Ross POV
I woke up the next morning. Jacqueline was still asleep...naked?! I looked down and saw that I was also missing my bathing suit. Then I remembered last night...I climbed to the rock were I saw my bathing suit and pulled it on. Jacqueline started to stir and when she woke up she looked around, confused, and then smiled. I pulled her bikini out from behind my back and she screamed. She looked down and said, "Oh my god! Gimme that!"
I shouted "Catch me if you can!" and started running around the cave. She chased me without thinking. I let her catch up to me and then held the suit above my head, using my height to my advantage. She jumped as high as she could. Once she realized that was hopeless she began climbing up me...it felt good.
I finally let her have her bikini and once she put it on she looked at me and saw a smirk on my face. , she said, "Well played, Lynch, well played. Hope you enjoyed the show."
I laughed and said, "As much as I am enjoying myself, we better get back. My siblings are probably wondering where we are."
"Oh my god! I totally forgot about them. Let's go!"
Riker POV
I woke up lying next to Chelsey. I looked around and saw all my brothers, Ellington and Rydel lying around us. But Ross and Jacqueline were still missing...and so was that girl Lindsay. I woke everyone up and got straight to business. "Rocky, where is Lindsay?"
He looked at his feet and said, "Umm...she went home. It's not gonna work out between us."
I felt bad, he looked sad. "Okay, no questions asked, but you know you can talk to me if you need to. Okay, so Ross and Jacqueline are clearly no here and we kinda need to find them..."
Ellington bud in, "Thank you, captain obvious! But um how exactly do you suggest we do that?"
I sarcastically responded, "Ha. ha. ha. Very funny ell. If we can all be mature here, we actually have to come up with a-" Rydel was pointing over my shoulder towards the ocean. I looked behind me to see Ross and Jacqueline coming out from the water holding hands. "Where have you been? Ross, we have-" I began my lecture, the big brother in me coming out.
"Chill, bro." Ross said, putting his hand on my chest. "We're here now."
Ratliff came dancing over pointing at Ross's neck singing, "Ooh la la, Rossy's got kissies..." Soon Rocky had joined in, then Ryland, and it only escalated from there.
Finally Ross yelled, "You guys are just jealous!"
That didn't stop them, so I helped out. "Guys, come on! We have to get back to the house. We're going back on tour tonight." I immediately knew I shouldn't have mentioned tour.
Ross started up, "I can't leave now! Jacqueline and I are staying here! Together!" He grabbed her hand and started pulling her, but she let go.
He looked back at her and she said calmly, "Ross, you have to go. You have tons of fans who want to see you-"
"I don't want them, I want you! I thought you wanted me too-"
"Ross, I do. But you have a career to think about. I will still be right here waiting for you when you get back. You love to be on stage, performing-"
"Not if I'm not with you-"
"Ross, get a grip! You're going on tour. We have the rest of the day together and then we can exchange phone numbers before you leave. I'm not going to be the one who holds you back. Let's go!" She marched towards her house and I followed.
"Dayummm." I heard Ellington say from behind. We were all thinking it. Pretty soon Ross ran to the front to walk with Jacq, He seemed to decide to make the best of his last day with her.
Jacqueline POV
It was hard for me to let Ross go when I wanted him to stay, but I knew it was for the best. We arrived at my house and I saw my least favorite person on earth sitting on my front door step: Nicole. "What are you doing here?" I sneered.
"Well I don't like this little shack much either, but I heard R5 was here."
"Who told you that?"
"It's all over twitter...duh." It was just me and her because I had sprinted ahead at the last minute...the others would come up soon.
"Look, Nicole, I think-" The rest of the gang entered the scene.
"Oh my god!" I turned around and saw that it was Ratliff.
Nicole gasped, "Ellington?!" I whipped my head back toward Nicole.
Riker spoke, "You two know each other?" But there was no response because Nicole's face pressed against Ratliff's and they were making out. Rydel sniffed and ran back down the beach, yelling something about dropping a bracelet.
Rocky spoke up, "Does anyone know what's going on here?" No one replied.
Finally Ellington pulled out and looked at all the confused faces. "Guys, this is Nicole. Nicole, this is my band and Ryland."
Nicole sneered, "You're part of R5!? Clearly a lot has changed."
I stepped forward and said, "You love birds care to explain?"
"Nicole and I dated for three years before I joined R5. We met at a performing arts center in LA. But she moved here for her dad's work and I joined R5." He turned to Nicole, "I missed you so much."
She bit her lip and whispered, "Wanna come back to my place?" Ellington looked to the band and they all nodded so off they went. Ratliff carried Nicole down the street bridal style.
Rocky POV
Ellington and Nicole ran down the street...okay then. Riker immediately said, "I'm gonna go talk to Rydel." And ran down the steps to the beach. Jacqueline grabbed Ross's hand and they went inside...I decided to be a nice older brother and let them be alone. It was just me and Ryland.
"So, let's go get some girls!'' My little brother hollered.
I shrugged and said, "Alright, sounds good." We got directions on my phone and walked to a little town nearby.
Ryland spotted a group of girls and went in, "Hey ladies! I'm Ryland, but you can call me sexy." They all giggled...what a pimp. That's my bro! I was about to follow his lead when something caught my eye. I saw a girl sitting on a bench drinking a smoothie. Ooh...she was cute. Imma try to pick her up.
I slid down next to her on the bench and said, "How's it going? Rocky."
She looked up at me and said, "Rocky? That's an unusual name."
"Unusual bad or unusual good? Because that's not exactly what you hope to hear the first time you talk to someone."
She thought for a second then said, "I'll have to think about that."
Well this girl has got nerve. "What's your name then?"
"Rachel."
"Well, Rachel, how about I buy you a smoothie?"
She held up her cup, "I've already got one." I grabbed the cup out of her hand and dumped the content on the ground.
"Whoops." I said. "Looks like you need a new one." I flashed a smile to let her know I was playing with her. She looked down at her empty cup then back up at me.
"Looks like you're right." I grabbed her hand and pulled her down the street.
