JAYDEN'S P.O.V.

After making a few calls, getting everything prepared and making sure that everything would be perfect, I decided to text Alisha and give her the details.

Jayden: Hey, beautiful.

Alisha: Hey.

Jayden: Does 9 pm Friday work for you?... I mean if that's not okay with you, if its not, we can take a rain check.

Alisha: 9 is good and Friday is perfect... I cant wait. See you then.

Jayden: See you then.

I grinned like a loon as I kept reading the conversation, keeping in mind that this was the first time that we had ever had a conversation that wasn't in person.

After that, the entire evening was uneventful. I just had dinner with my mom, kissed her goodnight and went to bed, thinking about how my date with Alisha would go.

That would have been a good night for me, but the thing was, thinking about her wasn't enough.

Not when I could just go right now and climb up her window and hold her in my arms. Yeah, that would be a real good night for me.

Nothing was stopping me from climbing out my window right ,now and get to her house.

Nothing except the fact that I would seem like a super obsessed stalker, but nothing about me from the past year seems normal anyway, so I shrug off the thought of me being a stalker.

Then again, I don't mind being a stalker if I could be her stalker, only hers, no one else's.

I was on my bed in nothing but boxers so I got up and threw some clothes, grabbing my bike keys while making my way out the window.

I didn't want to tell my mom anything, not because she'd stop me, which she probably wont,  but because she could be a lot nosey and it gets annoying.

As I was on my way, the cold night air just did something that made me feel at peace tonight.
I was riding fast, too fast because I loved the way it felt, like nothing could catch up to me like that.
The memories of the most terrible year of my life come flooding back and I push them away. I wasn't ready to take a trip to that part of memory lane and I don't think I would ever be.

I stopped in front of her house and just stayed out there for a while, contemplating whether to go in or not.

Fuck it!

I got off my bike and stalked toward the walls holding the gate. I was really tall so that was to my advantage. It was easier for me to climb over the wall.

I jumped off the wall, landed on my feet and continued stalking toward the side of the house where her window was and climbed yet again.

Lucky for me, her window was open so i just eased in and sat on the ledge.

There she was, the cutest and most beautiful thing I had ever seen lying down sleeping on her right side, hugging a pillow and her full pink lips slightly parted.

My heart strings were playing themselves as I took in the sight before me.

She mumbled something in her sleep but I still caught it "I don't want any nuts with my ice cream."

I chuckled and as if hearing me, she stirred.

Like magnetic force was attracting me to her,I stopped in front of her bed and placed my hand just above her head on the pillow.

She stirred in my direction and to my surprise, she called out my name.

"Jayden." like she was... searching for me.

My heart was skipping beats and doing things on its own accord, I had absolutely no control and just maybe I didn't want to.

Her hand found mine on her pillow and intertwined  our fingers. She let out a sigh, at the same time my heart leaped.

It had to be illegal that she could look so beautiful and make me like this even in her sleep. 

I leaned in to peck her lips and her eyes flew open.

Her bottle green eyes were filled with horror and I knew she was going to scream so I put my hand over her mouth.

So much for not a crazy obsessed stalker  at her house at twelve thirty in the morning. My subconscious taunts and I push it to the back of my head.

Her entire body immediately relaxes as soon as she sees its me. This time she was wearing pink and white checkered boxers and a pink tank top.
I really had to ask what she enjoyed about boxers, not that I mind.

The view is great.

Now that she was calm, I removed my hand from her mouth.

"What are you doing here?" She says trying to hide her smile but fails.
"Well, hello to you too." I say to her.

ALISHA'S P.O.V.

Last thing I remember was texting Jayden, eating dinner and going to bed.

I was in a sound sleep, dreaming of being offered cookie dough ice cream with brownies and nuts and I declined the nuts.

I felt some a pair of familiar lips on mine and as quickly as they came they left.

It was Jayden, but he couldn't be here. Meaning some stranger is in my room and just kissed me and will probably do much worse than just kiss me.

I quickly open my eyes and prepare to scream when the cool blue breezy scent of  said person hit my nostrils and his hand comes over my mouth to stop my outgoing scream.

I instantly relaxed.

"What are you doing here?" I wasn't in the least bit annoyed as I tried to hide my smile but to no avail.

