To Capture A Ring

Summer Days

"Woah" I heard my little sister Mikayla squeal, as we approached the swimming hole. We all parked our quads in a line, shutting them off to allow them to cool down, all of us taking our keys, so they didn't get stolen. I climbed down from the seat, and unhooked my bag, slinging it over my shoulder, Jordan came over grabbing it from me, and then took my hand in his, pulling me with him towards the water. We got to the fire pit area, and he set my bag down, taking his shirt off, exposing his muscular body to everyone's eyes. I took a quick peak, before taking my shirt and shorts off, Jordan whistled loudly, causing me to blush. The guys ran up the rocks to cliff jump into the cold waters. We've always found it best to just get it done and over with instead of trying to work your way in, since it's so cold.

Abandoning my bag, I climbed the rocks opposite to the side the boys went up. I heard them start taking turns plunging into the water. I felt eyes on me. I stopped and glanced across the opening to see Jordan sitting there, watching to make sure I got up safely. He's so sweet and caring. Once I reached my destination, I caught my breath and watched Jordan as he launched his body into the air, and fell into the water. It looked like it had become second nature to him, he looked so graceful. He was always so confident in everything he did. "Jump!" I heard Jordan's voice holler out loudly. I looked down and saw him waiting for me in the water. The side I'm on takes a little more skill than the other one, since this one you have to launch yourself over rocks to make it safely into the water. The other side, you could just step off and go straight down if you wanted to, and you'd still be safe. I took a few steps back, getting a small running start. I leaped off of the edge, pushing myself with a lot of force with my last step, safely clearing the rocks, I landed in the water, sinking to the bottom of the swimming hole, before resurfacing and swimming, going towards Jordan, who patiently waited for me off to the side.

Brianna, Mikayla and Mariah all walked into the water. Mikayla stopped at the edge, trying to catch some of the little fish. We decided we'd play a game of chicken. Markie bent down, scooping Bri onto his shoulders, Fred did the same to Mariah. I was moving off to the side to allow them to play as Jordan grabbed my hand, stopping me. "Hop up" he said, bending down, so I could climb on, before he raised back to his full height. He put his hands on my thighs, tightly holding me in place as he walked towards the others. We played the game chicken for a while. Jordan and I are undefeated, we've already played several rounds. We all agreed to play one more round. Thing time both of the other team up on us. I felt myself start to go down, so I wrapped my legs around Jordan and took him with me as I went underwater. We both came back up laughing. Once the game was over we all got out of the water, I went to my bag and passed out some towels and Jordan crouched down to start a fire, Markie and Fred went to gather some wood, so we could all warm up a bit and dry off before the mosquitoes came out. It was getting dark, they were bound to come out soon. I grabbed a Gatorade out of the cooler and chugged it, placing my garbage in a grocery bag before placing it off to the side.

Once my bathing suit was dry after the fire was going for a little while, I put my clothes back on and sat down on a log listening to everyone talk, Markie pulled some beers out of the cooler and passed them out, the guys were drinking, none of us girls touched single drop. Jordan was sitting next to me drinking his beer with his arm slung over my shoulder, holding me close to him. I worried about how we would get the boys home. Mariah could just drive Fred and his quad, and Mikayla could just drive Brianna's quad since she was familiar with it. Brianna could drive Markie's, but what about Jordan? By now he'd already had several beers, and I could tell he was getting quite drunk by the way he was slurring his words every time he spoke, or by the way he was rubbing my arm and saying stupid things. I checked the time on my phone and saw it was 10:30 now. We've been out here almost all day. "We should probably get headed out, Bri?" I spoke over the drunken chatter of the boys. "Yeah, let's gather the stuff and get the quads ready." she took charge.

I grabbed my bag, zipped it up and took it over to my quad and strapped it down, as I heard Bri arguing with Markie about drunk driving. I heard a loud slap, and heard Bri cry out. I heard Mikayla scream I saw both Fred and Jordan take a shot at Markie, Fred missed, and Jordan's connected with Markies jaw, I then saw Markie take off on his quad. I rushed over to my sister's side as she cried. Mariah got Fred over to sit on his quad, as I helped my sister calm down, and recollect herself. I hugged her tightly for a few minutes. I shined my phone light on her face, and saw a red hand print. I felt awful for her. "I'll kill him." I seethed.I handed my 13 year old sister the keys to my quad, grabbed Jordan by his hand, pulling him to his quad, and stuck my hand out for his key, which he gave to me."You guys can head out, we'll catch up." I said as I went over, burning any garbage that we accumulated before putting our fire out with a few bottles of water, and then returned to Jordan. I couldn't hear the other quads anymore, as I swung my leg over, sitting in front of Jordan. I started his quad, he wrapped his arms around my waist, leaning onto me. I shifted the quad into first gear, and then into second gear, keeping a steady pace, and we started our journey home.

Jordan started running his hands up and down my thighs and started kissing my neck. "Jordan..." I whined, slowing the quad to a stop. He sunk his teeth into my shoulder, and held both of my thighs tightly with his hands pulling me closer to his body. I threw my head back into him, letting out a soft moan. He let out a dark laugh, as he brought his hands up to hold my breasts. "Behave, you're drunk." I scolded him. "Fine, we'll pick up where we left off when you come camping with me tomorrow." he stated. "I'm not going camping tomorrow, you didn't ask me, you told me. I'd prefer to be asked rather than just told what I am doing." I said as I took the quad out of park and continued our journey home. "Will you please come camping with me?" he asked with hope in his voice. "Maybe, baby." I teased. We both got pretty quiet, and soon enough he drifted off to sleep. I finished driving us to my house in silence. Once I pulled into my backyard, I saw Brianna putting the quads away. Mariah took Fred straight home, and was going to be staying the night there. She told us her plan earlier in the night. "Pick me up from Jordan's? I'm going to take him home." I asked her. "Yeah, I'll be there shortly after you." she didn't even look at me as she spoke. I could tell she was extremely hurt by what Markie did. I can't even say I blame her, I thought to myself. The ride to Jordan's was short. Once I got him there, I helped him inside and got him into bed, and he passed out instantly. I put his quad away and put his key on the seat and closed the garage door, and then I waited out front for Brianna.

Moments later, Brianna pulled up in her car, I got in the front seat, and she turned out into the road taking us home. "Bri, I'm sorry for what happened between you and Markie, you deserve better, you don't deserve a man that will hit you, or be mean to you. You're my older sister and I care about you a lot." she sighed "Thank you Tatiana, I love you." I smiled, "I love you to Bri, always."
