The Story of us

8.Happy tears

Marlee, Lexi, and I are currently in a cano. I'm in the middle,Marlee is in front of me, and Lexi is behind me. It feels nice to hang out with them again.

Marlee keeps standing up, shaking the boat. "Marlee, sit down before we all fall off and get soaked", I chuckle and they laugh.

Marlee made the freshman cheer team and has been dying to show us her dance routine. I love Marlee but sometimes she can be impatient, can't she just wait until we get back on land?

"Okay, but one more time!" She stands up and jumps into the air, touching her toes with her hands. As her feet land onto the boat the whole thing flips over, causing us to fall straight into the chilly water. The water is cold and refreshing since its pretty warm outside. My life jacket helps keep me up, giving me the luxury of not having to tread water.

We all laugh,"told you so", I say in a playful tone.

We continue laughing until we finally have enough strength to climb back into the cano.

On the way back Lexi tells us the story about how this kid in her class put a woopy cushion on the teacher's chair. It's a long story, but I enjoy hearing Lexi ramble again. I missed it. I missed them.

After dinner I go back to my cabin and change into my swimsuit. At lunch Jacob had told me to wear it, I assume we're going to the lake or something. I throw on my blue bikini and a pair of  high waisted shorts.

When I arrive at the Rj table Jacob is already there. His back is facing me and earbuds are in his ears, most likely blaring country music. He looks so innocent and happy.

I quietly sit on top of the table, and cover his eyes with one of my hands, taking the ear buds out with the other. "Guess who?"

"Rowan?"

He turns around, facing me. I frown playfully,"how did you know?"

"I'm just smart", he says in a playfull tone, causing me to laugh.

He stands up, so I do too. He takes my hand in his and starts walking. I am still confused about the destination,"Jacob, where are we going?"

He smiles,"beach."

I squeal. I absolutely love the beach! The way the wind blows in my hair and how the sand feels beneath my feet. It makes me feel free and unstoppable. And to make it even better the sun is setting causing a beautiful sun set to form.

I can feel Jacob looking at me as we walk on the sand, heading toward the waves. ,"can you stop doing that?"

He knits his eyebrows, causing him to look confused,"doing what?"

"Staring at me, it makes me feel self conscious."

He shakes his head."no."

I raise an eye brow, "why?"

He stares at the sunset and squeezes my hand. "Have you seen yourself Ro? You're as beautiful as the fricken galaxy. Do you know that? You are the most gorgeous thing put on this planet, inside and out. There for I will not stop looking at you."

I smile,happy tears forming in my eyes, Im about to speak, before Jacob presses his finger against my lips,"you don't need to say anything yet, come on." 

As we get closer to the water I see writing in the sand.

I drift towards the writing and walk as I read what it says, 'will you be my girlfriend?'
