It's been ages since I've been in a halfpipe or to be precise a pool. Or been able to grind somewhere decently (and I'm talking about my board not on a guy). Back home we don't have skateparks and grinding some small stairs or the pavements isn't the same. God, I have missed this, last time I've been to a skatepark the world was different for me.

Evans is keeping up quite well, better than I would have ever imagined. He is skilled with the board, but no where near my level. It's still fun with him.

We take a small break, sitting near the pool to have a drink.

"Gosh you did kick my ass in. Is it bad I find it hot, to be defeated by a girl on a skateboard?"

He makes me blush. "Nope, it would be terrible if you'd hate me, because I am better in skating."

"Your heelflip, tailslide and nosegrind are nearly perfect. Never seen it done so good before", Evans admires my stunts.

From behind us I hear a familiar voice appear. "You know mine are perfect."

Both of us turn around. Oh my god, this evening had started off so well, now I'm in my own fucking hell. Skating with the boy I am perhaps interested in and now my ex appearing whom I accidentally fucked several times two nights ago. Of course Jake is here, he's a skater boy always has been. There are three fucking skateparks here, why does it have to be this one?

Because it's probably the best you bitch my subconsciousness screams back at me. Right now, I feel the urge to slam my head against my board, which is currently on my lap.

"Hey Jake, you might have recognized her from the party, this is Sam. Sam this is my mate Jake?"

"Hey", I say hoping not to give anything away and praying Jake will keep his mouth shut.

"So, you two are dating?"

Gosh please let a lightning strike me right here and now. Fuck I don't know what to answer and Evans isn't really reacting either. A smirk appears on Jake's face.

"So difficult to answer, huh?"

"We only met beginning of this week. Evans lives above me", of course Jake knows that, I just hope he gets the hint.

"Yeah, I thought Sam and I could do something together."

"So, it is a date. Weird place for a date, thought you go for places like restaurants, cinemas etc. for first dates. Or if you do it like me, just fuck in the apartment."

I choke on my coke. Thank god Evans doesn't realize how tense the air around us has gotten.

"Shut up man, not everyone's like you. And it was Sam's idea to come here. Guess she wanted to challenge me and kick my ass", he chuckles. "You should have seen her."

"Oh, I did. Mind if I steal your girl shortly for a small challenge myself? Been a while since I've skated with a girl."

Fuck I start choking again. "You ok?", Evans asks concerned.

"Uh.... yeah, sorry seems like I got the coke down wrong and can't get rid of it properly."

"You in with the challenge SAM?", he says my name in a very weird way, making clear he won't take no for an answer.

My eyes dart over towards Evans, he doesn't seem to suspect anything. Instead he sends me a reassuring smile. "She's going to kick your ass, not something you are used to mate", he says directed at Jake.

Honestly, I do feel like kicking his ass and as he won't take no for an answer anyway I get up.

"Ok, I'll beat your ass Skater boy", he smirks with my answer. I know he is loving this.

Fuck I don't know what the hell I am getting myself into with Jake. Maybe I should just go ahead and tell Evans what happened. Then again, he doesn't deserve it. Even only meeting him four days ago, I know he's a good guy.

Once we are far enough away, Jake starts talking.

"Should have known you'd come here sooner or later."

"Yeah and I should have fucking known you'd be here. Another mistake on my side. Keep away from me Jake."

"Sorry this is just as much a coincidence as on the party. Guess we won't be able to avoid each other here anyway." While I feel like I'm going to lose it any second, Jake's voice comes out ever so calm.

"Yeah, so why don't you just move away? You know how to do that best anyway and ignore me. Wasn't too hard when I needed you."

"Sam, I am sorry."

"Shove it up your ass, I don't care. And now shut up, I am so going to kick your ass", I can clearly feel all my anger inside fuelling me.

Jake can't hold back a laugh. Fucking idiot.

"You look damn hot by the way. And I like your tatts."

"Shut up and get started."

"Uhh Baby I would, but doubt your Evans would like to watch."

"Leave your fucking dick out of this."

"Ok Skater girl, ladies first."

I take my board and start off with a flip, taking up speed to drop in the pool taking enough speed to do a 360 indy on the other side after landing smooth I do a couple more tricks. Jake joins me in the pool, he's definitely kept up training too. I exit the pool with a grind heading for the grind facilities combining different grind styles after each other. In the background I hear Evans whistle.

After about twenty minutes, I must admit I am sweating like hell. I kept up full speed all the time. Jake backs down too. We head back direction Evans.

"Been a long time. I really missed that."

"Fuck off Jake", I try to say silent, so Evans won't hear us.

"See Jake, I told you she'd kick your ass."

"Oh yes she did, I must admit to that. Been a long time I've seen someone so talented."

"Evans, I am really hungry. Do you mind if we leave for a hot dog or something?"

If I don't get away here as fast as possible, I might just end up punching Jake's face or puking over him. Evans seems happy about my request, thankfully without suspecting anything.

"See you soon skater girl", Jake says with a wink and a smirk I would love to smash off his face.

He has no idea I've been doing MMA for three years now. At the moment my fantasies are telling me all kinds of things to do with his face and balls. And none of those fantasies have to do with his satisfaction, only my own satisfaction against my anger.

