Auroras POV
"Hey, can I use the punching bag when we get back to the lake house?" I asked.
"Uh what time is it?" Rylan asked.
"Like 6," I replied.
"Then go ahead," He smiled at me.
Then not long after that we arrived.
I immediately started running through the woods and up the stairs to the Lake house.
"Hurry up, I need to change," I put my hands on my hips and narrowed my eyes and Rylan.
"Listen here, You try walking up all of these stairs carrying all of this," He narrowed his eyes back at me.
I mimicked what he said and then ran inside.
While Rylan was taking his sweet ass time coming up the stairs I was able to quickly heat up some leftovers and eat half of it, leaving the rest for him to eat.
And not long after did Rylan come inside and place all of the bags in the living room.
I ran over to the living room after placing my make-up in the bathroom, the one attached to the bedroom.
I told Rylan about the leftovers he could finish and then dug in the bags and grabbed a black nike sports bra and black nike pro shorts as well.
Then I ran into the nearest bathroom and changed.
When I opened the door Rylan stood there leaning against the wall, across the door.
"Can I help you," I asked.
He looked at my frame up and down, then his eyes landed on my lips.
"Nuh uh, no sir, go away perv," I shake my head and hold my hand up as I try to walk away.
Rylan grabs a hold of my hand and spins me around, he pulls me flesh to him, leaving no space between us whatsoever.
He leans in and I immediately turn my ear to him, Not today bud.
You are in the friend zone.
Not only because I don't want a relationship or anything of the sort, but because I don't want to get hurt.
Then he tucks my hair behind my ear and whispers.
"You are gorgeous,"
I bite my bottom lip trying to hold back the smile that is fighting to break out on my face.
"And I don't know why or how no one has ever told you," He adds.
This guy.
He really is trying.
Definity not working.
Then he releases me from him and backs up.
He all of a sudden lets out a low and quiet chuckle.
What's so funny?
"I'm sorry, but you are blushing," He smirks.
Shit.
I rolled my eyes, grabbed my airpods, placed them in my ears and turned on my music on full blast.
Then I walked into the room with the punching bag.
I grabbed a pair of punching gloves and put them on.
And I began punching the bag.
I wasn't paying much attention to the hits I was making.
Or my surroundings.
I was too buried into the punches I was making and the music that was playing in my ears.
I hate him.
I hate him.
I hate him.
I repeated to myself.
Only friends, Nothing more.
Stop letting him get to you.
Stop letting him have an effect on you.
Ignore his annoying comments.
I told myself some more.
Then I felt someone place a hand on my shoulder, and without thinking it through I turned around and threw a punch at Rylan.
He Dodged the punch and looked at me in surprise.
He looked at me, being more focused on the expression on my face.
He slowly put his hands up in surrender and said something, but I couldn't make out what he was saying because of the music that was playing in my ears.
Then he slowly walked closer to me. Each step He took I took one back, until my back was up against the wall.
He raised his hands to each of my ears and took them out.
He then took a step back due to the glare he was receiving from me.
"What the hell do you want," I glared at him.
"Hey, don't kill me for complimenting you, god damn," He laughed. "You were gonna break the punching bag by the way you were punching it,"
"Yeah so what, You can just buy a new one," I retorted.
"Yeah, I could but why waste the one I have now to just buy a new one," He questioned.
"Fine Rylan, Then get me something else to punch since Im 'to strong' to be punching your stupid fucking punching bag," I shout at him.
"I mean you could try to punch me, but I'd rather ask you what's on your mind-"
Without letting him finish his sentence I threw my right fist up at him but he ducked right in time.
I threw punch after punch, and he dodged all of them.
"How the hell," I start, and pause to throw another punch. " Do you keep dodging all my punches," I finished, throwing another punch.
Which he dodged, again.
I paused my punching and tried to get him off guard with another punch.
He pulled me in by my fist and then wrapped his other arm around my waist pulling me closer to him.
He leaned towards my ear and I clenched my jaw.
"Because I trained well, what about you darling?" He whispers in my ear.
I felt his breath on my neck and my own breath got stuck in my throat.
I only grew angier and kneeled him in the gut.
"Don't fuck with me Rylan," I said while undoing the valcrow on the gloves and throwing the gloves on the floor storming out of the room.
I walk into the living room and dig through my new clothes.
I pull out a pair of light grey sweatpants and a loose cropped green champion shirt, along with underwear and another black Nike sports bra.
Then I stormed into the bathroom attached to the bedroom.
I locked the bathroom door and took off my clothes and started the shower.
After 20 minutes of washing my hair and body, shaving my legs, and trying to calm down with the water hitting my face. I got out of the shower and put on the new clothes I picked out.
I Brushed my hair and teeth, then did my skin care routine.
I tried doing whatever I could to stop being so angry.
