Thrill-Ville

Chapter Eight

Chapter Eight -

I browsed through the sale rack as Joor tried on every item in the store "How about this for today?" She asked, eyeing herself in the mirror. She was wearing a pair of high wasted denim mini shorts with a striped asymmetrical hem shirt.

"It looks great! It'll look super cute with your bikini" I smiled, turning my head back to the sale rack. Joor walked over and joined me.

"Oh look at this" She pulled out a low-cut tank top that was bright red. Across the chest in glitter it said Too Hot To Handle. "Try it on" She threw it at me. I pulled out a hot pink version of the top that said Princess and passed it to her

"Two can play this game" I winked, walking into the change room. I starred at myself in the mirror as I wore the top. Sexy would be the last word I would use to describe myself. There's a reason I play a cute Tinkerbell at work, and not a sexy evil villain. I stepped out of the change room, pulling the low neckline of the top a little higher so it covered more of my chest

"You have a choice" Joor slung an arm around me "either you buy it, or I buy it for you" She hugged me with her one arm as I rolled my eyes

"Please Joor, hot is the last word I would consider myself. I'm more of the cutesy, annoying little sister type" I turned to see the back of the shirt. It did hang nicely... I ended up buying the shirt. I didn't want Joor using her money on me. On our way to the cash register to pay she picked up a mustard yellow silk scarf. "What's that for?" I asked, slightly repulsed by the colour

"This is our signal" She threw her stuff on the counter top "So when we have guests over the other person will know" She whispered loudly as she blushed

"So it means Liam's over?" I teased, causing her to go even more red

"If Zayn come you'll appreciate it" she tried to defend herself as she swiped her limitless credit card.

"Yeah if" I muttered to myself. I miss Zayn... I missed Zayn a lot. I'm yet to hear from him since our fast phone call. He promised that he would call me back, so I'm just waiting for that. I pay for the top before walking out with Joor.

"So Cait, are you ready?" She smiled at me as we exited the mall

"You bet! I could use a distraction" I smiled weakly

"Still nothing from Zayn?" she asked, shocked by the lack of contact "Maybe you should call him" She suggested. I shrugged

"I'll call tomorrow, let's just have some fun today" I winked at her as we loaded up her mini with our bags.

We walked up to the beach house each carrying our own beach bags a few blankets, and both walking with a cooler between us filled with snacks. "The party just got hotter!" Niall yelled as we walked down the side of the house to the private beach. Louis ran up to take the cooler from us. He smiled when he saw my shirt

"Too hot to handle now?" He raised an eyebrow suggestively

"It was Joor's idea" I pointed to her shirt

"Princess... Sounds about right" Louis joked, getting a push from Joor

"Shut it you" she giggled, walking up to the boat, which was larger than what I was expecting. The boat was a big speed boat. It had the captains wheel and a bench seat, and behind it was about ten feet of space that was lined with enough seats to comfortably sit the whole group. I waded into the water towards the dock. I climbed up and walked onto the boat

"Hey I'm Cait" I waved at the girl who was sitting next to Harry

"Hi I'm Tara" She snuggled shyly into Harry's arm. I couldn't help but awe at the cuteness overload between them. I turned to take a seat when I noticed Niall get on with two guitars

"You guys play?" I asked, suddenly intrigued

"Yeah we jam a bit" Niall smiled at me, laying the two cases down "do you?" I nodded enthusiastically

"I've been playing guitar since I was twelve. I have seven guitars now. I really wish I could have brought Springsteen with me" I slumped into my chair

"Springsteen?" Harry looked at me confused "I thought Zayn was your boyfriend" I couldn't help but laugh

"Springsteen is the name of one of my guitars. There's Springsteen, Danny, David, Jasmine, Bowie, and Dougie my bass" I grinned proudly

"Let me guess, You're a fan of Springsteen, David Bowie, Mcfly... and Disney?" Tara looked at me for confirmation

"Let's get this show on the road" Joor yelled as she climbed onto the boat with a flustered Liam in tow

"Do you two ever not have sex?" Niall asked, teasing the couple as they sat down

"You're only jealous" Liam deafened slinging an arm around Joor "of my total babe girlfriend" He kissed Joor's cheek

"Dude please, that's my sister" Louis complained as he joined us on the boat wearing a sailors hat. "All aboard?" He shouted, looking at the passengers

"Louis you're on a boat, not a train, you moron" Harry rolled his eyes

"Ok, anchors up!" He shouted as Niall untied the boat from the dock. Louis started up the engine as Niall sat next to him on the bench by the wheel. I sat quietly by myself, enjoying the wind passing through my hair. I pulled on my sunglasses and took in the sun. I couldn't help but feel more depressed over Zayn watching Joor, Liam, Harry, and Tara while cruising down the coast. I let out a sigh before letting my eyes drift off into the ocean. Today is about having fun. I can have guiltless fun without Zayn. Right?

We slowed down and stopped near an old light house half an hour later. Niall and Louis quietly argued over how to drop the anchor before everyone heard chains rolling and a thud. The two smiled triumphantly. "We're here" Louis chanted as we all cheered. Liam threw down a rope ladder and climbed down into the thigh high water. I looked over and turned to Joor

"I guarantee I'm going to be at least waist deep" Joor giggled

"Come on you're not that short.. I'd say chin deep" I gasped and pretended to be hurt by her comment. She looked around the boat and pointed at a life ring "You could wear that so we don't lose your tininess" I couldn't help but laugh.

"Joor you're so mean" I pouted. Harry and Tara climbed down next. They carried the cooler between them. Joor and Niall hopped off, carrying the guitars over their heads.

"Right, that looks like everything" Louis did a quick check of the boat before facing me "Ready for a swim?" I bit my lip and nodded

"You go first and tell me how deep it is" I stepped back

"Can you swim?" He asked, confused by my hesitation

"Yeah, I legally can lifeguard back home in Canada" I was insulted that he would think such a thing

"Then why are you scared?" He provoked.

"Because I'm a decent head shorter than Joor and the water nearly when up to her butt" I stared at him blankly "I don't want to get soaked before I hit the beach" Louis rolled his eyes at me

"Girls, you're all confusing" he climbed down and I followed. The water came up to just under my chest. I could hear Joor laughing at the shore

"Cait you're so cute and short" she yelled, watching me make my way to the shore. I looked around to try to find Louis. I felt two strong arms around my waist

"Louis!" I screamed too late. I was thrown into the air and I crashed into the water. "Lou!" I screamed once I'd broken the surface, I saw him laughing uncontrollably at me "You're such an ass!" I splashed water at him

"I'm an ass? Well you're an arse then" He splashed water back, mimicking my accent. I walked onto the shore soaking wet with my wet beach bag.

"Good thing I left my cell phone on the boat" I sighed, pulling out my soaking wet belongings and setting them out on the beach to dry in the sun. I reached into the boys beach bag and pulled out a towel

"Hey that's mine!" Louis pointed out, I threw my soaking wet towel at him

"Karma" I winked, drying myself off.
