Chapter 103
“Nah sweetheart you’re good”. The guy grinned at her as she placed her towel down in the sand.
Placing my towel next to Alanna’s I was yet to strip out of my clothes. For some reason I couldn’t relax. It didn’t help that Sarah had clocked me. She made it clear yesterday how she felt about Jake. The reason I backed off and told him I wanted space. “Whatever you’re thinking stop”. Alanna said from beside me. “She’s a hoe bag, biggest slut in Jake’s year. She’s been with everyone p>
“I wasn’t thinking anything”. I wasn’t going to let her intimidate me. Pulling off my dress I swapped my glasses for sunglasses. I was here with my friends for a fun day and she wasn’t getting to ruin it.
“She’s the reason you’re not talking isn’t she p>
“She’s one of the reasons p>
“Please do not tell me yous are talking about Jake”. Lana sighed passing me a shot. “You want my advice, f**k someone else and let’s see how he likes it”. She grinned.
“Don’t do that”. Both Alanna and Lacey said.
“That’s what I would do”. She shrugged as she downed her shot.
“I didn’t tell him”. Alanna held her hands up making a face. Following her line of sight I rolled my eyes.
“My bad”. Lacey winced.
I was glad I had sunglasses on. It meant I could ogle him without him noticing.
“It’s fine”. Wetting my bottom lip with my tongue my eyes trailed over his bare chest. Those abs! That body. It wasn’t long before Sarah approached him but this time he completely ignored her. His top lip pulled back into a silent snarl. He knew I was watching. I wish I could hear what she was trying to say to him.
“Told you”. She sang. “He’s not interested in her. Queue for when she storms off. Three, two She turned around her hands balled into fists glaring right at me. “One”. Alanna laughed. “Bye, bye”. She waved as Sarah stormed off.
If he had done that yesterday then maybe I wouldn’t have had my little outburst.
“They seem to be getting on well”. I said nodding my head towards Jake and Carter. They hadn’t approached us but they were close by. Lana on the other hand was already sitting between Petes legs and Lacey and Jack were in the sea. “They went out a run together first thing. I’m glad Jake approves”. She laughed.
“Be pretty awkward if he hated him”. I didn’t need to look up to know he was coming over. I always knew when he was near, the way my body reacted to him or how my heartbeat quickened. Feeling the coolness against my legs I opened my eyes. “Drink that it’ll keep you hydrated p>
“Thanks”. Sitting up I grabbed the bottle of water placing it beside me. I could feel him staring, his eyes raking over every piece of skin that was visible. Trying to hide my smile I turned my head a giggle falling from my lips. I knew it was killing him that he couldn’t touch me and if I looked into his eyes I knew they wouldn’t be brown anymore.
“You hungry?”. He bit out through clenched teeth.
I was starving I hadn’t eaten all day. “No”. I smirked. I was getting to him alright. The hands balled into fists and the gritting of the teeth was a big tell.
“We’re going for a burger. Alanna you want anything?”. He all but growled.
“You good bear?”. Carter asked.
“Peachy”. I grinned getting to my feet. “I’m going for a swim”. Running towards the water I already knew he was following me.
Feeling the coolness of the water against my feet I gasped as he grabbed me around the waist pulling me to him.
“You’re fucking killing me”. He growled. “Prancing around here with your a*s cheeks hanging out p>
“Weren’t you going for a burger?”. I asked his grip around my waist tightening.
“I can’t give you space princess, I can’t have you walking around here in a tiny string without them knowing you’re mine”. His voice lower, his tone dark. “Jake I p>
“Do you know how many guys I’m ready to kill”. He hissed. “Fucking ogling my girl. You’re mine Leah, tell me you’re mine”. Feeling the wetness of his tongue against the side of my neck my eyes closed. “Tell me”. He growled. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on.

My eyes opened, realisation starting to kick in. Bitchy little outbursts? Playing hard to get? Pushing his arms from around my waist I turned so I could face him.
“I didn’t have a bitchy little outburst Jake. I said what needed to be said because it’s true and as for playing hard to get you ain’t seen nothing yet”. Shaking my head at him I started to walk away. I was ready to let it slide, I was ready to blame it on me overreacting but not after what he just said.
“Babe come on”. He sighed trying to grab my hand.
“No okay just leave me alone. I asked for space so just give me it”. Reaching the girls I grabbed my dress pulling it over my head. I was ready to get the hell out of here.