Soon enough, I was calmed down by the time the clock hit 9pm.
I opened the door and immediately caught sight of a shirt less Rylan.
I feel my cheeks heat up and I get annoyed again.
I can't stop or do anything about it.
I walked out of the bathroom and towards the bed, looking at my feet the whole time.
I lay on the bed, on top of all of the covers and faced the opposite direction he was in.
"You know, The beach is beautiful at night?" He breaks the silence.
I hum in response, not wanting to really talk.
"What do you say I get us some ice cream in cones from the kitchen and we can walk along the water?" He suggested.
"Only because you added ice cream into the suggestion," I sit up and grab my sandals that I bought earlier.
He must've brought all of my clothes into the room and put them all away in the bedroom.
I walked into the kitchen and waiting for Rylan to get us the ice cream, but once he's taking his sweet ass time.
" You are fucking slow," I shouted to him.
He is doing god knows what in the bedroom.
He walks into the living room wearing the black bathing suit bottoms and the Navy blue hoodie I got him.
He then passed me my all black 2 piece bathing suit.
"Just in case we want to go for a swim," He smiled, while walking to the freezer and pulling out the vanilla ice cream.
I rolled my eyes and walked into the bathroom in the hallway.
I then take off my clothes and put on the bathing suit, then put my sweatpants and top back on over the top of the bathing suit.
When I walked back into the kitchen Rylan was holding my ice cream for me to take.
I excitedly took the ice cream from him and put my sandals back on.
We both walked out of the house, side by side, and walked down a different path that I am assuming leads to the beach.
Once we reached the beach I had already finished my ice cream, so I pouted, whined, and complained A LOT.
"When we get back to the house I will get you more, Okay?" Rylan sighed, in a form that made him sound annoyed.
Oops
I Excitedly nodded and then kicked off my sandals and plopped down in the sand.
I watched the water as the moon shined down on it.
I slowly took off my sweatpants and top as well, but I wasn't going to get in right away.
"I'm going in," Rylan said from behind me.
But I never looked back at him, I kept my eyes focused on the water.
Then Rylan jogs into the water and then dives under.
Show off.
I hope the water is fucking cold.
" No need to show off," I shouted at him as he rose out of the water.
He looked over at me and started walking my wait.
Shit.
He better not.
Oh god he is getting closer.
This is where I pass.
Goodbye world.
You will not be missed.
"Dont even fucking think about it," I jumped up and said.
Rylan charged at me and I ran for my life.
Then I triped over a stupid rock.
Dammit.
Rylan laughed at me while offering me a hand up.
I take the hand up and he pulls me flesh to him, but this time we r skin to skin.
Water drips from his hair and on to my face and I shiver at how cold it is.
Our lips were less than an inch apart.
"Don't you fucking think about throwing me into the damn watter," I narrowed my eyes at him, and the biggest smirked appeared on his lips.
He places one hand to the middle of my back and the other on the back of my thighs.
He scoops me up into his arms like I'm a damn baby.
I wrap my arms around his neck and hang on for my dear life.
"Dont you fucking dare," Is all I can mange to say before he throws me into the water.
To the part I cant fucking reach.
He's lucky I can sorta swim.
I swam to him and wrapped my arms back around his neck, and once again, I hung on for my dear life.
"If I drown it's on you," I mumbled.
He chuckled and picked me up again like a baby.
This time he turned around and began walking back to shore.
Once we were not in the deep part of the water anymore I jumped out of his arm and ran to my clothes.
I put my clothes over top of my now wet bathing suit and slipped on my shoes.
I turned to Rylan who was laughing at me.
"You're an ass," I mumbled.
Then he sat down in the sand and looked out at the water.
I sighed and sat beside him.
"You are very annoying," I mumbled.
"How so?"He replied back.
"I- Forget about it," I sighed.
No one said anything.
I felt Rylan's gaze on me but I ignored it while I watched the water.
Rylan signed, very loudly.
I looked at him and his eyes immediately fell to my lips.
"One kiss, if it means nothing to you I will back off, Just one kiss Aurora, A goodbye kiss," Rylan suggested.
I looked down and sighed, but Rylan tilted my head up and made me look up at him.
"One kiss-" I began but before I could finish Rylan leans in and kisses me.
The kiss is passionate, and needly, but it is also sweet.
He pulls away from the kiss and we stare into each others eyes, neither of us moves until he smirks and pulls me onto his lap and looks between each of my eyes.
You know what.
Fuck it.
I leaned in and kissed him.
Neither of us pulled away, not even to catch our breath.
"We.. We should stop," I mumbled against his lips, my lips brushed against his and he tried to kiss me again but I pulled away.
"It.. It meant nothing," I shook my head and lied.
I stood up and began my walk back to the lake house.
It meant everything to me, but like hell will I admit that.
