That Girl

That Girl - 2 -

Maybe I was thinking too much into it, Peyton is just being a supportive friend. So when Hayley left, Kristy walked over to me

"You should invite her to your birthday this weekend? You guys could... you know...rekindle" I roll my eyes at her wiggling her eyebrows and being the annoying older sister I knew Hayley to be

"No, she's not coming" I say and partner off

"You can be my partner James" Peyton offers me a supportive smile and starts setting the ball "Are you ok?"

I just shrug my shoulders "It's whatever"

"I'd be hurt too if I caught my boyfriend in a threesome" I closed my eyes for a second, trying not to relive that situation and got hit in the stomach "Shit sorry are you ok?" I nod my head rubbing my stomach and chuckle. Peyton moves closer and puts a hand on my shoulder

"I think I'm more than ok" I being the confident guy that I am, as she steps back I lift my shirt up revealing my six pack of abs I'm constantly working on. I rub my the bare skin of my stomach and see her eyes trail down my stomach to the v outlining of my hips

"Ok" I watch a slight blush form on her face and turn back to warming up in drills "Anyway I wouldn't invite her either, I mean she did cheat in front of you right?"

"She what? You let me talk to her!" Kristy yells beside us "How come Peyton knows and not me? If I had known I would've smacked her over" Kristy spikes the ball at me but I instantly pass it back

"It's completely over with her, can we now focus on training please" I say calmly "Mums glaring at us"

Training with my mums team couldn't be any harder. She had us doing jumping drills while her team did their usual drills. I couldn't help but watch the way Peyton's muscles fixed as she positions herself for a serve. Those tone legs positioned to jump and the way her body curves in the right way as she flies through the air to hit the ball in her jump serve.

Fit is definitely the new skinny and is just as sexy when a girl like her has the chest and the ass to match her form.

Fuck it! I'm getting hard, concentrate on training and just like that, my man was down.

"James! Focus!" My mum yells and I shake my head. Peyton turned her head in her defensive position which happened to be squatting in front of me. Shit!

She raises an eyebrow at me then smiles shaking her head

"James! Suicide sprints now!" I groan at my mums orders, removing my shirt which was dripping with sweat to be left in my wife beater singlet and do my sprints.

"Oh my life! Please don't, that's my brother" I hear my sister cry out to a few of her team mates.

"Ladies focus!" Peyton yells out and offers me a soft smile "Stop perving at the boys, our club tournament is next week, we need all the training we can get"

"So you have a reason to celebrate not only for your birthday next weekend?" One of the girls laughed which made Peyton smile. A smile that always made me stop and stare, a girl with a happy smile always got me going and with her, damn!

"Ok ok" Peyton motions her hand to get back to it and as I run past again, I smiled at her.

**

"Thanks for letting us train Mrs Parker" one of my team mates say "It was cool"

"Next time you boys need to cool down around my girls otherwise this won't be happening again" oh my mum the hot tempered woman. They nod their heads and walk off

As I walk passed to grab my things, I couldn't help but listen in to Kristy and Peyton's conversation "Don't forget you left your laptop at mine" Kristy tells her

"Oh yeah, I might as well as shower at your place, my parents don't get back until tomorrow, did you want to stay again to keep me company? My brothers are not fun to hang with"

Kristy shakes her head "I can't hun, Blair is coming over tonight and I haven't seen him in ages"

Kirsty's boyfriend, Blair. Cool guy and also gets along with my older brothers. I didn't mention there are four of us. Three boys and Kristy, me being the youngest. My two older brothers, the oldest Jake is twenty-six and the next under him is twenty-four then Kristy at twenty-one. Her birthday was in the beginning of the year then me at seventeen going on eighteen this weekend.

"Bro I need to pick up my bag from your place? Mind if I come with you" Luke says as we grab our things

"All good, do you want a ride home too?" I ask as I throw my hoodie over my clothes

"That will be sweet, we can talk about your birthday this weekend" I roll my eyes at my best friends enthusiasm

"It's not going to be a big one, I'm only having family and friends because we are going clubbing" I raise my eyebrows smiling "Why party when most of us can go clubbing, fuck we may not even get there, we may have too much of a good time at mine" As we walk out of the changing rooms, there's my sister and Peyton grabbing their bags

"God your sister is hot" I raise my eyebrows at Luke "All the guys talk about her, well practically talk about the whole team, you were too busy staring at my cousin to even hear it"

I frown and brush the instant shock off, being calm and smooth "I was checking them all out bro, not just Peyton" I grab my keys out of my bag and twirl them in my fingers

"It's ok dude, I've always known you have a thing for her but she's got like a booty call at the moment so I don't think you're her type" I was pissed at what Luke just said

"Whose her type?" Peyton asks and we both look to each other and just smile

"Just this girl James has the hots for" Luke you life saver. Best buds always got yah back

Peyton shrugs it off at her cousin but just nods her head towards me "See you later... Kristy come on!"

"Jay it's ok if you like her, you've always been close to her its all good... Even her brothers think that way too, they were giving her shit about it the other week" I rub the back of my neck. Fuck the only person who probably doesn't believe it, is the girl herself. There goes my chances with her anyway, she's got someone on the side.

Here's the update. Sorry it took so long. Poor James. Do you reckon he has a chance? We won't know until next time.

Happy reading
