He Loves Me He Loves Me Not - Danielle Phillips (top young adult novels .TXT) 📗

ran around all the bases and as soon as he hit home plate he made a quick turn and ran up to me planting a wet one right on my lips then went to his dug out. The next three batters came and went so fast I was shocked at how I could strike them all out and then just keep on going.

“Ok Zoey you are doing great so far but now we need a batting order” Becca said

“Well we should try and fill the bases up then send in the lead hitter to bring them all home” said the guy standing next to Becca

“Sounds good so who is the first two?” Becca said to him

“Well my name is Tyler and this is Tim we are both good at hitting either way so why don’t you send Tim first, then you Becca, then we can lead up with Zoey, Sam, me and the rest don’t matter because they are all hard hitters.” He said

“Sounds like a plane let’s do this.” Sam shouted.

Jay was the first basemen and a tall muscular guy was the pitcher. Tim took his place and the game started again. First swing and Tim got to first base. Becca got him to third and her to second. Now it’s my turn. I walk up to bat and the butterflies in my stomach are going crazy.

“Relax Zoey just keep your eye on the ball” Jay shouts from first base.

At his words I instantly relax a little and then focus on the ball. He winds up, the ball is coming towards me, “crack” it’s gone. The ball is rolling across the ground and into the outfield.

“Run Zoey Run” Tim screams heading towards home.

I turn dropping the bat and run for first just as I am hitting the plate Jay catches the ball. He turns to me with a smile and kisses my forehead before throwing the ball back to the pitcher. The game continues for another hour and we end up wining by one run. It was so much fun and I apparently am a natural pitcher. Who would have thought? We all pack our stuff up and get some water when Tyler asks Becca if she wants to go to a party later tonight.

“Well I’m not going if I can’t bring my girls.” She said smiling and linking our arms together.

“That’s perfect cause Tim and Jay still need dates anyway.” Tyler said waving as the guys left.

At the sound of this news my heart started to do tricks again and my butterflies went up at full force. Would Jay want to go with me or would he be jsut being nice?

We head back to the house to get ready for the night.

After about three hours of showers, hair, and make up I was down to what to wear.

“So how does this look.” I asked as I spun around waiting for the approval of my jeans, flip flops, and tank top.

“Well that does look nice but here let’s change out the jeans for a jean skirt and you are set.” Becca said through grinning teeth.

“Well alright then ladies let’s get this party started.” Sam yelled pushing us to the door.

As soon as I swung the door open a pair of arms where pulling me out of the dorm and into a kiss. Jay slowly backed his head away from my face and lovingly looked down at me with a smile.

“You know I could get used to kissing you every day before school and work and every night before bed.” Jay said smiling as if no one was around us.

My cheeks turned hot and I took a step back. “We should go to this party now before I change my mind and go to bed.” I said looking at the others.

Jay laughed and said "Well i would be more than happy to go to bed with you instead."

My cheeks flushed and i looked down and said "Lets go "

Everyone agreed and we walked out of our dorm and to the sorority houses. Everything seemed quite until you walked up to the Alpha Chee house. As soon as you walk up the front steps you can hear the music and once Jay opened the door for me it was deafening. The noise was so loud you couldn’t even hear yourself think if you tried. I walked in and looked around unsure of where to go. Jay must have been reading my mind since he took me by the hand and lead me to the kitchen to get something to drink.

“What do you want to drink Zoey?” Jay yelled over the music.

“Bottled water would be great.” I yelled back.

He smiled at me and laughed while he shook his head and got me bottled water and himself a bud light.

Just as we are about to leave the kitchen the door opens and a tall blonde runs to Jay and jumps in his arms and kisses him. She is kissing the same guy that has kissed me at least three times today. The room went silent even with all of the noise I couldn’t hear a thing other than my heart beat picking up, my cheeks heating, and my eyes start to burn. As the blond pulls back from the kiss I see that it’s the head mean girl Kelsey. I hurried around them before Jay had the chance to stop me.

“Zoey wait come back!” Jay yelled behind me.

