Until next lifetime (Blake Gray)

10

My semester in England is finally over, and summer's finally here. England was amazing, I met a lot of people and got to learn a lot. It was a great opportunity, and I'm so thankful but I did miss home.

"Hi Percy!" I said excited greeting my pug. He was all over me with the happiest attitude

"Hello Beau!" I hugged my little brother

"I missed you, Mag, don't ever do this again. It was very boring without you."

I started giving him kisses all over his face. I hope this kid never changes the sweet heart he has,

"We're back!" I heard. Blake and Josh were at the front door with balloons

"Hey guys!" Beau fist bumped both of them

"How are you, little one?" Blake said messing his hair giving him a tight hug

"You guys missed each other?" I chuckled

"Miss each other? Blake visited every week!" Beau laughed

"You made plans without me?" I said hurt

"We needed to catch up." Blake shrugged

"Thank you for taking care of him." I said giving Blake a hug

"Always." He winked

I was definitely not expecting the weird feeling I had before I left to still be around. I thought it was a temporary thing, but there's this weird tension in the air, something I've never felt before around him.

"Okay, get ready, we are going to the beach. There's this party and it's going to be amazing." Josh said while playing with Beau

"What? Guys, I just came, I need to ask my mom." I said

"They already did!" Mom said walking down the stairs, "You have permission."

I stared at my mom, and then at them. Back at my mom, and then back at them,

"You know how they are, go pack." Mom said taking Beau with her

I went upstairs to pack my weekend suitcase for the beach. Cute outfits, cute bikinis, sunscreen, make up, etc.

"Is everyone going?" I asked

"Just Bryce, Blake, you and I." Josh answered

"Skylar is going but she's staying in another beach house with her family. We are staying with mine." Blake said playing with Percy's ball

"Good. I'm ready."

Blake helped with my suitcase and we all said goodbye to my parents and brother. We got in the car. Josh was driving, I went shotgun, and we picked up Bryce at his house. We blasted music through the way, while catching up about what happened while I was away.

We got to the beach house, and we took our things inside. Blake's parents were already there cooking lunch,

"Maggie! You're back!" They said excitedly giving me a hug

"Finally." I sighed with a laugh

"How was it?" Blake's mom asked

"It was good, aunt. England is amazingly beautiful."

"I imagine." She smiled

She then greeted Josh and Bryce and soon, lunch was served. We all sat down near the pool, while Blake's parents went to the beach club to meet their friends.

Soon after, Aunt Celina, Blake's mom, took us to the room we're sharing. Yes, I'm staying with three boys. There were two bunk beds, so each had their own bed.

"I want to be on the bottom!" Bryce said jumping on one

"Oh, so you like bottom?" Josh laughed

"Try me, daddy." He answered seductively

"Good luck, Mag." Aunt Celina said

"I'm used to this." I chuckled as she left

"I'll take bottom too." Blake said throwing himself into the other bed

"Fuck you guys." Josh said climbing up to the bed on top of Bryce's bed

I shrugged realizing I had zero choice than taking the bed on top of Blake's. I put my things on top. We changed into our swimsuits and started drinking while having a good time. Skylar met us in the afternoon and we went out for a boat ride.

Night came, and we had dinner after getting ready for the beach party. Blake's dad took us. It was an "all you can drink" party, so who knows how this night will end.

The party went by. I spent most of the night with Josh, drinking and dancing with whoever we could. Skylar and Bryce spent the night together, but at the same time with us. We were basically rotating. Blake was who knows where, probably flirting, kissing or meeting girls. Typical of Blake.

"Skylar is way too drunk." Bryce told us while holding her

"We should call her mom." Josh suggested worried

"I'll call her sister." I said dialing her number

Gabriella, Skylar's older sister, came to pick her up and finally took her home. She was wasted.

"Where's Skylar?" Blake said finally showing up

"Wasted. If you had spent the party with us and not flirting, you would've known." Bryce said annoyed

"I was not-.." Blake said but Bryce cut him off

"Bro, Maggie just came back from England. We were supposed to have fun all together."

"Guys, I'm too drunk to care right now." I stated with a laugh

"Yeah, Skylar's okay now, let's go take some shots." Josh said funnily

We ran to the shot bar and Blake and I decided on running a competition on tequila shots. Josh started recording,

"This is nasty!" I yelled spitting the second shot

"I'll take them." Blake said finishing his four shots and also two of mine

"Hey, Bryce, why don't you kiss, Maggie?" Josh smirked

"I don't mind, she's my friend. Just a peck." He answered while taking a bite from a pizza

"And you too, Blake." Josh shrugged

"Feels like you're selling me." I told him

"Doesn't matter. Just a friendly peck." Blake winked

My brain was too filled with alcohol to say no. As soon as I knew, I gave Bryce a small peck,

and then there was Blake..

It was a small peck, but it feel weird. I never thought I'd kiss my best friend, not even as a joke.

The party went on, we got some food, and Josh and I even asked for a souvenir.

Later, Blake's dad picked us up from the party and drove us back to the beach house.
