Chapter 11
(Johnnie)
I checked myself out in the mirror once more, the nerves in my stomach making me bite my lip anxiously as I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
"Okay..you've got this.." I whispered before letting my eyes drift down the length of my body. I was wearing the black bikini I tried on with Anna. I honestly felt the most confident in this one considering Anna was there when I tried it on and totally sold me on it. I turned my body, admiring my round b**t and full bust as I actually felt like I looked incredible..I obviously wasn't stick thin like Ava..but I felt sexy and beautiful..I won't let Caspian convince me otherwise.
I stepped over to the bed, grabbed the blue swimsuit cover, and slipped my arms through the holes before tying it together in the middle.
After taking one more deep breath, I walked to the door and quickly opened it.
That's when I smelled something delicious and realized my mom must've been cooking already. It was always tradition to grill outside on the first day we got here and I was starving..
I bounded downstairs just as I heard laughter coming from the kitchen.
"Dave stop, you're going to burn the meat if you keep this up." My mom giggled, making me frown as I stepped toward the kitchen quietly.
That's when I saw Caspian standing in the hallway, making me pause before stepping back and peeking over at him. He seemed to be watching my mom and his dad..the look on his face was one I never want to see but have more times than I'd like to remember..he was pissed.
"Dave stop! The kids are just outside." My mom gasped, her voice sounding breathless as Caspian clenched his jaw before grinding his teeth together.
"Come on, we will be quick." Dave mumbled..and I just about gagged..what are they freaking horny teenagers?!
I don't know what came over me..but I soon found myself moving forward..my legs walking on their own as I stepped towards the kitchen and right past Caspian. The sight of me making him jump as I kept my gaze straight ahead. "Hey, Mom can you help me with my sunscreen?" I yelled really loud before entering the kitchen.
I strode in, seeing my mom fixing her shirt as her cheeks flushed. Dave was now by the fridge, acting like he was searching for something as my mom stood there awkwardly..obviously realizing she almost got caught by her kid doing something nasty.
I don't know why..but a part of me wanted to comfort Caspian..but I wasn't sure how he would react to it so I opted for interrupting this little moment that was obviously making him upset.
I glanced up, seeing he was now gone as I went to the counter and grabbed a strawberry before biting into it.
"Your brother put all the sunscreen outside. Maybe Robin can help you, my hands are a little full currently." She said while giving me a sheepish smile as she continued cutting tomatoes.. "Okay, no problem." I smiled at her and quickly made my way outside.
Is this how all summer is going to be? Maybe they just should've gone on Vacation alone..
As soon as I walked out, I felt eyes on me as I knew Caspian's gaze from anywhere..usually it made me feel uptight and anxious..but right now I felt curious...a part of me wanted to know the expression he wore, and if he was still mad or not. Maybe he is having an even harder time with this than I thought..he was always a mama's boy..he would even make Viva breakfast in bed every Mother's Day..
I know this because my mom would complain that we didn't..
Suddenly I heard the sound of giggling, making my brow furrow as my gaze darted up. That's when I saw two girls I had never met before now by the pool..how the hell did they get here?
One was sitting on the side of the pool flirting with Milo..she had gorgeous curly brown hair and tan skin with striking green eyes...what was she..a model?! Jeez..
And the other..oh god..I would have sworn it was Ava if her boobs weren't like freaking bowling balls..She had long bleach blond hair and lip fillers...she looked to be in her twenties..did I walk into some type of music video shoot or something? "Can you believe those girls?!" Robin suddenly hissed before stepping beside me.
"Who are they?" I whispered, making Robin scowl as she crossed her arms in front of her chest. She had on a red bikini that looked incredible on her slender frame and her hair was up in a bun.
"The new neighbors I guess.." She narrowed her eyes and I swear I was about to groan..great..that's all I need.
Suddenly the blonde let out a loud laugh, drawing our attention as she reached her long manicured nails out and slid them down Caspian's chiseled chest.
I felt a familiar feeling that I had pushed down so many times trying to fight its way up..nope..not going to let this happen..no way am I going to get jealous!
