Chapter 12: The Perfect Moment.

Guess what?

Come on guess.

I woke up laying on four fucking rocks instead of three, fucking great.

I accidentally fell asleep by the lake, Blake left before that, and now my back hurts like a bitch.

Like come on dude, I went out of the tent so I wouldn't sleep on rocks, only to end up sleeping on more rocks.

Now I know what the princess from The Princess And The Pea felt like, and it's not all sunshine and rainbows.

I got up from my very sore position on the grass and went towards the tent, if I'm up all of them will be up.

I opened the tent, "Sophia," I shook her, "Wake up." I whispered harshly.

"No." She muttered and rolled over.

"Isabella, wake up." She's easier to wake up.

Nothing.

I'm bored, I'm tired and I'm hungry. Someone entertain me.

I leave the tent simply because I couldn't be bothered anymore.

"Ugh, this stupid lake," I kicked a rock. I think the tiredness is catching up to me, I'm feeling cranky.

"Kayden?" I hear a voice whisper, grandma? Oh wait she isn't dead.

I turn around and find Oliver, clearly amused from my cranky-ness.

"You okay Smalls?" He asked.

"No." I answer and glare at him.

"What's wrong?" He stepped closer.

"Nothing." I want to sleep.

"Come on," he tried to persuade me.

"I slept on rocks, and now I'm tired and I want to murder everyone." I state with a yawn.

"Blake and Noah are up, Noah said something about the sunrise, you can sleep in our tent." He is clearly amused.

"Really?" I asked, existed to sleep.

"Really." He replied and took my hand, leading me to his tent.

"Get some sleep okay?" He closed the tent once I was inside, I laid down and I finally closed my eyes.

☯︎︎☯︎︎☯︎︎

"Smalls," I heard a whisper, "Come on Kayden, wake up." Now someone is lightly shaking me.

"No." I mutter groggily.

The voice chuckled, "Come on Smalls, wake up." Wait is that Oliver? Yeah dipshit, he's the only person who calls you Smalls.

I opened an eye.

"There she is." He smiled brightly.

"What time is it?" I ask.

"Just a bit after eleven, come on get up, you'll miss the whole day." He grabbed my hands and pulled me up.

"No, I don't wanna." I get really childish when I'm tired.

"But you gotta." He retorted, hey I thought I'm the smart one.

Was that even a smart retort? I don't even know dude.

"Then I want watermelon... and cantaloupe." What? I love fruit okay? Sue me.

"You got it, now up." He got up from his crouching position and left the tent.

I got up, and went to the portable bathroom that this lake has, I freshened up and changed into a swimsuit with shorts and a cover up on top, after I finished I went over to the sitting area that consists a folding table and chairs, they probably did this when I was asleep.

And Oliver was sitting there too.

"There you go," He gestured towards a plate, "Eat up."

So I sat down next to him, and saw a heap of watermelon and cantaloupe on it, and I started eating.

"Want some?" I offered when I noticed I didn't offer sooner.

"No I'm good." He replied.

"Hey, where is everyone?" I ask, nothing I haven't seen them at all.

"They went on a hike a while ago." He looked over at me, wait that means he stayed here while they left?

"How long ago did they leave?" I ask.

"Around two hours ago."

"Why didn't you go with them?"

"I didn't want to leave you here alone." Holy shit, he stayed here for two hours by himself while his friends left to go have fun, because he didn't want me to be alone, are you kidding me?

"Why didn't you wake me up?" I smacked his shoulder, he didn't even look bothered, hey I smack hard, and he didn't even wince.

"Because you were sleeping, I did check up on you a couple of times, just to see that you didn't die or something." He smiled and pulled my chair closer to him, I'm still on the chair btw.

Is it getting hot in here?

"So what do you want to do?" I ask, that's the least I can do.

"Whatever you want, I wouldn't mind doing anything."

"We can play a board game." I offer.

"Sure." And so playing board games we did.

ꕥꕥꕥ

"How did you do that?" Oliver looks annoyed yet amused at the same time, we've been playing Backgammon for two hours now.

"What, win?" I ask smugly.

"Yes." He's trying not to smile.

"I don't know, probably because I'm smart." I decided to poke at him a little, personally I think it's more a game of luck than brains but okay.

"Oh you think you're smart huh?"

I nod. I wish I hadn't though.

He came over to my side of the table and lifted me up, throwing me over his shoulder. I know where this is going and I don't like it.

"Put me down or I will murder you." I calmly threatened.

"No." He chuckled.

"I will murder you."

"I don't doubt it for a second." He retorted.

I saw that he was walking on the dock leading to the lake, shit.

A second later I was in said lake, drenched to the bone.

He's dead.

Said dead person is currently laughing his ass off so he doesn't notice me coming right up on the dock and pushing him in.

Now I'm laughing my ass off.

Until I feel water hit my face, the dude splashed me.

"You are dead." I jump into the water and started splashing him, he is splashing me back.

This is a full blown water fight.

"Okay, okay, I'm pulling out the white flag." He said, somehow he is now right in front of me, so close that our chests are almost touching.

I feel his arms wrap around my waist.

"You know this is the best birthday I've had since my sixth birthday." He stated.

"Why your sixth birthday?" I ask.

"Because that was the birthday I first played basketball, my parents got me this whole kit with a hoop and everything, my dad thought me how to dunk, he lifted me up and I threw the ball, I was so excited." He said with a smile.

That's adorable, young Oliver playing basketball for the first time.

"But this birthday is better, wanna know why?" He asked.

"Why?" I ask.

"Because you're here, and that makes everything better." My heart is flatlining.

He tightens his hold around me, until there is no space between us at all, my head on his chest, that is bare by the way, this moment is perfect.

Hey. Hi. Hello.

How are you?

I kinda love this chapter, because I was super cranky while writing the first part and it just came through so that's fun.

Sorry if I didn't use the right basketball terms, I know nothing about it but I still wanted him to be a basketball player so I'm rolling with it.

Oh one last thing, can you guys vote? Pretty please? I'd love to see who reads this story.

K, here is the QOTC.
