Eve's POV:
My feet sink into the sand and I'm up to my shins in water. When we got there, I was glad I was wearing my shorts and tank top. I threw my hair up in a messy bun and Ashton ripped off his shirt like it was a price-tag on a new pair of jeans.
"C'mon! Get in!"
It's really dark and the beach is empty. "We have the waves to ourselves." Ashton said. I don't know how to surf and I don't want to. Ashton rented a surfboard by the little shop on the boardwalk, he let me pick out the color. I picked Red.
"Eve! Just come a little deeper! The water is really warm." He stands in the water, a while away, as he clings to his board with one arm.
"No…" I say. "I don't want to get my clothes wet."
"I got my shorts wet," He says, walking towards me. He did, but he also pulled those dirty old shorts from the back of his trunk. My outfit is new.
"That's different."
"How?"
"Because,"
"Because how?"
He's now only half a foot away, his height towering over me and his lips so close to mine. I bit mine to help with my temptation to pounce on him right then and there.
"Because," I choke. He leans in closer and I start to close my eyes, but as soon as I do, a pool of water is being splashed on me, drenching all of myself and my clothes. I open my eyes and mouth in shock.
"Well, now you have to get in," Ashton smirks, proud of his little joke.
"Oh, you're gonna get it." I wave my finger at him, he backs away and the water starts to get deeper, it's now up to my torso.
I splash him, he splashes me, I push him, he throws me.
"Put me down! Put me down!" I screech, he laughs and puts me down.
"Jerk!" I yell but laugh.
Our breathing slows down as we fade out of laughter, he tucks a loose strand of hair behind my ear. His thumb runs down my cheek bone. I'm holding my breath.
"Breathe silly." He rubs noses with me, I smile and exhale.
"WAHOO!! THERE'S NOBODY HERE!!" I hear a familiar voice holler from the other end of the beach, mine and Ashton's heads both turn towards the noise.
It's Michelle and her obnoxious friends.
Fuck.
I thought she was at a friends house?
"Oh no, no, no, fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck." I curse under my breath, Ashton just sits back amused, his hand still on my hip.
"We have to go." Ashton's face falls when he realizes I'm serious.
"Why? Because a few kids crashed the beach?"
"No, no. That's-" Oh crap. Do I want to tell him? I basically just dropped a big bomb on him not more than 4 days ago.
Yea but you lied to him before, now look where that got you.
My subconscious slurs, she's right. I'm so lucky to have another chance with him, I should just be honest.
"That's my sister." I say. "We have to go."
"The small one?" He asks, looking at me then back at her.
"Yes, now lets just-" "Hey!" Ashton waves down the group of idiot middle schoolers.
"No! Ash, what're you doing?!" I whisper forcefully. He looks back at me and holds up his finger. Out of frustration, I stop in the water and hit the water with my hands, splashing it onto my drenched tank top.
