Gibsie

I would be blatantly lying if I said I was paying attention to the friendly makeshift rugby match I was playing with the lads. In all honesty, can you blame me? I'm a seventeen year old boy who is standing meters away from the most beautiful girl I've met in all my entire life, absorbing sunlight like a plant, wearing nothing but a red bikini. I loved red. I loved red on her. I've ogling her practically since we got to the bleeding beach and she hasn't noticed, except for that moment when she shot me a little sheepish smile when we locked eyes.
I got a smile out of her, that smile that I secretly lived for, and I smiled and winked back at her at the achievement. My heart hammered and I stared until she looked away. How was it even possible for someone to feel such a vast range of emotions in just a few seconds from actions as simple as her's will always be one of life's unsolved mysteries.

I could hear Claire, Johnny's girl and the other blonde talking, they weren't exactly being quiet. Claire was loudly talking about how much she liked me and how that smile and wink was for her (who's gonna tell her?). Props to my better judgment, I ignored them. That is until I made the huge mistake of looking over again. There laid Haven, looking like actual heaven. I stood like a bleeding idiot, mouth probably agape, mesmerized by the way her skin lit up as the sun hit it. I didn't even register the ball going past me, I didn't register my friend's groans of complaint, I didn't register Feely jogging over, I only registered her.

"Oi Gibsie!" Feely snapped me out of my blissful trance as he slowed down to walk in front of me "Are you just going to keep eye fucking Haven over there or are you going to get your head in the damn game?" He shook his head and passed right by me to go over to Hughie. If he would've given me half a second I swear I would've answered.

"Gibsie, lad" Johnny, my best friend, asked as he jogged over to me "What's on your mind? You've been off all day long" He asked with furrowed brows and arms crossed over his chest

I obliged myself to look away from Johnny's younger sister "Uh nothing, I'm-I'm okay" I mumbled out. Get your head straight Gibson.
Johnny chuckled and raised an eyebrow, noticing my whole shift in mood immediately. He also didn't miss the not so subtle glance I threw at a specific direction. That made him smirk. "Oh really?" He drawled. "Nothin? You seem to be starin' in one direction an awful lot"
I rolled my eyes and felt the tip of my ears redden. Fuck. "Really it's nothing, I was just looking" At your sister; I was looking at your goddamned sister

Johnny looked over his shoulder and followed my line of vision which led a straight line towards his little sister. Johnny turned back to my face, which was surely red by now. He raised an eyebrow, "Yeah, just looking. At my baby sister, right?"

Fuck me sideways. 

"No! Not at Haven" I quickly spoke. "God, never at Haven man" I followed up as he looked at me with an amused grin,"Like don't get me wrong Kav she's a great girl and very pretty but she's your sister so-so she's off limits and shit ya know"

Johnny let out another chuckle. How did he find my obvious discomfort amusing? "So ya think she's pretty huh?" He asked, taking a step closer to me. I got even more flustered, if that was possible.
"Well I mean like, if I was looking at this objectively then like yeah sure. But not like I'm attracted to her or anything" I tried to cover up, my whole body reeked with embarrassment

"So like you're saying you're not attracted to her?" He asks me, clearly enjoying this and raising his eyebrows "You saying you've never looked at her or checked her out?"

That stumped me. I stumbled upon my words aimlessly trying to find a response that wouldn't make me sound like an actual deranged train wreck. I pause, swallowing my pride "Well I mean yeah, once or twice" I quickly try to cover up. "But so has everyone! I mean I'm certain even you've glanced at her a few times!"
