RACHEL'S POV

Brendon and I left Ryan at home to work on half of this damage control. We went to the party store to pick up paper plates, silverware, cups, napkins, and whatever else we needed. Brendon grabbed a shopping cart while I went off to start collecting supplies. He found me on the piñata aisle with a purple star shaped one in my hand. I picked up a few more and put them in the cart before we moved on to the streamer aisle. Everything about this party was going to be purple in honor of Hannah's favorite color; Brendon and I continued to fill the cart with stuff and he kept smiling at me.

"What?" I smiled back.

"You're amazing" he told me.

"Aww Bren, you're amazing too" I planted a small kiss on his lips.

"It's so great that you're willing to help with this"

"Well Hannah is my best friend and Ryan, as stupid as he may be, is my brother. I love them both and I just want to help. I mean, I knew we wanted him to put moves on her but really?"

"Yeah, hopefully this will fix that" he said.

"Hopefully. Looks like we've got everything. Let's go pay and we can pick up a cake"

"Sounds good" he said.

We headed off to the cake shop where we asked for a triple chocolate, raspberry monstrosity. They said it would take about an hour or so to make so Brendon suggested we get some lunch and come back afterwad. We picked up some burritos and went to the beach for a little picnic. We ate and watched kds play in the water; normally I hated the beach but being here with Brendon was fine with me. I was nearly done eating when he turned to me and smiled again.

"Don't watch me eat!" I whined, stuffing the last bite of burrito in my mouth and wiping my lips with a napkin.

"You're adorable"

"Not when I eat!" I complained.

"I really mean it, Rachel. You're the most perfect girl I've ever met.

I blushed as he leaned over to kiss me. We kissed and it was amazing; I was really falling for this boy.

"Brendon, I like you" I blurted.

"I like you too, Rachel. I was actually wondering if you...if...do you want to be more than friends? Like boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"YEEEEEEE" I squealed and tackled him against the sandy ground. "That's an absolute yes by the way"

We made out in the sand for awhile before my phone rang, the cake was ready. We went back to pick it up and to finish shopping.
