Summer by Marissa Sky (color ebook reader .txt) 📕

is Daniel?” I tried to not make it sound like I was doing it because I didn’t want to be alone with him. “Oh, he’s getting his stuff. I asked if he wanted to come with us. It’s okay I’ll drive.” Daniel came down from the steps and had a smile on his face and looked straight at Caleb. “Let’s go then.” Caleb finally said then walked his way out the door.


CALEB
I came to her house to hang out with her. Just Summer and I. Not my stupid brother. Why did she invite him? “Hey bro, how’s it going back there?” Daniel was already on my nerves. He sat up front with Summer, joking around and she would hit him in the arm then laugh at him. I had to sit in the back like a little kid watching them have fun. “Peachy.” I tried sounding sarcastic.
We finally got to the pool and there was no one there. Summer was right I guess she did know about her pool days. “Hey dude, I need to talk to you.” Daniel grabs my arm and takes my to the men’s room. “What the hell.” Daniel looked serious. What was he waiting to make his move to pick me up and throw me in the pool? “I really need you to understand this. Don’t be mad, kay?” I had to say something “Kay?” He looked and his cheeks got red, he let out a big breath and finally said the words. “I really like Annebelle.” My heart stoped. I can’t believe this. Did he just say what I think he said? “What?” I couldn’t breath.
I stormed out of the bathroom and looked at Summer. She turned with her hair all in her face and smiled. I tried to smile back. “Hey come in guys, I want to race.” Oh yeah wanna see who's gunna win your heart? I thought. Daniel comes running from behind me and cannonballs right next to her. She laughs really hard and looks over at me.
“I think I am going to go home, I don’t really feel good.” What was I saying. I couldn’t leave her here by herself with that idiot trying to flirt with her, like she was some prize for him to win.
“Oh I’ll come with you then.” I had to say something. “No, umm never mind I’ll stay.” She looked confused.
Oh why did Daniel have to screw all of this stuff up? He knew I loved Summer.

We did a few laps and finally started to get out of the pool. The whole time Summer kept on looking at me and wanted to say something, but she never did she probably knew about Daniel and wanted to say she liked him too. Huh the feeling of Summer coming over to my house for Daniel was sickening. It felt like my heart had a hole in it and someone was twisting and puncturing more holes.
“So, do you guys want to get something to eat. After I get done Swimming I always go to Benny’s.” Benny’s was a vegetarian restaurant. It made her feel even more relaxed and healthy after a swim.
“I’m in.” Daniel said without a pause. “Yea, me too.” She looked over at me and finally gave me a hug, she whispered, “I am really glad you came.” Now I knew it. I won’t stop fighting for her just because my brother is a jack-ass. He only liked her because I did. “Yea, and I am glad you brought me here.” She smiled then turned back around so she can get dressed.

Summer pulls in the drive way of the restaurant and asks Daniel to go see how long the wait is. He gets out and winks at her. She blushes, its gross. I was in the front seat this time and she smelled really good even for being in chlorine for two and a half hours. “Caleb, I don’t know if you know this, but were moving.”
The feelings in my toes went away, how could this happen? I look at her and in an instant I kissed her. I didn’t even know what got into me, but she was kissing meback! We just kept on pushing ourlips together, she put her hands around my neck and I ran my fingers in her hair. This was it, I thought, I was going to kiss her and that’s all she will be moving. Nothing else. We stayed there till we saw the door in the back seat fling open.
“What the hell, I was gone for three minutes and you guys had each others tongue’s down your throat’s. This is bullshit.” He walks away without closing the door. We look at each other and she turns around and gets out. Did she just do that? Why didn’t she just leave him be, just let him throw a fit like a little kid.
“Wait, where are you going?”
“I need to set this straight, I want to know what’s going on.”
“Then what happened right now, Don’t you like me?”
“Like I love air.”
She turned and smiled and I knew it, I loved her more than before. How was that? I let her go, she probably went to go but him a burger to calm him down. I was in wonderland, I just sat there. As my thoughts wandered.
I finally got out and went the direction they were going. I was right they did get a burger. I went inside and saw them. She was sitting next to Daniel in a booth. I couldn’t see very good so I went over to go sit next to them. When I got closer I saw why they were so close, she was kissing him. Was this her evil plan to have both of us? I walk out before they could notice me. I could feel the tears coming down my face. I didn’t believe this.


