The secrets of summer

Chapter 24

A yellow Camaro pulls up and Hunter gets out. The car is just like the house, expensive and high end.

"You ready to go?" he asks.

I look back to the house waiting for Colton to come through the doors. I turn back around and nod.

I walk around to the passenger side of the car and Hunter surprises me by opening it. I smile for the sweet gesture. I've noticed he's a huge romantic, sweet gestures are defiantly his thing.

We pull out of the driveway and he asks "Where do you want to go?"

I think about it before answering, my stomach growls and I reply "An ice cream parlor, please."

He smiles and nods "Good choice, I would love some too!"

We arrive at the ice cream shop and have gotten our flavours. It turns out that we both like the same kind. Double fudge cookie dough. We have both loved it since we were young and knew the first time we had it that was our favorite flavor.

I'm glad to know we have something in common. If our parents ever get together it will give us something to talk about. Even if it is ice cream.

"Where to now?" he asks. Once again I'm unsure. The beach maybe? It's been like three weeks since I've been.

"What time is it?" I ask, I told my mom I'd be home around two in the morning.

He checks his watch "It's only ten thirty. What time do you have to be home at?"

"My mom wants me home around two." I sigh. He smiles and flashes his white teeth.

"Well your mom is at my place, so I don't think she'll be worrying about you."

I smile back at him and suggest "Let's go to the beach!"

I'm in the water and it's up to my waist. Swimming at night is much better in the movies than right now. It's freezing.

Hunter pulls his shirt over his head and his pants down. He's now only in his boxers.

He isn't in as good of shape as Colton or Austin, he has a more childish look. But his muscles are still visible.

He swims out and stands beside me in the water. I'm staring at his body, and I know he can feel my eyes on him. "How far do you want to go?" he asks.

I start to blush and I'm unsure of what he meant. "What exactly do you mean?" my voice cracks and I'm even more embarrassed.

Hunter looks away and I can tell he knows what I mean. "Like how far do you want to swim?"

I laugh and say "That makes more sense! I guess until I can't swim any more." We swim out and are lost at sea for a very relaxing, peaceful hour and a half.
