Summer Love

Chapter 8: How to Pass an Awkward Moment

Sarah: The next day I met Louis in the Hideout. The moment I saw him I felt myself blush. I hoped he wouldn't notice. Which of course meant he did and had to tease me about it. "Aww," Louis pretended to groan for sake of annoying me, the way he always did, "Are we thinking about last night."

"Shut up," I said, laughing and softly punching him in the cheast.

"Its okay. I mean the fact that you have now kissed me and have completed everything that makes your summer perfect-" Louis said, still teasing.

I cut him off, "OH! MY! GOSH! SHUT UP!" I was nearly screaming.

"Well thats not very nice," Louis said, sticking his lip out like a child pouting for candy.

"Okay. Oh my gosh. Shut up please," I said. Louis smirked.

"Are you sure?" he asked, leaning closer. I felt his fingers at my waist. Then he started to tickle me. I screamed.

"STOP!" I screamed, kicking at the air.

"No," Louis said, laughing.

"PLEASE!" I screamed.

"Nuh uh," Louis said, still tickling me.

"I'M BEGGING YOU!" I screamed, attempting to punch him off me.

"Nice try," Louis said. I screamed. I heard the door open.

"Um," a voice I didn't recognize said. Louis stopped tickling me and looked up.

"Oh hey Darin," Louis said.

"Could you guys tone it down just a bit. A few people are kind of asking me what the screaming is for," the lifeguard said, who supposedly was named Darin.

"Yeah. Sorry. No problem," Louis said, saluting. Darin nodded and left, closing the door behind him.

"You heard him, Sarah. We have to tone it down," Louis said. I glared at him. He leaned toward me again and pressed his lips to mine. I kissed him back. I felt everything that happened between us, his hands in my hair, my fingers at his neck, the slight breeze that went through the panels that made up the Hideout. The sound of the waves grew louder, along with the sound of kids screeching and playing in the wake. Louis's lips pulled away from mine, "So how much time did we get yesturday?" he asked.

"Um," I realized I hadn't even thought to calculate the time yesturday, "Proabably about two hours."

"Wow," Louis said, "I made an impact."

"Shut up," I mutttered, feeling like a broken record.

"So how do you suggest we procede to break that record?" Louis asked.

"Kiss me again and maybe I'll figure it out," I said. Once again he pressed his lips to mine and I felt the warm sensation course through my body. When Louis pulled away he looked at me expectantly.

"Any ideas?" Louis asked. My mind was blank.

"Nope," I answered. Louis sat quietly for a moment, thinking. Then he snapped his fingers.

"I got it," he gasped.

"What?" I asked, waiting for him to tell me.

"I'll see you at your house at nine tomorrow. Be ready," he said. I nodded and took my que to leave the Hideout, all the while thinking of Louis's mystery plan.
