Chapter 14

Sometimes you can't even stand for your decision.

---------------------------------------------------------

                

Days are going faster than anything, and in the blink of the eye it's weekend again but it doesn't matter for me. well, I can say that weekends are going to be peaceful at least I've some time to relax and do nothing just lying on my bed in Pajamas, walking around at home like a ghost, eating like a pig and not to forget that watching television ruthless. these things are my priority to do on weekends because I'm most of the time alone on weekends. Mom is always busy with her work, Sometimes I think that she didn't even care about me!  She always is busy with her work no matter what the condition is, So, I just have to enjoy myself on the weekends and if you're wondering about Vess?  Well, she goes every weekend with her family or at least she enjoy's 'the family lunch " every weekend. Don't get me wrong but sometimes I get jealous of her not as her of course not but for she has the perfect family. while I didn't even have fam in my life.

And if you're wondering what happened with Dylan and Vess in these previous days. So, let me enlighten you that they became a thing. Thing as in the couple, not a thing. Yeah, it was the hardest time for me .why?  Because I got to play the role of Cupid between them.  As usual, they were both all shy around confessing their feelings to each other. So, after seeing all this drama . one day I decided to make a plan to make them confess their feelings.
After trying it much time.it finally hit on track then they became Dessa. I mean they are the couple now, for my honour of work to do some prestigious thing. I demand to be the Godmother of their children. Firstly, they both thought that I was Joking, but soon they realized, I was pretty much stubborn when I decide something.

So, all in all, this week was full of surprise, drama, love, obnoxity and so on.

Enough about previous days.

Sighing, I got up from my bed and went downstairs to make some yummy food to eat. I was still in pyjamas heading to the kitchen when I heard my phone start ringing. Ughh now I need to go upstairs which I don't want to do. Moreover, I didn't expect any call today. So, I can pass it without any worry.
I took out a bottle of milk from the refrigerator and pour it into a bowl then I added some chocolate chips in it and stir it well. At least it will help me to heal time while cleaning. I ate it all in twenty minutes at least for some time I'm pretty much full and It was very tasty though.

I cleaned all the dishes and began to work on placing everything in its right place when House's phone rang .for first I tried to ignore it or I didn't pay attention that much but it didn't stop it's started ringing more and more now and I'm like what the hell?  Can't I enjoy a peaceful weekend?  What is the problem here?  I didn't expect any call. Wait for a second, this phone generally rang when mom was here then why it is ranging  .only one way to find out if I need to put a stop to my imagination and pick up the fucking phone.

"Hello," I asked .clearly out of frustration.

"Woah Woah why haven't you picked up the phone? "

"Is that you? Vess? "

"You bet I am! "

"Why are you calling me this time?  Aren't you supposed to be with your family? "

"No. I mean yes, I'm supposed to be with them but then I make up a plan. "

"What plan? "

"Be ready in half an hour for Hamptons. "

"I am not coming " I seriously don't know know what the hell I'm going to do between them. Yeah. I know she didn't mention it until but I know her.

"So, you've better plans for yourself without me?  You know I think you don't love me anymore " her voice is taunting me.

Oh no.  Not again.  Emotional blackmail.  I think I've to go otherwise she will drag me out by here. Vess is pretty much stubborn when it comes to doing things according to her.
Rolling my eyes. I said " stop being a drama queen. I"ll be ready in half an hour. "
I was ending the call when I heard be ready in your bathing suit.

***

Just two words. Just two words it is for others but it is the whole tornado for me and the words are bathing suits. I don't like to wear it, it is not that I don't have a body of bathing suit type or I'm not confident about myself though I"ll never be confident about it .anyway what I was saying that is I don't like to show my body. I don't like it .infact what is different between them and undergarments?  They are quite the same.
Ahh, let's think I'm wearing a bathing suit and everyone's eye watching me in that glory. Yukk the feeling is yukk.
I'm not going to wear it.  I"ll make some excuse to her, yeah. Definitely. I'm going to do that.
I removed all the thoughts from my head and headed to my room to find any pleasant sundress.

