Stay Gold {O2L}

60 Days

AMBER MILLER

After A LOT of persuading Uncle Randy, he cracked and is letting us stay the summer in LA.

We had completely unpacked and made the apartment ours and have been spending most of our time walking around LA and taking everything in.

Andrea has been avoiding us at all times. Either she is hanging off Kian's arm, bitching at someone, or spending someone else's money but at least she is keeping her distance.

We havent really hung out with boys in the last few days, but were all going to the beach today. I put on my red polka-dotted bikini and headed out of Candace and my room to find Melinda. 

She was wearing a black string bikini that looked flawless on her "Melinda, you look HOT!" I laughed as I startled her. She just smiled "I know, ready to go? Candace, Katie and the boys are all at the beach and its about a ten minute walk" I nodded and the two of us headed out.

"So I saw Trevor eyeing you the whole time we were at that party" Melinda stated as we walked down the street, getting checked out by quite a few pervs.

"He was probably just wondering what kind of grotesque creature I am" I laughed dryly as I shook any possible chance of him and I having a relationship out of my thoughts. Kian is my favorite anyways.

"How about you? Do you have a crush on anyone?" I asked, trying to get the subject off of me. She looked at the ground and showed emotions I had yet to see from her; shyness and sadness.

"I have kind of liked Sam for a while. He used to go to school with Katie and I, but got homeschooled after his YouTube got big. I have had a crush on him since I was in 7th grade and was in advanced math. He sat infront of me everyday for the whole year. I used to drop my pencil so I could touch his hand as he gave it back to me; I always got those sparks, but I assume he doesn't feel the same, I mean he never made a move" She smiled sadly and looked at the beach we were approaching.

"Why didn't you ever make the move?" I asked, wondering why such an overly confident girl wouldn't want to ask Sam out, the worse he could do was turn her down.

"I'm shyer than I like to lead on" Was all she said before she sprinted ahead to find Katie, Candace and the boys. I followed behind her, trying to think of the perfect plan to get them together.

"Hey!" I was shocked out of my thoughts and jumped in the air before looking next to me to see Trevor. "I'm Trevor, we never really got to meet" He pulled a hand out from him short pocket and I shook it and laughed "I'm Amber, what's up?" I smiled and he just shrugged.

"I just got here a few minutes ago. I love the other O2L guys like brothers, but it's hard to talk to people so much older than me. Sometimes they treat me like such a kid" As he said that Connor splashed some water at him and he stuck his tounge out at him.

"I don't see why" I giggled "But I get what you're saying. I am two years younger than Melinda and Katie and they think the age gap is a lot bigger sometimes" I said and he nodded his head in agreement before checking me out.

"I didn't realize it before but that bikini looks really good on you" He winked and I blushed a deep red. "Okay. I take it back. You're not a little kid, you're a PERV!" I laughed and splashed him.

"Oh no you didnt!" He began to chase me all around the beach and I was laughing so hard I thought my stomach was going to expload. He finally stopped running and we stopped infront of JC, Melinda, Sam and Ricky who were all talking. I knew what I had to do.

I ran over and pushed Melinda right into the arms of Sam before screaming "SORRY".

She'll thank me later.

MELINDA SMITH

I.Can.Not.Believe.She.Just.Did.That. 

I smiled up at Sam, whose arms I was now in, and he winked before setting me back up straight. 

"I don't like children" I said as I schrunched up my eyebrows and crossed my arms and stomped my foot into the ground.

"So it's been a while since we last talked" Sam said, gesturing for me to take a seat next to him on the beach blanket, which I happily agreed.

"Yeah, it really has been, how are you?" I asked, looking up at him to see that he was staring down at me. 

"Can't complain" He laughed. We kept talking for the next hour, realizing that we liked a lot of the same things. Soon, it was dark and everyone was going late-night swimming in the ocean.

Sam stood up and held out his hand to pull me up. The both of us ran into the water, shivering from its coldness and splashing each other.

Sam picked me up and twirled me around in the water. He held me close to him, not daring to put me down as our eyes locked.

"You know, you're really gorgeous Melinda" He smiled a breathtaking smile as he pushed a strand of wet hair out of my face.

"You're really handsome" I giggled and looked up at the moon. "Wow, what a view" I whispered.

"I am looking at a better one right now" He said as he stared down at me, letting his eyes slowly travel down my body and back up to my eyes again.

He set me down onto the ground again, our faces dangerously close. I could feel his breath on my lips and I could faintly smell his sunscreen.

"Guys! We gotta get back! It's almost midnight!" I turned around to see that everyone else was out of the water and already dried off, beckoning us. I laughed and grabbed Sam's hand as the both of us ran out.

"We will pick this up later" I winked and grabbed my flip flops before running to Amber, Candace and Katie.
