Saving Grace

Chapter 18: 4th of July Fun

Last night was pretty eventful. We had a bonfire and made s'mores like the little kids that we are. Scott and Stiles told ghost stories while Allison and I just stared at them like they were crazy. We stayed up late to watch the fireworks crew light up a few. The whole camp grounds is having this massive 4th of July barbecue at the park, that's happens to be next to a lake. All the younger ones are gonna play in the park, while all of us teens get the lake. Allison and I went into town yesterday to do a little shopping for today. It's hot as heck over here and we don't have swimsuits for tonight.

"What about this one?" Allison asked holding up a neon yellow bikini.

"No. It'll make you look like a lemon," I told her scrunching up my face.

"You're right," she told me as she put it back. I saw one that was the 'Little Einsteins' and jokingly put it off the shelf.

"How hot would I look in this?" I asked putting it up against me and posing.

"Gorgeous. Stiles wouldn't be able to keep his hands off you," she replied sounding like a fashion designer. We both laughed our heads off as I put it back. We spent a couple more hours shopping before we finally found the perfect bikini. Allison's is white with a camo floral design to it and mine is a dip-dyed bandeau that has slits on the sides of the bottoms. We also bought matching themed bathing suits. The guys said they got body paint for all the teens that's waterproof, so when it gets dark we can draw on ourselves. The barbecue was already starting by the time we got back from town. Allison and I quickly got changed into the themed bikinis and threw on shirts and a tank.

"Took you two long enough," Scott said when we joined them by the bbq pit.

"Hey. Give women money, a car, and the freedom to go shopping, we may just take all day," I pointed out to him wrapping my arms around Stiles waist. He nodded agreeing with me and went back to helping barbecue. We spent pretty much all day either swimming, eating, dancing, or talking to the other teens that were there. Stiles and Scott couldn't keep their hands off Alli and I. they did it just to tell the other boys we're theirs. It was cute watching Stiles being protective. We continued being teens until the fireworks display went on. They were absolutely gorgeous. I haven't seen one since I was two. That was a year before he left us. Once they were done, all the adults and young children went back to the cabins and us teens partied. HARD. Let's just being Irish has its benefits, but not tonight. The last thing I remember about the night is leaving the party with Stiles.