Suddenly Caspian's eyes snapped up towards me as I quickly looked away, turning my head towards Robin.
"Where's Ben and Alder?" I asked, trying to change the subject as Robin continued to glare at the new very friendly neighbors.
"They went to get beer with the new guy..oh god Jo, you missed it..he is like something out of Baywatch I swear..he even has an accent! He is from Australia.." She swooned, making me nod as I tried not to laugh at her reaction. "Come on, let's go in. Oh, do you want me to put some sunscreen on you?" Robin asked, surprising me with how nice she was being.
"Yes please..I feel like I'm already burning." I laughed and walked over to the umbrella-covered table where all the stuff was lined up with a few bottles of water and soda in a tub of ice as well.
"Okay take this off." She said while pulling at my swimsuit cover.
I nodded my head, feeling my stomach twist as I hoped no one was looking..but I knew someone was..like I always knew when be was staring.
I untied the string and slowly let the cover slip down my body and pool around my feet.
"Holy s**t Johnnie.." Robin gasped, and that's when there was a loud splash in the pool, causing me to turn around just as Caspian pulled himself out of the water and was now marching towards me.
"No f*****g way Turner..no way in hell are you wearing that." He suddenly boomed, making my mouth drop open as he rushed towards me, and before I knew it..I was promptly chucked over his shoulder like a damn sack of potatoes as he began marching into the house.
"What the heck Capsian!! Put me down!" I yelled before pounding my fists on his back.
That's when the most shocking thing ever happened.
Suddenly I felt a hard smack across my ass, making me yelp as I froze in place, trying to understand if that really happened or not.
"Stop thrashing around or I will spank you again Johnnie.." Caspian warned in a deep rumbling tone that traveled straight through me before settling into my core..well..that wasn't good.
He bounded up the stairs, making my head bob up and down as I tried to grip onto something..anything!
"Caspian!" I yelled once again and that's when he bypassed my room and went straight to his before chucking me on the bed, making me bounce on top of it.
"What is your problem?!" I gasped, seeing him now searching through a dresser before tossing a shirt and then shorts over his shoulder.
"Like hell she is wearing that type of s**t out there." He grumbled to himself, making me furrow my brow in confusion as I questioned if he had already gotten some form of heat stroke or something. "Arms up Turner." He snapped and stepped towards the bed. His dark blue eyes peered down at me intently as I continued just to stare at him in shock.
"W..What?" I asked, making him clench his jaw as I watched his handsome face fill with annoyance.
"Arms..up.." He commanded and before I knew it..my arms were high up in the air. How could he do that? Why did my body always do what he asked without me even thinking twice about it..
Caspian stepped forward, shoving a grey shirt over my body as he held out the shorts next.
"Give me your feet." He barked, making me sit there once again as he raised a questioning eyebrow.
I kicked my feet out, letting him put the swim trunks on me next as he reached out to help me stand.
That's when things got even more crazy..suddenly he kneeled down, his eyes focusing on the waistband of these humongous shorts as he pulled them tight, cinching them at my waist before tying them.
I looked down at Capsian in bewilderment as I watched his large hands gently loop the string together before pulling.
I couldn't help but inhale deeply, the scent of the ocean mixing with his manly cologne caused a shiver to tremble through me.
I had never been this up close and personal to Caspian..and my eyes quickly took advantage of the situation before drinking him in.
His shaggy wet black hair was framing his forehead as his handsome chiseled face relaxed while he finished tying the shorts and reached up to fix the shirt next.
Suddenly those blue orbs glided up, meeting my gaze as we stayed like this for who the hell knows how long..
All I knew was the air felt electrically charged....making my hair stand up on the back of my neck as my breathing grew heavy.
"Keep these on for the rest of the day..do you understand me?" He spoke firmly, his large hands resting on either side of my waist as all I could do was nod my head up and down hastily.
With that..Caspian stood up and walked out of the room...leaving me standing there as I tried to understand what the hell just happened..
Like seriously..what the hell just happened?!
Oh Caspian..seems like your facade is slipping!
