Heartbreaker

Chapter 9

"You wanna' stay for a while?" Rocky asked Emily as they pulled into the driveway. 

"Sure," she smiled. 

"Ooooh you got your girl over and everything." Ellington joked. 

"I wanna' jump into the pool right now," Ross said. 

"Let's go! Let me get on my swim trunks," Riker said running to his room. 

"Yeahhhhh!" Ross yelled as he ran to get his own trunks on. 

"You can borrow one of Rydel's swim suits," Rocky told Emily as he went to get his trunks on. 

"You can pick which one you want," Rydel said as she lead Emily into her room. 

Rydel laid out a pile of swimsuits across her bed. 

"You have such cute clothes!" Emily said eyeing the colorful swimwear. 

"Awww thanks! My mom picks out most of it." 

"So which one do you wanna' borrow?" Rydel asked her. 

"Uhhh...I like this one," Emily replied as she pointed out a green bikini with white polkadots. 

"That one'll look really cute on you. Now go try it on!" 

"Okay, okay," Emily laughed, picking up the swimsuit and running to the bathroom. 

"It looks so cute on you!" Rydel exclaimed as Emily exited the bathroom. 

"Really?" Emily asked looking down at the bathing suit. "I think it'd look better on you." 

"Oh whatever," Rydel smiled. "Let me go get mine on." Rydel grabbed a yellow and white polkadot 2 piece and rushed to the bathroom. 

"Do you wanna' borrow some shorts to put over your swimsuit?" Rydel asked her. 

"Uh, yes please." 

"Here you go," Rydel said as she handed them over. 

"Thanks," Emily smiled as she threw them on along with her t-shirt. 

The boys sat on the couch in their muslce shirts, swim trunks, and shades waiting for the girls. 

"Why don't we just go to the beach?" Ross suggested. 

"Good idea!" Riker said. 

"We're going to the beach!" Rocky yelled towards the girls as they walked out of Rydel's room. 

"Awesome!" Rydel yelled. 

They loaded up the car with towels, footballs, surfboards, food, etc., then they made their way to the beach. 

Emily stood by Rocky the whole time, still feeling a little shy around his siblings. They found a spot on the beach and laid down some towels. 

"Well what are we waiting for!" Ross yelled. He ripped off his shirt, then ran out into the water with his surfboard. The rest of the boys joined him, and Rydel and Emily were left along. 

"Wanna' play some volleyball?" Rydel asked her. 

"Sure!" Emily replied. 

They had fun playing one on one until the boys cam back. She couldn't help but stare at their shirtless bodies, but she especially kept an eye on Rocky. His hair was pushed back, and drops of water fell from it. He smiled at Emily right away as he ran onto shore with the boys. 

"Did you miss me?" he whispered into her ear. 

"Hardly," she laughed. 

"Come on, you haven't jumped into the water yet," Rocky insisted.
