I've always been in love with Serenity.

At first, it was her looks, and then it became everything else. But for the past year, she's all I've thought about. When I would try to lose myself in another person, it was Serenity I was thinking about, it was her laugh and smile. The way her entire face lit up when she was excited. There was something about her, well it was everything about her that made my heart soar, and as we walked down the beach hand in hand, our shoes dangling to my right, I knew she was it. She was the girl I was going to marry, I just had to convince her of it myself.

"And then," Serenity had been explaining the story of her boss to me, the man seemed to hit on Serenity more than I'd like to hear about, "He scheduled me a closing and opening right after each other! Can you believe it? Like at least let me come in mid-morning! Not four am!"

"How dare he!" I could hear the teasing in my voice and Serenity blinked up at me with those beautiful gray eyes, her smile covering her face, "Baby, you know I have enough in savings to cover the summer for both of us," I tugged her closer, wrapping my arm around her waist so she was forced to be in my side, "If you don't want to work at the coffee shop you don't have to, I'll take care of you."

"What, you want me to be your sugar baby Stevie?" She teased, moving so she was standing in front of me, my hand sliding into the back pocket of her jeans, "What would all your girlfriends say? Bringing them back to see me in your bed, waiting for you? Would be bad for hookups."

She was joking, but I could see the hurt in her eyes, and the picture she painted sounded fucking beautiful. "That depends beautiful," her eyes never left mine, we had crossed the line this morning, we were no longer just friends, and we both knew it, yet neither of us was brave enough to talk about the new shift, I felt her against my body, came so hard on my stomach I saw spots, and I hadn't even had sex with her. "Does that deal have you laying in bed naked, waiting for me? Because if that's the deal then sign me the fuck up."

Serenity grinned, squealing when I pinched her ass through her jeans, "C'mon baby, quit your job," I heard her sigh when I leaned into her neck, nipping at the skin, "Let me take care of you and all your needs, Dad left me enough money to do that, just for this summer," her fingers dug into my shoulders and I could hear her whimper, my eyes glancing down to see her thighs squeezing together, "Is my girl needy? Does she like the idea of having me take care of her? Imagine, we could do this every day, we could wake up like we did this morning, where I take care of your needs, every single one of them."

"Steve."

It was a warning, a plea. And when I pulled my head back to look at her I could see her pupils had blown wide. She was needy, she was no longer hiding her attraction. And I fucking loved it, she was comfortable enough with me to express her needs, something I knew she lacked in previous relationships. And she had told me about her sex life, it was lackluster, and she deserved the thrill. "Up the beach, there's the public bathroom," I leaned down again, kissing her exposed collarbone, "We'll use the family stall, let's go."

"Just this once," Serenity whispered, taking my hand as I pulled her along with me, "I don't want to ruin us."

"Pretty girl," I saw the blue building, feeling her relief hit her like a ton of bricks, she walked with more bounce, trying to keep up with my long strides, "I'm not going to fuck you, but I am going to take care of you." I wanted to bite my tongue, but I couldn't, because I knew she was right, today was the one day we could cross this line, we loved each other as friends, and we had to remember that. Even though I knew she was always going to be the girl for me, I had to remain her best friend and show her how much I fucking loved her, how much I wanted her.
