Tatum's POV:
I woke up the next morning in the best mood ever. Just knowing that almost everyone we knew and loved accepted Ross and I, it felt great. I am so happy. And I feel so grateful to have Ross in my life.

I thank the lord for Ross everyday. I have no idea what I'd do without him. He's my angel from above. He's definitely a life saver. I need him.

Speaking of that cute and loving boy, he texted me this morning. He said something about meeting the guys' girlfriends. I had no idea that they other boys had girlfriends; especially Rocky. I mean, when I first met Rocky, I was pretty sure he liked me. Well, until Ross told him I was fourteen. But he's so sweet, so I don't know how he couldn't have a girlfriend.

So, after showering and getting dressed in a pair of ripped jeans shorts and a white t shirt, I packed a bag with swim stuff in it. I know how much the Lynch family loves swimming, and I'm sure I'd regret not bringing a bikini. I think ahead, and that's why I'm always prepared.

I trotted down the steps in my black, beat up converse. I grabbed an apple out of the fridge and then plopped my little butt down on the couch. I turned on the television and watched American Horror Story for a good half hour before Ross finally arrived to pick me up.

I head his knock on the door, so I darted for it. I swung open the door, and when I did, I saw a blonde, smiling fool. He opened his arms wide as I jumped right into them. I giggled as he kissed my jaw with me held tightly in his arms.

"Hi Tatum," he whispered into my ear. I smiled and ran my hand through his hair multiple times as he spun me around.

"Hi Ross. Shall we go now?" I giggled. He nodded his head at me and put me down.

Ross grasped my hand in his, "We shall!"

We raced each other to the car, and he opened my door for me. I smiled and hopped into the passenger seat. Ross buckled me up, as usual, and planted a soft kiss on my lips.

I smiled into the kiss and sighed. Ross smiled as well and then pulled away, slamming my door shut and running to his side of the car.

After arriving at the humble Lynch household, Ross and I raced into the house. He beat me of course, because he's so freaking fast. I was panting like a dog by the time I reached the house.

Ross gladly let me in and took my bag for me. I smiled and grasped his hand in mine. After throwing my stuff in his room, Ross and I went to the backyard where everyone was found.

"Hey, I'm gonna go look for Rocky. I'll be right back, I promise," I said to Ross.

He faked a frown, and I giggled, poking his stomach. He giggled and picked his leg up, trying to hide his stomach. "You're so cute," I giggled, then ran away from him.

I finally found Rocky after a good five minutes. He was sitting in the grass by a tree, with a really pretty girl. Prettier than me. I just hope he doesn't ignore me with her here; because that must be his girlfriend.

"Rocky!" I squeaked, running towards the boy.

He hurriedly stood up and opened his arms wide. "Tatum!" He laughed.

I jumped into his arms, wrapping my legs around his torso, and giggling in the process. With his arms around my waist, he spun us around. After being goofy and childish, Rocky finally put me down.

"Hey squirt," he kissed my forehead. I giggled.

Rocky turned around and looked at the girl, still sitting in the grass by the tree that he was previously at. He bit his lip and signaled for her to come over. She stood up and walked towards us, finally standing next to Rocky, as he placed an arm around her.

"Tatum, I'd like you to meet someone," he paused, and smiled. "This is my girlfriend, Jessica. Jess, this is my friend Tatum."

"Hi! It's nice to meet you!" I smiled, holding my hand out for her to shake.

Jessica shook my hand and smiled as well, "It's nice to meet you too! I've heard so many great things about you!" She giggled.

"Really?" I laughed. She nodded. "Rocky, don't talk about me behind my back." I laughed, and pushed his chest.

"Hey! They were all good things!"

I laughed. Rocky looked down and Jessica and smiled. She grinned up at him. He planted a kiss on her head and she then placed her head on his chest.

I told the two lovebirds that I had to go find the other guys and say hi to them, and after that, I left. I found Riker with his girlfriend after I left Rocky and Jessica.

"Rike!" I giggled, walking towards him. He smiled and hugged me, as he was holding the hand of the girl next to him.

"Alright, who's the pretty lady?" I chuckled. He smiled and kissed the girl's cheek as she blushed at my comment.

"Tatum, this is my girlfriend, Adriana. Baby, this is Tatum, Ross's girlfriend," Riker spoke, looking at the both of us.

Adriana and I smiled at each other at the same time, and shook hands. We talked for a while, and she's so sweet. She's just so happy, and always smiling. And she's so pretty, just like Rocky's girlfriend.

Man, why are they all prettier than me?

I shrugged it off. "Well, it was a pleasure meeting you, Tatum! Have a nice day." She chirped.

"You too, Adriana!" I replied, smiling.

I greeted Rydel and Ellington on my way to find Ryland and his girly. Truthfully, I think Rydellington is on the verge of happening.

Finally! I found Ryland. By the food; of course. I laughed on my way over to him.

"Ry!!" I giggled. He smiled at me and pulled me in for a big bear hug. I chuckled into his chest and hugged him tightly.

"Hi, Tatum. This is Jenna, my girlfriend, if you wanted to know," he laughed. "Jenna this is Tatum."

I smiled at her as she did the same. Man, all these girl are so nice! They're all older than me, so I feel like a little kid. Oh well...

"Hi Tatum! Nice to meet you!" She giggled as Ryland poked her side. She slapped his hand.

"Ryland! Stop!" She laughed. I smiled at this cute couple moment.

Speaking of cute couples, where is my other half? Where did Ross disappear to? He wasn't anywhere to be seen in the back yard. He must be in the house somewhere. Perhaps in his room?

I walked into the house and up the stairs to Ross's room. The door was shut and I didn't hear anything on the other side. I knocked on the door.

"Babe? You in here?" I asked.

"Come in, Tatum!" I heard his voice from the inside. I smiled and opened up the bedroom door.

"Man Tatum, I've been waiting for you forever!" He laughed. Ross was sitting on his big bed, shirtless, wearing his swim trunks. I smiled at him.

"Ready for a swim?"

I nodded my head and walked over to him. I plopped down on his lap and turned to face him. He laughed and placed his lips on mine, sweetly.

I kissed him back and desired for more. This is all I'll ever need. And all I could ever want.
