-Chapter Nineteen-

-Nobody's POV-

The next morning when everyone had woken up, they decided to go to the beach. Thomas put on a pair of white swim trunks, a grey swim shirt, and white sandals. Sonya wore a black two-piece swimsuit with a black see through cloth tucked into the bottoms to make it look like a skirt. and black flip flops. Minho was wearing a pair of white swim trunks and a blue swim shirt with white sandals. Harriet wore a red one-piece swimsuit with a gold ring that held cloth from the swimsuit and a pair of red sandals. Newt wore a white tank top and a pair of black swim trunks with white flip flops and his sunglasses. The group grabbed their towels and went onto the back patio to go to the beach. Newt noticed a beach umbrella, so he grabbed the umbrella and carried it to the beach. Once they were on the sand, Newt set up the umbrella and everyone set their towels down onto the sand. Sonya and Harriet ran to the water while Thomas went back to the beach house to grab snacks. Newt sat on his towel and watched the waves crash onto the rocks. The smell of the salt from the water was overwhelming him but in a good way. Newt felt himself relax, that was until Minho sat next to him. "Don't you want to swim?" He asked. "Not really, I prefer to relax on the sand." Newt replied. Minho nodded and got up to go swim. Newt watched them all play around in the water, then Thomas walked over and put the snacks down and went back to grab a cooler for the drinks. Newt laid back and let himself drift off to sleep. Thomas came back with the cooler full of drinks and placed them next to the snacks before running into the water to join his friends. "Is Newt joining?" Harriet asked. "He's not really a swimmer. He prefers to relax." Sonya explained, "Yeah, he said that he prefers to relax on the sand." Minho added. "We can let him relax while we have a water fight!" Thomas exclaimed as he splashed Minho. Minho acted offended, "How dare you, Thomas! May the battle commence!" Minho exclaimed. Soon after, all four of them were splashing around. Suddenly Minho splashed them so hard it went extremely far up shore. "Oh no..." Minho said as he backed deeper into the water. "What is it?" Sonya asked, Sonya, Thomas, and Harriet were facing away from the shore and towards the water. That was when they all heard the sound of somebody walking into the water, they turned around and Newt was walking towards them, completely drenched in water. "Minho Aaron Parks!!!" Newt screamed as he continued past his three other friends and towards his boyfriend. Minho noticed this and started to swim the other direction. "Newt, baby, love of my life, I swear I didn't mean to!" He exclaimed as he swam. Newt scoffed, "Get back here or so help me I will end you!" He replied going deeper into the water and closer to Minho. "But you hate swimming!" Minho screamed, "I hate getting wet but thanks to you I'm soaked!" Newt replied. Minho swam deeper into the water while Newt followed, eventually Newt caught up to Minho and dragged him out of the water. "I'm sorry!!" Minho cried out. Newt scoffed and pulled him onto the shore. Newt sat down on his towel and started to eat some of the fruit salad that they had brought. "Newt, my love, am I in trouble? I swear I didn't mean to splash you with water. I meant to get Thomas, Sonya, and Harriet. So, technically it's their fault for moving out of the way." Minho explained. "Minho, it isn't their fault nor your fault. Well, actually it is kind of your fault and kind of their fault. I'll just say it's both of your faults." Newt replied still eating the fruit. Minho just sat down behind Newt on the towel. Minho and Newt sat there taking in the warmth of the sun and the refreshing taste of the fruit. The sour but juicy pineapple, the sweet and sour blueberries, the freshly cut strawberries, and so much more. The wind blew the smell of the salty ocean around the atmosphere making the sensation of the beach that much better. The seagulls squawking every now and then reminding them of their location. The beach was always Newts favorite place to relax, mostly because of the warmth. Minho wasn't really a fan of the beach until he met Newt, he met him and suddenly he never wanted to leave the beach. Minho loved the way the sun and water reflected in Newts eyes, he loved how Newts hair was a similar color to the sand, and he loved how happy Newt would get every time he heard that they were going to the beach. After around an hour, Thomas got out of the water to get a can of diet dr. pepper. A few minutes later and Sonya came out, followed by Harriet, and offered to go inside the beach house to eat lunch. "I saw a taco place a few miles back on our way here, we can go there." Harriet suggested. "No thanks, I saw a Domino's Pizza place! I love Domino's!" Newt replied. Harriet nodded, "Domino's it is." She spoke. The group walked up to the beach house and wiped the sand off of their feet. They all went to their respective rooms to get changed before hanging up their swimsuits to dry and getting into the car. This time, Minho was in the driver's seat with Newt in the passenger's seat. Thomas was sitting behind Newt and Sonya sat in between Thomas and Harriet, who was sitting behind Minho.
