Pool party

Chapter 6

"Just a few more touches girl and you'll be a princess," Ciara said.

"Now for your makeup.," She said.

"This is taking forever!" I whined.

"Hold still!" She yelled, trying to fix the eyelashes.

"Now you can look," she said.

I stood up and looked at myself in that mirror...I looked different.

My brown hair was all curled and pinned up.

I wore a white chiffon button design high slit skirt, it exposed one side of my leg.

Ciara said I had to look spontaneous because it's freaking Damien Baxter's party.

While she had a white button-down on.

***

"I'll be right back," Ciara said and left to meet the guy who'd winked at her.

The scene in front of me made me feel sick, loud music blaring into my ears, stupid teenagers making out behind the green bushes, in the pool water, name it whatsoever, some had either drinks or cigarettes in their hands.

I feel sick.

I rubbed my arms coldly and looked around for Damien.

He was with blonde hair and having me interrupt his conversation might be rude.

I'll wait...

I spotted Zeke and the boys seated under a cabana.

I walked up to them, at least I'm with people I know because the faces at the party all looked kinda new to me.

Zeke ran his eyes all over me.

I couldn't help but feel insecure.

I took a seat beside him.

"I thought you and Damien weren't friends," I said.

"Yeah," he said still looking at my goddammed exposed thighs.

Now I'm swearing.

Shit!

It's even worse!

"Then what are you doing here?" I asked.

"I don't know that. Just found me here," he said and laughed.

Usually, Issac and Allen would have joined him but they were smoking.

I could still feel him staring at me although I wasn't directly looking at him.

Wonder what's going on in that stupid head of his.

I grabbed a drink in front of me and was about to gulp it.

"Yo nerd, not all drinks at a party are drinkable," Zeke said and took the drink from my hand.

"You need to learn a lot about parties because they'd be a lot of fucking that day." He said with a dry laugh.

"Asshole," I mumbled.

"You just said a swear word," he said with a fake gasp then laughed.

"All thanks to you," I said.

"You don't have to tell me thanks, what are friends for." He said with a wink.

I bit my lip and looked around for Damien.

I'm sick of this asshole already.

It has only been a week and he's made me begin using swear words.

I wonder what mom would think of me tomorrow when swear words slip from my mouth.

I caught glimpse of Damien seated on a barstool.

He wore a black shirt with blue shorts.

I stood up and walked up to Damien, not wanting to hear any more from that damn jerk.

"Hey, Damien," I said.

"Oh hey, been expecting you." He said and placed his hand on my waist.

Well, I was dumbfounded at his quick move.

I looked over at Zeke but he already had his tongue in a blonde hair mouth.

Gross.

"You look hot tonight," he said.

"Thank so do you," I said nervously.

"Ohh sorry if I'm frightening you." He said and removed his hand from my waist.

"No, you weren't," I said a little quick.

"How about we play a game?" He asked out of the blue.

"Uhmm I don't really play-" he cut me off.

"Just one please..."

How could I possibly turn those cute grey eyes down?

"Guys we're gonna play a pool volleyball game," Damien said through the microphone.

The cheering was heard and soon we were sorted into two teams.

Me and Damien against Anastasia and Zeke.

Wait, Zeke.

"That's right, baby." He laughed.

I got my legs into the chilled water.

The water was daring cold and Damien was setting up the net stuff.

Zeke pushed me from behind and I splashed into the pool.

"Geez!" I half yelled bringing up my head and swimming to the other side, I'd rather say splashing, I couldn't swim.

"Need help?" Zeke said bringing out his hand with a smirk.

I gritted my teeth and ignored him then reached the end of the pool then sat on a beach chair.

My hair was already a mess and I felt cold.

"You're still gonna get in the water you know," Zeke said.

"I know that!" I mumbled under my deranged breath as I squeezed the good damned water out of my hair.

"That's not gonna work, you know what is?" He asked.

"What?" I asked.

"Stay under the sun, no sunscreen you'll get dry." He said.

"Ohh thanks for that, why didn't I think of it sooner," I said rolling my eyes.

"Now who's the smart one here?" He asked and chuckled.

"Alright team a and team b, get to your position."

"Good luck," I said.

"I don't need your luck." He said and got into the water.

"Whatevs," I mumbled.

I got in the water again and swam at a snail's pace towards Damien.

The sound of the whistle was heard and the game started.

I later got the hang of the game and actually enjoyed playing.

At times, Damien would splash water on me or would often brush his leg with mine.

This went on till I got hit on my chest by Zeke.

"Oh, my Gawd!" I yelled holding my chest.

"Oops." Zeke laughed.

"You fucking manwhore!" I yelled.

Everyones' eyes were on us.

Damien helped me to the surface and lucky enough, I wasn't hurt at all.

He gave me lemonade then rushed back to the pool.

Well, I was under a cabana and was about to drift to sleep.

"Hello."

I opened my eyes and met Zeke seated beside me.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"That's not a polite way to speak to a friend." He pouts squeezing his face.

He looks so cute.

I did not just say that- he's still an asshole.

"What do you want?" I asked feigning a smile at him.

"That's more like it." He said smiling.

"Uhmm...see ya later." He said and stood up.

Seriously?!...no apologies or even concern for what he did.

"I'm not gonna talk to you," I said bluntly.

"Well suit yourself." He said with a smirk.

"Well then just get out already!" I yelled a little mad.

He thinks so highly of himself and I freaking hate that.

"Well see you later." He pouts with a sad face as he left.

Don't be deceived by his hot, model-like cute face, perfect tanned skin, brown eyes.

Gahh!

He's still an asshole no matter what.
