Jacob's POV

I just finished taking my shower and i was waiting for Lexi to come out. I was channel surfing when I heard someone behind me. "hey handsome" She jumped over the couch and sat next to me. "hey gorgeous" I smiled.

she picked up my arm and wrapped it around herself and cuddled into my side. "I didn't know you knew those boys" I spoke up. "well I met them in the beginning of the summer, and they were nice enough to let me stay with them" I just smiled. but i knew there was more. especially with all the tension there was when sam walked in back at Mallorys.

we sat in silence. it was comfortable, until I could tell she wanted to say something but didn't know what. then It grew awkward as I felt the same way. but I knew what I wanted to ask. just didn't know if I should. "d-do you have a boyfriend?" I eventually stuttered out.

i know, kind of sudden to ask, but I had to know. I may not know this lexi, but every time I look at her I see that little girl I fell in love with. that same seventh grader who always got punished, but her first priority was getting good grades. the same girl who put in her earphones when someone made her mad. the same girl who grew obsessed with piercing her ears ever since her parents let her get her first piercing.

I remember she was nervous and practically begged me to go and hold her hand. and now that I looked at it, she has three on her lobes and a cartilage piercing. pretty hot.

"no. why?" she asked meeting my eyes. "just want to get to know you on a personal level again" I smiled. smooth, Jacob. smooth. "oh" she paused. "well do you have a girlfriend?" I shook my head no and she smiled.

another question came to mind, but I was more straight-forward with this one. "do you wanna go on a date with me tomorrow?" I batted my eyelashes and she laughed. "I'd love to" I smiled from ear-to-ear.

but I had to asked one more thing. "last question, I promise, did you and sammy have a thing going on?" I asked her. she looked away and her eyes looked like they were watering. "y-yea. um, I'm going to sleep" she dragged herself upstairs and onto her bed. I sighed. why did I just ask that?

Lexi's POV

what is wrong with me? i thought I'd be over it by now. but I don't know. someone can't even bring up his name without me acting like a baby.

I'm rarely ever in relationships. and when I am, it never last long. it's like i date, breakup, and I get over it very fast. I'm one of those girls who never really care if they are in a relationship or not. and when I jumped from sam to nate, I didn't know what I was doing. I thought it was okay, but really I'm just toying with their emotions. I'm a terrible person.

and now going on a date with Jacob?

I can't cancel on him though. he'll be crushed and plus this could be a friendly date, you know, for us to catch up.

I sat on the edge of my bed and saw him on the couch staring off into space. he looked mad, but for why? maybe because he asked that question? I have no clue. he shouldn't be mad. he didn't do anything wrong but simply asked me a question.

I laid down and just stared at the ceiling until my eyelids grew heavy and my eyes were burning. i tried fighting it off. but I finally fell into a deep sleep. -

my eyes opened, and I breathed in the heavenly scent. it was pancake mix, eggs, and bacon. I ran down the stairs. "my favorites!" I yelled. he looked up, surprised. "I didn't know you were up, I was going to bring it up to you. but I remember how we always made this--" "with strawberries and whipped cream" we said in sync then laughed together.

he set my food in front of me as I took a seat on the island across from him. I cut my pancake and ate it with the strawberry. "Jacob Michael Whitesides, I love you" I rolled my eyes back from the deliciousness. he chuckled and continued eating his. "where you wanna go today?" he asked me. "you know, I still never been to the beach" he smiled. "I'm bringing you for sure" then I smiled at him.

I put my plate into the sink and laid out on the sofa, at least until twelve o' clock. "I'm going get ready" I told Jacob. he smiled. "okay" I got up and went to my room shuffling through my bathing suits. I came across my black and white triangl bikini and it goes well with my tanned skin. I slipped on my light denim high waisted shorts over it, with a white crop top. and a black floral kimono cardigan to go on top.

I brushed my teeth and brushed my hair. I ran down the stairs. "ready" I smiled and followed him to the car. i was surpised that I was excited to go to the beach. I haven't been to any beach since I was like twelve. The beach was my dad's favorite place so I never ever wanted to see a beach again. but since jacob was the one who helped me through his death, who better than to take me than jacob himself?

he parked and hoped out the vehicle and I got out too. as we got closer and I saw the water, all memories of my dad came to mind but I need to look at it in a positive way like as if this is a way to reconnect with him. a way to get closer. the beach is suppose to relax your mind. so I'll do that.

"you okay?" Jacob asked, putting an arm around me. "yea" I smiled and nodded. we put towels on the sand and I took off my cardigan, along with my shoes, shirt, and shorts. I put on my ray bans and my cardigan right over my bikini. I looked at Jacob who had his shirt off already and I was right.

he's still that lanky kid.

he noticed me looking at him. "what?" he asked, quickly putting his hands over his nipples, making me laugh. "nothing. you just have a body of a ten year old boy" he gasped like he was hurt, but laughed. "I hate being so skinny, but you. your like the perfect size" he said pointing out my body. I blushed and he smiled. he grabbed my hand and interlocked our fingers and we started walking right by the water.

we talked and talked for hours. I told him everything from sam and nate to how I feel about him. "Jacob. I missed you and when I first saw you it was like the spark reconnected" I told him while swinging our arms. he faced me and finally said, "I've missed you so much" he leaned down, I knew he was going to kiss me and I'll be damned if I don't kiss him back.

I got on my tip toes, he put his hands around my waist and I put my arms around his neck. he pecked me, then pulled away but I was still in his grip. we stared into each others eyes for about ten seconds until i hungrily pulled him back down for more. wow. I'm such a slut. but do I care? not at the moment, no.

he picked me up, so now my legs are wrapped around him. I pulled on his hair lightly, and he started running towards the water, I knew this because I heard the water and I felt it because he fell. he was laying on the shallow part and I was on top of him. both of us were laughing and my stomach was hurting. "oh god" he laughed, then stopped. "my stomach hurts now" I said gripping my stomach.

he grabbed my hands and threw me on the water and he was laying besides me. he kissed me again.
"I want to fall in love with you all over again"