"Well, hello to you too." he said, equally smiling at me.

He looked so good in his black sweatpants and green T shirt."What? Can't a guy climb up his girl friends window in the middle of the night just to see her beautiful face?" He said with a wink.

The butterflies fluttered again at the mention of the word 'girlfriend' but I have my pride so I didn't squeal in front him like I was doing in my head.

"Well it depends if said boyfriend is a handsome as mine." I shrug.

His eyes widen in surprise but quickly recover as they held a hint of challenge in them as he looked at me.

He stood up straight and looked down at me with an evil smirk on his face.
I knew what was coming next.

As expected, Jayden brought his hands to my stomach and started tickling me.

This time I wasn't doing to give up without a fight, I wouldn't budge.

I brought ma hands to his and started tickling him as well which  may or may not have been an excuse to touch his toned body.

This boy was hard all over. He must work out a lot and I mean a lot.

I was gasping for air as he continued tickling me and just continued smiling as I tickled him.

He was enjoying this, a little too much so I did the only thing that could catch him off guard.

I grabbed the neck of his T shirt and pulled him down to me. Looking into each others eyes, the moonlight from the window being the shade of light for his beautiful face.

We were so close, too close, but I liked it.

I liked the way it made me feel. I liked the way he made me feel.

It was like we were being pulled together by an attracting force, the space between us diminishing once again in this moment.

His lips found mine and lingered just a little while before claiming them.

He ignited the fire in me, one that I wasn't sure was there before.

His tongue passed across the seams of my lips and I opened up willingly.

His tongue began to work its magic, tasting all parts of my mouth.

He drew my bottom lip between his and sucked on it ever so slightly.

His rough hands roamed up and down my sides, spreading the fire that is Jayden.

He bit my bottom lip and continued in at a slow pace. Bite. suck. bite. suck.
I would never get enough of this, of him and all the things he does to me.

Before I even realized it, my hands were working their own magic, feeling his hard body above mine.

Every muscle toned, every deltoid, every ripple, all that is Jayden.
His scent is over whelming and I'm drowning in all that is him.

His hard muscles contract under my touch as he let out groan from the back of his throat and I'm pleased that I have just as much effect on him.

When he finally pulled away, we were both out of breath and panting.
His pink lips were red and swollen, which I was sure mirrored mine.

His eyes were a darker, deeper, more glassy shade of blue as he looked into mine.

He was lying over me with his shoulders as support and his lips broke into a smile.

"You don't play fair." He said, tucking a stray strand of hair behind my ear.

"All is fair in love and war." I say and peck his lips, proud of my comeback.

His eyes lit up as I said those words ,then I realized what I did.

I just indirectly told him I loved him.

Why didn't I feel bad about it?
I did mean it but he didn't need to know that. At least not yet.

Heck, I'm not even ready to admit it to myself yet. I just wanted to be in the moment.

He stayed there smiling at me for a few more minutes as I did him, before he rolled off me to lie on the bed.

He stared up at the ceiling, so did I.

His arm snaked around my waist as he drew me closer to him.

My body was securely against his, his arm keeping me there as he let out a sigh.

I turned around to face him.

"Are you ready for Friday?" He asked.
"I would be if I knew where we were going to." I said.

"It wouldn't be a surprise anymore if I told you. Now, would it ?" He said.

"Fine. Have it your way, but can you at least give me an idea of what I should wear?" I ask, really hoping he does.

"Come naked." He said and I gasp and playfully hit his chest.

"Ow!" He said, obviously pretending to be affected to not hurt my feelings.
"Be serious, Jayden." I snap.

"Fine. You can wear anything and you'd still look beautiful, but I think you should wear shorts. Short shorts." He said and I hoped he wasn't being serious and from the smirk on his face, I knew he was.

I secretly smiled and shook my head at him.

I really couldn't wait to see what he had in store for us on Friday.

Before I could ask, as I raised my head up to get a better view of his face, he was already asleep.

I decided to get some sleep as well.

JAYDEN'S P.O.V.

Alisha woke me up two hours later so I could go home.
I didn't want to but I had to, today was fucking Wednesday and I had to get ready for school.

