"Zayla,hurry up!" 15 year old Shayla Wells yelled to her twin sister. It was a beautiful day in Virginia, and they were trying to get out of the house before their foster parents woke up."Hold ya' horses sis', I'm trying to get Jasmine out here! Do you know how hard it is to get this girl dressed with her takin' forever just picking out an bikini?!"Zayla whisper-shouted.
"You know that she can meet us there right?"Shayla groaned.
"Yup,but she want to see you and Xzantheus together!"
"What! You invited him! When?" Shayla's voice raised a little.
"Well..."Zayla mumbled under her breath, as she puled their little sister down the hall to the front door."You know what Shayla, you might want to wait until we are down the block so you can yell at me..."
"Hmm" was all Zayla got in response.
They opened the door, dressed in bathing suits and running to keep up with Jasmine. They reachec the end of the block and stopped.
"Well Zay, want did you want to say about Xzantheus?"
"Well...", Zayla added the most sweetness to her voice as she could and continued slowly,"Well, you like him don't you!"
Shayla screeched at the top of her lungs.
"NO I DO NOT,YOU PIGHEAD!IF YOU EVER SAY THAT AGAIN, I WILL STAPLE THOSE PERFECT, FULL, CHERRY GLOSSED LIPS OF YOURS TOGETHER FOR A MONTH, AND THEN MAKE YOU KISS MICHEL! YA' HEAR!"
Zayla cringed and nodded.
Michel was the uglyest boy in the school,and had had a huge crush on the twins since second grade, and had tried to kiss them.
A muffled giggling sounded from behind Zayla. Jasmine peeked out from behind Zayla's leg. And pointed to someone standing on the sand about 2 yard away from them. Having not realized that they had reached the beach, Shayla had been shouting as they walked. Shayla decided not to look and keep walking. But Zayla stopped, gasped and ran to catch up to her sister.
~♡~♥~
"Hey, is that Xzantheus?" Jasmine asked tugging on Zay's sleeve.
"Yup! And Shay's gonna havpe to talk to him.
"Wow.He is smokin' hot. I mean, you see the steam coming of his skin!" Jasmine is 14 and and loved to talk about boys,and like Zayla, had a boyfriend.
Xzantheus was chuckling with a friend, his girlfriend. Shayla took a sharp breath and turned away, wondering why the hell on earth her sister hadn't told her.
It took all of her control not to stop and and start yelling again.
She kept on walking until she felt a strong hand on her shoulder,slowly turning her around slowly.
She wanted to keep on walking and ignore it, but the person was strong. She pulled to get away.
"Let go of me"she growled.
"Are you sure you want me to,because I will if you are sure?" His voice was smooth and strong. His scent wrapped around her, sweet and spicy with a hint of rain. Her heart beat wildly, and her butterflies took flight in her stomach. The voice seemed familiar, comforting even. Shayla wanted to turn around,oh her heart was almost whispering to her"Turn around,go on you know you want to. Go on you'll regret it." Then Zayla's voice "OMG Shay, you should have, you should have turned around, ARRRRRRRRGGH, ugh,when will you learn! " Shayla stopped pulling and stopped walking. She took a deep breath. In out in and out she thought. She started walking again.Then he spoke again "Whats wrong, is it me? Did i do something wrong?" It was soft, almost so soft that she almost didn't hear him ."Will you turn around,please? " Shayla cracked and slowly turned around. She gasped.
