love is an open door - anna, frozen

"That was... awesome!" Becca squeals, making me laugh again, throwing my head back.

"Those boys were staring at you!" Maxi squeals, looking between the road and me. They seem more excited than me, but on the inside I'm buzzing, my rib cage closing in on me almost.

"I really didn't expect that," I defend, my cheeks hurting from how hard I'm smiling. A boy actually asked me for my snap.

"That was hilarious, though," Becca adds, and I nod my head along.

"He was kinda adorable. He seemed so nervous, but in like such a sweet way." I replay the scene in my head, smiling at the cute boy known as Brody. "And his name's Brody."

"Cute name for a Florida boy." My Aunt winks at me, and I laugh, rolling my eyes. It is a stereotypical name for a boy who looks like a surfer.

"Cute boy," Becca corrects, and I giggle.

"Pretty cute," I agree.

"Oh, my God. What are you gonna tell M? He's gonna kick your ass if he finds out," Becca points out, and I shrug. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous, but it's just a snap.

"Then he doesn't find out. What happened today stays between us," I gesture to the three of us. "Mm-k?"

"K, Ky. Whatever you say," Aunt Maxi says, patting my shoulder.

"I don't care. I won't say anything as long as you don't mess with me," she negotiates, and I laugh.

"Deal," I agree with her and sit back in my seat. We make it a little farther before I get a Snapchat from Brody.

Brodster53: Hey this is Brodys brother Dylan and I just wanted to let you know that he was scared to text you because he's a big baby and didn't want to say anything to embarrass himself

Me: Haha good to know 😂

Brody: God they got my phone I'm so sorry, please ignore my brothers text 🙄

Me: It's cool, I'll forget I ever saw it

Brody: So I just wanted to let you know that I'm not sure how it came off but I don't want you to think I was cat-calling you cause I would never do that

Brody: I didn't know making a comment to my brother about a beautiful girl would make him talk to you

Brody: Anyway just wanted to make sure you know that I wasn't being a jerk, you just really caught my eye

Me: Brody calm down I think a cat-call would be when a guy whistles and calls you hot. You used the word beautiful, gorgeous and I think even pretty was in that mix 😂

Me: All I'm saying is that I know you weren't being rude. It was sweet and I'm sorry if I reacted weird I'm just not really used to guys doing it

Brody: How are you not used to it? You're beautiful, but I'm also guessing that there's a lot more to you then just your appearance

Me: Thank you, but it just doesn't happen. 😊I'm sorry, but I gotta go, I'll text you later?

Brody: You got it 😉

When I shut off my phone, I look up and see us parked by a large restaurant on the beach and look through Maxi's now closed window to see the sand of the beach.
