" Joey Arthur! I command you to put me down at once!" Joey just smirks " fine but why should I, give me one good reason at least" I looked at Joey and I sighed " okay fine if that's the way you want you play , bring it on but let me warn you I'm going to win this time around!" Joey just looked at me with a smirk still evident on his face. " You know there is almost this thing with girls which I absolutely adore " he stopped speaking, leaned forward and whispered in my eyes " its when girls become feisty!"

He looked at me and I was honestly speechless , I needed to think of something quickly " uh Joey there is something I never told you about me " Joey took hold of my hand and kissed it gently " what would that be? " I gathered all my courage and spoke " I have a boyfriend !" Joey's expression was neutral , no shock, no surprise , no nothing " no you don't ! " I looked Joey straight in the eye trying to hold up this lie of mine, he let go of my hand and I wasn't sure what was going on in his head , I looked in eyes trying to find some sign but all I could make out was a look of betrayal but why ? does Joey like me ? I took the opportunity and I climbed off his lap and started walking away .

I was heading towards the swimming class and on my way there I ended up thinking of what happened yesterday , I entered the swimming room and I got changed in my short- shorts with this swimming tank top and my hair was in a bun.

I was about to enter the pool when I got stopped - it was Joey " you fooled me for a second there yesterday "Joey looked at me and then his eyes darted slowly down my bare legs that at the moment wasn't covered by baggy clothes. OH GOD HE WAS STARING AT MY BODY!!! I wish I could've just fainted it would save me from the nervousness I was feeling " but Joey at least I got you distracted for a while , right ? " My words had no impact on him as his eyes darted from my legs to the upper part of my body and then he stopped at my open stomach, I could feel my stomach twisting as his sea blue eyes settled on my it , he leaned closer to me and put his hands around my waist pulling me into him - his fingers caressed my stomach and his touch made me soften.

" Why do you t*****e me so much ? " I stared blankly at him " what do you mean ? " at this point his hands were tracing lines on my back. " You drive me insane with the little things you do !" I was shocked hearing him say that " well I'm sorry I don't do it deliberately!"

Today was just a horrible day , there was this cloud burst - it was raining so much and my mood wasn't improving . I walked to the library and took the nearest seat by the window - I stared at the rain drops sliding down the windowsill , I cuddled into my warm fluffy sweater. In the corner of my eye I saw Joey talking to this girl- I was not offended or jealous , I took out my sketchbook and started drawing.
*
I completely lost track of time when I felt this ticking sensation by my elbow , I looked up and I noticed Joey was peeking trying to see what I was drawing . " Its beautiful , what does it symbolize?" I looked at my drawing and used my fingers to demonstrate what the drawing meant " this over here is specs of the texture , the drawing symbolizes a women with spirit and power - the oceanic dress of hers symbolizes the power of the sea , the spark of fire as soon as she steps on the beach sand is the power thriving in her her ; she is realistic ; powerful; kind , beautiful and the serene blue waters of the ocean is as pure as the eye should be" I looked at him and he leaned towards me -his gaze fixated on me he whispered softly to me and I obeyed and also leaned forward. He brought his head closer to me as if to kiss me and I immediately backed away
