The Pain Of Love

CAMPING

Skylar woke up, she slowly got up from bed and she went to take a shower although she took one last night, she wanted to take another one she will be out camping all weekend, so she wanted a last shower although they are going to the falls. Once Skylar was finished, she put on her shorts with a tank top with a thin flannel shirt and her hiking boots and she put her hair in a high ponytail and then put on sunscreen all over her body.

“Sky you up” Avery said.

He came into her room.

“Yes, my stuff is right there. And why are you making that face?” Skylar asked.

“Baby we’re ready” Jacob said.

Skylar looked behind Avery.

“Jacob, your going camping too?” Skylar asked.

“Well of course when Avery said he was taking you and I knew I had to take Ethan and make it a double date” Jacob said.

“Ethan is here too” Skylar said.

“Yes, now hurry that sexy butt and you too lover boy, will be at the jeep” Jacob said.

Skylar sigh out, she wanted to take this weekend to have a serious talk with Avery about this relationship they were getting into and just let their emotions out with one another.

“Sorry, I didn’t know he was going to come. I just told him that I was taking you camping for our next date” Avery said.

“It’s fine, I was hoping it would just be us two and talk about this between us” Skylar said.

“We can still do that we just need to find a way to get away from those two” Avery said.

“Okay, so are we taking the Jeep?” Skylar asked.

“Yeah, had to ask my brother since he always wanted to drive my truck” Avery said.

“We should go before they start yelling for us” Skylar said.

Avery nodded his head and picked up Skylar bags and sleeping bag for her as they made their way downstairs Skylar said her goodbyes to her mother and followed Avery to the Jeep where Ethan and Jacob were getting in the back of the Jeep.

“Where are we going?” Jacob asked.

“I was thinking Longhorn Cavern Park” Avery said.

“Sweet” Jacob said.

“I think we should take the long way” Skylar said.

“Good idea” Avery said.

The four went towards the north side of the drive they would be cutting through Highland Haven and once they get to Kingsland they would do a stop, it was a sixteen-minute drive from Marble Falls from there they would be taking Ranch Road for another 22 minutes, and they would arrive at Longhorn Caverns Parks. Skylar was taking pictures on the way as they drove, with the radio one her and Jacob were singing along to the music.

“Did you pack food and drinks?” Jacob asked.

“Yes, if not we can always fish” Avery said.

“You didn’t even bring your fishing supplies” Jacob said.

“I did, under the both of you” Avery said.

“Can we stop to get food, getting hungry” Skylar said.

“Were almost at Kingsland” Avery said.

“Okay” Skylar said.

“So, Skylar. Jacob told me you have a fashion show in Huston next weekend” Ethan said.

“Yes, I will be taking Avery with me and if only if Jacob finishes his work on time, he wants you to go with him, just make sure you tell me so I can save a seat for you three in the front” Skylar said.

“Okay, last time I been to a fashion show was about five months ago” Ethan said.

“Oh, yeah which one?” Skylar asked.

“I believe it was the one in Dallas some charity” Ethan said.

“I love doing the charity fashion those one you can actually express your happy side and do your own thing” Skylar said.

“I wouldn’t know, I will compare it to the show you’re walking in” Ethan said.

“And you will darling I will do overtime if I have to make it” Jacob said.

“No if’s do it” Skylar said.

“Okay, and that’s why I brought my work with me” Jacob said.

“And I was wondering why you had your laptop with you” Ethan said.

“Only for nighttime” Jacob said.

A few minutes later they arrived at Kingsland, they stop at a drive through and got some food and went to a small park where they sat down to eat, Avery sat beside Skylar and Jacob sat by Ethan.

“This is so nice the breeze” Skylar said.

“Girl shut up and eat your food baby needs it” Jacob said.

Skylar chuckled, and nodded her head as she began eating, they talked as they ate their food once they were finished, they talked some more.

“We should get going before we lose the sun” Avery said.

“Okay” Skylar said.

They cleaned up their mess and went back towards the Jeep and they went on their way to the campsite on their way to the campsite they got there by evening time, they had to park the Jeep in the parking lot.

“So, I got our tickets, and it will be in this bag” Avery said.

The three nodded their heads, they began taking their stuff down and Skylar grab her bag and put it on she was about to get her other stuff.

“Nice try momma, you just take your bag and leave the rest to us guys” Avery said.

“Fine” Skylar said.

The three guys took the rest of the stuff Jacob and Ethan were carrying the coolers together and Avery was carrying both tents and sleeping bags on his back.

“Okay which way?” Jacob asked.

“We are going straight ahead, and when you see the landmark, we are going to take a left and go up about a few feet and that’s our campsite” Avery said.

“Okay, I will be in the lead” Skylar said.

“Ohh, sweetie remember when you did that when we were young, I think maybe Avery should go first” Jacob said.

“Ass” Skylar said.

“You love me” Jacob said.

They began walking it took them about thirty minutes to get to the campsite and Skylar was tired, so she sat down and drank her some water as they began setting up the tents.

“You just sit and relax, we got this” Ethan said.

