****************************

2 Years ago if Jeremy was mentioned in any conversation at all, my mind would quickly picture a slim tall 18 year old with dirty blonde hair and cardigans, not a trouble maker and really shy.

Now

Well now, he was the exact opposite. The Jeremy I knew will never knock my door and just stand there smiling but here he was and his outfit was put together perfectly too "What do you want Jeremy?"

"Was just checking in on you" he smiled and ran a hand through his hair as he rested on the open door frame" is that such a bad thing to do"

"Well as a matter of fact it's twelve past nine.. you should be in bed" I said my hands folded above my chest like my mom does when she was about to scold me

"Yea I know that and that's why I'm here.. I wanna be in your bed" he leaned closer till he was no feet apart from me. He was much taller now so I looked up while talking and changed positions when I saw he was too close to me now he was inside and I was outside my room. Great but he was still inches apart from me.

"Its not going to work jer" I said stating the obvious

"You haven't called me that in a while" he replied his facial expression showed amazement of the minimum level

"That's cause I haven't seen you in a while and I don't play these games anymore" I informed him

"What games?" He smirked as he tried playing the I don't know what your talking about role.

"Oh common it's obvious you are playing 5 over 5 with me" his smirk faded into a puzzled expression so I added "You know the 5 senses theory what you see, smell, taste, hear and feel" he didn't budge he just stood there much to my fustration then he smiled

"Look I just came to ask you out for coffee " his smiled broader trying to look innocent but I knew well behind that facade of his

"Seriously! Jeremy coffee at night?" I asked amused at his funny lie

"Well would you prefer a drink at the bar?" He asked as he leaned forward

"No, I would prefer to be on my bed ...sleeping!" I raised my voice a little knowing fully well what he really wanted wasn't a drink but to play a stupid game that messed with his mind years ago.

I wasn't gonna let my mind be messed with. .not this night.

"Do i smell ketchup on a CHICKEN?" He asked

"What?!"

"I said do I now have the gift of talking to chickens?" He moved closer igniting the competition spirit in me

Nobody calls Ivy Briggs a CHICKEN..

Nobody

I hated being called a chicken and i decided to cast care to the wind.. I was going to play the game

"Jeremy Tinland I kicked your ass before and I will kick your ass again tonight " I told him looking straight into his eyes as I showed him my fierce expression

"Bring it on baby" his words released minty breath on my entire face.

Moments later, we sat at the bar by the pool, the bartender gave us the menu and the options were more inspiring to the game than to my taste buds.

I went through the list of cocktails and saw the most bizarre names of drinks

"I think we'll have a 'SLOE COMFORTABLE SCREW AGAINST THE WALL" he ordered trust him now to make fun of the names.

"I will just have SOMETHING DIFFERENT" I said and crossed my legs. It made the silk material of my gown tilt up and exposed half of my thighs. He noticed.

Great

"Maybe you should give us SEX ON THE BEACH" he said and used his toes to trail a path down from my ankle down to big toe.

Screw Jack's!!

"I would like a VIRGIN MADRAS" I emphasized so he could get the point

"Oh ok " he shrugged "then we could have a mixture of  SLOW SCREW and a FUZZY THING" he dropped the menu as he folded the sleeves of his cotton v-neck shirt up exposing his nicely built arms whilst he maintained eye contact

"Jeremy stop using we in your sentence" I faced him and bent over to give him the view underneath my dress since it had a nice cleavage exposure He had been peeping at. He cleared his throat. I turned to the waiter "I'll have a WIKI WAKI WOO"

I was totally winning this one.

"You know Ivy I can do a lot of things in the bar too.. how about i get in there and make you a WET PUSSY" he smirked when my eyes jolted wide apart.

DaFuq!!!

"There's no way that's in the menu" I complained before going through the list and it was there as crazy as it sounds a cocktail was named like that. my curiosity was all I wanted to try that drink but my eyes caught another funny cocktail.

I wore a devilish grin "maybe I should give you what you already have a SLOPPY DICK"  I winked

The horror on his face made me laugh really loud. I had shut him up and He wanted to say something when the bartender pushed two hurricane glasses with an orange coloured substance getting lighter from bottom to top in front of us, his face red as red

"ZOMBIES for zombies" his voice explained he was pissed as he had stood there during our entire exchange. I couldn't help it so i giggled as he walked away to serve another set of customers his bald head had turned red.

We had our drinks peacefully it was surprisingly sweet and fruity with a taste of rum for the name Zombie ane even though rum wasn't the best tgibg for me i didn't care but amidst the sweet taste of the cocktail i found the fact that Jeremy's eyes trailed over me amusing. He looked like a Lion ready to devour its prey but In a sexy cold way.

After drinks, we strolled round the pool and he talked about his ventures and how he got his degree from business school and I faltered with my steps every now and then but managed to compose my self

Damn you rum...

'I watched one of your stunts videos once but I still thought it was edited I mean who can cartwheel inside a pool continously without breaks" he said  teasingly

"I can show you " I spoke as I walked to the edge of the pool. I looked at the beautiful water as it was illuminated with light coming from under it. Without looking at him, I jumped in.

He gave me a surprised look before keeping a half smile on his face and I did my thing. The pool was up to my waist so I sucked in the right amount of air and stretched my hands wide ans did a cartwheel and another and another since it was a longer than deeper pool I did more cartwheels than I did in the supposed video.

He applauded me and just stared at me. Damn he really looked handsome. I hadn't been in a pool for weeks and since I was in one I didn't want to come out so I swirled around in circles using different techniques and playing in water while I let him watch.

" I think that's enough ivy lets go" his voice commanded

"I'm staying a little longer .. go without me"

"Don't make me come in there and get you" He warned.

I turned around and invited him using my index finger to call him to me like the girls do in movies.

He smiled and shook his head then He removed his shirt
He came into the water shirtless, he walked in the water rather than Swim to where I was. He stood over me and I just froze, he had really changed alot in just two years in ways I couldn't imagine

"You are beautiful" the words slipped out of my mouth while I trailed my hand down his chest whilst he mumbled something inaudibly. He shivered and for a minute I thought of the possibilities of him getting a cold "You might get a cold"

"You too"

"So go out of water already"

"Will you come with me?"

"Where?"

"I want to warm you up"

"I'm not having sex with you Jeremy"

"I'm not asking you too.. I'm taking you to your room ..you are a little tipsy" he said as he showed concern in his eyes I moved from him the water gently caused a sensation around my waist

"No I'm not tipsy and I wanna be here a little longer" I defended myself almost sounding like a child. He said nothing but In two long water strides he was behind me and he pulled my waist turning me so I faced him and he lifted me up and carried me like my dad used to carry me when i fell asleep in the living room years. At first,the contact his hands made with the small of my back and knees sent a new kind of sensation down body and in between my cold legs then for a while I struggled before I succumbed and laid there in his arms as he walked steadily

"Where are we going?"

"To my room"
