Friends to Lovers

Chapter 12

The next day, we acted as if nothing happened. Mila is being her while I am being myself all day. By all means that we didn't have s*x last night, and I am concentrating on removing that memory.

I don't even know if not avoiding each other is a good thing because we're just pretending that we are good when it's not. What happened last night was great, and it is a big deal!

"Hey," I saw Jacob beside me while getting food at the cafeteria. He suddenly chuckled when he saw how I reacted, "You look like someone who saw a ghost."

"H-Huh?" I unconsciously said.

"Are you okay? You look like who got laid last night." My eyes got widened in shock when he joked, but it wasn't a good one!

"Shut up! " I quickly glared at him. Jacob immediately raised both of his hands at me, a sign of surrendering.

I could feel like something stuck on my chest, and whenever I heard something related to s*x, I suddenly wanted to vomit! Even if how much we try to avoid things, it still hunts us.

Everyone went to the seaside. Some quickly went to the sea while my other team stayed at the deck chairs area, putting some lotions before joining them.

"Hey! There's some net for the volleyball game!" Patricia yelled while pointing at the volleyball court away from the ocean a bit and some other guys playing, "Let's play with them!" She said as she suddenly pulled me.

"Patricia?!" I even shouted, but I already had no choice but to follow her. I sighed. We don't know those guys, who she wants to play with, and I must protect one of us. After all, I'm their team leader.

"Hey! Can we play too?" Patricia shouted, which made the guys turned around to look at us and wearing only beach shorts. I couldn't deny how hot are they.

It's a good thing that Jacob and the few others from us also joined in playing volleyball. Jacob knows that I won't feel comfortable being around strangers.

"It is your turn to spike," One of the guys said as he handed me the volleyball.

"T-Thanks," I quickly took the ball, and before he went back to the other side of the net, he freaking smiled at me.

"Geez! I think that guy's into you!" Patricia giggled, "I'm jealous!" She added as she let out a crazy laugh, and I just shook my head in disbelief.

"Hey, take easy on that one. He's pretty competitive," Jacob whispered in my ears as it made me looked at the guy that he was referring to, and Jacob's right. I already observed that earlier. That guy is too sadist! He even forcing the ball on our side to get a score!

I step backward as I get some force before I spike the ball. It was a strong spike. The competitive guy tried to tap it back from the air, but he failed. The ball went out of the court line, which got us a score.

"YES!" My team went wild, but I could see the competitive face got ruined. I guess I should be careful from now on.

"Ooh, he's scary," Jacob chuckled while we both looking at the competitive man, "You probably hurt his ego," Jacob added, but I only ignored him.

I played volleyball when I was in high school, and I was an A played back then. I like his positioning because it was good while his play is dirty and aggressive.

We continued playing, and I couldn't even count how many rounds that we already played. He's too stubborn, and he doesn't want to quit.

One of the guys I like to compete with because they pushed you to your best play, and I owed them every skill that I have learned from those people like him.

He's the one who's spiking now while I tried to read his actions. He suddenly spiked the ball with so much force, as I was about to tap it with my right hand, but it made me step backward instead because he did it to hit me!

"Lauren!" I heard Mila's voice, which made me suddenly looked at her worried face.

The next thing I knew, I was already sitting on the ground of sand, and my head was spinning like hell! I didn't know that he would be pissed this much!

I tried to open my eyes, and I saw the competitive guy's face, "Damn it! I'm sorry," He said while looking at the part he hit me.

Mila suddenly pushed him away as she glared at him, "What a competitive jerk," She hissed as she turned around to look at my face.

"Are you alright?" Mila said in a worried tone, and my reality suddenly stopped, and I could feel my heart beats faster than normal. I couldn't almost breathe by her stares.

"Y-Yeah," I stuttered when I suddenly felt the pain in my head again.

"Your nose is bleeding! f**k that guy!" She complained, but all I could think about her was the word 'f**k,' how can it be so sexy coming from her mouth?

Pull yourself together, Lauren!

She quickly got some handkerchief and put it on my nose where the bleed came. Camila looks so pissed right now, and I know she wants to hurt that guy, but she chose to stay for me.

"Jacob can handle him, don't worry," She whispered as she helped me to stand up, "If I were only a man, I would lift you in a bridal style, but it would be corny, though," She joked, but it made me laughed.

"You always try to make a joke whenever you can," I said as I shook my head a bit in disbelief.

"I'm just trying to make you happy, you careless dumbass," She replied as she suddenly hit me in my arm.

"Aw!" I complained.

"And stop fighting others with your hidden skill!"