“He’s right babe, drink some water and relax it was a long walk” Avery said.

“Fine” Skylar said.

Skylar sat there watching them, she felt bored they were really sheltering her from doing nothing, so she just sat and watched them once they were finished, they guys began taking out things for dinner. Skylar went to the tent where her and Avery would be in, and she set up the tent putting their things inside and fixing it up.

“Come on babe’s let’s get some firewood” Jacob said.

“Okay” Skylar said.

They made their way towards the wooded area picking up firewood.

“I know you wanted this weekend to be just you two” Jacob said.

“What?” Skylar said.

“I know you wanted it to be just you and Avery this weekend but child if I didn’t come you two would have a steamy weekend instead of talking” Jacob said.

“That would not have happened” Skylar said.

“Have you seriously not read the mom and me books? Your hormones are on another level, and you will be horny in most of your pregnancy” Jacob said.

Skylar looked at him then she began to think she was getting heated every time she would see Avery especially when he was working on the garden house with no shirt on.

“Snap out of it” Jacob said snapping his fingers in front of her.

“Sorry” Skylar said.

“See like I said hormones are creeping in” Jacob said.

“Maybe your right but I would have stop it” Skylar said.

“Please, I saw the hornists in your eyes when I said Avery’s name” Jacob said.

“Okay, shut up” Skylar laughed out.

“Come on, let’s get back to our men” Jacob said.

Skylar smiled and grabbed her woods she needed, and they went back to where the two guys were almost done setting up the food, and Jacob went to build a fire and Skylar went to the tent she was staying at and laid down. Skylar was on her side as she was watching the three guys cooking dinner after awhile Avery came towards her inside the tent.

“You tired?” Avery asked.

“Yes, my feet are hurting a bit from the walk been a long time since I hiked” Skylar said.

“Here let me” Avery said.

Skylar laid on her back and Avery took her shoes off for her as he began rubbing her feet, Skylar smiled as he was massaging her feet.

“Thanks this feels nice” Skylar said.

“Yeah, me and you tomorrow morning let’s go to the cave and take a swim” Avery said.

“I would like that, and we can take photos” Skylar said.

“Did you pack your tripod” Avery said.

“Yes, I did” Skylar said.

“Dinner is finished, here you go” Jacob said.

They made some steaks with veggies, and they brought some bread along with them the guys had beer while Skylar had her water, Skylar put her slippers on, and they sat in their chairs sitting around the fire that was going.

“That was good thanks guys” Skylar said.

“And thank you for getting firewood” Ethan said.

Skylar laughed out.

“Let’s make a toast, here’s to friendship and relationship” Jacob said.

“Here, here” they all said.

They raised their drinks and cheered together.

“It’s getting late let’s get some sleep” Avery said.

“Yes, we will let you guys do your thing and we will do our thing” Jacob said.

“Night guys” Skylar said.

“Night babes, Avery keep your hand to yourself her hormones are going off and I really don’t want to hear slapping sounds” Jacob said.

“Jacob!” Skylar yelled.

Skylar’s face was red, and she gave him slap on the back and went to the tent, Jacob was laughing behind her.

“Jacob be nice to your baby momma. Avery give her a mind-blowing performance” Ethan said.

“Stop it both of you” Skylar yelled to them.

Ethan and Jacob were laughing away, and Avery just smiled and shook his head as he walked towards the tent and zip it up, Skylar finished changing into her PJ’s and Avery did not think as he took his pants and shirt off and put on his short cut and got into the sleeping bag. Skylar was a bit dazed as she was looking at Avery taking his clothes off, and she got a bit hot she quickly shook her head and laid down she then faced Avery.

“How’s your hormones?” Avery asked smiling at her.

“Oh, god” Skylar said rolling her eyes.

“No s*x!” Jacob yelled.

“Were not doing that, just shut up and go to sleep” Skylar said.

Skylar waited until he would speak again but nothing so Skylar sigh out as she went back to Avery as he was smiling at her.

“I’m okay, it’s just when you undress in front of me. Just don’t like it’s already hard enough with you without a shirt and wow Jacob was right for intruding our little date get away or I would’ve jumped your bones” Skylar said.

Avery chuckled, as he creased her head moving some hair away from her face.

“Skylar Williams even if you didn’t stop it, I would have, why? Not because I am the stupidest guy to turn down a beautiful woman but because I know you would doubt yourself the next day and you need less stress right now” Avery said.

“That is the sweetest thing ever, is it upsetting that I want you now more than ever” Skylar said.

“Okay now you’re just leading me on” Avery said.

Skylar chuckled out.

“Right friends that cuddles and date but to the whole world were dating when were still trying to figure it out” Skylar said.

“You’re figuring it out babe, I’m just waiting till your ready for the next step” Avery said.

“Well, I think I should take another five years to think about it” Skylar said.

“Ohh, five years huh” Avery said.

“Yes, five years. What do you think about that?” Skylar said.

“Okay bet.” Avery said.

“I was just kidding; I would believe I will be ready soon” Skylar said.

