Keaton's pov
__________
I just arrived at the airport, in hopes of the plane landing soon. I wonder what this Alex character will be like. I have never met him before.
________
I see some people start to come off the plane. There is one kid who grabs my attention. Black jeans, white tee, black beenie, and all black converse.
I couldn't help but check him out. He looks at me surprised and I immediately take my glare away. I feel the blood rush to my cheeks as he walks over.

Now that I've met my roommate we drive to the dorm. Oh course beforehand we stop at Walmart and Dunkin Donuts. "Do you want anything?" I ask shyly. I don't want to ask him out so soon I mean like I don't even know if he's into me. "Just a small hot caramel coffee."
"Anything else sir, or is that all?" She spats at me as I try to order his coffee. "A large hot caramel coffee." I reply quite cocky. "I said small."he restated. " I'll finish what you don't."his cheeks turn a shade of red almost as dark as Scarlett. I love the beauty of his face.
She tells us our fee. He pulls out two five dollar bills. "I got it." I state. "No, that's quite okay I'm not poor or anything." Is that what he thought I was getting at. "No, no that's not at all... I mean I wanted to be nice... So... I-" he cuts me off. "I'm kidding. But seriously I can get it."
He hands me a five. I take it and pay with my money. I take his hand and put the five in it. "I've got more than enough money. I honestly don't mind paying for you. Plus it's a great way to start our relationship." I spit out not even thinking. I see his cheeks turn to that beautiful shade of red again. "Our friendship" I quickly save myself.

We are back at the dorm after about thirty minutes of just driving. "So what do you do for fun?" I ask making small talk.
"I read. Sometimes write a little. I also love music especially yours. How about you? Got any interesting hobbies?" My time is spent mostly recording or at the beach.
"Well the beach is a fun activity we do a lot. We meaning the guys and me." I state trying to make it sound as little boring as possible. "We can go later, maybe pick up the boys. Sound fun?"
Alex's pov*
Did he just ask me to go to the beach with him? "Uh- yeah, sure." I respond quite nervous. I am honestly horrified of the ocean.
_______
We get to the boys' house. All I'm wearing is a bathing suit and a tank top. What a great first impression, right?
He sends them a group message letting them know we are outside.
Keaton's pov*
Me- "We are outside"
Drew- "One minute. We are looking for our bathing suits."
Me- "We're coming in!"
I open the door. "Come on they are looking for their bathing suits. This will be a while." I take the key out of the ignition as he lets out a slight chuckle.
"What is so funny?" I ask walking towards the door. "Nothing, just you guys are silly. You cute little goofballs, you" he says as we walk in.
I feel the tingling sensation of butterflies as he says this. My cheeks suddenly flush. The guys come running out. Wesley is in his boxers. Drew is ready to go.
"Who is this? Wait are you blushing?" Wes blurts out. Damn it. "This is Alex my roommate. You guys will be seeing him a lot. And no damn you. I am not." We sit on the couch next to each other, our hands awkwardly making contact. I blush.
"Sorry. It was an accident." I apologize. "That's okay I kind of like it." My cheeks turn just as red as his as he says this. "A-Are you sure? I mean I liked it... Sort of. But if you aren't into it I completely understand. I mean like we barely know each other and if it aren't okay with it-" I ramble on. "Keaton!" He interrupts me, giving a slight chuckle. "It's okay. I liked it." He says placing his hand in mine.
I blush. "I like you Keaton." At this point my face burning hot and a darker red than the picture of the cherry on my trunks. "I promise." He says starting to blush a little. "Pinky promise? The most sacred of all promises." I ask. "Pinky promise" he chuckles. Our pinkies interlock. He kisses me on the forehead. As much as I like him, I don't want to rush into this. I want to kiss his beautiful plump lips, but I don't want to go to fast. Maybe we're just meant to be.
(A/N)
I'm really proud of this chapter. I just can't believe I'm actually writing a book. I owe it all to my best friend Leah who encouraged me to actually try to finish something.
But other than that
