Chapter 3

I clutched the pillow shoving my face further in it, not willing to wake up from the bed just yet, the pounding on the front door continued leaving me no choice but to get up.

A girl looking to be around a year or two younger stood on the other side, she beamed at me her face in an ear splitting grin. "You must be Isabella, I'm Ivy. Zach's little sister" she spoke extending her hand, I smiled at her shaking her hand.

"It's nice to meet you"

"Oh honey, it's my pleasure. All my life its been me, my brother and his idiot friends, its about time I got a decent girl to hang out with" she spoke her southern charm coming through mimicking that of her mothers.

"I'm guessing some of the girls around here can be a little snobbish" I said not sure how to phrase it, she chuckled "That would be an understatement. Anyway I came to ask if you would like to come to my house and hangout" she spoke her eyes hopeful, I couldn't help the grin that lit up my face.

"Just let me get dressed and I'll meet you at your place" she nodded enthusiastically turning around and skipping down the street to her house, I squealed hurrying up to my room.

I can't believe I'm starting to make friends already, nerves lit up my stomach, what if she gets to know me and she doesn't like me. No, Isabella snap out of this.

I choose a pair of black shorts and an olive green tank top from my closet. I hurriedly put them on before grabbing my keys and phone and heading out the door towards her house.

Knocking on the door, I wait patiently for Ivy, instead I get greeted by Zach's bare chest "Bella, what are you doing here?" I avert my eyes from his well defined chest hoping he didn't catch me staring, by the smirk on his face I'm guessing he caught me.

"She's here for me" Ivy yelled coming into view out of breath.

"Hi Izzy" she greeted shoving Zach away.

"Come in, don't let the dork scare you off" Ivy spoke throwing daggers at her brother "And put on a shirt for god's sake we have company" he shrugged not bothered by her words "I don't think she minds" a deep blush made its way on my face at his comment.

"We're having a girls day, which means keep your friends away" she said ignoring his comment, her glare softened as she glanced at the couch where two guys were playing video games, also bare chested.

Someone has a crush.

"You don't have to worry about us princess we're heading to the beach" one of the guys spoke getting up from the couch and coming to Zach's side.

"Perfect, I'll have the whole house to myself" Ivy smiled in triumph crossing her arms across her chest.

"Actually sweetheart" Michelle began rounding the corner a dish towel and a cup in hand which she was drying "I'm planning a little surprise for your father, and I need all the hormonal teenagers out of the house. Besides you're young go out and have fun. Make some memories" she spoke shooing us away.

"Oh and its lovely to see you again Isabella" she spoke before rounding a corner again towards where I'm guessing is the kitchen.

"Guess we're going to the beach. Only if you're okay with that" she said quickly turning towards me I chuckled at her hesitation "Oh please that's all we did back home" she squealed excitedly turning to head back up the stairs.

"Meet you in front of my bike in 15 minutes" I called out one of the guys sniggered "Awh, you're going to the beach in your pretty little pink bicycle, does it have flowers as well?" blondie spoke sniggering along with his friend, Zach snorted, he looked at me before motioning to his friends.

I smirked at him before directing my words to his friends "Actually I have a black Yamaha YZF-R1M" his face turned bright red at my words as Zach and the brunette joked that he needs to eat his words.

"You own a bike?!" Ivy exclaimed from her way up the stairs "Yeah I've been riding since I was 16, back home we used to race the cars and bikes I always won" my bike has always been something I'm very proud of.

"Now that's something I need to see. I'll ride with you to the beach" blondie spoke, I really need to know their names instead of referring to them as the blond and brunette.

"I wasn't offering"

"I wasn't asking" he smirked heading up the stairs moving past a shocked Ivy.

"You're not giving him a ride baby girl" Zach muttered huskily in my ear, I jumped shocked at his sudden appearance by my side, he put his hands on my hips pulling me towards him, butterfliers erupted in my belly shocking my very core.

"How about we all drive up in my jeep?" the brunette suggested noticing the rising tension that surrounded us.

"I'll meet you next to the car Ivy" I muttered detaching myself from Zach, I headed towards my house moving straight towards my closet, I rummaged through my great selection of bikinis and one pieces before settling on a simple red two piece bikini before heading back outside.

"Izzy" Ivy exclaimed already waiting for me outside, she waved me over to a black Jeep that was sitting just outside of the Franco household.

"Hey" I greeted accepting her hug, the door to their house opened before slamming shut Zach emerged along with his friends "Where's the bike?" blondie spoke coming towards me. "How am I going to give you a ride when I don't even know your name?" I spoke tired of calling him blondie in my head.

"I'm Ezra" he offered extending his hand towards me, a chuckle escaped my lips but I took his hand nonetheless, he took my hand in his own delivering a kiss to my knuckles.

"Just get in the damn car Ezra" Zack growled out ripping Ezra from me and shoving him in the front seat of the car.

"I'm Jeremiah by the way" he spoke giving me a small wave before getting in the back seat. "What about my ride?" Ezra whined turning in his passenger seat to look at me, I shrugged "Good things come to those who wait, in your case great things" I laughed throwing him a wink.

I settled in the back seat noticing Zach's smouldering look, this is going to be an interesting beach trip.

A few minutes later, we arrived at a small beach. I couldn't help but smile as I hurried out of the car followed by everyone else. "It's beautiful," I exclaimed, marveling at the crystal blue water glistening under the sun.

"It is, isn't it?" Zach replied, turning to face me. I rolled my eyes playfully, but a small smile tugged at my lips, unable to suppress it.

"Izzy come on the water is amazing" Ivy yelled already chest deep into the crystal blue waters, I set down my bag taking off my shirt.

A whistle sounded from behind me "Didn't peg you for the bad girl type Bella" Zach stated taking a step closer as he looked down at me more precisely at my back.

"Isabella it's beautiful" Ezra said gesturing towards my back tattoo before coming here I begged my dad to get a tattoo, to get rid of all the bad memories I had that surrounded my past, after a lot of bribing and a lot of conversations about being sure about what I want to get done and that it's permanent he finally let me get a tattoo on my back.

After multiple sessions at the tattoo studio I now have a dragon tattoo on my back with a sword in the middle and multiple flowers surrounding it.

Zach traced his fingers along my tattoo causing goosebumps to appear on my skin I looked back at him a small gasp leaving my lips at our close proximity.

His fingers left my back instead circling around my waist instead "You have the most beautiful eyes Isabella" he muttered lowly his lips inches away from my own, my heart beat rapidly against my chest.

A cough sounded from behind us making us jump apart, I clutched my chest looking at Ezra, I forgot he was even there, his hands were clutched into fists making the veins in his arms pop.

He moved forward towering over me, Zach's grip on my waist tightened, Ezra leaned down to my height "It really is sexy Bella" he whispered in my ear looking down at my tattoo before heading towards Jeremiah and Ivy.
