[Kirsten's Point Of View:]

Hell no. I'm definitely not wearing my bikini into the car without shorts. Ugh.

Especially when Hayes turns the strength of the air-conditioning higher.

I ended up slumping on the inner surface of my bedroom door, desperately waiting for my boyfriend to finish changing.

It's just a pair of shorts. How could it take so long.

Oh wait.

I pulled out my phone from my beach bag and checked snapchat.

Very funny Hayes.

Let's think of a way to make Hayes to come out of the bathroom.

Ah ha!

I clicked the button and filmed a 7 second video of me, apparently waiting, with the caption:

"What I do when I'm waiting for my boyfriend."

Hmmm. My story or to Hayes.

Nevermind. Both!

In an instant, Hayes came out of the toilet and asked, "Were you waiting that long babe?"

"Haha. Do you think so?"

I grabbed my Nike black workout shorts and quickly changed into them before I head out of the doors.

When I finished, I stuffed my sunglasses, wallet, phone and other essentials into my bag and tossed it onto my shoulder.

I grabbed some chips and some ready-made fruit cups and salads and put them into some bags.

Without asking, Hayes took the bags with food and got out of the door; taking them to the trunk of the car.

Wow. I like that.

I called my sister, Kris, out to Hayes' car and we got in.

I took out my phone once again and took a selfie.

Well, I need evidence.

I posted it right on Instagram, making sure not to over-exaggerate my caption.

Hmm. Should I call more friends over so I'd have better photos?

Totally. Like Gladys and Veronica. Oh Danielle and Sam!

That's totally believable now.

I thumbed the phone icon and dialed in Gladys' number.

I thought about it again and I realized that Gladys had to organize some summer programme in our school this week.

Nevermind; more time with Hayes. Yay.

[Hayes' Point Of View:]

As we stopped a red light, I stretched my hand out to Kirsten's.

My fingers find hers and they interlace themselves so that there's no gap between them.

Kirsten pulls our clasped hands towards her chest and buries her face with it. "I love you Hayes."

Her words, slightly muffled because of our hands, made me smile as the light turned green.

"I love you too babe."

I said as I directed my vision to the lane I'm driving on.

Oh my phone's ringing.

Kirsten answered it and put it on speaker.

Nash.

"Hayes. Where the fuck is the minivan?"

"Oh yeah Nash. I'm driving it."

"I just came back from New York and I get a vanished car. Right out of the driveway. What are you doing with my car anyways."

"I'm taking my girfriend out. Yeah."

"Wait. YOU HAVE A FUCKING GIRLFRIEND. Does Mom even have a clue?"

"Not really. Uhm. They went out for a vacation somewhere with Skylynn."

"Where are you going now with my car?"

"Venice Beach. Meet us there in 15 okay."

"Wow. You're the big brother here. Wow Hayes. Okay I'll be there in 15 and I'll see your girlfriend."

"Bye, Trash Nash."

"Seriously. In front of your girlfriend?"

I ended the call and bursted out into spontaneous and uncontrollable laughter.

Okay. I think Mom needs to know.

I called Mom up and told her. Apparently, Dad and her approved. That was not anticipated.

+ + +

I parked the car and walked over to Nash; leaning against a lightpost. I passed the keys to him and obviously introduced him to Kirsten.

"Nash, Kirsten. Kirsten, Nash. Yeah. She's my girlfriend. Mom and Dad knows too."

"Cool. The car looks dusty. What the hell did you do with it?"

"Oh yeah. Let's say we went somewhere in L.A. and visited an abandoned building and did some midnight venturing? We had McDonald's this morning for breakfast."

"WHAT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU ANYMORE HAYES."

Nash just stood there laughing his ass off like there was no tomorrow.

[Kirsten's Point Of View:]

After a whole day of fun, swimming and splashing, I was seriously tired.

Cameron and Nash were busy running around the beach filming videos and vines.

Hayes and I just sat there, in the sand, watching every moment that was in front of us.

"I wish we where alone, haha."

Hayes said as he leaned back a little more.

"I feel like I almost always wish that."

+ + +

He pulled me to his lips until our lips locked. His blue eyes looked gray against the light from the setting sun.

At first, the kiss was small, but then it grew bigger. Warm aches spread across my body as my hands held the back of his neck and spine.

His arms were loosely hanging at my waist. It felt so surreal.

Our lips sync to one rhythm. It wasn't long until our heartbeats mimicked the same beat.

The kiss gradually died down to small pecks on my cheeks.

"Oh Hayes, being Hayes with Kirsten, awhh!"

Nash and Cameron practically teases us and squished their phones in our faces.

Please don't tell me that's going on Vine and in a few hours Hayes and I will go trending everywhere.

Oh my lord. That's going to be funny as heck. That 6 second video of us looking at each other will go viral?

Pftsh. I don't think that'll happen.
