Love In The Rain(bad boy, good girl)

15- beach day number 1(continued)

We arrive on the sandy beach and dump all of our beach stuff in in a pile. Wee took our clothes off, leaving just our swimsuits. We charge towards the turquoise colored water.

"Wooooooo." I screamed in excitement. Running towards the water.

Me feet touch the chilled water.

"Ahhh." I scream again, but this time not very happy. Everyone else got into he water except me. "What are you waiting for?" Zack asks me.

"It's too cold" I pout. "Just get in." Everyone is now telling me it's fine, and I will get used to it.

Zack rises out of the water and comes for me. "What are you doing-" I ask but get interrupted by my own scream as he picks me up bridal style.

"PUT ME DOWN." I scream getting every other person on this beach's attention.

"What fun would it be for you to just stay on land why we enjoy life without you?" He says in response.

He doesn't put me down until he walks out far enough where the water is at his waist and my butt is touching the water.

He begins to loosen his grip on me, threatening to drop me. I scream. " I thought you wanted me to put you down?" He laughs thinking he is so funny.

He drops my legs and uses both of his arms to wrap around my waist so I don't escape. My screams calm down once I get used to the water.

***************

After awhile of getting used to the water we decide to play a game. All of our hair is dry so we play a game with two beach balls where you have to stand in a circle with each other and we have to stand with your legs together so it's harder to keep balance. We throw the beach balls at each other to make each other fall down and get our hair wet. The last one standing wins.

I have an advantage since I have incredible balance.

Although the boys have big muscle and don't like to play nice and hit in the face I still managed to stay up. I catch the ball Riley threw at me and threw it back real fast which caught her off guard and she splashes into the water and rises with a wet, tangled mess on top of her head. She crosses her arms and pouts her way over to the others who have lost.

Now it's just Tyler and I left standing. The beach balls are thrown to us. We each have one in our hands.

"Sorry my friend, but I'm afraid your gonna loose." Tyler says twirling the ball between his two index fingers. Who's says 'my friend'

Thinking he's fast, throws the ball at full speed. But even faster I squat down so we're my butt touches the water but still keeping my legs together. I hear the ball skid across the water behind me.

He's balless.

I throw my ball and he dodges it to the right...but too far to the right where he looses his balance. This crowns me victor. I jump up and down and splash around.

People cheer. Tyler has a piece of something green that came from the water on his head. I laugh. "Sorry my friend, but I'm afraid you have lost." I mimic him from earlier.

"YAY!" I continue to brag. Apparently they have had enough of my bragging because they all charge for me and shove me into the water. So much for winning and staying dry.

I come to the surface and my lips part slightly for air, pushing my wet hair so it was slicked back.

Someone coughed and I looked over to my friends and the others. They we all looking at me some with jaws open and some with wide eyes.

I was gonna yell at them for pushing me in the water but I had to ask what they were staring at. I looked behind me but didn't see anything. "Is there something on my face?" I couldn't help but ask.

Zack spoke up first. " well I don't know what they were looking at. But I was just admiring you. I'm sorry but you could be a model. Sorry." He apologized.

I laugh. "Pfft. Your so funny." He can't be serious.

"Really Cora. Sometimes I wanna run you over just so I can be prettier then you." Riley crosses her arms and I can see the envy in her eyes. This has to be an act. Riley is never jelly.

"Tyler already beat you to that." I laugh and I catch him still staring. When he notices me staring back at him.

"Come on guys. Stop playing around. Let's swim or something." I try to change the subject.

"Sorry. It's just how you popped out of the water all model like and stuff..." One of they guys says.

Why are they bringing it up now. I guess the swimsuit is magical and hides more ugly then usual. Even Izzys was looking at me like the guys were. And she promised she didn't like any of us like that...

I go shoulder deep into the water so I don't feel as uncomfortable. The rest of them follow me to the deep end.

We play a little bit in the water before heading to shore.

"Good thing we're getting out now. I was beginning to look like a grape, all wrinkly and stuff." Bri complains.

We decide to dry off by playing volleyball which I happen to suck at but hey, let's just YOLO or whatever.

Girls against guys. I'm glad Riley's on my team. She's good at every sport. Turns out I'm good at spiking because I leap into the air and slam it into the sand on their side.

We still lost but... I still feel like I have lived life after that.

Before we leave we stop to watch the sunset. All of the shades of reds and oranges.

Zack kisses me on the cheek. I turn my head towards him and blush.

This time he leans in and kisses me on the lips. The butterflies I once had in my stomach for him, had grown into turkeys....or just really big butterflies.

A/N hello guys. I hope you didn't forget about me ☹️ it's hard to update frequently... I should have known that from my last book... Anyways. I hope you guys are having a good day. I'll try to update soon😅
