Because You Grew Up

crazy night

Shopping was a blast. But when is it not. Once Charlie changed we went out into the little town near the resort (or whatever you wanna call it) and went to the first shop we saw.

There were all sorts of clothing, from neon colored tops to spandex shorts, no joke. The shop was small but gave off a cozy almost homish vibe, so that was nice. A little reminder of home.

6 hours later, a car ride across town, plus 50 bucks, we are both here plopped on the couch in the family room. Its around 6:30 and we just had dinner so I'm lying on the couch trying to get fat. Just kidding.

DING

I pick up my phone and see an Instagram notification. I open it up and the first thing I see is what looks like a party boat with purple neon lights coming from led strips that are hung all around the boat. Beneath the image there are words.

Party on the water, wear your swimsuit cause your just bound to get wet.

Then I find the time and destination right below it.

Its party time!

I text everyone in the group chat we made on the plane and tell them to get ready in their swimsuit and meet me in the lobby in 15 minutes.

"Charlie, come on"

"What's going on"

"There's a boat party tonight and we're going"

"Ugh, do I have to come"

"Yes, now get up, I'll let you borrow a bikini"

We make our way into my room and to the drawer that holds my swimsuits. She picks out a bubblegum colored one and I go for an olive green one that wraps around my back.

I pull on some short black ripped shorts and she grabs black lounge shorts that barely cover her ass.

"Are you sure you wanna wear that"

"Yeah why not"

"Would Tyler approve"

"He's not here is he. Besides he doesn't care what I wear although...I should send him a pic, I'm sure he would appreciate that"

She hands me her phone and she squats down and leans forward showing as much cleavage as she can while she looks to the side.

Girls these days.

I show her the pic I took and she smiles, hitting send and adding a text underneath that I cant quite see since its tilted away from me.

I go to the bathroom and don't bother with any makeup but instead comb my hair. Charlie takes the brush out of my hand before I'm even done and I just walk out trying to show her I'm annoyed but all I get is a smile, of course.

I slide on a pair of black flip flops and give Charlie a pair I found in Taylor's room. As we make our way down into the lobby I can already hear one of the twins arguing with the other about who knows what and Nicole talking to brook. Cole and Asher are standing on the other side of the room with a respectful distance between the two.

Taylor is nowhere to be found.

"Where's Taylor"

"I don't know said she had to use the bathroom"

"Oh ok thanks nic"

We all begin our way down the stairs and towards the beach that then leads to the dock a half mile down. Then I hear someone running behind me and as I turn around I don't get to see who it is because I'm on the sand and a weight is piled on top of me.
