34- sleepover fun


"Does anyone else want any more pizza?" Catherine asks us for the third time. Except unlike the other times we all say no. Apparently the walk made us very hungry and we pretty much demolished three pizzas, minus a few slices.


"What is on the agenda for a sleepover?" Lacey asked Charlie as she got up to throw her and Logan's trash away. Don't ask me if they are dating because she refuses to tell me. Anytime I ask she just shrugs and changes the subject. I can't really say anything because when she asks me about Nick I do the exact same thing.


"Dinner: check. Now we can either watch a movie or go swimming." Charlie informs her.


"We can't swim, we just ate." Jay scoffs.


"True. But by the time we all get changed and the pool heats up, our food will be settled." Micah points out. She and I are pretty chill with one another. Turns out she has been trying to get a guy to like her and wanted Nicks help to make said guy jealous. Nick refused to help her and she was forced to ask the guy out the old fashioned way. The guy liked her and they are dating but it's hard considering he is a freshman in college and she is still a senior. From what Micah has told us things are going well, and she always adds a wink at the end. So things must be going really well.


We all get up to go to our designated rooms to change. Lacey and I are sharing a room so we head there.


"What's the deal with you and Logan?" I ask Lacey while getting my bathing suit out of my bag. "And don't you dare shrug." I point a finger at her.


Lacey giggles as she heads into the bathroom with her bathing suit. "We may or may not be dating."


"What!" I screech.


Lacey pokes her head out from behind the door. "For how long?" I ask.


"Hmm...New Years Day." She says as if it isn't a big deal.


I gasp, "Lacey Anna Lodge! How dare you keep a secret from me for that long!"


Lacey rolls her green eyes at me, "It hasn't been that long. Just a month."


"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" I ask with a pout.


"I wanted to but I didn't know how you would react. You don't exactly like Logan." She tells me.


Okay, it's not that I don't like Logan, I just think he's a little too much. He is never serious, always joking. Yes, he is funny but there is just something about him that makes me wonder why Lacey would date him. Logan isn't the type of guy Lacey usually goes for. Then again, Nick isn't the type of guy I would go for.


I sigh, "Lacey, it doesn't matter what I think. If you like him then I will support your and his relationship. You're my bestie."


Lacey gives me a sincere smile, "Thanks Tay. Nick isn't so bad either. Are you two dating yet? Everyone at school seems to think so and everyone in those other rooms as well. Excluding Nick, maybe." She informs me.


I smile at that. "He hasn't officially asked me yet, I'm hoping soon. I mean we act like a couple, I honestly just want him to kiss me. The only time we kissed was when I was drunk and I barely remember it." I say.


Lacey exits the bathroom, "Well if he doesn't want to already kiss you then when he sees you in that bikini he will want to. Maybe even more." She winks at me.


I was careful to choose which bathing suit I would wear this evening. I knew any one I chose would grab Nicks attention but I wanted to be on the safe side and choose one that would make sure his head would turn. I want that kiss.


I scoff, "Me. What about you? Logan will die once he sees you in that bikini. Cheering has really done good things for our figures."


"Right but we would rock these swim suits no matter what our bodies look like." Lacey says proudly and I nod in agreement.


"Ladies! Come on the pool is heated up!" Jay yells from the other side of the door.


"Jay you better not ogle Lacey!" Logan hisses.


"He won't be ogling Lacey. He will be ogling Taylor." Charlie laughs.


"Hey! You better not!" Nick warns.


"You are so getting that kiss, girl." Lacey giggles and I can't help but blush.


Lacey goes to open the door and as soon as she does Logan's jaw practically hits the floor. I can't help but laugh. And that laugh causes Nick to come into the doorway, he reaction is different from Logan's. Nicks warm hazel eyes slowly travel up and down my body and he smirks in approval. That smirk makes my whole body heat up. Then it heats up even more when I see that he looks incredibly sexy in just his red swim trunks.


Oh my God.


I almost pass out.


I also check my mouth for drool.


"Okay...let's go." Charlie says and drags a wandering Jay away down the hall.


Logan is still trying to strings words together so Lacey just grabs his arm and pulls him down the hall following Charlie and Jay.


I stand there in the room in my pink two piece and Nick still stands in the door way looking at me like no other guy ever has.


I'm about to say something but I get distracted when Nick starts walking towards me. His eyes has a look of lust and hunger in them. His face has a look of determination and it is all so hot. I may die from how good he looks.


Once he gets to me he puts his right hand on the back of my neck and stares right into my eyes before smashing his lips to mine. Oh my.


Nicks other hand goes to my waist and mine go to the back of his neck and into his hair. And yes, it is soft, so much more softer than I had originally thought. This kiss is anything but soft. It's got a fire to it. I can just tell from the way he is kissing me, that it is way over due.


Nick pulls me closer to him if that is even possible and my grip on his hair tightens which causes Nick to let out a very low but sexy growl.


Unfortunately we need air so we both let go but don't go too far from one another. Nick stills has his hold on me and presses his forehead against mine. We are both breathing heavy and have yet to open our eyes. That is one kiss that just kept on going. If Nick wasn't holding onto me I would fall or float away, either one would be good as long as he got to come with me.


"I'm sorry it took me so long to do that." He whispers. "You have no idea how long I've had to refrain from doing it."


"Why didn't you do it sooner?" I ask still breathless.


"I'm an idiot. There is no other reason." He laughs. "This bathing suit gave me the kick in the ass I needed. You look insanely gorgeous right now." He says in a husky tone.


I feel the heat creep up my neck and to my face. I'm not used to Nick talking like this to me and to be completely honest I don't think I ever will. The feeling I get makes me want to never leave this room. If I was certain I was ready to take that step I would, but since this is still new I don't want to mess it up by going to fast. I just got him, I want to savor it.


"You look handsome too. Or hot, whichever one works." I say looking at his chest. That tan skin and those abs, I'm swooning like no other again.


"They both will do." He laughs. "We better get down there, if not they will think we are up here doing something else." He sighs and kisses me on the forehead. Nick starts to let me go but I pull him back for another kiss.


This one is different. Unlike the first one, this one is sweet and slow yet still sexy. And brings all those feels right back, I'm not even sure they totally left. I hope they never do.


"Come on." Nick mumbles into my mouth. "I'm sure we can sneak away later. I know some secret places here too." He winks at me and grabs my hand to take me to the pool. It takes us a bit to get there because we will we just starting kissing so we are kind of getting addicted to one another's kisses.


I was head over heels for Nick "Batman" Ross and I wasn't changing it.
