The Beauty and The Jerk N.h a.u

Chapter Thirty Nine

"Nice to meet you." I stick out my hand for them both to shake and they do.

"Well come on guys, come sit down, we put out some chairs."
Jenny leads Niall and me to some lounge chairs.

"Niall beer?" Deo offers and Niall of course says yes.

"Kamryn?"

Before I could say no, Niall said it for me.

"She doesn't drink." I just smile to agree.

Deo and Niall went into deep conversation while Jenny came to sit closer to me.

"Hey." She laid a towel down beside my chair to sit beside me.

"Hi." I whisper being shy again.

"Figured you and I might as well get to know each other." She smiles.

"Yeah."
"So Kamryn, tell me about yourself."
"Uhm, I'm not really that interesting."
"Oh come on sure you are!"

But I'm gonna sound poor.

"Uh, I'm 21 I live in an apartment with my best friend Hannah. Uh I work as a coffee house waitress.... OH and I also have a dog named Pearl." I pause trying to think of something more to say. "That's about all." I bite the inside of my cheek.

"Cool."

Cool? Isn't she supposed to insult me or make fun of my poor social class.

"What's Pearl like? I have a Maltese named Mo, he's a hand full." She laughs.

Maybe she won't be that bad.
Jenny and I conversed as if we'd known each other for a decade until Deo and Niall splashed us when they jumped into the water together.

"What the heck Deo." Jenny laughs.

"Get in the water." The two say in unison.

I get up and walk to the edge to fill the water temperature. Freezing.

"Too cold." I shake my head.
"Kamryn." Niall wines.
"What?"
"You're no fun." He swims to me.
"Maybe later."
"If you don't get in I'll throw you in."
"You wouldn't dare."
"Oh but I would!"

I have an intense stare down with him before giving in, "Fine." I sighed.

"Jump." He swam away giving me room to jump.

"No, I'll take the later."
He rolled his eyes and swam to host him self into the dock.

Assuming he was just gonna jump in again I went away on my own to the later. Only to fill, seconds later, wet hands on my waist.

"Niall Horan." He walked over to the side of the dock. "If you throw me in I swear I'll break up with y-"

Niall threw me in before I could finish my protest. I swam up to the surface.

"Niall Horan." I screamed only for him to jump in splashing me.

"Kamryn Kelly."
"I told you not to throw me in."
"I get told a lot of things."

I splashed him and pushed him under.
"Well that wasn't nice." He teased.
"You deserved

"Let's go slide." Jenny smiles. We all agree and follow her up the wooden steps that lead to the second story of the dock.

I didn't realize how high the dock was until I got to the top and noticed it flowing back and fourth.

"Niall." I clinch his bicep.
"Yeah?" He looks down.
"I don't like this, I'm gonna go back."
"No Kam, why?"
"I don't fill stable. It's moving."
"Kam, it's gonna do that. We're on a lake."
"I know but I just don't fill safe."
