. I don't care, I tell myself. I don't care how he feels. Everybody stares at us.
