"Don't go too fast.. I have short legs." Penn pouts at me, climbing over her cute mint cruiser bike.

I smile and fix her floppy sunhat thingy up, to see her full beautiful face. "If I do, just ring." I chuckle with a flick of my thumb on the bell.

"Too bad we couldn't get a tandem bike! It would be so fun." She squints up at me. Her nose stud sparkling in the sunshine.

"I like you alone on your bike. You look so good, babe!" I turn on my heels and head for my black cruiser.

A shadow appears next to mine. Babe rides up, ringing her bell. "Hey, hottie with the body!" She's all dimples and I love it.

"Hey!" I smile and swerve to the left, away from a rock.

"Where we headed? Any plans or just whatever?"

I look up ahead. The water or lunch.. "Lunch."

"Margarita Ville!" Penn stands on her peddles and speeds off. Golden hair flowing in the wind. One hand on her hat and I take up her idea to do the same.

About an hour later, the water sounded too good. We headed back so Spence can change. Of course, she rummaged through my suitcase for a shirt and hat. Penn walks up, tan slim body, hot pink bikini, her golden hair in a ponytail looped through one of my baseball hats. She looks so beautiful, it's taking all of me to not bring her down and just make out with her on this beach. "Whatcha wanna do?" Her bright smile glows under the bill of the worn navy hat.

"I don't know, babe, what do you wanna do?" I nudge her knee with my foot.

"There's a waterfall hike-ish trail. You end up behind it and, then you can jump off the rocks and into the pond below." I stare at her. "Okay," she laughs. "We don't have to jump, but you're behind a waterfall, James!"

I position myself so she's blocking the sun for me. "If we go up there, we're jumping, babe."

She smiles with her arms behind her back. "It's only a two story jump, from what I've read and heard."

Oh thank god! "That's not too bad.." I sip my melting drink. "When do you wanna go?"

"Now!" She grabs my hand. "The trails behind the bike stop." Our laced fingers are in the small of her back. Sweating and losing each other.

A short little hike, Jimmy carried me on his back. It was mainly rocks and me being me, I'm wearing flip flops. He didn't even break a sweat, so I don't bad about it. "Wow.." He removes his sunglasses.

"That's gorgeous.." I push my hat back to get a better view.

"Just like my Penn.." He says under his breath. Ugh, he kills me sometimes. "Ready?" He kicks his Nikes off, his sunglasses and shirt lay on top of them next to a bush.

I toss the worn cap and my sunglasses on his pile, my shirt, and then flip flops next. "Ready, Eddie!" I smile and jog to the hole in the rocks. "I feel like some kind of explorer. Looking for mermaids in a lagoon or something." I chuckle and wait at the edge. "8 year old me would be jealous of me right now."

He chuckles. "Yeah?" Jimmy touches the falling water. The pond below is so blue, it's almost glowing like glow sticks. "Oh, it's warm!" His smirk shows. "Spencer.." He grabs my hand in a slow motion.

"Mm?" I look over at him.

"5..4.."

"3..2.." I smile and pull him over and out. We fall along with the water against our backs. By the time we hit the water our hold is broken. "Hey, stranger." I smile at the wet head.
