The exams were over and it was officially summer.
I invited Ashton and Darren to my house and Grace too of course, on the last day of our exam which was Thursday. We had lunch together and spent the whole day in the pool.
It was 11:50 pm at night that day and I was reading in my room when I heard something strange.
Like someone was pounding on my window. I put the book down and waited for it to happen again and it did. It was as if someone was throwing rocks at my window. I got up and walked over to my window and opened it.
Ashton was there with rocks in his hands and he threw another one which landed on my face.
"Ouch! I'm here you idiot." I whisper yelled.
"Sorry." He whisper yelled back.
"What are you doing here?"
"Get dressed and come down."
"What? Are you crazy?"
"Maybe. But I promised you a year of adventure and fun right? I'm taking you out on a midnight adventure. Now get your ass down Morgan."
I did as I was told. I put on some jean high waisted shorts and a black crop top adding a plain white kimono on top of it. As I slipped on my black converse I grabbed my phone and keys and was about to sneak out when I saw light coming from the living room.
Shit.
I could tell my parents. They wouldn't mind. But the whole fun was in the sneaking out part. It wouldn't be an adventure if I told them I'm going out and just walked out the front door.
"What's taking so long?" I heard from outside.
I told him that my parents are awake.
"Jump!"
"No you seriously must be out of your mind Holmes. I still have a year to live and I plan on keeping it that way. I ain't dying tonight."
"I'll catch you just jump you wimp."
I got in my 'who you calling wimp' mode and stepped out on the roof.
"You better catch me." I said before jumping and landing on top of him and knocking him down on the floor.
"Thank you." I whispered.
"You're so fucking welcome." He groaned in pain.
"Ashton, are you okay?"
"Yep, it's just that you crushed me."
"Oh come on I'm not that heavy." I said getting off him.
I may have not been heavy but my jump did knock him down pretty bad.
I mean I wasn't hurt, but that's because he broke the fall and got hurt in the process.
"Who's the wimp now?" I smirked.
After he got off the ground we drove off to a nearby ice cream shop.
"You dragged me out of the house to get ice cream?!" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Not just any ice cream. But the best ice cream you'll ever taste."
And he was right. It was the best ice cream I have ever tasted.
After that we got in the car again and I realized that he was driving to the direction of my house.
"That's it?" I asked.
He looked at me confused.
"This was the midnight adventure? It only took us like 15 minutes. I didn't jump off from the roof just to eat ice cream. I could have done that with Grace." I said.
"Alright. Where do you want to go?" He asked stopping the car.
"I want to go to the beach."
And to the beach we went.
I took off my kimono and threw it at him. Next I took off my top.
"What are you doing? You have got to stop getting naked in front of me." He said.
"Going skinny dipping." I said taking off my shorts as well.
It was dark so I couldn't see his reaction.
"Come on join me."
"No." He said.
I started taking off the rest of my clothes,bwhich were my underwear and bra.
"Okay okay. I'll join you, but please no more nudity. Just keep those on." He said taking off his shirt and pants.
I wasn't planning on taking off my undergarments, I just knew if I did that it would get him to join me.
Seconds later he was left in his boxers, his perfect body exposed.
He ran towards me and carried me into the water.
The water was cold and our only source of light was the moonlight.
"Do not drop me Holmes." I said as I wrapped my hands around his neck as he was carrying me bridal style.
"Oh really now?" He teased me brushing my foot on the surface of the cold water.
"Please Ashton, it's cold." I said.
"You're the one who wanted to go skinny dipping." He said repeating the action. Then splashing some water on me with his feet.
I let out a screech then giggled, my hold on him getting tighter.
"No no Ash please please." I begged for him not to drop me, burrying my face in the crook of his neck.
"Okay." His voice was now serious. He rearranged our position, letting go of my legs, only to position them around his waist, which I obliged and helped in the process. My hands still wrapped around his neck. He placed his hands around my waist, so tight,as if he's afraid if I fall I will break.
"You're so beautiful." He said.
I gave him a smile, slightly blushing. But he couldn't see because it was dark, and I was so thankful for that.
He leaned in preparing to kiss me.
The moment his lips slightly brushed against mine. I backed away.
"I'm cold. We should get going. I don't wanna get sick. Well, sicker." I gave a small chuckle.
He nodded with a small smile playing on his lips.
I did the right thing stopping that kiss. That wasn't just a kiss, not like the ones before. This was real. At least it was going to be. But i didn't let it happen. I didn't want things to get real between us. That was the last thing I wanted. I just wanted a fling. A distraction.
That is why I stopped it. It was the right thing to do. I hope.
We put our clothes back on and walked back to the car.
"Wait here." He said and walked to the back of the car.
Seconds later he returned with a jacket and put it around my shoulders and started rubbing my arms for warmth.
"I wouldn't want you to get sick. Well, sicker." He teased, using my own words against me.
I smiled and nodded.
He opened the car door for me then he got in the driver's seat and drove off.
We stopped in front of my house.
I thanked him for everything then I was about to give him his jacket when he stopped me.
"Keep it." He said.
I thanked him again placing a kiss on his cheek then walked to my front door.
I turned around to wave goodbye, only to see him already gone.
I opened the door and walked in not caring if my parents were awake.
Thankfully they weren't.
I walked up to my room and got out of my wet clothes and decided to take a shower.
After that, I put on some pijama pants and looked at Ashton's jacket on my bed.
I slipped the jacket on and layed in my bed covering myself up with the blankets.
I closed my eyes and inhaled in everything that happened tonight.
The jacket smelled so good.
It smelled like Ashton.
It was as if he was here laying with me.
I smiled to myself and slowly drifted off to sleep thinking about the owner of the jacket I was holding on to.
