Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Déjà Vu

Pushed into the Pool by the Bad BoyWords: 5051

Déjà Vu

"Nathan, where's my phone?"

He gives me a cheeky smile before pulling it out of his pocket. "Right here, Minnie Mouse."

I roll my eyes and snatch my phone away from his grasp. "C'mon, let's go," I say, dragging him to Jasmine Velitino's house, where's she's having another party. A pool party.

As we step inside, it's practically empty. But that's only because everybody is in the backyard where the pool is.

We make our way to the back of the house and are just in time to see Will do a backflip into the water. Everyone cheers loudly as a response to the risky performance.

I find Bella, sitting by the pool and talking to one of her volleyball teammates.

"Hey," I greet them, as I sit beside Bella.

"Opal, you're here," Bella says with a sigh of relief. "Where's your boyfriend?"

Just at that moment, Nathan and Will both jump into the pool, along with some other guys. They emerge from the water, laughing loud as hell and giving each other high fives.

"Right there," I reply, gesturing to the boys in the water.

"And what are you wearing?" Bella questions.

I stare down at my Nirvana shirt and my shorts. "Clothes."

"At a pool party?"

"I don't wanna wear a fucking bikini today," I sigh tiredly, as I kick my feet in the cold water.

"Could've worn a one piece," she suggests.

I shake my head. "I'm too lazy."

Bella lets out a chuckle. "I know."

I play with the beaded bracelet on my wrist. It's something Ella gave me last week. "Isn't it crazy that we're seniors next year?"

Bella nods her head beside me. "What's even even crazier is that you have a boyfriend."

I shove her shoulder lightly. "Shut up."

I look back at the pool, realizing Nathan isn't in the water anymore.

I turn back to Bella to ask where they must've gone.

And that's when I feel two fucking hands on my back as they push me into the pool. Déjà vu.

I emerge from the water, glaring at Nathan who's laughing hard as hell. Jerk.

I move closer to the edge and reach for his hand that's closer, pulling Nathan in with me.

I can't help but laugh, too. "Karma is a bitch, babe," I tell him through my laughter.

I feel his arms wrap around me and pull me closer. "But karma looks good on you, Minnie Mouse," he says in my ear.

I smile widely and poke his nose. "Stop. You sound cheesy as hell."

He chuckles at my statement. "I know. But you love it."

I stare at the sky as it changes from a golden glow to a shade of lavender.

I struggle to keep my hood from falling over my eyes, but I don't want to pull down it down either, so I just deal with it.

The hoodie I'm wearing isn't even mine. It's Nathan's.

We're currently at the park. Like, literally everyone from the pool party is now gazing at the setting sun. Seems like something that usually takes place in a movie.

So basically after the party died down, someone had a crazy idea that we should all head to the park as a gigantic group. And everybody was just like 'fuck yea.'

We all changed into something dry to wear, and now we're here.

I feel someone's presence walk up to my side, and I turn to see Nathan. His head is tilted upwards to the sky as well, as he sticks his hands in the pockets of his sweatpants.

I rest my head against his shoulder. "I'm tired," I mumble.

He chuckles softly. "You're always tired," he tells me quietly.

"And I'm hungry, too," I add.

"You're always hungry."

I wrap my arms around him. "Can you please give me food?"

He faces me, his green eyes seeming almost unreal as the setting sun shines on them. His messy brown hair makes him look so freaking adorable.

"Kiss me."

I blink a few times. "Uh what?"

He smirks. "Kiss me if you want food."

I roll my eyes and release  Nathan from my grasp. "I'm not that desperate."

"You sure, Minnie Mouse?"

I nod my head confidently, as I stare at the pretty sky.

He lets out a sigh. "Okay. I'll just buy fries for myself then."

I immediately turn around and plant a kiss on his lips.

Nathan's arms wrap around my waist and pull me closer as he kisses me back.

After a few seconds, we pull away. "You would've thought you were getting those fries for yourself," I tell him breathlessly.

He gives me a cheeky grin. "Fuck the fries. I just wanted the kiss, Minnie Mouse."

I let out a laugh. "Fuck the kiss. I just wanted the fries."

He stares at me before kissing me again. "Sure you wanted the fries," he mumbles in between the kiss, and I can't help but smile.

I'm in love with a dumbass that I met at a pool. Where he fucking pushed me as a dare.

And I couldn't be more happier.
