Dive Into The Deep End Chapter Eight.

So I know that I have been really bad about updating this story and for that I apologise. I was trying to get a update done for my other story and I checked on this one and saw the comment and was very motivated by it so that's why there has been two updates so close together. Hope you enjoy this one!

I sat for a second and tried to catch my breath. I was sure that I had been hearing things but there came another soft knock. I got out of bed and went to the door not sure who I would find on the other side. I cracked open the door and was surprised to see Jordan standing out in the hallway. I went to ask him what he was doing and he put his finger up to his lips to quiet me. I did as he motioned and stepped back to let him in. He went around me and sat on the bed and patted the spot next to him. He didn't say anything for a minute as he looked everywhere but at me and I started to figgit from nerves.

" God I've always hated the way that my mom decorated this room." he whispered softly

My jaw practically hit the floor. This could not be the reason why he snuck into my room in the middle of the night. He finally looked at me and said outloud what I had just been thinking

" The real reason that I knocked on your door tonight is that I've been wanting to do something and I know I won't be able to sleep until I do it."


I tensed as he scooted closer and put his large hand on my face. I found myself turning my face into his palm as he rubbed his thumb along my cheek. I wasn't sure if it was the moonlight coming through the window or the situation we found ourselves in but his eyes seemed to be a darker shade of blue than usual. He leaned down and rubbed his forehead against mine before he gently placed his lips on mine. The contrast of his soft lips and rough hand on my skin felt wonderful and I couldn't help but deepen the kiss. His hand moved from my face and into my hair and I responded by wrapping my arms around his waist. We finally broke apart only because we both needed to breath. I wasn't sure what to say and I didn't want to ruin the moment by saying something stupid so I just leaned against his broad chest. After a few minutes our breathing finally returned to normal.

" I should probably go back to my room before we both get in trouble." he whispered as he untangled his arms from around me

" Yeah that's probably a good idea." I agreed

" I'll see you in the morning." he said as he stood up to leave.


He went to the door and gave me a smile which I returned before he stepped out of view as quietly as he could manage. I was happier than I had been in a long time and I was glad that no one was around to see me because I knew that I had to be grinning like an idiot. I had alot of questions that I knew I was going to have to get anwsered but for now I was content to let things be uncomplicated.


When I woke up the next morning I was positive that I had dreamed the whole thing. I groaned as I looked at my clock and saw that it was only seven in the morning. The boys said that they had something planned for us to do but no one would tell me what it was. Jordan hadn't really acknowledged me but I knew what happened the night before was real when I felt his hand close over mine and squeeze it just for a second before letting go. My skin tingled at the contact and I had to stifle the smile that threatned to break out on my face.





" Hey mom we can still use the van right?" Eric asked





" Yep, just get back at a decent hour and make sure that you bring it back with a full tank.





He agreed and Marc grabbed a bag and a cooler. I was told to get in and to stop asking so many questions. I climbed in and Jordan piled in beside me. He leaned against me and used the excuse that he had to so he would have room to stretch his long legs out. We drove for almost fifteen minutes before we pulled up in front of a store. I raised my eyebrows at them when I was told that we had to go inside and buy some stuff before we could continue. I followed them all in and was told that I would need a bathing suit and some water shoes.





" I don't have any money though." I protested





" Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it" Eric said





" Yeah remember he's a hotshit nhl player now so he can afford it." Jared snorted





I shook my head and decided not to waste my time arguing with them. I knew if I did that they would all just gang up on me and get their way anyway. I found the appropriate section and started to look. I wasn't really liking anything that I found and after a few minutes they all wandered over to where I was still standing.





" Come on. Just pick one already. It's not that big of a deal." Marc complained





I sighed. They were guys so they wouldn't get it and it was no use trying to explain it to any of them. I grabbed a bikini in a royal blue that was my size and went and grabbed some water shoes so we could leave. It didn't take long to get to the place where they had decided to take me to. It was nice beach on Lake Superior. I went to one of the bathrooms to change and when I came back the guys had already changed and were unloading the cooler.





