Love at the X Factor (on hold) :(

Chapter 3

When I woke up, we had landed in Los Angeles. Luckily, my mom had arranged for us to have a rental car, and we headed to the hotel.

"Wow! This is amazing!" I said, dropping my suitcase and running out onto the balcony, looking down at the beach. The sun hit the water, making it look as if it was glittering.

"Can we go swimming, Mommy?" I heard Jake ask.

"Yeah, Mommy, can we?" Blake repeated, making her laugh.

"Y'all can, me and Jakey are gonna go to the store and we'll be back soon."

"But I wanna swim!" Jake whined.

"Later, baby. Lets go to the store. We can get Spider-Man!" He cheered up at that and they left right away to get groceries.

"Wanna go swim, Blake?"

"Sure." He dug around in his suitcase and grabbed his swim trunks and running off to the bathroom. I dug around in my suitcase, looking for my bikini.

"Blake, did you pack my swimsuit?" I asked once he exited the bathroom. He stopped and looked at me.

"Oops."

"Blake!" I yelled, throwing down the T-shirt I was holding.

"I'm sorry! I saw a shop on the way up here. We can go get you a swimsuit."

"Ugh okay. Let me go change into some shorts and then we can leave." He nodded and I hurried to change and run a brush through my hair. I slid on some flip flops and me and Blake were on our way.

"I'm surprised it's not cold." I said as we walked out into the sun. I was gonna have to buy some sunglasses since Blake sat on mine last week. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and turned it on, sliding it back in my shorts, knowing how long an iPhone takes to turn on.

"It's right over there. On the beach." Blake pointed to the little shack shop. I nodded and we walked over to it. I was walking through the racks when I bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry!" I looked up and saw a rather cute guy. I blushed.

"It's fine, babe. The name's Wesley." He grinned.

"I'm Bella." I smiled as I snatched up a blue bikini and checked the price. $10.57? Not bad. I went over to the checkout when I could feel someone behind me as I purchased a pair of Aviators I spotted and my swimsuit. I turned around and jumped back, as I bumped into someone else.

"Sorry!" I apologized quickly.

"It's fine. I'm Keaton." He smirked and I gave him a look. He looked like that Wes guy.

"You found Bella I see, little bro." Wes jogged over.

"Cool name." Keaton smiled.

"Thanks. Are y'all from around here?" I asked.

"No. We came here from Florida for break and while we're here, we are auditioning for X Factor with our band mate, Drew. Who I have know idea where he is." Wes said. I chuckled.

"You're not from Cali, are you?" Keaton asked. I shook my head.

"I'm from Texas, but I live in Arizona currently. I'm also trying out for X Factor." I smiled proudly.

"That's cool! Oh, hey! There's Drew." Keaton pointed and I turned around.

"Drew, this is Bella. She's from Texas but lives in Arizona." Wesley said.

"I could tell. Pretty girls tend to come from Texas." He winked and I blushed.

"Are y'all like a boyband or something? Like One Direction?" I grinned.
