I lay down and close my eyes, after a few minutes the sun disappears and I frown. When I look up, Harry is standing over top of me, blocking the sunshine with his tall frame. 

"You're blocking the sun" I say and he steps closer

"Come get a drink with me" He holds out his hand

"Okay" I smile and take it

He lifts me up and I pull on my cover up. We begin to walk down the beach, and I look out at the water, which is sparkling underneath the mid-day sun.

"You told Delaney?" He asks

"Yes, Im sorry" I mumble

"While you and Emma were talking it out she gave me a lecture on what the word secret means"

"Delaney" I groan

"Xavier really means nothing to you?" He asks seriously

"In a romantic sense, no"

"Okay" He says as we get in line

"Hello, what can I get for you two today?" A blonde squeaks from behind the counter

"Ill just have a coke please" I request and Harry asks for the same thing

"Four dollars, please" She smiles and hands us our drinks

I go to reach for my wallet, but I realize I left it in my bag back at the blanket.

"I forgot my purse over there" I blush

"Don't sweat it, It was only two dollars" He shrugs

"Thank-you" I say and tip my cup to him

When we get back, everyone is lounging on the blankets. I take a seat next to Delaney and Harry sits next to me. Delaney grabs my pop and takes a huge sip out of it. I glare at her and grab it back.

"Harry paid two whole dollars for that" I joke and she shrugs

We spend the rest of the day chatting with each other and taking little dips in the water. I lay next to Delaney and we watch the sun set together. The sky slowly fades from bright blue to violet as the sun depends in to the water. I look around at all the couples laying on the beach, some cuddled some making-out. I smile a little and look over at Harry, who is already looking at me.

"We should get going" Emma announces after a few minutes

"What time is it?" Delaney asks

"Six-thrity" Harry says, looking down at his phone

We all stand up and slowly start to fold the blankets. When they are stacked, I grab my bag and help Delaney carry the things to her mothers van. I give her a hug and she tells me she will see me tomorrow. I watch as she drives out of the parking lot and wave to Emma and Xavier as Harry and I walk to his car. I climb in and fasten my seatbelt.

"Did you have fun?" He asks

"Yes, especially when I beat you at soccer" I grin

"You didn't win"

"Yes we did! Did you have fun?"

"Yes, it was relaxing" He says and stretches a little "It's my turn to interrogate you again"

"No! I didn't finish!"

"Too bad, it's my turn now"

"Fine" I grumble and slouch down in my seat

"What makes you smile, Kaelea?" He asks and my lips quirk up

"Food, the internet, jokes"

"What if I made you food, had free wi-fi and told you a joke?"
