Chapter Thirty Five
After a full day of being with my friends and Dylan talking about what happened through all this week, we finally get some time alone. Dylan and I are sitting on the edge of the pool with our legs inside the water that reaches our knees. No matter how much he tried to fold his jeans up, they are darker now in some parts for being wet.
"So... we are a couple," I say to fill in the silence. Above us some stars begin to shine. He smiles shyly and stares at the water that now is yellow because of the lights lighting it from the bottom.
"You should thank me for saving you from one night with that... guy," he replies, grimacing. Is he jealous?
"Are you jealous of Samuel Rodgers?" I joke. His laugh is a little forced.
"Did you two had something?"
"Apart from sharing that stupid title?"
He raises his brows. "The perfect couple?" I laugh when he mumbles it like a child forced to confess he broke a glass with a ball.
"It's definitely not like what you are thinking of," I say laughing so much it hurts.
"Tell him that," he says.
"My school gives stupid awards every year to the best students, the best athletes, the most attractive-"
"Don't forget about the perfect couple," he interrupts.
"He made that up on his mind," I say in my defense. "The stupidest of them all is the one of the perfects" he laughs at the ridiculous name just like I do. "Exactly. It is stupid but everyone here gives it more importance than what it deserves."
"Let me guess... you won that thing," he laughs.
"Unfortunately," I admit, frowning.
"Just imagine when they find out you were practically made to win that," he says making me laugh again. "You are a cheater Madison Wrestler."
"At least that earned me a dog," I say looking at the little puppy sniffing around.
"At least now I got a girlfriend who is literally perfect with all the letters that form that word," he says taking me from my chin. "Who by the way, I am taking to prom."
"I wasn't planning to go," I reply staring at his eyes that reflect the yellow color of the pool.
"I can tell that... change your plans" he says. We are so close that we are almost breathing the same air.
"But Alison..." I say remembering what brought us to this moment. He shakes his head.
"That night is going to be all about you," he kisses me gently and don't ask me why I pull him till we fall into the pool that finally tears us apart.
"Why did you do that?" he laughs when he gets out to breath and I laugh too.
"Just felt like it," I say laughing for the way his hair got all messy.
"Couldn't you just felt like playing tennis?" he says pulling me to him and holding me in one hand while he points at the tennis court with the other.
"Ugh I hate tennis so much," I say disgusted right before I kiss him again.
"I have never played but I would certainly die to see you in that hot sporty tennis look," he says when we separate and I laugh.
"You are disgusting!" I joke getting out from his hold to walk to the edge of the pool.
"Pardon me? I am not the one who jumped into the pool with a white dress," he says making me blush and he smiles biting his lip. "I love that reaction!" he practically shouts and I just giggle.
"You're going to make them catch us," I whisper for no real reason and he just puts his finger against his mouth to then literally scream startling me and making me laugh way too hard.
"Dylan, how were you before I met you?" The question comes to my mouth while we just float relaxing in the water looking at the sky. Half a minute passes by and I get no answer so I say again, "Dylan?"
"I'm not talking about that," he says, staying perfectly still on the water.
"Why not?" I ask.
"Because l'm not proud about that," he replies.
"Why don't we just play a tennis round?"
"I want to know anyway," I tell him and he raises his eyes to find mine.
"Nope, let's play one round," he says standing and quickly getting out from the pool offering me a hand which I don't take. "C'mon, I am freezing," he lies.
"I don't like tennis," I repeat crossing my arms.
"What could you've possibly done that you can't tell me? Nothing could ever be as bad as when I noticed I was an experiment, believe me." That convinces him as he sighs and sits down on the edge of the pool.
"You need to stop using that as an excuse," he says and I smile.
"But it works..." I say, a bit proud. I get out of the pool to sit next to him.
"When I still lived in Chicago, I had a girlfriend," Dylan starts. "Her name was Victoria. We were so close since we were both kids. Kind of the relationship you have with Levy, but we did start dating in high school. She was gorgeous. I loved her. I used to think she was the one I was going to marry," he says. "I used to be a romantic. I swear I could've paint the ocean pink for her." I smile for the way he talks and he notices with a shy smile. "I was pretty sweet," he laughs making me laugh too. "Then in college, she wanted to study laws and I went to study Filming I soon got an scholarship for University in LA and obviously I took it. There it was obviously impossible to pass unnoticed with all the girls there, just look at me," he brags.
"Calm down," I mock him and he kisses me on the forehead.
"There I met my guys, they are all handsome to be honest and players..." he says getting my attention. "We were always surrounded by women and they used to bet who would get one faster," I raise my eyebrows.
"Do people really do that?" I ask surprised and he nods.
"I am afraid so," he says. "It disgusted me so much at the beginning. I was still so in love with Victoria that I couldn't think of being with any of those girls until I noticed she was cheating on me. She met this guy from New York. They had a thing since they started college and I never heard of him before I caught them together."
"How did you..."
"I went to New York as a surprise her for our anniversary and well... what a surprised she got when I caught them studying in her dorm," he replies.
"Are you serious?"
"I wish I wasn't," he nods. "I got the shit out of him that day so bad that I got arrested. Picture that." I grimace.
"That moment changed me for the worse. When I got back to LA I was a completely different man. I started playing too and got good at it. I could get anyone I wanted. I guess I'm better than how your friend Sam could ever be." I laugh, "I've been doing it for a while now, till I met you."
"And I fell just like the others," I say.
"I am glad you did," he says, "and I almost died on Levy's hands because of that."
"Why?" I ask with a smile on my face.
"He met me when I was caught on that," he says smiling for remembering something. "I was at the beach one day and there was this beautiful and blond girl lying on the sand taking the sun. I walked to where she was and tried to convince her to get into the water with me... till she introduced her boyfriend to me."
"Oh my god," I laugh covering my mouth.
"Yup. It was Jessica," he confirms what I thought and I burst out laughing along with him. "I tried to steal his girl once so I guess he thought I was doing the same thing with you," he says. "Worst part is that he wasn't wrong at first. But I am actually glad you have someone like him protecting you from anyone that wants to take you away from me."
"I'm glad for that too," I say and he smiles at me sweetly putting a lock of wait hair behind my ear.
"You're really pulling that sweet boy out of me again Madison," he says in a low voice making me smile this time.
"I'm happy I got the Sweet Dylan," I tell him earning a long and perfect kiss.