SUMMER
Daniel went out of the car to go check on the wait. I turned around to tell Caleb the good news. I had to tell him something before he finds out from someone else.
“Caleb, I don’t know if you know this but were moving.” That’s all I got to say. All day Caleb looked hurt, he turned to me and kissed me. The kiss I have been waiting for. Now this is my chance to tell him how I feel. I wrapped my hands around his neck. He made it much better by putting his fingers through my hair.
Oh, the feeling. I love it. We didn’t see Daniel walk through the front, He opened the back door and yelled. I didn’t hear him because I was too lost in my thoughts. Caleb and I turn to each other. I got this hard feeling in my stomach and walked out.
“Daniel what is wrong?” I needed to know. He walk in the trees behind the restaurant and when we got in the middle he stopped. I could see the lights from IN-N-OUT.
“Annebelle, why does he only get to call you Summer? Why can’t I get all the fun like you guys into the jokes?”
I kept on feeling sick. It wasn’t Daniel or being in the dark, it was Caleb. I had always liked Caleb because I didn’t know he liked me back. I liked him the way he was. Now he is this whole other person. Someone I didn’t know just kissed me.
I turned to Daniel and he walked away. I grabbed him by his arm and he turned to me. “Then call me Summer. I don’t care what else do you want from me?” He turned and then opened his mouth and I couldn’t believe it. “I want you to pick me over him.”
“What?”
“Annebelle, I really like you. He is just a little kid he doesn’t give a damn, if you leave he would forget about you in two months. To me it would feel like my heart is missing. Until you came back. I know about you staying with Kayla. She called me and told me because she knows that I am in love with you.”
“Why would you ever say something like that?”
“Because it’s the truth.”
“Fine, but how come I have to choose? There is not thing to choose over.” He turns and puts his lips on mine. I started to kiss him back. We stood there for a few seconds and he took his lips away from mine. He had his forehead on mine and he was breathing hard like his heart stopped. Mine had too. “I can give you what he can’t, I will be here for you forever. Trust me.” I couldn’t believe it. The sickness in my stomach had gone away.

“Come on I will get you something to eat your probably hungry.” Daniel put his fingers through mine and we walked over to IN-N-OUT. I didn’t want to do this, I wanted Caleb not his brother. Daniel was always a jack-ass and never did what he was told, but that’s what makes him special in a way. I got the sickness in my stomach again after thinking of Caleb. Why didn’t I get it from Daniel, his brother, the same blood?
“I don’t really want to eat, let’s just sit down.” I really did want to sit down. It felt as if the whole place was on the ride at Scandia, the one where your on the walls and cant move but it keeps spinning. After we sat Daniel said “I know you don’t really like me, not the way I do.”
“No, don’t think like that. I do it’s just I thought you were the last person to like me.”
“I’m a jack-ass to my brother.”
“Yeah, you are but I will have to deal with him myself.”
“Are you okay with me? I mean with us?”
“It’s hard, I only wanted Caleb but after I told him I was moving and he kissed me my stomach hurt because I didn’t know this side of him. I want to keep chasing after him and when I found out he liked me, apparently my emotions didn’t like that. When I kissed you all my pains went away like smoke.”
“So who do you choose?”
“I don’t need to choose anyone I will have to think about this whole thing.”
He looked at me and then said “I will take all your pain away.” and kissed me again. I liked the way he kissed me. He was gentle, not pushing his lips too hard to mine, very calm not trying to rush into another position. We had to be there forever because when we got back to the car Caleb was gone. He probably got a bus or something.
“Let me drive.” Daniel took the keys from my hands and opened the door for me. On the ride to his house my mind wouldn’t shut up. “What do you think your doing? Aren’t you supposed to be with Caleb? Maybe Daniel is better than his brother. He can give you all want in a relationship.” Those questions kept on popping up and then would switch to another thought.
We pulled into his drive way and he turned to me and said, “Do you want to come in?” I wanted to say no but then that would be rude wouldn’t it? “Yeah, um let me talk to Caleb myself please.” he looked at me like I was going to do the worst decision in my life. “Okay, I will be on the couch, please say bye before you leave tonight.” I shook my head and got out.
When I got in all I could feel was guilt. Caleb’s music was loud enough to hear