"What were you two talking about so long beforehand? You know he's the guy from the party, right?"

Trying not to give anything away, I keep it simple. "Yeah, I know it's him. I was telling him I can't wait to smash his ego. He wouldn't believe me, guess I taught him a lesson. He won't be too pleased to be beaten by a girl. Unlike you his ego is too boosted. He doesn't know how to treat girls."

Evans chuckles. "Glad you think this way. Jake isn't a bad guy, but he definitely has a problem when it comes down to girls. And he sure is used to getting what he wants."

"I know." Shit that was a damn stupid answer, Evans looks up at me. "I mean I could see that on the party. Honestly three girls at a time? I know this is college and it's all about having fun in life, but three girls at once?"

Evans shrugs. "Honestly? I don't quite get it either. I'm no angel either, not going to lie. But Jake no doubt is way over the top. No idea what's going on in his mind."

"Well let's stop talking about him anyway. Tell me something about yourself. I know you like tatts, parties and skating. What else?"

After eating our hot dog, we stroll along for a whole while talking. Evans is in his second year studying architecture and wants to specialize on historical architecture.

"Guess Oxford must be a very interesting place for you then. The architecture here is amazing."

"And there is so much history to be told. It's not just the actual buildings, it's the story behind them and it's fascinating to see how throughout history the architecture has changed. Have you been to the Christ church yet?"

"Nope, sadly only past it."

"I'll take you there someday. There's so much history behind it. We'll have to go there when the bells ring, it's awesome."

The way he talks with so much awe, you can tell it's his passion. We end up sitting in the park near our house. Seems like we like a lot of the same movies and series too, even if he can't get my passion about Marvel movies or Shadowhunters.

"How can you not like Marvel movies?", I nearly say upset only causing him to laugh.

"Batman and Co. are cooler."

"Oh come on, don't tell me you think Superman is cooler than Iron Man or Hulk or Thor. There's Spiderman, Dr Strange, Hawkeye, Deadpool of course Captain America and so many more. Batman or Superman can't ever keep up with them."

He laughs about my eagerness. "You are cute when you are so agitated. Just for this reason I'll try to like Marvel in future."

His words make me blush and I give him a warm smile. Even if my intentions in Oxford were to only keep up one-night stands. I have to admit I like him and his way to behave with me.

We stay sat for a whole while just talking until way past midnight. When he drops me off at my doorstep, I can tell he is reluctant whether to kiss me or not. His eyes are focused on mine, they are nice warm and friendly eyes. But I can't help and think about those fucking green eyes, which are burnt into my soul.

Feeling guilty I lower my gaze. "Guess I should get into bed."

I hear him sigh. "Yeah me too. It's been an interesting evening. I've never had a girl asking me to take her to a skatepark", he chuckles. "Guess I'll need to take some lessons by you, so my ass doesn't get kicked so easily again."

"Happy to teach you anytime, or to kick your ass again", I chuckle.

He gives me a quick peck on the cheek. "Good night Skater girl."

Oh no, please don't use that term. But I can't tell him. I can't say: Hey please don't call me that, as your friend Jake is my ex and that was his term for me for years.

Pushing my thoughts aside I simply reply with a "Good night Evans", before entering my apartment.

Taking a deep breath, I lean my back against the door, while palming my face. For fucks sake this sure as hell, is going to end in a disaster.

I wish I could just tell him, but then I would have to tell him more about myself. And I would have to tell him about what happened after the party. This is never going to happen. Fuck I've messed this up.

The other problem is, with his peck as sweet as it was, I couldn't feel the fire. No doubt I like him, but is it enough? I should have taken my chance at the party, had sex with him and leave it after that. It would have been fun, easy and then done. Now it's complicated.

He's damn hot, friendly, witty and intelligent. Perhaps I just need some more dates with him? Some more time out with him can't harm me, can it?

Once I'm lying in my bed, I decide to text him.

Thanks for taking me to the skatepark. Enjoyed it :)

Again, it only takes seconds for him to reply.

Anytime!!! Never enjoyed my ass being kicked in as much as today ;)

Good!!! Because you'll have to get used to it.

Does this mean, you will kick my ass more often? (I am begging for it, just in case you don't realize)

Perhaps ;)

You are killing me, leaving me in the loops!

Not very patient?

No, but trying hard. Seems worth it ;)

Oh my god, this isn't about skating anymore. This was more than obvious. How do I respond to this?

Need to sleep, quite exhausted. Good night Evans :)

Ok. Good night Statement girl!!! I'll be dreaming of my ass being kicked in.

Oh please, no nightmares!!!! Sleep well :)

If it's you kicking my ass in, I assure you I am looking forward to that dream ;) Can't wait to see you!!! Sweet dreams

He's cute but this doesn't make me feel any less guilty. What would he think, if he knew I spent time with my ex during our date today?

Feeling restless again I toss and turn, constantly seeing green eyes in front of me, unable to fall asleep. Why the hell does he still haunt me like this?

Authors note: Ok, while writing I always had to think of this song, even if the text isn't quite matching?

So what do you think about this date? It sure isn't typical. Should Sam be acting more the romantic girlie type?
