nessas pov:
so i decided for our date that we could do a beach day because i've never seen the paparazzi at the beach and brynn hasn't gone to a beach since she was 15.

i set up a blanket and brought my pasta recipe, cookies, grapes, and starbucks drinks because who doesn't love starbucks?

i put a tarp over it so nobody stole the food and then at around 3pm drove to sway to pick up brynn. we both turned off our snap location so nobody could see that we were alone together. brynn had told the boys that she was going to the mall.

"wow you're amazing," i smile at brynn as she walks out.

"how so?" she asks as hops in the car.

"you're just so effortlessly pretty, like no matter what you're wearing or if you have on makeup or not you're always gonna be beautiful," i say honestly to her. god i can almost hear bryce calling me a simp.

brynn looks at me with a shy smile. "i could say the same about you. wait, we're eating right?"

"yes of course," i laugh.

"good because food is important," she says.

"i could literally just give you some chicken nuggets and you would be happy," i chuckle.

"i'm a simple person: i have food, i'm happy," she shrugs.

"luckily for you, you're gonna have food," i tell her. "but can't you not taste?"

"my taste is slowly coming back, this morning i had waffles and i could taste the sweetness of them," she says excitedly.

"yaaayyy!!" i cheer.

--------

"voila!" i present to her the picnic i set up.

her hand slaps over her mouth and then she smiles. "wow nessa, this is amazing!" she pulls me into a hug. "YAY! the pasta!!" she realizes.

"yes the pasta is one of the very few meals i can make," i laugh.

"it's worth it. can we eat now?" she asks as we sit down.

"of course, i didn't bring all of this for nothing," i say.

brynns pov:
"so are you thinking what i'm thinking," i point to the ocean after we ate.

"fuck yeah!" she agrees and we take off our tees and shorts and run into the water holding hands.

"SHIT! i don't remember it being this cold!" i squeal at the feeling.

"well it's been 3 years," she says. "but you're right."

"well i'll get used to it," i nod and dunk under the water. then, i grab nessa's arm and pull her under too. she lets out a scream and i burst out laughing.

"FUCK YOU!" she says laughing.

"maybe tonight," i wink.

"shittt okay," she winks back and then we both giggle.

"janesa jaida barrett, may i have this dance?" i ask in a very proper tone, putting my hands out.

"first of all, never call me janesa again, but yes of course," she smiles.

"sorry janesa," i joke and she punches me lightly. "hey hey, i'm sorry, no need to get aggressive ma'am."

neither of us know how to dance so we just kinda played around and spun each other a few times. it was honestly really fun.
