Nate's P.O.V
I opened the door to Gabby and Jacob and immediately turned around. Jacob was staring right at Serena's ass. Her ass is mine. Well not yet but ya know what I mean.

"Would you kindly put me down, Nathan?" She asked me.

"Oh um yeah. Sorry." I said awkwardly. It wasn't awkward for us. It was awkward for them cause they had to see that. I put her down gently and she put her elbow on my shoulder and smiled widely, pretending like nothing happened.

"What's up, buttercup?" She said to Gabby. Gabby laughed and walked in with Jacob. I bro hugged Jacob and let the girls walk in front of us.

As soon as we got outside, the girls immediately jumped in the pool. I sat down on a pool chair and Jacob sat in the other. We started talking about random stuff: life, jobs, parties, etc.

But then he said something random,
"You really like her, don't you?"

"Who?" I asked.

"Boi don't play dumb with me. I know you like Serena." He stated.'

"Ok maybe a little but she's way out of my league." I explained to him while he stared at me with a stupid look on his face.

"Bro are you dumb? It's so obvious that she likes you too. You guys have been best friends forever. I wouldn't be surprised if she likes you back." He exclaimed.

"Eh whatever man. I don't really care." Biggest fucking lie I have ever told in my entire life. OF COURSE I CARE. I fucking love her. But I don't think she'll ever know unless I tell her.

Serena's P.O.V
Jacob and Nate keep staring at Gabby and I as we're talking at the edge of the pool. Wonder what they're thinking about. Gabby snapped me out of my thoughts when she clapped in my face.

"Serena?! Are you okay?" She asked me, concern laced in her voice."

"Yeah I'm fine. But have you noticed that Jacob and Nate keep looking over at us?" I say turning back to her.

"Yeah it's cause Nate likes you." She explained.

"Mhm. Ok. That's a lie." I defended.

"Bitch, stop being so in denial. It's so obvious. The way he looks at you, the way he treats you, his nicknames for you. You guys have been best friends forever. I wouldn't be surprised if he liked you." She exclaimed.

I thought about it for a minute. Could Nate Maloley, my best friend for life, my ride or die, possibly have a crush on me? Wow. I took that as a surprise but quickly got snapped out of my trance as I felt cold water splash me from behind. Nate and Jacob had come into the pool and started splashing me and Gabby.

"It's on!" I screamed across the pool as we continuously splashed each other. Ahh, good times.
