Lets Start Over

Wade shouted, “Commander! Mia! You guys are just in time for round two.”

Remembering what happened after the last guy touched me, I wiggled free from Wade’s hold. “What’s wrong?” Wade asked.

Mia grabbed Evanders hand and tugged him towards the water until they were floating next to us. And without any words, she jumped on his shoulders.

“Alright, now it’s a game.” Wade playfully said. He seemed to be the only one who was unaware of the situation. And I was partly to blame.

Wade tried to help me back upon his shoulders, but I panicked. I moved away from him.

“Don’t be rude Zaya. Get up there.” Evander said to me with no emotion. I couldn’t help but fear what would happen next.

I did what was asked of me and got back on Wade’s shoulder.

Mason, Wade, and Evander moved in circles trying to give us girls an advantage. But I was the only one not reaching out. I kept my hands planted on Wade’s head to hold my balance while I watched the other girls go at it.
