When He Calls (Moons of Nibiru - Book #1)

chpt - 2: day of the vanished

"WE SHOULD ALL PLAN A TRIP for at least a week." Kendrick Fur suggested, pushing his glasses up as he stared at the clear blue sky.

It was a nice and cool day. They all — Ryan, Caitlin, Amy, Kendrick, Brendon and Olivia Christopher — sat on blankets by the Loch on one of the cliffs that rose above the waters.

"Where would we go?" Olivia asked, untying her ponytail. She waved her barn-red hair down her back and took off her top to reveal her smooth and pale skin, her breasts covered by a blue-and-green bikini bra. Brendon smiled and whistled through his teeth with delight.

"Contain yourself." Amy said as she pulled her legs into her chest in the shade from a tree behind them when the sun became too attached to her feet.

"Yah, some of us are feminists who dislike objectifying women's bodies." Caitlin added, sitting cross legged on one of the blankets, fiddling with the pair of binoculars.

"As if you don't bite your bottom-lip when a hot piece of man ass walks past you." Brendon counterattacked.

"We could go and see if Stuart House is available." Ryan said, ignoring the two of them.

"Sure, why not? I've always been suicidal" Kendrick said. "We could even see if the child-sex-torture-dungeon is really in the basement."

Caitlin laughed at that. The kids in Marbel made up the strangest theories surrounding Stuart House, but this one took the cake.

"So we're just staying here in Marbel?" Brendon asked.

"Why not?" Olivia asked as she stepped out into the sun and basked her skin in its warmth. "I love it here in Marbel. This town's like the next Miami, except we don't have a beach or sexy surfers."

Amy rolled her eyes.

Olivia was now completely in her bikini, showing a lot of skin, and Amy was the only one with a problem. Of course, she didn't say it out loud. Instead, she looked away and at Ryan to make sure he wasn't staring.

He wasn't, thankfully.

The sun made Olivia's green eyes and lightly freckled cheeks glow. She spun around and faced the Loch, ready to dive down into the water when she saw someone down on one of the small islands.

"Guys, we have ourselves a guest." she said, hands on her hips as she gestured to the islands with her chin.

The others immediately jumped up from the ground to see who it was.

The person on the island seemed to be relaxed while reading a book, minding their own business; not like the people on the cliff.

Brendon took the binoculars from Caitlin and looked down at the person. He zoomed in, and when he could make out who it was he couldn't help but smile. "It's the pastor's son." he said, handing the binoculars back to Caitlin.

"Noah?" Caitlin asked as she copied Brendon and used the binoculars to look down at the boy.

"Isn't he, like, gay?" Amy asked, absentmindedly raising her hand to her mouth to bite at the fingernail on her thumb.

Ryan shrugged and turned when he noticed Brendon was taking off his shirt, revealing his toned body that made the knees of every girl at their school quiver.

"What in God's name are you gonna do?" Kendrick asked him, knowing for a fact Brendon was going to cause trouble just by looking at the mischievous grin on his face.

"I'm gonna give our gay buddy something to stare at, other than that book." Brendon said, keeping on his shorts. He tossed his shirt into Kendrick's face, to which Olivia groaned and Ryan chuckled, and then Brendon ran, jumped off of the edge of the cliff and it didn't take him long to splash into the water down below.