“No, rush Skylar. When you are ready, besides, I like this slow smooth sail we have, it’s like we are catching back up on likes and dislikes” Avery said.

“Yeah, more like me talking about my experience in the modeling world we barley talked about you” Skylar said.

“My life was not that interesting after graduations” Avery said.

“I still want to hear” Skylar said.

“Well, after graduation. I worked for my father but still worked out because I wanted to do the walk on for the football try outs at the college” Avery said.

“Did you get it?” Skylar asked.

“No, they said I was a bit small for a quarterback, and they wanted to try me out for tight in” Avery said.

“And now you’re working your way up to be a coach” Skylar said.

“Yes, that is the dream becoming a coach in the NFL” Avery said.

“I think you will get there, which team would you like to coach” Skylar said.

“Dallas of course” Avery said.

“That would be the star one, right? Sorry, I am horrible with the NFL” Skylar said.

“Yes, that’s the one Dallas Cowboys” Avery said.

“Okay what else did you do?” Skylar asked.

“I partied like any college student would but only for a half semester” Avery said.

“Why only half semester?” Skylar asked.

“Well, when my grades were slipping the coach was going to cut me, so I had to get my act straight and I did” Avery said.

“Any dates?” Skylar asked.

“Well, I broke up with Donna after graduation and yeah there some girls here and there but nothing serious” Avery said.

“So, what about me what’s that about?” Skylar asked.

“Like I said Sky, I have always like since we were each other’s first and it did hurt when we didn’t end up dating after that but at the same time, I am glad we didn’t” Avery said.

“Why?” Skylar asked.

“Because my younger i***t Avery wouldn’t have taken care of you the way the mature and adult Avery is taking care of you and with experience with woman, I have knowledge of now, I am sure I am doing a great job” Avery said.

“Indeed, you are but feels a bit like I am in a dream” Skylar said.

“I promise this is all me, and I will be open with you about my feeling or what I am feeling” Avery said.

“Now just sounds like your acting” Skylar said.

Avery chuckled.

“I’m not acting in time you will understand when you really get to know me” Avery said.

“Okay, so what happen after college” Skylar said.

“After college, I started as an assistant for coach Johnson at the high school during the fall and worked with my father on the days off from the coaching job about one year ago, coach retired, and I became the head coach” Avery said.

“So, will this be your second year as a coach?” Skylar asked.

“Yes and let me tell you coaching can be stressful no wonder coach has those white hair, I mean these kids can be pain but once you crack into there emotions and understand them it’ll become easier” Avery said.

“That’s deep” Skylar said.

“Yeah sometimes, they can be tuff to handle but other times it’s easy” Avery said.

“What about traveling have you traveled anywhere?” Skylar asked.

“All over Texas for conference for coaching and football stuff sometimes work as well the farthest was to Colorado for a client they wanted a cabin up in the forest and man was it freezing cold there even during the summer” Avery said.

“Where else was that the only place?” Skylar asked.

“Yes, oh also Mexico during spring break” Avery said.

“Ohh, so lucky wish I could experience the whole spring break vibe” Skylar said.

“It was crazy don’t remember the whole thing so not that good” Avery said.

Skylar laughed out; Avery chuckled a bit.

“God when are you guys going to f**k! All this talking is boring!” Jacob yelled.

Skylar and Avery laughed out.

“Get some sleep Jacob!” Skylar yelled back.

“Do the nasty” Jacob yelled.

“Ethan make him shut up!” Skylar yelled.

“Get sleep everybody” Ethan yelled.

Skylar and Jacob heard an ouch and Skylar chuckled out.

“We have to whisper now” Skylar whispered out.

“Yes” Avery whispered back.

They both moved closer to each other, and Avery warp his arm around Skylar’s waist their nose was almost touching each other.

“What about you have any guys while you were away?” Avery asked in a whisper.

“A few but nothing serious but didn’t go all the way with some of them. Some were just like were better as friends then relationship type” Skylar whispered back to him.

“You’re just a heartbreaker” Avery whispered to her.

“Yes, I am better watch out” Skylar whispered but stop herself from laughing out.

“Okay easy their tiger” Avery whispered to her.

“Okay, back to questions. What else have you been doing these five years?” Skylar asked.

“Besides football and school, coaching, working, and dating I think that’s mainly all of it” Avery said.

“That’s it?” Skylar asked.

“Yes, told wasn’t much happened in my life ohh, there was one part where I had a stalker in college” Avery said.

“Who?” Skylar asked.

“Some chick but her family got her help, wasn’t much of a big deal, I was just nice to her a few times, and I guess she kind of went overboard in thinking I was hers” Avery said.

“That’s scary” Skylar said.

“I know, I’m just glad that she got help before anybody was hurt” Avery said.

“What time is it?” Skylar asked.

Avery checked his watched.

“Midnight” Avery said.

“I think we should get some sleep if we want to go swimming all day” Skylar said.

“Your right” Avery said.

Skylar and Avery got in a comfortable position, where Skylar laid her back against his chest and they both spoon soon they both fell asleep.
