Red

Today is the next day, which means, the family dinner. I'm afraid that Chad won't like me, not that I care for me, but for Chloe that's her brother. "Red don't worry" she says pulling my chin to look at her "he's gonna like you, and if he doesn't that's fine too" "But it's not fine, you really care about his opinion-" "But I love you more" she smiles before kissing me. It makes me a little calm, but I still don't know how he's gonna react. "Come on, let's go hang out with Frost and the others" she says dragging me outside.

We decided to hang out at the beach and we're about to be the last ones there, Callan, Asher, Frost, and Imani are already sitting on their towels. "Race you?" "Chloe you'll lose" "Really?" She says getting closer to me "100 percent" I say looking at her and she kisses me then runs "Come on!" I say chasing her, I catch up and place our stuff next to the others. "I won" "More like you cheated" "I guess you influenced me" she smiles "Please not right now" Asher whines "What lonely?" I tease "No it's just every time you guys interact I feel like I'm interrupting something" "Whatever" I say sitting down after Chloe put down the towel.

We weren't the last ones, but Celia and Dizzy were "Hey guys! Over here!" Chloe waves them over. "Hey guys" "Hey" they all say at the same time, I'm glad they get to meet our other friends, but I need to talk to Frost so pull her away from everyone "So you brought your crush" "Imani? She's not my crush" "Why lie to me? Who would I tell?" "Chloe" "Okay I guess that's true, but who would she tell?" "No one" "Exactly" "Hey guys we're about to get in the water" Callan yells so we go back.

Chloe takes off the shirt and shorts she had over her bathing suit "You gonna keep looking?" "You're wearing a two piece with a body like that, I can't help it" "You like my body?" "Yeah that's the whole reason I dated you" I joke and she hits me "Yeah, I deserved that" "You coming?" "Yeah" I say taking off the clothes I had over my bathing suit and Chloe starts looking "See something you like" "I don't know what you're talking about" she says turning her head, but I turn it back "You're my girlfriend, it's okay to look at me" I say looking into her eyes before kissing her. "Get a room" Celia says "Ah! Geez when did you get there?" Chloe yells "I was here the whole time" "Yeah okay" Chloe says kind of confused while putting on some sunscreen. "I'm going to go in the water" she says running to the others.

I sit next to Celia because she's staring at a certain someone "When are you gonna make a move" "For what?" "Come on, you like her" "Nope" she shakes her head, but is still looking "Whatever you say, but you're in serious denial" I say putting on some sunscreen and joining them. "Is the water cold?" "No it's hot" Frost says "Okay, no need for that" I say dipping my foot in and it's cold. "You getting in?" Chloe asks "Its too cold".

Chloe

She says it's too cold but it's fine "It's not that cold" "I need to get used to it" "Okay" I say walking up to her "What are you doing?" "Nothing" I say picking her up and going in the water to dunk her "Got used to it?" "How dare you?" She laughs while throwing water at me and I push water her way as well. "We're gonna go play volleyball if you guys want to join?" Imani asks "Yeah be there in a minute" I yell. "So you and me alone" Red says running her hand down my arm "We can do that later" I wink and start to walk away, but she pulls me back into a kiss "Now let's go" she says holding my hand while we go to our friends.

We decided that which ever team wins gets to choose lunch. It's me, Frost, Celia and Callan against Red, Imani, Dizzy and Asher. Weird teams I know, but it's kinda bonding, we start the game with me serving the ball and finding out Red and Dizzy suck at volleyball "Come on guys!" Asher yells at them frustrated "Ha! Your team sucks!" Frost laughs "No we don't!" Imani responds "I'll believe it when I see it!" She yells back. "Alright, 1-0" Callan says trying to not argue "Can we play?" Aziz asks "No" says Callan immediately, and getting in front of me. "Relax, I just want to play a game, like a water fight!" He says throwing a balloon at Red, but misses. Then Marigold and Sophia spray us with water, but her friends throw balloons full of syrup at us and buckets of sand.

"Fuck that!" Red yells "Yeah, fuck them" Frost adds walking with Red "Stop guys" I say "No way they just-" "No let's get this off of us, then let's get revenge" "That's my girl!" Red yells hugging me, both of us sticky "Yeah! Let's all hug Chloe!" Asher adds running into me "Okay that's enough" I say gasping for air as he almost knocked all of the air out of me. We wash off in the showers and we got most of it off "So what's the plan?" Asher asks rubbing his hands together "I don't really know" "I know let's call them and pretend to be a doctor and say their mom died" "That might be a little too far Celia" Dizzy says and Celia pouts. "How about we cover them in syrup as well, but we also add fries-" "Why would we add fries, Imani" Frost asks "Let me finish, right add fries for the birds to attack them and they'll run into a shelter, or in this case the bathroom that doesn't work and lock them in there" "That's actually a good idea, thanks Imani" I say patting her shoulder "No problem".

We get the supplies and find the main three Aziz, Marigold, and Sophia together, perfect time. We throw everything on them and the birds were about to attack but Sophia stopped them with her singing. "We forgot about that" Red groans and Celia does something and birds go back, we just stare at her "What I got friends on the other side" "How-" I was about to say but they already went in the bathroom we run a lock them in there. "It's already 5?!" Red yells "Oh we have to go bye guys!".

Red

We rush home and take showers, I put on my dress but I don't know if it looks good. I turn around to see Chloe and she's beautiful even if it's a plain dress "What?" She asks as I stared to long "Does this look good?"  "Red you look gorgeous" she smiles and puts her hand on my arm "so relax, it's gonna go well". I hope it does. It's 7 the carriage is here so we get in, and go to the castle, I don't know how Chad will act. We open the door and take a seat at the dinner table, and of course he's right across from me. "So, Mom, Dad how are you this fine evening?" He asks with passion aggression "It's going well, but this isn't about us it's about Red and Chloe" "It sure is, I hope one of them doesn't break the other's heart" he says straight to me. "I'm sorry I need a second to talk to Red" Chad says getting up so I get up as well but Chloe grabs my wrist "Hey, you don't have to go" "I want to" I say following him to a different room.

"So... what is it?" I ask rocking back and forth "What do you mean?!" He whispers "you break my sister's heart and come back, and she let you" "Yeah, I know and I'm sorry for that, I didn't mean to I was going through something" "Like what?" "Like thinking she's better off without me, and I'll ruin her life if I'm still in it" I say and he looks at me with empathy "Why didn't you say anything? You didn't have to hurt her." "I'm not going to hurt her this time I promise" "Sad part is I can't trust you, I'll believe it when I see it" he says putting a hand on my shoulder before going back to the table. At least he doesn't hate me.

The rest of the dinner goes well and after me and Chloe goes to her room. "Finally it's over" I exhale "It wasn't that bad" "I know, but being next to you and not doing anything is so hard" I whine "Anything like what?" She asks with a smirk "Like this" I say putting a hand on her waist and on her face to kiss her. "My parents are home" she says putting her forehead on mine "Yeah like on the other side of the castle" "Chad as well" she says crossing her arms so I  lock the door. "Problem solved" I say leaning into a kiss but she dodges it "What gives?" "Should we really be doing this here?" "It's only making out, unless you wanna do more" I say pushing her up against the door "I-" she says but I interrupt her with a kiss "What do you say Princess?" "Stop talking" she says kissing back sloppily.