HA!  Not even a one sundress I own. All there is just pants, jeans, shirts and all but not a single dress. Now, I realised maybe sometimes I have to go shopping for dresses. At least they will help me on some occasions and sudden plans like this. The thing is it is about later, what I'm going to do now?  I don't even own a dress. What the hell Am I supposed to do?  If I've time for shopping. I"ll go instantly for it. However, I don't have any.
An Idea came to my mind. Maybe I should go and check mom's cupboard. I know that chances of finding a sundress are nil but at least I can try there.

I rushed into mom's room and opened the cupboard there were many drawers, each drawer has something professional stuff in it of her. I didn't dare to touch those things. So, I quickly glanced at the hangers which were hanging around on a rod, each of them has some coats,  pants, shirt .mostly of her professional attire. I kept finding a dress in that however, none of the magic happens. Time is running so faster yet I didn't find a dress. Then somehow like god listened to my worry and I saw a suitcase above the cupboard. Well, it is better to do something than nothing. Then why not, I picked a stool placed it near the cupboard and stood above it. slowly -slowly I grabbed the suitcase and took Down it and placed it in bed. It opened with a sound of a click, my first reaction is "wow" just "wow".there were several dresses, that looks almost new with their price tags still on them. Although I'm stunned yet it is suspicious to me. However, I don't have that much time for it.
After looking from one dress to another, I found a perfect sundress for me it is blue in colour matches my eyes, it has a floral print on it reaches up to my knees. I took it out and Closed the suitcase placed it in the cupboard then ran with my dress to my room. I quickly changed my clothes from pyjamas to sundress then I gently combed my hair and made a high ponytail. I don't want to lose my hair it's pretty much hot out there. I applied some lip-gloss and wore my black flip-flop. I took my side-bag and placed all the contents which I needed like-some cash my phone and sunglasses.
I grabbed my phone when It rang, quickly I picked up.

" where are you?  I'm honking the god damn horn for years. Open the door, will you? "

"Ah-I- okay" I uttered.

I quickly ran downstairs to open the door.

"Ah!  Finally" she muttered while hugging me tightly. She's going to kill me seriously

"Vess you're going to kill me. " I almost choked.

"Ah!  Sorry about that " she stepped aside.

"Come on. Let's go. " I grabbed her hand and started walking.

"Wait a second. Follow me" then she started heading upstairs to my room. Now, what is she planning to do?  I mentally slapped myself.

Follow her .already.

I started following her in the fast movements. Why?  I'm so clumsy I can't even run properly. I should better start running. Yeah.  From tomorrow I'll start running.

"Take off your dress. " she snapped.

"What?  Why" I asked her in confusion.

"You didn't wear a bathing suit. Do you? "  shirt!  How the hell does she knows that I didn't wear it.

"Well. In my defence, you called me suddenly and I didn't have a bathing suit. " I snapped my arms crossed. Well, it's not wrong right. I don't own any bathing suits for myself.

"Then wear it. " she took out a blue colour bath suit from a bag and threw it on me. While I was in total confusion looking at her with a question -mark look.

"Don't look at me with this expression. I knew that you were not going to wear it if you've it or not. So, I grabbed one of mine while coming here. Now go. Change fastly. We don't have all day for it. "

I took it and headed to the washroom to change while glaring at her. What was her expression for it well she was fucking smirking? Sometimes, her demanding nature irritates the hell out of me. However,  deeply I know that she's the only one who cares about me.

Quickly, I remove my sundress. wore bath suit then again sundress. ugh, that's why I hate so much for going out on weekends .they were supposed to be relaxing not like this changing and changing. After wearing sundress I came out and did a creepy ramp walk for her with a murderous frown on my face as in If-you-tell-me-one-more-time-to-change-I'll-kill-you. She chuckled first then put my sunglasses on me and grabbed my hand to go outside.

Outside. Dylan was continuously honking his black SUV like he wants to budge it out from its place.

