the whys of that. I leapt onto the back of his bike and held his hips.
    “Where are we going?” I asked, not letting on that I already knew.
    “I’m taking you swimming. I know how much you love the watering hole and I should take you more, but I’ve been busy.”
    There was guilt in his tone that I wasn’t used to, so I wrapped my arms around his waist and squeezed. “It’s okay. Thanks for letting me come,” I mumbled into his back.
    I was getting too big to ride on the back of his bike but the dirt roads we had to take had blind spots so Jonah always felt safer with me on his bike.
    And from behind him I could watch Dalton without worrying Jonah would catch my lingering gaze. From the first night Dalton kissed me, he found it hard to keep the kisses from happening on a regular basis, and I wasn’t complaining. I never felt more alive than when I was with him, locked in a bind of lust. I’d become bolder with him, letting my hands wander to new places on his body, and every time he would groan and then pull away to shower. I was fifteen, and growing more into a woman every day. I liked to tease him by showing more revealing clothes, and when he sneaked through my bedroom window at night to lay with me until I fell asleep, I wore the tiniest of shorts. I knew he would be my first and I didn’t want to wait, but he did, which almost killed me every time I felt the warm planes of his body against mine. Most girls are scared of losing their virginity, but I wasn’t. I couldn’t wait to give myself to Dalton, to complete our connection. I was made for him and him alone, so waiting didn’t make sense to me.
    When we arrived, there were others there from our school, including Lisa and Lacy, who both made short time of flouncing over to Jonah and Dalton. They both wore tiny two-pieces that showed off their bodies.
    “Hey, Alex. It’s good to see you outside of school,” Lacy said with a genuine smile, and I returned it with one of my own that quickly slipped from my face when Lisa laughed at something Dalton said.
    “You been dumped babysitting?” Lisa sniggered to Dalton while looking at me.
    I felt the flush of my cheeks. The last thing I needed was that horrible witch pointing out my youth to everyone. There wasn’t even that much of a difference, and as I aged, that difference became less significant.
    “I don’t need a babysitter.” I smirked at her and the boys she was with as they approached us. “I’m not a kid anymore.”
    I reached down to the hem of my tee and lifted it from my body, showing off my C cups in a string white bikini I’d bought at the mall after school last week with money Mom had given me for a one-piece.
    All eyes were on me and I basked in the attention.
    Yeah, you won’t always be able to play the young card, Lisa.
    I began unbuttoning my shorts when Jonah’s hand grasped my wrist. My heart skipped.
    “What the hell is that?” He snarled, staring at my bikini top.
    “A swimsuit.”
    “Like fuck, Alex. You don’t need to act like these whores to make a statement. You’re better than all of them.”
    Lisa’s snort at his statement was ignored.
    “I’m not a baby anymore, Jonah, and I want to wear what the hell I want, not for anyone else, but for me. I like it.”
    I moaned sounding like a baby sister to my own ears.
    “Do you know how many punks I’m going to have to punch just because you want to flaunt yourself?”
    God, was I ever going to be allowed to grow up?
    “I’ll keep an eye on her, Jonah. Let her have some fun. It’s hot as hell out here and all the girls have on less than her,” Dalton said, and caused dragonflies to flutter in my gut.
    “Fine, but you’re keeping the shorts on.”
    I huffed out a puff of air in frustration and shook my head in defeat. “Whatever.”
    I pushed past my brother and waded straight into the water. I felt the ripples move behind me and turned to see Lisa had followed me in.
    “You might have grown some tits but