I walked over to a table that had snakes and liquor. I looked over the table and found a bottle of jack. What the hell might as well have some fun with someone and jack is looking pretty good right now I thought to myself. I took the bottle and filled a red solo cup half way and found a Pepsi as a chaser. I went to the dance floor and found myself an Alpha Chu whatever and started to dance. By the time Jay and the others found me I was on my second or third cup of jack and Pepsi and my dancing turned into basically sex on the dance floor. But hey I was having a blast.

“What are you doing I thought you only wanted water?” Jay asked with a small smirk on his face.

I looked at my cup then back up at him and said “guess not.”

“Come on let’s get you home you’re wasted.” Jay said as he put me over his shoulder.

“Put me down you creep” I yelled as I hit his back with my fist.

“You guys stay and have fun I’m going to take her and get some food then put her to bed see you later.” Jay said walking out the door.

Just as we walked down the front steps and Jay put me down Kelsey came running after us.

“Baby wait where are you going?” Kelsey asked.

“Seriously stop calling me that I have a girlfriend and it’s not you Kelsey.” Jay said sounding pissed off.

“Oh and who is she then?” Kelsey spit back

Jay put his hands on his hips and looked up at they sky before saying “Zoey is my girlfriend now leave us alone.”

Kelsey’s jaw dropped as Jay picked me up wedding style and carried me home. By the time we got to the dorms I was knocked out with my face in chest. I heard a door open and close then another. I opened my eyes to see that I was in my room and Jay was setting me on my bed. He turned the light on and I sat up.

“If you need anything just yell I’ll be on the couch.” He said pointing out the door.

“No its ok just stay in here please?” I asked as I took my flip flops off and changed into a pair of basketball shorts.

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

I woke up the next morning with the worst head ache imaginable and something warm pressed up behind me. My eyes flew open and I jumped up to find Jay laying in my bed. I walked over to the door to find all of the other girls also doing the walk of shame as they snuck out of their rooms to either eat or use the bath room. After about an hour or so all of our companions woke up and did the walk of triumph. Tyler walked out of Becca’s room, Tim out of Sam’s, Jay out of mine, and I am not sure of the three that came out of the mean girls rooms but they each somehow had a guy.

“I made pancakes and bacon if anyone is hungry.” Sam yelled.

“Oh my god do you have to be any louder?” I groaned from the couch with a pillow over my head to block the light.

I heard a familiar laugh and something lay on top of me. I moved the pillow to find Jay positioned over me with nothing on but his jeans. He smiled down at me then gently kissed my lips and whispered “If you want I can stay with you all day and take care of you I don’t mind.”

I really wanted to say no but I knew I had to talk to him about last night “fine you can stay but first we need to talk.”

Just as we were getting off of the couch Kelsey walked out of her room half naked.

“Oh hey Jay did you come to see me baby?” Kelsey said walking towards him.

“NO actually I am here with my girlfriend Zoey.” He said grabbing my hand and leading me to the bedroom.

Once the door is closed I turn on Jay like a caged animal.

“Girlfriend? I am not your girlfriend Jay.” I quietly yell.

“I know and I’m sorry but she won’t leave me alone so until she moves on please just be my girlfriend?” he begged.

“Wow and to think I thought you really liked me.” I spit at him as I went to the dresser to pull clothes out to go and shower.

He walked over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist, “I do like you Zoey and that is exactly why I am telling her you are my girlfriend and not someone else. This way at least we might have a chance to get to know each other and see where this goes.” He said as he kisses my neck.

I did not understand his logic at all but at this point I really don’t care I just want to shower. I sigh and roll my eyes as I pull out of his grasp to go and shower. I walk out of the bedroom and straight to the bathroom. I go to close the door behind me and fail. Jay is standing in the door way looking at me with a smile.

“Well if we want her to think that we are for real I should probably shower with you.” He said with a devilish grin.

“Cute but not going to happen we will just tell her it is too soon in our relationship for that and that I wanted to take is slow.” I said as I push him out of the door way.

The door shuts in his face and I can hear him saying “Whatever you say baby.”

I turn the shower on and get it nice and hot so that I can relax.
