The SJS Story and The Bonfire

Okay so yesterday, I went to a bonfire with my old Magnet friends, which are the people who I've basically stuck with for three years through middle school. There's this guy. His name's Steven, and everyone's always thought that he was kinda "hot" but nobody ever really went for him cause he always had a girlfriend and stuff.

And knowing me, I've always been a sucker for white guys with gorgeous eyes, and a hot bod. And um, Mr. Steven had fit all of these categories. I've always said that Steven was "hot" but I always meant it in a joking way cause I knew that Steven was a big flirt and that he could be an arrogant jerk sometimes, so I never thought that I'd ever feel anything for him, nor did I really want to or care.

But then we were at the beach and I knew Steven was going to be there. So I thought to myself, okay, whatever, he's gonna take his shirt off and look hot. No big deal. But like I said, Mr. Steven was a flirt. And it just happens that on that day, he decides that he would flirt with me.

And so the SJS story begins.

There are these three little kids that are around the age of 7-9. Alexis, Adrian, and Daniel. Daniel is nine, super adorable, and he's Steven's brother. The little kids wanted to play at the playground near the pier, so I was put in charge to watch Daniel. Me, 2 of my best friends [Khadija and Zoya], Steven, and Keith took the three kids to the play ground.

Right before we left, Steven took his shirt off. So I was pretty much asdfghjkl. I'm gonna try not to gross you guys out here, but he was in black slim jeans, shoes, with a muscular bodaaay. The three of us girls, being girls, talked about how niceee his body looked. [And Keith, if you're reading this, we think you have pretty nice abs, too]

The girls were on the swings and the guys plus the two little boys were climbing up this eiffel tower thing. It had ropes and everything, so it was meant for climbing. We had no idea what Keith and Steven were doing, but they had climbed to the top, were facing each other, and were shaking the tower.

"I bet you they're gonna start kissing soon."
"No, I bet they're gonna start pole dancing or something"
"I just hope one of them falls off."
Haha, I love my girls!

But the sun was shining down in the most perfect spot on the guys and we were all kinda just asdfghjkl. They can be huge idiots, but hey, they're cute, right? Well, I thought Steven was, anyway. Me and Keith used to be best friends, so I couldn't really like him, you know?

Anyway, Keith and Steven got down from the tower and come over to the swing sets. Steven was attempting to climb up this slanted pole that held the swing set in place. On his second try, he'd made it and let me tell you, his arm muscles are prettyyy big. You know the bar on top that supports all the swings where the swings hang from? Well Steven was hanging from it. Literally right. Next. To. Me. So I was basically asdfghjklasdfghjklasdfghjklasdfghjklasdfghjklasdfghjklasdfghjkl at that point. But of course, I didn't show it on the outside. I was scared that he was gonna accidentally kick me, so I kept screaming don't kick me! But oh my gosh, his torso's um, jaw dropping?

Well there was this boat thing that you could climb on, so Me, Khadija, and Zoya climbed on it and just stared at the guys climb the eiffel tower again with the sun still shining down. And then I remembered that Alexis was still on the swings. So I volunteered to take her back cause I figured that she was pretty bored. Suddenly Steven said "No you can't leave, you have to stay."

I asked him why and he told me that I just can't. So he made up an excuse and said that I had to take care of Daniel, even though he and Keith were perfectly capable of taking care of one boy.

So I walked her back and then came back to the ship thing and found Steven, Keith, and Marty sitting up there. Zoya sat in the sand and Khadija and I sat on top away from the guys. They were tossing around the tennis ball and Daniel was trying to get it, but then Daniel came and sat next to me. Yay, I like him, he's cute. Steven told Zoya to give him back the tennis ball, but she wouldn't so he said that if she didn't he'd tackle her. We didn't think he'd actually do it but next thing you know, Steven was awkwardly crouching over her trying to get the tennis ball while Zoya was wilding kicking. Pretty funny, if you ask me. haha

Well we all had to go back to where the group was and then we all went down to the water. I was tossing around the football with Khadija and then I accidentally hit Zoya in the arm, so then I was also throwing it to Keith, purposefully trying to aim it at Zoya. And then Steven grabbed Zoya's phone and tossed it back and forth with Keith. It was pretty obvious that Steven was um, flirting with Zoya, but she looked awfully tired so I decided to help her get it back. After that, I sat down next to Chelsea in the sand. And I threw sand at Steven and he told me that if I threw said at him again, he'd pour some on my head. Not very threatened, I took a handful of sand a chucked it at him. And next thing I knew, there was sand all over my hair.

