The Beach House

“Hey mom, when’s Dylan getting back?” I asked wiping a tear away, my mother took a pin out of her mouth and hung up the Happy Birthday sign, “Probably around six, I told the boys not to stay out too late,”

I nodded and took a seat at the table, “Hey mom, do-do you ever wonder what it’s going to be like when, when I go to college?” my mom stopped hanging the decorations and stepped off of her chair,

“Well of course hun, why would you ask that?” I shrugged and played with the hem of my shirt, “Jamie, I’ve wonder what it would be like not to have you in my home since you where born, I’m going to miss you Jamie, and as much as you may hate it I will call you everyday,”

I chuckled and stood up, “Thanks mom, anything else you need?” she shrugged and looked around a bit. “You know I think we’re about done, Denise is taking the lasagna out of the oven,” I nodded and grinned at the warm pasta smell,

“Okay well I’m going to take a swim okay?” my mom nodded and walked off into the kitchen, I grinned as her bushy hair bounced as she walked, thank gosh I was blessed with the straight haired gene.

Walking up to my room and changing into my yellow and white bikini I assessed my appearance in my mirror, a belly button piercing wouldn’t be so bad,

Ignoring the thought I continued to stare, why would Joseph Adam Jonas like me? Plain, simple, dull Jamie Anne Jade. I was too pale, too short, and too thin yet he still looked at me like many guys hadn’t. He talked to me like he cared; he made me smile when I wanted to cry. He was everything I hated but loved at the same time,

Why does he care?

Brushing some hair out of my face, I grabbed a towel and slipped on some flip flops and headed to the beach,

The water was freezing and a shade of deep blue. I shivered as the hair on my arms stood up; “You know the water is like bellow zero right?” came an all too familiar voice,

“You know Joseph, you really need to stop doing that” I smirked; Joe grinned and inched near the water, “Doing what?” I shrugged and let my finger gently trace the out ling of a heart on the cool surface,

“Sneaking up on me, watching me” Joe smirked and threw off his shirt and slowly walked into the ice water, drenching his shorts,

“Who says I was watching you?” Joe asked inches from my face, I grinned and stood on my toes, “Well, you know you’re pretty obvious right?” Joe’s nose was now touching mine as his hot breath tickled my cheeks,

“No way,” I smiled and moved an inch closer, “way” and as his lips where about to touch mine I backed away and splashed the chilling water onto him,

His mouth a gap and his eyes glaring I screamed and attempted to run away, my effort was obviously not working as Joe grabbed me by the waist and spun my around in circles finally dropping me into the water,

“Hey!” I screeched shaking from the cold, Joe smirked and crossed his arms over his toned chest, “You deserved it” I shivered and felt my teeth chatter together,

“It’s freezing!” Joe smiled and wrapped his arms around me, “Better?” I smiled up at his tall frame, “yes, much” Joe grinned and stared down at me, “What?”

But before I could finish a warm set of lips, all too familiar, met mine. This time there was no resistance, no mistakes, no worries, just his soft lips upon mine,

“What was that for?” I asked once we pulled away letting out a breath, Joe just grinned, “That was what I’ve been holding back since the first time I met you,”

And once again we reattached lips, hoping to never let go.
