ivy - milo manheim

2. beach

i woke up from my nap about 2 hours later. it was already 5 p.m. once i checked my phone. i jumped out of bed and got in the shower, in need of the warm water beads to hit my skin. i turned on the shower and undressed, getting in. i washed my hair and body before getting out and drying off.

milo!

i needed to do something other than apologize. maybe wyatt can cancel the movie tickets or something?

i went back to my room and changed into jean shorts and a baggy t-shirt. i knocked on wyatt's door.

"what?!" he yelled.

i didn't bother to ask if i can come in, i just swung open the door.

"can you cancel the movie tickets? i really need to make up to milo," i vented.

"im not even going to ask what you did. ill just go with julia it's fine," he said, unbothered.

i nodded and pet bentley before leaving his room and going back to mine once again. julia was wyatt's girlfriend. i think they started dating a few months ago and they are already pretty serious i guess. anywho i blowdried my hair and straightened it, then i put some mascara on with a swipe of lip gloss on before planning out how i was going to make it up to milo.

i think im going to ask him to hangout at the beach. we can do whatever from there but i haven't gone to the beach in a while and with milo it is always so much fun. i got out my phone and clicked on milo's contact, calling him. after a few rings he picked up.

"what?" i heard him ask.

"come over in an hour," i said into the phone. it was already almost 5.

"liv-"

"please milo. im really sorry."

i heard him sigh and it was silent for a moment, "okay."

i smiled to myself, "okay."

he hung up and i set my phone down, already waiting for his arrival. i decided to get a little picnic basket ready full of a few of foods he likes. i finished that in about 20 minutes and sat on my phone until he got here. i was so eager to make it up to him.

"you ready?" i asked milo as i swung open my front door.

"to go where? i literally just got here," he sighed.

"come on," i elbowed him in the side as we walked  to my car, "i want to make it up to you."

"i already told you i didn't care didn't i?"

"well i don't care that you don't care," i replied as we got in my car and i backed out of my driveway.

the car ride was mostly quiet on the way to the beach, a few little conversations here and there but mostly silent. once we got there i parked and we got out of the car. i opened the trunk and grabbed the picnic basket before running onto the hot sand. it filled the spaces between my toes and i swung my shoes off. i motioned for milo to come on as he was walking slow. he looked miserable. i really didn't know that me forgetting plans meant that much to him.

as i finished setting up the picnic basket, i stood up and saw milo crack a smile as he gazed at all the food scattered on the blanket.

"there he is," i smiled and stepped closer to him, us side by side.

i turned to see the sun already setting, and it was beautiful. milo slowly wrapped his arm around my shoulders. i turned to look up at him.

"im sorry," my lip quivering.

"i know," he pulled me in for a hug, "i know."

i wrapped my arms around him as his arms gripped my shoulders and waist. we stayed like that for at least 20 seconds before pulling away and watching the sunset again, snapping a few pictures and messing around on the beach.

after a while we sat down and ate all of the food. the sun was done setting and it was slowly getting dark. i slightly saw a few stars in the distance over the ocean. nature was just truly beautiful.

once we were done eating we decided to go for a quick night swim. i obviously forgot to bring a bathing suit, which means i also forgot to tell him to bring one so we kind of just took most of our clothes off. we stripped down into our undergarments and it reminded me about the first night we met again. that night was so much fun. i flicked my jean shorts off of my foot into the sand and ran towards the water, milo chasing after me.

i ran farther and farther into the eater until it was up to my waist, then i plunged myself in snd stayed underwater for a few seconds, allowing myself to calm down before popping up above the surface to see milo looking up at the sky. i swam over to him and smiled before jumping on top of him and holding him underwater. i let him come up after a few seconds.

"what the fuck?" he wiped his face with his hands.

i laughed.

"i could have drowned you little brat!"

"you were under for like a maximum of 3 seconds idiot," i said in between laughs.

"oh you're gonna get it now," milo said before lunging at me.

he got on top of me and put me in a headlock. i couldn't stop laughing until he put me underwater, then pulled me right back above the surface. he did that about 5 more times before letting me go.

i was so out of breathe and felt like i was about to fricking die, so i tackled him again and that went on for about another 10 minutes before we decided to get out. we took some more pictures before putting our clothes back on our wet bodies and collecting the picnic basket.

we carried everything back to the car and eventually drove home. that was one of the most fun nights i have ever had since i met milo. he always made me forget about everything. that's what i love about him.