"What took you so long. baby?  I was waiting outside for hours! " he's irritated. still, somehow he tried to sound pleasant.
Hearing the word baby from him made me more frivolous and I  couldn't stop myself,  a chuckle escaped from my mouth. Vess elbowed me for this while Dylan just glared at me.

I think I was sure for Dylan that he always remains the same maybe he'll change a little bit for Vess.

"nothing just some girl things, come on let's go otherwise we'll be late. " Vess took the seat beside Dylan on front. while I opened the back door of it.

"Boooooo! " a sudden voice makes me jump from horror. Sweat dripping from my forehead like I'd seen a ghost. However, this ghost is not at all creepy but sexy as hell.

"Cole how come you here?  You almost give us a heart attack and why the hell you were hiding? " Vess asked clearly out of annoyance.

"Baby, I invited him. I got bored. Since you were doing your girl's stuff. So, I called him and he was somewhere near in this area " Dylan told her as telling what would be two plus two.

"Cole, me, Dylan, Amanda. all are coming to Hamptons ." She shouted in excitement while I can't even believe in my eyes, muttering some unusual words under my breath I seated on the end side of the corner near the window making as much as possible space between us.

We hitched out seat belts and started the journey to the Hamptons .ten to fifteen minutes were passed by without any disturbance. I closed my eyes and leaned my head against the window. Rock music was blasted from the speakers. maybe I can enjoy today a little bit Cole get rid of me and didn't want to irritate me anymore. I was dreaming about my dream when I received a poke on my cheek.
I opened my eyes and found a  jerk on my side. I gave him my what-the-hell look! 

"We are going to enjoy and you're sleeping here. You are such bor, " he muttered in my ears. so low. I pushed him and fight back with my dangerous look.
"And you're pathetic ".

"Stop being a wuss. Once I"ll remove this shirt you will drool all over me. "

"Drool over you, my ass. "

"Who twisted your panties"

"Shutup"

"What will you do If I won't? "

"I" ll kill you"

"So, that you can touch me. " enough is enough. Firstly he's looking damn sexy like always and I made a pledge last weekend to not think about this, secondly, he's getting on my nerves, third is I don't want to do anything stupid again, fourth. There is an annoying voice in my head who's asking me to check him out even though he's a playboy. So, he can stop arguing obviously. Fifth, everything is confusing here.

Relax just ignore him.

"Both of you stop or we would be kicked you out right here right now in this street which is far away from your houses where you walk like a zombie. Although we love tom jerry very much we wouldn't want to see it in real" Vess and Dylan both said in a parental tone.

I growled louder. "He started it. " I said pointing my finger to him.

"Oh no not again. Both of you just be quiet. " Dylan demanded.

"Dude. Can I say one thing? " Cole asked.

"No. You can't but you'll say it anyway so just say this is your last chance. "

"You're Dylan, my friend, .whipped, " he said mockingly with a stupid/sexy smirk on his face.

"Dude. Just .shut up. "

And we all fell silent while music blasted from speakers. Soon, the only couple in this car started doing some verbal communication as he compliments her while she blushes in reply or playfully punches his shoulders. It didn't take any longer for them to start eating their faces while making the car stop at its destination.

"Hey", I tried to grab their attention while jumping in my seat ." stop eating each other faces!. ".however, they didn't stop.

Cole was laughing his ass off in my not so good attempt ."HA! HA! HA!  So funny it is. At least I tried not like some people who just want to annoy others. " I exclaimed while crossing my arms.

In just a moment of a flick, he spilt all the water of the bottle on them. "Fuck! " Dylan yelled. And they separated from each other. Finally.

"Oh please don't fuck here I can't tolerate it anymore. " Cole said in an amused voice. For his stupid remark he received a punch from Dylan in the face while Vess, her face turned into a deep shade of tomato.
Tension gets increased in the air. I need to say something to ease this tension. I cleared my throat. "Guys, get up already otherwise water gets cold. " I said in a very polite manner.

***
There is some aura around beaches which gives the feeling of freedom. Freedom from everything the way its waves moves its neverending length, its bluish and greenish water.

I gawked at the site of it. There were people everywhere. The sun was bright up in the sky making the water crystalline .woah, there were a lot of people here most of them were teenagers. There were food stalls also which kept me in wonder what they were selling.

Vess chuckled at me grinning "I'm sure you like it! ". I nodded my head in reply. I feel relieved by coming here. I noticed all the girls were in bathing suits .there were shirtless boys walking around everywhere.
"Time to lose girls" Dylan's voice dripped from behind as he wrapped his arms around our shoulders. If he's playing nice I don't mind at all being nice to him. Vess took her clothes off only remaining in her bathing suit. She is in light pink, looking like a model while Dylan removed his T-shirt. His body was also that built but

Nothing is in front of Cole's.

Shutup. I hissed. Damn!  My inner voice.

"Come on Amanda lose your self" Cole came out of nowhere and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. I didn't realise what just happened. I mean I was shocked. When he removed his hand grasping the hem of his t-shirt to pull it over his head. Unconsciously,  my eyes roamed around his chest his eight packs his broad shoulders his muscles. I didn't even realise that I was gawking at him shamelessly. When Cole raised his eyebrow and asked. "Like what you see? " while smirking. Before, I could open my mouth to say something "Cole don't play with her. " Vess offended in my side.

"Vess go with Dylan for some time. However, I'm sitting here for some tan " she opened her mouth to argue but I made her stop while Dylan looks at me with a reassuring smile. Then they both went to the water with hand in hand.
I sat down and relaxed for a minute while closing my eyes. "You're such a boring nerd. " Cole muttered while walking away. And it hurts a little bit at least I'm not annoying like him.

Sweat is dripping from my forehead. Sun is shining at its best. Suddenly, I don't want to be in my sundress. So, I calmly took it off when no one was eye watching me.

"Umm!  Not that bad" A sound came which made me jump in horror. I fell my ass off in the sand. While Cole laughed his ass off in my embarrassment. 
What is the matter with him?  Can't he act like a privileged human being? Who am I kidding he's cole after all he can't fit in the same frame with word privileged. "What are you doing here? " I asked completely annoyed.

"Just enjoying the sight! " he replied with a smirk. Though I know that he's talking about beech but anyhow my cheeks heat up.

"So, finally you decided to get rid of that dress" Vess came. water dripping from her whole body with Dylan. I nodded my head like a silly kid who doesn't know what to do. It's not my mistake that I'm feeling this way I've not been on a beach for a long time. Funny it is that it's not that much away from where I live yet I never have any memory of it which I remember maybe I've been here when I was a small kid.

"Come on let's go. Otherwise, this sun is going to kill me" Vess muttered while wrapping her hand and pulling me with her. Dylan and Cole are also coming on behind us.

***

Water dripping from all of us bodies though it is a little sticky I enjoyed it. When we jumped high when waves hit us. We formed a circle by clutching each other hands. It is funny to do it I should try it more. We were relaxing now for a little bit before our lunchtime. When Cole stood up and went in the direction of water again. I can see him through my eyes where was I.  A red-headed came to him they both were started talking like old friends laughing their asses off!  Like they hadn't laughed in their whole life. What an irritation is it to see him like that then suddenly that red-headed plunged into his neck they were both in just a little distance to kiss and I'm panting like a panther. I just want to rip both of their heads from their body.

Again, you're reacting how can you forget that you pledged yourself that you're not going to react to this. Just stop before anything happens.

Yeah. I know. Whatsoever, how the hell I can't control what I'm feeling I need to take slow breaths just slow breaths and it will calm me.
They are moving they are about to kiss and bam!  They are kissing. I need to get out of here before I can do something. I stood up to go away, "Amy where are you going? " Vess asked suspiciously when I stood, ready to leave the sight to them kissing. I thought she didn't see them kissing she was engaged in a conversation with Dylan. He was telling us a funny story. Which she listened but I didn't I hardly paid attention to them because my mind was on a particular playboy.

"I need to pee. So, I'm going to the bathroom. " I lied. Well not actually I need to pee when I think about it so, it is not a complete lie.

'I'm coming with you she replied with a shrug.

"No. I-I mean relax I'm just going to pee it is not That I"ll forget my way. "I muttered.

"Are you sure? " she asked with concern.

"Positively. " I replied

Then I walked away from there in the direction of the bathroom which I found from asking the direction of it through some girls. When I finally peed I get to relax for a while and started taking deep breaths to calm myself down when I walked out from there. Then suddenly a hand pulled me into the wall of the backside of the warehouse. Why the hell I didn't notice before that there is a warehouse near the bathroom.

What is wrong with you. You're thinking about damn warehouse when you're pinned into the wall and someone's shadow hovering over you.

Oh yes. I didn't realise that my eyes were closed when he grabbed my arm. I was about to yell at him when he shot his palm to my mouth. A sensation of tickling I felt through his hand. Yet I didn't open my eyes.

"Open your eyes. " a familiar voice reached through my ears barely whispering. Then I opened my eyes slowly found a very amusing smirk plastered on his face Cole looking at me with his hypnotizing eyes. When it finally hits me that he was here in a body, flesh. I tried to yell at him but he has still had his palm over my mouth. He's not taking it back at any time.so, I did what any girl do in my situation.

I bite his hand.

Yes. I bite it. Finally, he jerked it from my mouth to his side. Anger has risen in me what is wrong with him?  One moment he was kissing another girl than in next he is here with me. It is all confusing what he wants now?  Why can't he make it clear?

"Shit!  Who are you a cat? " He mocked at me.

"First tell me what are you doing here? " I fought back crossing my arms. Suddenly, my eyes roamed around to his shirtless body he was so near me our body was almost touching heat radiating from his body and my bath suit is still a little bit wet. I became nervous somehow because of him. As he sensed that he can make me nervous he took a step back still staring at me with his famous smirk.

"I can make you nervous " he exclaimed like he was telling himself.

"No. You didn't .now go away. " I snapped.

"Why?  Why did you run away from there? are you jealous? " he asked while smirking.

"Ha!  Jealous of you. What do you think of yourself? " I lied.

"Yes you are jealous, Do you want me to kiss you?  What! What!  Did I hear right?  I felt conscious suddenly licking my lips his gaze fell on my lips while mine was on his.

No! No don't you go there it's a trap he's just playing with you for god sake do not fall in his trap again.

Huh?  I can't understand any word of my inner voice when he closed the distance between us almost touching my lips my eyes get closed when his body touched mine. Heart picked up a rhythm in some nonchalant beat.
My eyes were still closed why didn't he kiss me?  Damn it. I want him to kiss me now. I can't control myself more. Suddenly, I'm not feeling any warmth of his body I opened my eyes and found him at a very respectable distance from me staring at me with a smirk.

What the hell?  What just happened?

"You thought that I was going to kiss you?  I"ll never kiss you-you're not even my type. "

my emotions changed to anger his harsh words completely caught me off guard. I couldn't control myself not anymore. How dare he? I'm going to do something which I'll regret later.so, let it be. I crossed the distance between us and slap him so hard that he will remember this in his whole life. I slap him so hards that my fingers get printed on his cheek.
I was about to cry out though I slap him I was ready to blast .so before I strangle him I pushed him then he walked away leaving me in my misery.

It's all your mistake, it's all your mistake how can you like someone like him. Moreover, how can you expect that he's going to kiss you? You knew that before he didn't know whom he kissed at that party but you still deep down always think that somehow he knew whom he kissed. Now, again he rubbed all the truth in your face  .he didn't know that he kissed you but no you didn't listen you fell into his trap again and made a fool of yourself. He again humiliated you. Just stay away from him if you have some sense in your brain.

I stop myself to not breaking down. one thing I settled in my mind was that I'm a nerd he's a playboy we do have not anything in common and I hate him. I hate him for being a playboy.
