Protecting Love - Chapter Four
Woah. Chapter four. I have to say, I'd thought people would have sent me millions of hate comments saying "You suck!!! Get off the stage!" Oh wait that's a different one... Alright, I love to sing and I have visions of singing in a kick ass band. Anyway, this one should be good. Thanks for the comment!
***Joey's POV***
Jeremey had asked me out. Hey, it was better than nothing. Then, I felt guilty with the thought. Jeremey is nice and I should be lucky I am going out with him instead of a manwhore who'd cheat on me. What will the date be like? I pondered and suddenly a soft voice spoke above us. I looked up to see Mallory and Aiden. I blanched.
"What're you guys up to?" I asked and Mallory gave me a curious glance. She was probably looking at the clothes Brittney had forced me into. I looked down at myself and I blushed. I've never shown this much skin before.
"It's our date!" Mallory spoke up and I could've sworn Aiden gave her a glare. Then, I blinked and it was gone. How odd. I only faltered in my smile a second before I grinned up at them.
"That's so cool! Jeremey just asked me out. This is a Friday of dates!" I said and only regretted for a moment. Aiden glared at Jeremey and it wasn't a trick of the lights. I felt smug for some reason and I had to chastise myself for being mean. Aiden probably didn't like Jeremey going out with someone his age and in his grade. It didn't stop me from smiling.
Brittney came out of nowhere with the lifeguard. She wore only her bra and her tank top was bunched up in her left hand. She looked good almost naked. Brittney had a body better bare, I decided. The lifeguard seemed to be blushing while staring at her with puppy dog eyes. Aiden and Jeremey also blushed and she gave them a slightly annoyed glance.
"Seriously, Aiden, you've seen more of this," She said and grinned at me. I smiled slightly. She was joking, I could tell, "Joey, we have to go. I puked and I want to go home. Alistair says I should be okay. Except that I should avoid open areas full of water."
"You know him?" I asked. Her eyes darkened and I regretted it before she spoke carefully.
"He was there that night." She said and it took me a while to catch her meaning. When I did my smile fell from my face, "Don't be sorry, my sweet. It cleared a lot of things for me." She smiled and I would have been fooled if I hadn't known her as well as I did, "I should warn you, Alistair, I'm a ditz." She said and I suppose she were carrying on from a past conversation.
"Okay, we'll go. Jeremey, you can get my number from Aiden. I gave it to him yesterday." I tell him before I pick up my bag and take Brittney's arm. We give our goodbyes and before I know it were in Brittney's car.
"That Alistair guy," I begin and the Brittney explodes with emotion.
"He asked me out! I gave him my number and everything but what if he doesn't call? He's seen me naked, doped out of my mind, and being raped by my ex best friend's boyfriend! What if he's repulsed secretly and he wants to laugh at me?"
"Brittney! Calm down. I saw him staring at you with adoring eyes. You have an amazing body and for most guys watching sex is pornography and it turns the bastards on. So you have nothing to worry about."
"Okay," she breathed out and I started the engine to go home.
"Maybe we can have a double date." I mused and she looked at me funny.
"Oh yeah, Jeremey, that guy next to Aiden, asked me out." I told her and she smiled.
"Right on!"

This one probably sucked but the whole time I wrote this I couldn't get that saying out of my head, "Glutton for punishment." I have no idea what it means. Leave a comment to explain, please... I'm so confused.
