Hailey's Pov
I was in Hunter's room changing into a wet suit Nia let me borrow, getting ready to go for the first time on a jet ski. I had butterflies in my stomach and couldn't figure out if it was excitement about jet skiing or spending time with Hunter. I chose to shake it off and go with excitement over jet skiing because I didn't even know yet if Hunter was married or had a girlfriend.
I pulled my hair back in a tight pony tail and took one last look in the mirror. I always look so plain Jane next to Nia with my dark blond hair and brown eyes, but there was not much I could do about it.
I put some lip gloss on and headed out. Hunter and Nia were waiting at the bottom of the stairs. Hunter had a t-shirt and shorts on, Nia had a wet suit on. I was thankful I wasn't the only one in a wet suit.

I was talking with Nia, waiting impatiently for Hailey and Zach who both seemed to have no sense of time whatsoever. I took a deep breath trying to calm my temper and that when I calmed. My mate was finally coming down the stairs. I looked up to see her and almost lost all control.
There she was coming down the stairs in a skin tight wet suit. Dear god I will never survive this damn day.
"We're waiting for Zach," Nia said as she rolled her eyes.
"Seems like we are always waiting for someone," Hunter grumbled.
"You're really a stickler for time, aren't you?" Nia said.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I am. I expect people to be on time." He said, looking straight at me.
"She was driving," I said, pointing at Nia.
"Hey!" Nia said playfully just as Zach decided to make his appearance in only shorts and two children's arms floats.
Nia and I laughed at his choice of outfits. Hunter just plain ignored the fact that Zach was an i***t.
"Lets go, its getting late and we wont have much daylight left." Hunter said.

We follow Hunter like three little lambs going to their slaughter. He even walks with a murderous stride.
Once outside, we headed for the boat house where the jet skis and a large boat were housed. Of course, Hunter went straight to a shinny black jet ski. He motioned for me to climb on in the front and then he slid on behind me.
When our bodies touched, I felt a jolt of electricity that made me jump. I looked back at Hunter to see if he felt it to but he had the same murderous look as always, so I decided to ignore what I felt.
Hunter instructed me to start the engine and showed me how to reverse out of the boat house. He explained the gas and how to lean into turns.
"I think I got it." I said as I gave the engine gas and we took off toward the lake.
We were having the time of a lifetime until Zach came up and gave us a huge wave to jump and I panicked. I let off the gas and closed my eyes. Thankfully, Hunter reached around me and took control. We were successful in jumping the wave. To my surprise, it was very fun and exciting and I didn't die, so I wanted to try it again. Hunter waved for Zach to come back and I opened my eyes and readied myself to try this death-deifying trick.
Zach used his jet ski to make a wave and I went for it. I the gas at full throttle, we jumped the wave and landed perfectly, I was so happy I threw my arms in the air and yelled "Hell Yeah".
I heard Hunter laugh. "You like danger, I see."
"I like to feel alive and that, well, that makes me feel alive."
"Here I thought you just wanted to sleep all weekend."
"I do," I said with a chuckle.
"Here, Let me take over if you want excitement." I let go of the handle bars and held onto the center while Hunter expertly jumped waves and did turns that you only see in movies. It seemed like it was all to fast though.

I realized quickly my little mate enjoys danger or at least the thought of it. She was in no real danger I wasn't going to let anything happen that I couldn't control.
I reached my arms around her to take hold of the bars. The electricity I feel when I touch her is beyond anything I have ever felt. Almost uncontrolable. I decide to jump some waves and show her a good time then I notice the sun is going down. I know how cold it can get and I don't want her getting cold.

"The sun is going down." Hunter said.
"Awe, cant we just ride a little while longer?" I pouted.
Hunter waved to Nia and Nia waved back, letting him know she understood, and we headed back, as did Zach and Nia. I was disappointed that it was over and I won't lie, I enjoyed having Hunter's arms wrapped around me while he was driving.
We all parked the jet skis back in the boat house and made our way to the house. I was freezing. Hunter must have noticed.
"Here." He handed me his sweatshirt to put on for the short walk to the house.
"Thanks." I said and slid the shirt over my head.
His sweatshirt smells so good, I put my hands in my pockets and held onto the shirt. I had a feeling of warmth and safety flowing through me for some reason I couldn't explain, but I did not want it to end. Maybe I'll just accidently forget to give the shirt back.
We made it to the house in just a few short minutes and I headed straight up stairs. I needed a shower before dinner. Actually, I was dying to try out the shower in his bathroom. Five shower heads, I mean come on. I opened the doors to the room and saw that all my things had been placed in the closet and dresser drawers. I also noticed that my suitcase had disappeared. Hum, that's weird, I thought to myself. Maybe the maid misunderstood my stay here was just for the weekend. Oh well shower it is then dinner with Mr Sexy and The Crazys, Nia and Zach.
I wonder to myself if any of the other guests have arrived yet. I guess I will find out at dinner..