" Holy shit. You look really hot." Marc said as he looked me up and down with a grin. Jordan knocked into him with the cooler almost knocking him right over. I really didn't want to get into the water so I laid out one of the towels that they had brought with and enjoyed the sun. I laid on my stomach so I could watch the guys mess around in the water. Apparently they were having a contest to see who could drown who first. I closed my eyes and I'm not sure how long it was but when I opened my eyes I saw Jordan and Eric standing over me.





" Can I help you guys with something?" I asked as I looked up at them





" Yeah you should really get in the water with us." Eric said





" I really don't feel like it but thanks for the offer." I said as I flipped over onto my back and propped myself up on my elbows.





Before knew what the hell was going on I felt myself being grabbed under my arms and by my feet. I shrieked and tried thrashing out of their grip but it didn't even begin to have any effect. They carried me out to waist deep water before dropping me. I went completely under the water and came up coughing from the water I had swallowed. I managed to stand up and they all started to laugh and I was pissed off.



" What the fuck is wrong with you two. I told you that I didn't want to come in." I yelled at them

Their smiles started to fade as I stomped out of the water and grabbed my towel before heading off to the bathrooms. I heard someone yell my name but I ignored it. It only took a few seconds before I felt a hand on my arm.

" Hey Mel. Wait up. We were just playing around. I didn't think that you would get so mad."

I knew that I was being stupid but I had a valid reason for being mad

" I can't swim." I said under my breath, trying to not be embarrased

" Really?" he asked me. He had a look on his face like I had just said the stupidest thing ever

" I was afraid of the water when I was a kid so I never took lessons." I said trying to not sound as cranky as I knew I was

His response was to scoop me up bridal style and head back to the water.

" If you drop me in the water again I will kill you I swear." I said as my grip tightened around his neck

" I won't I promise. I'm going to teach you how to swim."

We spent almost an hour with him trying to teach me to swim and by the end I still didn't really know how to swim but at least I felt a little less likely to drown. The other guys had kept a respectful distance away. They got out of the water a little while later to eat something but we decided to stay in for a little bit longer. I wrapped my arms and legs around him as he moved us both out to water that was deeper. The minute that his brothers were out of sight his lips met mine. I drew his body against mine as close as I could manage and ran my fingers through his hair as I returned the kiss. His hands wandered down to my ass and gave me a gentle squeeze through the thin material of my bathing suit.

" I've been wanting to do that since I woke up this morning." he said breathlessly into my ear as he kissed the side of my neck.

" I was almost convienced that last night was a dream" I admitted not looking him in the eye

" Why?" he asked as he grabbed me by the chin and tilted my head up so I was forced to look at him

" Because I don't deserve someone as sweet and caring as you." I told him as tears threatned to spill from my eyes

" That isn't true. I believe that despite what you want people to think that you are a good sweet girl that can do anything that she puts her mind to. And did I mention beautiful too?

I buried my head in the crook of his neck and willed myself not to cry. I had people in the past that had tried to break through my walls but no one had succeeded until now. The words that he had said meant more to me than he could ever know. Unfortuanatly the moment was ruined by stomach grumbling loudly
" I guess we should get something to eat." he said with a laugh

" That's probably a good idea."

We made it to the shore without any problems. We went through the cooler and picked out a couple of sandwhichs that his brothers had missed. I made small talk as we sat there and I tried not to stare at the way his muscles in his chest flexed everytime he moved or the way that his ass filled out his swim trunks. I looked at him out of the corner of my eye when I thought that no one was paying attention but when I looked ahead I saw Eric giving me a knowing look. felt myself blush and I knew with that one look that he knew. I prayed that he wouldn't say anything to anyone. I couldn't see Jordan's parents being very happy with their son dating someone that was living with their family and as much as I liked Jordan I didn't want to go back to my old life.