I was like ugh, you got sand down my back! And he said yea? Well you got sand down my pants! And I said, good. Maybe Keith can get it out for you. And he goes no, that's your job. So I was just kinda like um, awkwardd! I walked away and later, me, Zoya, Chelsea, Steven, Keith, and Marty were having a grape fight. Awfully funny, if I do say so myself.

Well then later, I needed to go to the bathroom and Steven was taking his little brother as well. Steven was still shirtless and I was still asdfghjkl, so I made Zoya come with me cause that picture of me, Steven, and his little brother looked EXTREMELY weird in my head. As we were all walking, Daniel very adorably in his nine year old voice says Hi Julie! And Steven says hey, stop taking my game! And I said excuse me? YOUR game? And Steven says yea, I got game. I think I was blushing. I don't really remember. But also a bit later, Steven was still bare chested so I told him to put a shirt on, but he said nah, I think I look better with it off.

So then when it got a bit darker, Chelsea looked really upset and so it brought the mood down for me and Zoya. Chelsea went to take a walk along the beach with some friends, so me and Zoya decided to do the same thing, but walk in a different area. As we were walking, Keith very nicely aimed a football at us, which I so amazingly blocked before it hit anyone. I picked it up and decided to hold onto it cause I didn't wanna be hit with it again. We continued walking and out of no where, Steven unexpectedly comes up and grabs my waist to stop me from walking and seizes the football out of my hands.

Once we had lit the fire, he FINALLY put a shirt on. And I said, oh hey, you finally put a shirt on. Then he says well, I can take it off if you want me to. In my head, I was like OKAY! But I just laughed and walked away. Then when everyone was leaving, I decided to say bye to him. So I came up to him and he said why're you wearing shoes? Confused, I looked down and he did the nose flick. And then I fell for it again. Haha. Well I gave him a hug, the one where I wrapped my arms around his waist and he wrapped his arms over my shoulders. I'm not gonna lie, it was nice. Mainly cause I don't ever hug guys. It lasted maybe, 5 seconds? And then me, Steven, and Marty started talking about their basketball team, since they're on the same team. I told him that he didn't have a 6 pack like he told me he did, but he told me to wait until basketball conditioning and he would have one. And then he had to leave, so he gave me a quick hug cause his mom was looking.

Alright, well I left the beach so freaking SMITTEN. I had caved. I didn't care that this guy was a major flirt. I was infatuated. I sat in the car listening to Hey Stephen by Taylor Swift on my iPod. And I put it on repeat. Oh my gosh, what the heck was I getting myself into?

Well today, I was talking to Steven for two hours on AIM. I was sort of scolding him for being a flirt cause he could really hurt girls' feelings by doing that. We just kept talking. On and on and on. Then I told him he had no abs. And he told me to shut the fuck up. Now if any other guy said this to me, I'd be sad and upset. But with Steven, I was more confident. I wasn't upset. I was MAD. And I stupidly said "And to think I was ACTUALLY slightly infatuated with you!" That caught his attention. "You were? Really?" I said yes and just told him to talk to me later when he was in a better mood. But he said "I'm not in a bad mood. And I was sort of slightly infatuated with you yesterday too"

Ugh, crap. WHY does he always have to make me melt when I was just beginning to not care? Well, he asked me if I was still infatuated with him right now. I said no. But that was a lie. I still kinda did like him. I asked him if he was still infatuated with ME. And he repeatedly said maybe. So I took it as a yes. And I told him that he was interested in a relationship, but with me, it was just an infatuation, so he's just going to get over me soon. And then he says, well if I begin to go out with this person that I'm infatuated with, then I won't stop liking her. Wooowie. He really did know how to charm a girl. Well, he asked me again if I was still infatuated with him. And I said no again and asked him why he asked me twice. He said that he wanted to be sure I wasn't lying. I asked him if he wanted me to be lying. He said maybe. I was on the verge of telling him that I lied and that I was still into him. But I didn't.

We started talking about this girl he talked to on myspace, but has never met. He proceeded by telling me that he was no longer infatuated with me and that he had in fact been infatuated with HER for a month and that he was thinking of asking her out while they hung out at his pool yesterday. Well great, I half felt relieved that he didn't like me cause that meant that I wouldn't have to fall for him since he's a flirt. And the other half of me just felt used. But whatever, he's a flirt and I'm not gonna go for a guy who can't even get his feelings straight.

Thanks for bearing with my story! If any of you are in this situation, I hope this helps you out somehow! And remember that a guy who will not dedicate his whole self to you is sooo not worth it! I got over him pretty quickly to my surprise. But then again, I only liked him for a day. haha. Okay, bye pretty girlies! Don't forget to smile! You're all beautiful!
