Chapter Sixteen

**above is Rose's outfit**

I wiggled my toes in the sand, a huge smile on my face. Grace laughed when Ashton tackled Michael into the water, both of them going under. It was our 'friends day' as Marlee and Grace called it.

It was kind of weird having all of us together outside of school, normally it was just at school. I wasn't used to seeing the other three boys outside of school.

"Luke's staring at you again." Marlee whispered. I looked over in the direction Luke was in and sure enough he was staring at me. I laughed, waving at him with my lips in a straight line.

"He's been doing that all day." Grace teased, poking my shoulder. I slapped her hand but laughed at the same time.

Our stare broke when Calum snuck up behind Luke and dunked him underwater. All three of us laughed and laid back onto the beach chairs.

"How's Michael and you, Mar?" Grace asked, putting sunglasses over her eyes, me doing the same. I closed my eyes and let out a breath.

"Hey babe." I looked over seeing Michael leaning over Marlee, water dripping onto her face. I laughed a little when she cringed but she still sat up and kissed his lips.

"Wanna go for a swim?" He asked.

"No, well not right now. I'm tanning." Michael looked behind him and turned back to Marlee with a smirk.

"I want you to swim though. The girls too." Grace and I looked at each other with our eyes brows raised. Marlee squealed loudly when Michael tossed her over his shoulder and started to run into the water where surprisingly the other boys weren't.

I screamed when someone tossed me over their shoulder, Grace's screaming heard in the distance. I pounded my fists on the stranger's back and kicked my legs. The stranger just laughed and started to jog towards the ocean.

"Put me down!" I yelled, still pounding on his back.

"Relax Rosie, it's just me!" Luke chuckled. I was about to snap at him but he threw me into the water before I had the chance. I popped back up and punched him in the arm, splashing him with water in the process. He laughed and squished me into a hug.

"What the hell?!"

"What? The boys and I planned it." I punched his arm again but still leaned onto his chest.

"Give me a kiss joker." When he leaned in to give me a kiss I pushed him into the water, fist pumping when he went underwater. My victory didn't last long, Luke grabbed my foot and pulled me under, again.

Somehow underwater he managed to pick me up. I wrapped my arms around his neck to keep from falling while he spun around.

"You're so fucking cheesy, Lucas." He chuckled and pecked my lips with a smile.

"Oh and since you think you're so strong you have to carry me back to the beach." Luke groaned and I laughed, leaning my head on his chest. He picked me up bridal style and brought me back to the beach where everyone was laughing at Michael who was a deep shade of red.

"There's the love birds!" Calum yelled over everyone's laughter, pointing his beer at us. Luke sat me down on on of the empty chairs and got two beers out of the cooler. He gave me one then say down next to me, wrapping his arm around my waist.

I smiled, opening the beer and leaning my head on his shoulder, again. Grace gave me a huge smile, nudging Marlee's shoulder who smirked and wiggled her eyebrows.

"It's getting late, I think Mike and I will go home." Marlee spoke up, standing up with Michael by her side.

"Yeah, yeah. We all know that's your code for you're going home to have sex." Luke joked. Everyone laughed and Marlee turned a dark red.

"Let's just go." She muttered, dragging Michael by his hand. I smacked his chest and he just let out a laugh. I felt Luke tense up, my eyes traveled to where his were, Ashton and Grace.

Grace was laughing at something, basically the two are in the position Luke and I were in. Her head was laying on his shoulder, his arm draped over her shoulders.

I grabbed Luke's hand, giving it a squeeze. I pecked his cheek which made him tear his eyes away from his little sister getting cozy with one of his friends.

"You want to go back to my house, watch a movie?" I asked, trying to keep his mind off that. He turned back around and stared at Grace and Ashton.

"Yeah."

****

I threw a piece of popcorn at the screen, frowning at the feels this show gave me. I was re-watching my favorite tv show, One Tree Hill, which by the way was very frustrating.

"Screw you Haley! Nathan doesn't need you anyway, have fun with that son of a bitch!" Luke laughed, grabbing the popcorn bowl out of my hands.

"Don't they get back together?" Luke asked, shoving a handful of popcorn into his mouth.

"Well, yeah. But that's not the point!" We both laughed, me snuggling into his side.

"Why do you even like this show?" I gasped.

"Obviously for James Lafferty, I mean he's really hot."

"Hotter than your boyfriend?"

"Maybe..."

He paused the tv, putting me onto his lap. He put both hands on both sides of my face, bringing his lips onto mine. I snaked my arms around his neck, moving my lips against his. He pulled away with a smirk.

"Can James Lafferty make you feel like that?" I laughed, burying my face into his chest.

"I've never even met the guy but, probably not." He smiled, pecking my lips.

So hey! As you can see I changed the cover back to the older one I used to have. I just liked it a little bit better than the one that was recently on there but if you like the other one, comment.

I sounded like such a bitch right there, sorry.

Anyway, did you guys like the last chapter? I feel like you guys didn't because not really anyone responded to it.

Wow, once again sounding like a bitch.

Sorry for all that, it's like two in the morning and if you can't tell yet, I update when it's like two, three, maybe even four in the morning. Sometime when I'm trying to sleep I think of ideas so I start to type them and BOOM! Next chapter.

Anyways. Vote and comment as much as you can. It means the world to me.
