Joakim ♡ Just some friends at the beach

"Chris, put me down" I said laughing, as he was walking into the sea water with me over his shoulder.

"And why would I do that?" He asked teasingly, lauging along with me.

Looking up, I saw Tommy irritating Pär by throwing sand at him. Hannes and Joakim were sitting on folding chairs, both with a beer in their hands. But instead of looking at Hannes who was talking to him or at Tommy throwing sand around, Joakim was looking straight at me.

Suddenly, I felt a wet and cool sensation all around me. I shrieked and opened my eyes that I had closed as soon as I felt the sea water touching my skin.

Getting sea water in your eyes is absolutely not nice.

Chris was laughing his ass off as I splashed water in his face. He only splashed it back at me and went furter back into the sea were the water was so deep you couldn't touch the ground anymore.

When I was considering if I should go after him or not, I heard loud laughing and water splashing behind me.

Turning around, I saw Hannes, Joakim, Tommy and Pär running towards me.

Tommy, Pär and Hannes ran past me, but Jocke stopped next to me.

"Are you coming with us into the deep? I promise I won’t let you drown." He said jokingly.

Something was off about the way he said it though. He sounded a little mad or maybe hurt. His face also didn't have the same happy expression it usually had.

I had noticed it a few times before though, sometimes he would just exchange his real smile into a fake one at the most random moments.

His beautifull genuine smile could never be mistaken for this fake one. For some it might be hard to see the diffrence at first, but I surely did notice immediately.

"I'll have to trust you on that one." I said lauging softly.

He smiled again and started swimming to the others, before I stopped him.

"Jocke?"

He turned around and looked at me questionally.

"Are you okay?" I asked concerned.

"Yeah, of course..." He answered a bit too quickly, not sounding convincing at all. Turning around again, he quickly swam towards the others, leaving me behind.

I shook my head and swam after him. We were here to have fun, but that didn't mean that I shouldn’t worry about my friend.

When I reached the others, Chris immediately picked me up in bridical style and tried to throw my back into the water, but I had already excpected him to do so, so I had wrapped my arms around his neck very tightly.

"Okay, I promise I won't throw you if you let me go." He said smirking.

I slowly let go of him, but as excpected, he threw me the second I wasn't holding onto him anymore.

When I landed, my head also went under water. That was the exact reason I didn't want him to throw me. Salt water in my eyes...

I kicked my feet to get myself above water again, but Joakim had grabbed my arm and pulled my up.

Somehow I ended up against his chest and our faces really close to each other.

We both quickly pulled away and looked everywhere but at each other.

But I kept thinking about that moment for the rest of that day. It only lasted for about five seconds, but it had felt so diffrent from any moment we had shared together. There was this tension between us, the kind of tension that is there right before a first kiss. It had braught a dark blush on my cheeks and made my ears burn up and still did just the same when I thought about it afterwards.

Later that day, when the sun was close to going down behind the pink painted water, we were all laying in the cool sand, watching the beautiful art of nature that was playing right in front of us.

Chris was lying on my left side and Joakim on my right. I still hadn't figured out what was wrong with Jocke, but he seemed just fine that moment, so I decided to let it slip for that day.

Just as the sun was shining its last sunrays on the water, Joakim stood up and nodded his head for me to come with him.

A bit confused, I stood up and followed him to a spot a bit behind where the others were laying.

"I'm sorry to disturb this beautiful moment, but I just have to do something. I need to at least try." He said softly, clearly having difficulties with keeping eye contact with me.

Not really getting what he was hinting at, I raised my eyebrows questionally.

Suddenly, he stepped closer to me, so our chests where basically pressed against each other.

"Jocke?" I asked soflty, almost inaudible.

Instead of answering with words, he did something that could change a lot for the both of us.

He carefully grabbed my chin and leaned in. I could feel his warm breath on my face. That same tension as before was there again, only stronger this time.

Of course I had thought about this before, about Joakim and I being together, but I had never really concidered that it could actually happen.

I surely did like him though, I had just never expected him to feel the same way, so I had always tried to ignore my feelings for him.

I looked into his eyes, right now nothing of the sadness he had shown before was to be seen.

His eyes fluttered closed and so did mine. As soon as our lips touched I felt something that I had never felt before. Butterflies exploded in my stomach, my heart thumped hard against my ribcage and I felt a little lightheaded.

All I could think about was him. At that moment, I had nothing to worry about, it was just him and me.

He slowly stared moving his lips against mine, moved his hand from my chin to the back of my head and stroked my back softly with his other hand.

I put both of my hands on his chest and moved one up until I was cupping his jaw. I felt the light prickle of his facial hair against my fingers.

I softly kissed him back, our lips moving together softly.

I loved the way how his lips felt on mine and how his hands touched my body. It all felt so right, so pure.

Unfortunately, our moment ended way too quickly. Joakim pulled a little back, looked into my eyes and then took a step back, away from me.

"I-I'm so sorry. I shouldn’t have just kissed you. That was very unrespectfull of me." He said, guilt written all over his face.

"Jocke, please don't be sorry. I really liked it." I spoke softly, hoping he didn't really regret it.

"I... You did?" He asked as a smile grew onto his face.

"Yes, of course I did." I confirmed as I took a step closer to him.

We both started leaning in, but just before our lips met again, we heard the guys whistling and cheering. We quickly stepped away from each other, both blushing bright red.

"Took you guys long enough." Tommy said, laughing at our akwardness.

We all walked back to the place we had been laying before and started packing our stuff.

Suddenly, I thought back about how weird Jocke had acted.

"Hey, Jocke. Why did you seem upset today, when we were swimming?" I asked, hoping I wouldn't ruin his good mood.

He blushed and looked ashamed at his sand covered feet.

"I was just jealous okay. I have always been jealous of what you and Chris have. You have always been so close that I thought you liked him." He answered honestly, still not looking at me.

"Chris and I are just best friends. You have nothing to worry about." I said, stepping closer to him and stroking his jaw.

"I like you, not him." I confessed, blushing slightly.

A bright smile that could light up my world appeared on his face.

"Good, because I like you too." He said just before he pressed our lips together.