I rode home with sleepy eyes.
When I got home, I didn't bother  climbing down the window, just waltzed through the front door, up the stairs to my room, straight to bed.

I plopped down on the bed and closed my eyes.

To my delight, the first face I saw when I did was Alisha's.

I loved how she smells, how her hair smells like lavender. Which by the way, is my new favourite scent.

With a smile on my face, I drifted off into sleep and let the darkness consume me.

********

Wednesday had passed and on Thursday I made more calls to make sure that all the arrangements for Friday were in order. They may not have been a spectacular as I had pictured but she the first girl I know that doesn't like being taken to restaurants as a first date.

Then again,  she's not like any girl I know.

We were in our last class of the day, chemistry.

The teacher was saying something on chemical equilibrium, Le Charteliers principle yadayadayada.

All I could focus on was the beautiful girl sitting beside me, nose buried in books and completely unaware of the fact that I cant stop staring at her.

Eventually, the bell rang and the night mare of a class ended and Alisha and I waited for everyone in the class to roll out.

We went to the parking lot to wait for Alessia..

"I can't wait for tonight."  she said as she tiptoed and kissed my cheek.

I put my arm around her waist and held her tight against me.

"Me either." I said and pecked her lips.

She looked up and smiled at me.
Her smiles are something that I just cant do without.

I feel happy when she smiles and even happier when I'm the cause.

When she's happy, I'm happy.

Alessia joined us and I offered to drop them off at home and as usual, it was me and Alessia against Alisha who always puts up a fight when I offer to drop them at home instead of then having to wait thirty minutes at the bus stop.

I dropped them off and reminded Alisha that I would pick her up at nine and left to get ready myself.

When I got home, my mom wasn't there so I assumed she would have gone to work or a meeting or something.

My theory was confirmed when I saw her text.

Mom:  Gone for a little while, had some business with the lawyer concerning the stuff. See you when I see  you.

The lawyers office was in another state so that meant she would be gone  for the  next few days.

My phone beeped again and it was another text from my mom.

Mom: P.S. I left some lasagna in the microwave for you.

I replied a quick ' thanks mom' before going to do as told.

When I finished eating dinner, it was already six thirty.

I went upstairs to work out, take a shower and a quick nap.

When I was done, it was already Eight thirty so I grabbed my bike keys and set off for Alisha's.

ALISHA'S P.O.V.

My head was spinning, my mind was in turmoil.

I didn't know what to wear for my date with Jayden which was why my mom and Alessia are in my room sitting on my bed helping  me pick an outfit and at the same time, laughing at my frantic state.

I would kill them if my mind wasn't in such a horrible state.

"How about this?" I say holding up a hanger holding blue crop top and another holding black short shorts.

My moms eyes widened at it, like she was surprised.

Alessia gave it a thumbs up,so I knew that was the outfit and paired it with some black gladiator sandals.

With one final assessment,  I shooed them out of my room and went  for a shower.

When I came out from the shower, it was already eight thirty.

Since I already knew what to wear, the only obstacle left was my hair.

I didn't know what to do with it so I curled it and let it flow down.

I got dressed and with one last look in the mirror, I put on some lip balm and made  my way down stairs.

As I got to the living room, my mom was talking to Jayden.

"She should be down any minute now." my mom said.
Jayden nodded.

Just then, his eyes landed on me and went wide.

They looked like they were going to fall out of his head. I bit the inside of my cheek to stop my upcoming laughter.

He looked so good in his white T shirt and black ripped jeans.

His hair looked  even more fantastic and his blue eyes lit up immediately he saw me.

My mom and sister followed his line of sight and smiles instantly grew on their faces as they waggled their eyebrows at me.

Just fucking kill me.

JAYDEN'S P.O.V.

I got to Alisha's a fifteen minutes before nine I got off my bike and went through the gate.

I went into the house and Alisha's mom greeted me with a hug. I sat down and she told me that Alisha would be down in a few minutes.

True to what she said, Alisha came down the stairs almost immediately after that.

She looked so beautiful.

I think my eyes may have just popped out of their sockets and my tongue dropped  to the floor.

She looked so ... wow!

Before registering my actions, I got to my feet and stalked toward her and pulled her in my arms.

