THIRD POINT OF VIEW

the next day rosalie woke up to the smell of pancakes and bacon in the air. she grabbed a robe from her grandma's closet and puts it on. as she walks down the stairs, she sees jimena and leah in the kitchen.

"goodmorning" rosalie says.

"goodmorning" they say in sync.

"should of woke me up. i could of helped with the food" rosalie gazed.

"nah, no worries. we had everything in control, we wanted you to rest" jimena smiled.

"i did need a rest. i felt like a heavy weight was lifted from my shoulder."

"so you forgave him? you guys didn't leave the bedroom yesterday after the fight y'all had outside" jimena questions.

"yeah something like that" rosalie shrugged.

"what do you mean "like that?" leah quoted.

"he told me so many things that made me think about us" rosalie began. "so i forgave him, but we're friends" she cleared.

"friends? huhh" leah smirked.

"yes friends" rosalie laughs. "maybe with benefits" she smiled.

"but! i wasn't gonna let him off that easy. i'm still trying to gain my trust for him" she continued.

"well you can gain it back with today and the next 2 days. after breakfast, we're getting on the boat" jimena says.

"yes! im excited!"

"why are we excited? it's 7 in the morning" sebastian groaned, coming in the kitchen.

"we're getting on the boat, so hurry up and eat"

milo comes down with nate, and they both sit at the table. after milo talked to rosalie, he pulled sebastian out of his room and had a very long conversation with him. they made up, but milo was still on a "trial".

"goodmorning" the guys say.

"morning"

rosalie turned around to look at milo, who was already looking at her. they greeted each other with a smile and went on with their morning.

AN HOUR GOES BY and they settled on the boat. they prepared snacks and drinks, safety gear and other things for the water. after 10 minutes of arguing, the guys decided to take turns of driving the boat every hour.

considering it was a 3 day weekend, they were many others in boats. it wasn't crowded, but definitely many boats to count.

they found a good spot to swim in, so they put on their swim vests.

milo leans down and grabs a jacket from the storage bin. as he was putting it on, rosalie noticed it was her late grandfather's vest.

"that was my grandpas, it was the only one he'd put on" rosalie says.

"you want me to take it off? there's plenty more for me to use" milo says,

"no no, i don't mind. you look good in it" rosalie smiled.

the spark between them was shining bright and rosalie felt good for the first time. she started to feel what she felt when they first started talking. happiness.

"who's bedazzled vest is this?" nathan joked, grabbing the vest from the bin.

"give me that" leah snatched. "i was in 5th grade when i did this"

nathan laughed at leah hysterically and because of that, she pushed him off the boat. nathan had his vest on, so he knew she did it for fun.

"get in! the waters fresh" nathan yelled.

"last one in is a rotten egg!"

the rest of the 4 jumped in the water, and created a big splash. no one couldn't tell who jumped in last except nathan. to their surprise, it was milo.

"you're the rotten egg, take a shot!" nathan laughs.

"alcohol in the middle of the water? i-i don't think that's a good idea" milo laughs.

"take the shot! take the shot!"

"you are all going to be the death of me."

5:30PM HIT, so they all go back and decided to start a fire. BONFIRE, of course. while the guys walked around and grabbed wood, the girls went in for a quick shower.

after their showers, they went back downstairs and prepared s'mores and drinks. rosalie had completely forgot they bought packs of wood yesterday, so she went down to the garage and grabbed some. milo, nathan and sebastian had already found wood, so they decided to use the wood for extra.

the snacks and drinks were ready for the fire, so they walked out with the boards in their hands.

"did you guys set it up yet?" leah began.

"yeah, we found a lighter so we just need to light it up now " sebastian replies.

they stood aside and watched as they lit it up. within seconds, the spark of flames shined and the fire was set.

"oh, you guys would survive in the woods after all" jimena joked.

"yeah i don't know about nate" milo teased.

nathan gave him a smug of a look and laughed at his joke. the fire was settled, so they all sat with each other. rosalie however, sat on the couch near leah. milo sat across from rosalie, on purpose.

"hey rose, your grandparents have a nice home. they stay in LA too?" nathan asks.

"my grandma stays in georgia, it was the last place my grandpa lived in, before he past. and she spends her summer here, it also reminds her of my grandpa since he loved the lakehouse so much" rosalie explains.

" it is an amazing house. you had a splendid idea of spending the weekend here"  nathan smiled.

"yeah, with different intentions" rosalie laughs.

she looked at milo and he was already looking.

as always.

he gazed at her, he loved watching her.  he was so crazy in love, he was just hoping to hear from her, saying that she loved him too.
