Lost Summer (Book 1)

Part 5

Jared POV

We get back to the hotel but I can't focus on anything all I can think about is that girl. There is something about her that fascinates me but I don't know what. I'm pulled out of my thoughts when Jensen hits me on the head. 

"You're supposed to be helping me so don't just stand there," he says and I roll my eyes. 

"I know I'm supposed to be helping you but I can't get her out of my head," I say and he sighs looking out the window towards the beach. 

"I know what you mean, there's just something about her that makes me want to get close to her, to protect her and I don't know what it is. She seems so mysterious you know" he says and I nod. 

"Yeah I know and the more I think about it the more I want to solve this mystery. We really need to get to know her. We have to meet her somehow and fast otherwise I'm going to lose my mind," I say and he nods in agreement. 

"Yeah but right now we have work to do so let's get to it. Once we're done we can day dream about the mysterious beauty," he says and I sigh getting back to work. 

Once we're done we go to our rooms to get ready for dinner then we go down to the restaurant. After about half an hour we see her and her family walking to the same table they had this morning. They order their food and then she looks around just like this morning I wonder what that's about.

I look at Jensen as he looks at me and we shrug when we finish with dinner we go back to our rooms and then we say good night. As I'm laying in bed I can't stop thinking about her.

About how she looked on the beach with the wind-blowing thru her beautiful Y/H/L Y/H/C hair as she smiles at her family and her beautiful Y/E/C eyes sparkling with happiness. I have never seen such beautiful eyes before in my life and her skin as white as snow.

 I wonder what it would be like to run my fingers thru that beautiful Y/H/C hair and over that soft white skin, or what it would be like kissing those rosy red lips. I wonder if they are as soft as they look.

I fall asleep with the mysterious beauty on my mind when I wake up I smile at the amazing dream I had. I get up and take a shower once I'm done I get dressed and head down stairs for breakfast. I see Jensen already at our table so I join him. 

"Morning, how long have you been up?" I ask and he shrugs sipping his coffee. 

"Not long, so what are we going to do today?" he asks as I take a seat next to him. 

"I don't know. I was thinking maybe we could just go to the beach and relax since we don't have anything else to do," I say but he seems distracted. 

"Hey, what's going on with you today?" I ask and he shrugs. 

"I don't know I just can't stop thinking about her it's like she's a drug and I'm addicted. Anyway the beach yeah that sounds like a good idea I think we need to relax and unwind" he says and I frown. 

She's really getting to him but I know the feeling, I might as well be a drug addict. I look at the menu when Jensen taps my arm so I look at him. 

"Yeah," I say and he looks behind me. 

"She's looking this way" he says so I turn around slowly catching her eye. 

I smile at her and she smiles back. I almost feel like jumping up and down. 

"She smiled at us did you see that?" Jensen asks and I nod. 

"Yeah I saw and it's the most beautiful smile I have ever seen" I say and he agrees.

A few hours later Jensen and I are relaxing on the beach when he suddenly whacks me on my arm. 

"What was that for?" I ask and he points to my left. 

I look where he is pointing and my eyes fall on the mysterious beauty. I smile at her and she smiles back shyly, I feel like a teenager all over again. Having her smile at me makes me giddy every time, she is just so beautiful, someone as beautiful as her would never look at someone like me.

I watch her for a while as she just lays there, when her mom touches her arm softly she sits up looking at her mom. They say something to each other and then she gets up grabbing a surfboard. I look at Jensen to see him reading something on his phone so I whack him on the arm. 

"What the hell did you do that for?" he asks looking at me annoyed and I smile. 

"Look over there you idiot," I say pointing to his right and he looks to the water. 

When he sees her he sits up completely just like me we watch her walk to the water and make her way to her brother and his friends.

They seem to be talking and then see the wave coming closer it seems huge, the others fall back but she doesn't seem scared. She looks at them over her shoulder and I shudder. 

"She can't be doing what I think she's doing can she?" Jensen asks and I shrug. 

"I think she is," I say as we watch her. 

She catches my eye and winks before saying something to the others, then she catches the wave-like it's the easiest thing in the world.

We watch in astonishment as she does different moves and tricks. Just before the wave breaks, she jumps up flipping in the sky three times and then she lands riding out the rest of the wave before joining her friends. 

We watch as she takes a breather and then she joins them on smaller waves. After a while she comes back to shore and walks over to her parents, she looks our way and we smile at her giving her a thumbs up she smiles back at us shyly. 

Then she sits down with her back to us, her mom gives her something but I can't see what.

"Jensen, did you see what her mom gave her?" I ask and he frowns. 

"No I didn't, I wonder what it is," he says and I frown. After another hour or so we decide to head back to the hotel and get ready for dinner.

As we get into the elevator I see Jensen holding the door open. As I look at him weirdly I hear laughter so I look up and see her and her family walking towards the elevator, now I know why he's holding the door. 

Once they are in he steps back and the door closes, we are standing behind her brothers but she is so close to me I could take her hand if I want to but I don't. Instead, I decide to start a conversation with Jensen. 

So I turn to him only to see him staring at her. I tap his shoulder and he looks at me. 

"What?" he asks and I smile. 

"So how late should we be at the restaurant tomorrow morning for the meet and greet with the fans?" I ask and luckily he realizes what I'm doing so he plays along.

"I think we're supposed to be there by 08:30 you know so it can start early. Since we're going to be interacting with the fans, taking photos, giving autographs you know the whole shebang. 

It's going to be a whole day thing so yeah it's starting early, why are you asking?" he asks and I shrug smiling. 

"I was just wondering since I don't normally get up until at least 07:30," I say and he laughs.

"Yeah, we wouldn't want you to lose your beauty sleep now do we," he says and I whack him on the arm. 

"No, because then I'm grumpy and you don't want that," I say playing along with his idea and he smiles. 

"No, definitely not," he says as we look over at her seeing her smile as she looks at him and winks he quickly looks away. 

I smirk moving closer to her as Jensen looks back at me to see what I'm up to and I slip a note into her back pocket without her noticing.

Just then the elevator door opens and they get out on the same floor as us. We walk down the corridor stopping in front of our door we watch them walk over to room 314. 

How didn't we know they are so close to us. I can't believe they are in room 314 and we are in 311, we are so close to her yet so far.