She  said a quick good bye to her mom and Alessia before we went outside.

"Where's your car?" she asked when she didn't see  my black range rover sports anywhere outside.

"Were walking." I said, hoping to tease her a bit.

"Okay, Let's go" she said, looking totally unfazed. Just pure excitement in her eyes.

She started walking and I grabbed her by her arm and pulled her back, against my chest.

"I was just kidding." I said to her and pecked her lips.

"I brought my bike." I said  gesturing to the black and silver power bike next to the gate.

She smiled at me and my heart stopped.

A good stop, that makes me want to leap in the air.

"Lets go." she said pulling me toward it.

We stood near it and I handed her a helmet.

"You have to hold on to me. Tight." I said emphasizing the last part.

ALISHA'S P.O.V.

We left the house a little bit later and Jayden wasn't kidding about the whole hold on tight thing.

Well, he was but it was also helpful. We were riding so fast, I felt like my face was turning inside out.

Not that I minded being so close to him and to have his cool scent fill my nose again.

We came to a stop sooner than I would have liked.

We pulled up to a dark street alley. It gave up this spooky vibe that if I didn't know any better or didn't trust Jayden as much as I did, I would have thought he brought me here to kill me and then sell my body parts.

"Come on." he said as he helped me down the bike.

I followed him deeper down into the alley.

When we reached the end, there was a man probably Indian, selling food to a lot of hungry customers.

He was selling Indian food. I wasn't a fan of street food, but I guess there's a first time for everything.

Jayden stretched his hand out to me, waiting for me.

I gladly took it and followed him to a corner of the alley.

There was a small matted hammock with two plates of food Indian food on it and some tiny candles surrounding the whole thing.
Rose petals just made it all the more beautiful and they were spread everywhere.

I walked toward it, my hand still in his. As far as first dates go.

This one will always remain with me. It wasn't about the dark, kind of mystic, romantic ambience and being alone with him here.

It was just the fact that he was here. Heck, we could be behind garbage and I'd still go as long as he was beside me.

"Do you like it?" He said, his voice snapping me out of my thoughts.

"I know its not much but-"  I cut him off as I smashed my lips against his.

"Its beautiful, Jayden. Thank you." I said to him.

"We have fifteen minutes to spend here and we'll go to the other surprise." He informed me.

"How did you know I would like this? Why didnt you just take me to a fancy restaurant like they do in the movies?" I said gesturing to the whole setup.

"How could I? Remember the first time we talked about what we would want in a relationship?" he asked  and I nodded.

"You said you didn't like fancy restaurant dates." He said, nothing but love and sincerity in his eyes. Tears threaten to spill.

"How could you really remember that?" I asked because it seemed so long ago when we had that conversation.

He leaned in and planted his lips on mine. That was it for me.

I turned to mush right there.

When he pulled away, he rested his forehead against mine and pecked my lips one last time.

"I remember because I remember every single conversation we've had since the day I met you." He said.

That was it for me, tears found their way down my face.

He brushed them aside and kissed my closed eyelids.

I really couldnt help it. I pulled him into me and wrapped my arms around him, trying to see if I squeeze hard enough, maybe we would become one.

He didnt complain, just held me close to him and kissed my hair.

We sat down and ate the food which I now know was called Daal.

This was the kind of date I liked, we were really close to eachother, we could touch each other without worrying about anyone looking at us strangely.

Hell, I could laugh as loud as I want while we here. We could kiss when we wanted to.

All the more reason to savour this moment.

Jayden told me it was time for the  second suprise and with a heavy heart, i followed him outside the alley back to his bike.

"Where are we going this time?" I ask, eagerly excited to know what the next surprise was.

"Eager?" He teased  and I nod like a five year old being offered a jar of candy..

We got on and rode off.

This ride being just as fast as the first.
We pulled up at the end of a road and got off.

"Were walking from here." He announced, intertwining our fingers as we walked.

The closer we got, the closer the beach at the end came into view.

The view was stunning.

The waves moved back and forth  in the bed. The moon sat just above the water surrounnded by stars.

I was too busy taking in the view that I didn't notice the blue blanket laid across the sand with a small picnic basket on it.

This coud be no ones doing except this wonderful boy by my side.

