At the Deep End – Chapter 10

The game had been intense. I knew that the team we were playing wasn’t as good as we were, but still. We won, and I had made the final goal. I was proud of the team. Every one of them had played well, and poor Felix had even gotten injured in the process. We had just finished shaking hands with the other team when I saw Jasper’s sister walking up to us.

“Congratulations, brother mine! You guys did good.”

He turned around and made as if to hug Rosalie. She glared at him as she stepped back with a hiss. “Don’t you dare, Jazz!”

He chuckled and held his hands up in surrender. He glanced at Emmett, who stood frozen next to him, his eyes fixed on Rose. I could tell that she was trying hard not to look at him. This should prove interesting….

Good God, when did I turn into such a girl?

I raked my fingers through my hair in frustration. I stood by my bed, contemplating several clothing options. I was starting to feel a little queasy; I was so nervous.

“Oh, for crying out loud!” I yelled into the room as I grabbed my blue shirt, black jeans, some socks, and a pair of boxer briefs. I walked to the bathroom and placed everything neatly by the sink, along with a towel, and turned on the shower as hot as I could stand it.

I saw my reflection in the mirror and sighed. Pull yourself together, man. It’s just dinner with Edward. I stepped under the scalding water, letting the heat soak my body, before turning the temperature down slightly. I took my time, hoping to still my nerves. It helped a little.

I took the laptop to my dad’s office after I figured out what was wrong with it. He was on the phone with his back facing me when I arrived, so I waited just inside the door until he was done. He looked a little startled when he turned back to his desk to hang up the phone and saw me standing there.

“Hey, Dad. Laptop’s fixed.” I held it up and smirked at him. “You should know by now not to try and delete anything from the programs, Dad. Really, how many times now? Four?” I chuckled softly, my eyes dancing with mirth, as I watched him slump in his seat and place a hand over his forehead.

“Again? I apologize, Son. I promise you, no more accidentally deleting anything. Next time, I’ll go straight to you.” He chuckled and shook his head. “Really, Edward. Thank you, and I am sorry.”

When I got home, I went straight to my room and turned on my computer. I usually checked my e-mail before going to bed to make sure I didn’t miss anything important, like a note from a teacher or something. I took Edward’s card out of my pocket, intending to put it by the computer. Instead, I flipped it around and stared at his IM name for a couple of minutes. I tapped the card against my fingers. Ah, what the hell… I logged on to my instant messenger. It hadn’t even finished loading yet when the box came flashing on my screen:

EACullen would like to add you to his or her Messenger List. Accept or Deny?

It was hard to sit and listen to the reason he pulled away from me all those years ago. I had never understood why, after the weeks we’d spent together, he suddenly ignored me. I remembered how much it had hurt me back then.

I wondered why Jazz hadn’t come back to training after the call from his family. I couldn’t very well go out and check. So, I was left to endure the rest of the session without him, until it was time for dinner. I rushed to get showered and dressed, hoping he’d be in the cafeteria already. He wasn’t. I began to worry that something was wrong when I saw him enter the room, walk through the line to grab food, and then move to the opposite side of the room from me. What the hell?

He didn’t meet my eyes as I tried in vain to catch his attention. A funny feeling started to settle in my stomach, and it had nothing to do with the food I’d just consumed.

I could feel my face turning red as I became acutely aware that I was very much naked, and I felt exposed in every way. I grabbed my towel and wrapped it around me, buying some time. My heart felt like it was trying to beat its way out of my chest, I was so nervous. I started chewing the inside of my lip as I watched him.

“Yeah, I did. I’ve been trying to work up the courage to talk to you.” He admitted, shifting from one foot to the other.

Looks like I’m not the only one who’s nervous.

I nodded and let out a gush of air. “At least you found it,” I said in soft whisper. I lowered my eyes to the floor, blushing again. I don’t know whether to kiss him senseless or run like hell…

It had been 6 days since I first saw Jasper. Well, since I saw him again, anyway. And I was certain now, that it was him. The shock of recognizing him, of remembering what happened between us at camp, still hadn’t completely worn off. I was not sure what I was feeling anymore. My emotions have been all over the map.

He’s changed a bit over the years. Obviously. I mean, fuck, 10 years does a lot, especially since we were only 16 at the time. He certainly does look good. I sighed and glanced over at him again. It was just before training and Jasper stood to the side. He looked lost in thought and I couldn’t help but wonder what he was thinking about.

It was the week from hell.

There was, of course, more training – two days of it, in fact. On the second night, we all decided to go grab something to eat in the cafeteria afterward. Everyone was in good spirits as they talked about an upcoming game while I still felt on edge. I tried to hide it, but it was nearly impossible as I sat trying not to look at Edward…only to fail and steal glances at him repeatedly. There was a lot of talk, both about the game and about stuff in general, but I had no idea what was said. After we sat and ate for a while, we all headed home, much to my relief.

Damn, I’m late…

I had rushed home from the airport to grab my swimming gear and hopefully make it to my class on time. I’d missed the last month with the kids at the pool, thanks to back-to-back conferences. I hated going to those things, but they were part of what I’d signed up for. Well, mostly. I might be working for the family company, but I still had to keep up to date on what went on in the computer business, living up to my father’s expectations.

Cullen or no, it was important to stay ahead of the game.

A/N: this story is already posted on fanfiction.net. Many people have helped me with it to varying degrees – betas, sounding boards, legal advice, and medical. Thank you all, for everything you’ve done over the years to help make these boys come to life. It’s been a long journey that will finally close after five years.

Thank you, reader, for your patience and support during this time. It’s meant the world to me.

If you’re new to At the Deep End, I ask that you please bear in mind that this was my very first attempt at writing. I’ve elected to not change anything from when I first started. This is my baby, and I’ve grown along with it, as I hope you can see once we arrive at the other end.

In the mean time, enjoy.

The sound of my whistle pierced the air once .

“Go!”

I smiled as I watched the kids jump into the water at the same time. Feet first, of course, some holding their noses and scrunching their eyes shut as they hit the water. They quickly resurfaced and treaded water as they held out their arms for balance .
