A/N Aahhh!! So sorry if this is bad! It's not edited and it was kinda rushed... Give me your honest opinion.
Laura's POV
We've been playing truth or dare for an hour now and I'm pretty bored. They keep doing really gross dares like: licking the bottom of someone else's shoe, getting wet willy'd by everyone in the group and so forth.
The whole time I've been feeling Ross' eyes on me. And sure enough, every time I look up, my eyes meet his hazel ones.
What's up with him?
"Laura!" I hear someone call me.
"Yeah?" I mumble.
"Truth or dare?" Riker asks me.
I don't respond. I am still too busy thinking about Ross.
"Earth to Laura," he snaps his fingers. "Pay attention."
I snap out of my trance. "Sorry..but honestly this is just getting really boring."
"Yeah." I hear Ross say.
"Too boring huh?" Riker grins. "Fine. Truth or dare?"
I know he's gonna do something hardcore. I'd rather do something gross than admit something. So I say, "Dare."
He looks at me then Ross. "Since this is too boring, how about you two take a plunge at the beach?"
"Seriously?" I ask. "That's crazy.."
"You gotta do it." I hear Rydel and Maia say. They are so getting it later.
"I'll do it." Ross says, looking at me.
"But you don't have to, it's not even your turn." Rocky says.
I ignore Rocky's comment and look at Ross and without thinking I say, "Me too."
"C'mon!" Rydel says, "Borrow one of my swimsuits!"
I shrug and follow her into the house, the whole group behind us.
The group heads out to the beach and I pick out a red bikini from Dell's closet.
I can't believe I'm doing this... But it seems kinda fun to be honest.
I've never gone into the beach this late.
I put on the bikini and set my stuff in Rydel's room.
As I walk out, a rush of cold air wraps my body.
So cold... But it feels kinda nice..
I walk to where the group is and I see Ross in his swim trucks.
God he looks hot shirtless. His abs are porcelain and his muscles are very tight.
"Go." Zayn said, eyeing me up and down.
I walk towards Ross and his eyes are wide, looking at my body up and down.
"You sure about this?" Ross whispers at me.
"Nope." I whisper back, and run into the ocean.
As soon as I touch the water I'm surprised. The water feels very warm.
Nice.
I dive in and then splash back up to see Ross inside the water too, next to me.
"That looks like fun!" I hear the group back at the sand say.
"Let's go get dressed." Rydel says and they all charge for the house, leaving Ross and I alone.
Awkward.
Ross opened his mouth to talk but I said, "You don't have to feel sorry about me. I'm good."
I started swimming out to the sand when he pulled me back.
"No Laur... I was just gonna say that the moon looks beautiful tonight."
I look up and the moon looks perfect. Full, white and bright.
"Yeah.." I reply.
"Laura." Ross says.
"Yeah?" I look at him.
"I made a mistake." He says, looking right at me, some of his joker makeup from earlier still on his face.
"What do you-" I start.
Suddenly I feel his hands pull me closer to him in the water and I gasp.
I look up at him confused and he wears a serious face, looking right back at me.
He starts leaning in and I do too.
As soon as our lips touch I'm in heaven.
He smiles into the kiss as I wrap my arms around his neck and tug at his hair slightly.
I feel fireworks in my stomach and my whole body is on overdrive.
Our lips move in sync and I swear I have never tasted something as good as him.
He pulls me closer and licks my bottom lip, asking for entrance.
I'm about to open my mouth when I realize what is happening.
I pull away from him and say, "What the fuck is wrong with you?"
"I made a mistake Laura." He pleads, coming closer to me.
"What mistake?" I ask.
"Laura....I....I...I like you." He says, looking very vulnerable.
My heart stops. He-he likes me? He likes me?!
I'm bursting with joy but as I'm about to tackle him with kisses, my mind caches up with me.
"Ross, I'm not here to play games. You can't not like me and then like me all of the sudden." I say.
"Laura I wasn't like that...I..I've liked you this whole time."
I freeze, "Then.....why did you hurt me like that? For no reason?"
My voice comes out very small and weak.
Ew.
"It's complicated... And there is a reason." He starts, scratching his head.
"Of course." I roll my eyes. "Ross if there's gonna be any chance with us you need to be honest. Tell me. I'm letting you explain yourself."
"I...I don't want to." He says.
"I understand." I say, swimming away from him.
"Wait Laur.." He says pulling my leg.
"What?"
"Why do you care?"
"I care because this..whatever this is, is so important that it kept you from sharing your feelings. And....well I-I want to help you deal with it."
He comes closer to me and takes my hand, "Fine I'll..tell you. But later."
We look over and see the group running over here with their swim stuff.
"Okay... But one question. When did you realize you made a mistake?" I ask.
He clenches his jaw. "When....you kissed Zayn."
"What?" I smile, "You were jealous?"
"Yeah....kinda."
"Well....between you and I..our kiss was a billion times better." I spill.
I close my eyes, instantly regretting what I just said.
"Really?" He smirks, "I'll have to do it again sometime."
"Don't get any ideas. This doesn't mean we're together. At least for now."
"Okay." He pouts.
The group then jumps in and Ross and I separate for the rest of the time.
But as I'm hanging with Delly, I can't help but think about what Ross is gonna tell me....Was it really that bad? What kept him from me?
Oh well. I'll worry about it when the time comes.
Right now all I want to do is keep feeling butterflies. Ross Lynch likes me.
That boy likes me...
Wait....Ross LYNCH likes me?!
He's a Lynch...
Son of....Stormie.....
Crap.
