“What is it?” She desperately pleaded through chuckles.
I stopped only to state, “When I want to carry you. You must let me. No questions asked.”
“No way!”
I continued my torturous ways.
“Okay! Okay!” She pleaded. “I promise. I promise.”
“Good.”
I swung her legs over the rock and lifted myself next to her. I stood up and helped her to her feet, keeping my hands on her hips.
“You’re so much shorter without your heels on. I can see the part on the top of your head,” I teased.
“I’m five foot eight Elliott. That’s actually tall for my sex, though not all that unusual. You’re the only anomaly here.”
“Six foot four is an anomaly? What are you trying to say Jules? I’m abnormal?”
“In more ways than one Elliott Gray,” she teased.
I pulled her tightly into my chest, pinning her arms to her sides. I buried my face into the skin just above the shoulder and blew against her neck.
“Stop! Stop!”
“Take it back.”
“No,” she laughed.
I blew harder.
“Take it back Jules.”
“No,” she laughed again.
I blew even harder.
“Okay, I take it back! I take it back!” She laughed hysterically. I pulled away. “Eww, I can feel your saliva on my neck.”
I threatened to do it again by inching closer.
“No! No! Not again! Please! I’ll do anything!”
I raised an eyebrow, “Anything?”
“Anything. Just stop,” she exhaled hard, trying to catch her breath.
“Alright, I’ll let you go only if you agree to go with me to Matthew Tanen’s party on Saturday night.”
She pushed away, no longer being playful. Her eyebrows pinched together.
“No way Elliott. No way will I be going anywhere Taylor Williams or her cronies will be. How dare you even ask me that? You know how I feel about them and their cruelty.”
“Taylor Williams? Who the hell cares about Taylor Williams! It’s not even her party. She may not even be there.” She gave me a disbelieving, sarcastic look. “Okay, she’ll probably be there but come on! The whole team will be there as well. We can avoid Taylor like the plague that she is. We’ll pick a corner of the house, camp there, and laugh at everyone making fools of themselves. It’ll be fun.” I softened my tone and edged closer to her, “I’ll take care of you Jules. You know I will.”
She strained her neck to look up at me, “I’m a big girl Elliott. I don’t need anyone to take care of me. You forget. I’ve made it my entire life being ridiculed by Taylor. I think I can survive my senior year without any assistance.”
“I know you don’t Jules but I’ll do it anyway because it’s my job. I’m protective over the girls I’m in love with.”