When the blanket was in sight, he stopped me.

I was confused then  he looked into my eyes and carried me bridal style the rest of the way.

He gently placed me on the blanket and sat down next to me.

I was in awe, taking in the veiw.
He layed back against the tree and I  moved to the space in between his legs and sat there laying back against his chest and  his arms snaked around my waist.
I sighed.

We talked about anything and everything,  I was actually enjoying every moment of this, with him.

I wanted nothing more.

"I want to go for a swim. You?" he asked.
I shook my head to say no.

He got up and tugged his shirt off, down went the shorts as well.

With a shout, he ran into the water and I had fun watching him.

The water made his brown hair look black under the moonlight.

He looked so peaceful, without a care in the world.

Hot but peaceful.

"Come in and swim too. The waters warm , it wont bite."  he coaxed as he winked at me.
He switched to pouting at  me and giving me the pupppy dog eyes.
They always work everytime.

I pulled my shirt over my head and pulled my shorts down.

In only my bra and panties, I stalked toward the water fully aware of his beautiful eyes on me.

He stretched his hands out to me and gladly welcomed me in his embrace.

I  should have been scared or embarrased but with Jayden, it felt natural.

"Youre so beautiful." he said as he wrapped his arms tight around me.

He brought his hand to the back of my bra and turned me around to face him.

His blue eyes asking for permission and I nod.

In a swift movement, he unclasped my bra and pulled it off.

His eyes went wide for the third time today.

I couldn't look into his eyes so I looked into the water.

He brought his hand to my chin to make me look at him.

"You dont need to be ashamed in front of me. Please." he  said with so much conviction in his eyes.

JAYDEN'S P.O.V.

I really didn't expect he to come in the water but I was glad she did.

When she allowed me remove her bra, I was honoured.

I felt special that I was the first person to ever see her like that, vulnerable.

She cant look at me and I knew what was going through her  mind so I lifted her chin and made her look me in the eye.

I  told her to not be ashamed in front of me and I meant every word.

She was really beautiful, a walking eight. Every dip every curve of her body, Ive come to appreciate.
Every part of her was beautiful.

ALISHA'S P.O.V.

Jayden leaned in and claimed my lips with his.

He coaxed me to open and I gave in to him.

His stron arms pulled me closer to him, our bare chests touching, completely pushing out any space that was between us before.

His tongue didn't move at the slow and steady pace it always did.

This pace was much faster much more demanding, like he wasn't  waiting anymore.

He had what he always wanted and he wont let it go,savouring every bit of it. At the same time igniting a fire in me, a fire that dangerously spread through my body from my head  to my toes.

I was lost in all that was Jayden and didnt want to be found.

"Kiss me. Please." he begged and I couldnt deny him.
For the first time since our relationship started, I kissed him back.

I moved my tongue, trying to match his pace and he let out a groan that amplified the fire that was already coursing through me.

I realized that he was following a rythm and it was the rhythm of our heart beats.

I kissed him back  with everything I had in me.

At this point, my knees had given up and the only thing holding me up was Jayden.

With one last bite of my lip, he pulled away.

He rested his forehead against mine and pulled me closer to him and kissed my hair.

"Youre beautiful, Alisha. Dont ever forget it." he said as he carried me up in his arms bridal style.

We got dressed and Jayden took me home.

When we got to my house, it was two in the morning.

"Thank you, Jayden. I had a nice time. It was amazing." I said.

"There's no need to thank me. Seeing you smile is its own reward"  He said and my heart melted all over again.

I kissed him on the cheek and turned to go before he held me back.

He shook his head no and tapped his lip with his index finger.

I rolled my eyes and sighed before I kissed  him on the lips.

He finally let me go and I turned behind me to wave him goodbye and went inside.

Mom and Alessia were in bed and since the gate was open, I let myself in and made my way to my room.

JAYDEN'S P.O.V.

After dropping Alisha at home, i went home and straight to bed.

There were so many things I wanted to say to her but I chose to keep my mouth shut.

Not because I was scared of rejection,okay...maybe a little. But because I knew it wasnt the right time.

She was so beautiful,as the images of Alisha on the beach flood my mind and I  drift off into sleep with a smile plastered on my face.

A/N:
