The Summer Job

Chapter 15- Pool Day

"Well we'll have to change that." Tyler states as he looks at me with a mischievous look. What is he about to do?

"Tyler don't you dare-" I say as he puts his hands around my waist and throws me into the water. I come up to the surface, shocked that he just did that. He's looking down at me from the side of the pool, laughing. I have to get him back for that.

"Tyler ouch." I say holding my hand for dramatic effect. His face goes from laughing to concern in just a matter of seconds.

"What?" He asks with concern.

"I fell on my hand. Look-" I say holding it out to him. He reaches out to inspect it and that's when I take the opportunity to grab his hand and push him into the water.

When he comes up to the surface, I start dying of laughter.

"I gotta admit, I wasn't expecting that." He says suddenly, running his hand through his hair. I couldn't help but notice how attractive he looks right now, especially with wet hair.

"Tyler I have a question." I announce, finally voicing my thoughts. I need to ask him why he completely ignored me the other day.

"Yeah?"

"The other day, when you weren't talking to me, why was that?" I ask. He looks surprised at the mention of it. It looks like he is in deep thought before he decides to respond.

"Because you said it was stupid." He says in a serious tone. I'm still confused.

"Wait what?"

"You said the party was stupid." He states. I'm lost in confusion. What is he on about?

"Why would that bother you though?" I ask.

"God Lana, do you do this to everyone you kiss?" He asks, annoyed. I can sense a bit of hurt in his tone. I'm still lost. Kiss?

"What do you mean? Wait did we kiss or something?" I question.

"I get if you didn't like it but you don't have to pretend it didn't happen." My eyes widen in shock. Shit we must have kissed at the party and I didn't remember because of how drunk I was.

"No Tyler, I genuinely have no recollection of kissing you.." I say. He looks at me with surprise.

"What?" He asks.

"I was wasted at the party Tyler. That's why I said the party was stupid... because I didn't remember much from it." I explain.

"You don't remember anything?"

"Well I remember the beginning of the party and I remember taking a lot of shots but that's about it." I clarify. So Tyler got mad because he thought I called our so called kiss stupid? Does that mean- no it can't..

"Tyler, I wouldn't call a kiss stupid. Especially if it was with you." I say. Tyler looks at me before smashing my lips against his. It definitely takes me by surprise. My heart begins to race as our lips move together. He wraps his arms around my waist as he lifts me up. I wrap my legs around his as I place my arms around his neck. Everything just happened so quickly but I am not complaining. Tyler's lips are soft. My heart is racing ten times faster. Something about this kiss felt so right.

I finally pull away as I catch my breath.

"I've wanted to do that for a while." He says which causes me to blush. Gosh, he is so attractive. I think i'm still recovering from how good that kiss was. Tyler is one good kisser.

"I thought you hated me when we met." I say.

"No you were just new and you intrigued me. And you're cute." He says simply.
