Who's In?

Tyler's POV

This was finally going to happen with Natalia. She was reacting to all my words, smiles and touches. Finally something good and real could be mine, I've wanted her for so long.

Most girls threw themselves at me but they weren't my type. I wanted the real thing. My Mum always told me if you aim for the sky you may catch a star but if you aim for the ground you may just step in crap. She was a realist and I totally loved her for that.

We were waiting for Jimmy and Sam to come back from their dare. He was no doubt trying everything to get into Sam's pants. She was pretty cool and smart so she'd know how to handle him if things got awkward.

Some of our group had used this time to get a refill or as a toilet stop so right now it was just Natalia and I sitting together on the beach.

Natalia turned to me. "Tyler, have you had many girlfriends?"

"No. I've just gone on a few dates here or there but they've asked me out. There's only been one girl I've been interested in for a while now." I gave her my biggest Colgate smile.

She smiled back. "Who?" Her eyebrow was slightly raised.

"Hmmmm." Well if she wanted to play dumb I wasn't gunna make things too easy.

"Who is your crush?" She timidly asked.

"Oh, a girl in our year. She's really pretty." I pretended not to be interested.

"Oh, so it's only looks that attract you to a person?" She pouted looking a little disappointed at my response.

"Well you see, the first time I saw this girl it was the first day of high school and yes her looks were definitely what caught my attention. But then I started seeing more of her and then I started noticing things about her. Then we talked here or there and I thought she was a really nice girl. But what won me over was during the end of school concert she performed a dance solo." Instantly she smiled it sent goosebumps down my entire body as she began making little circles up and down my arm.

"Continue."

"Honestly, there's not one thing I don't like about you Natalia. I just can't shake you from my head. You're everywhere and over these past few weeks it's driven me crazy not seeing you. Is there any way we could make this work out. Me and you?" I pointed to us back and forth.

Natalia was blushing but still wearing that goofy smile which I adored, because I know I put it on her beautiful face.

"I'd really like to try. But you need to understand my schedule is a little crazy. I'm not sure how to start this or make this happen. My mother has me dancing everyday except for Wednesdays and that's reserved for tutoring. So I don't get social time. This years going to be huge with year 12 finals and then I'm going to Europe and The US for 3 months as part of a dance troupe."

"Wow!" That schedule was so intense. "You won't believe this but I was going to travel at the end of the year. So maybe, we can get this to work. Could you see yourself with a guy like me?" I just had to know and put it out there.

"Tyler, you're beautiful inside and out, who wouldn't want to be in my position right now I feel like someone's playing a joke on me honestly, I really want this to but...."

I kissed her on the lips and she eagerly responded. I had no idea what sort of experience she had with males so I knew to start slow. After a minute or so I hadn't realised that Hunter was laying close beside us and Matt and Abby were walking back towards us. So I broke off the kiss.

"Listen, if we want it, we will make it happen. Even if I come over after dance or drop you there and pick you up. 30 minutes is all I'm asking for every couple of days and we'll make it work." I whispered in her ear.

Her smile was so amazing it could light up this entire beach.

"Just take a chance on me, you won't regret a thing." I kissed her forehead. She nodded and kissed my cheek.

Jimmy and Sam were returning back to the group.

"Ohhh" there was excitement as they approached.

"Finally! Sit you're arses down. You're up Jimmy." Matt shook his head.

Jimmy casually sat down and spun the bottle. It was a huge toss and was spinning around until it stopped on .....
