"No way." Kailyn shoved popcorn into her mouth.

"Yes. Very way." Riley nodded.

"I can't believe it!" Kailyn gasped, shaking her head.

"Thanks for believing in me." Riley said sarcastically.

"It's just not every day a girl starts a thing with Alex Gaskarth of All Time Low. Where do you guys stand?"

"Well... seeing as we haven't even had our first date yet... I'd like to say.... I have no idea."

"When is he going to take you out?"

"I think tomorrow." Riley beamed.

"Can I tell you something? Promise you won't tell Jake?" Kailyn asked, nervously.

"Yeah, what is it?"

"I... hooked up with Jack."

"NO WAY." Riley gasped.

"Yeah, well I was drunk. I barely remember it."

"You're fighting a smile." Riley giggled at her best friend.

"Shut up." Kailyn laughed.

"You like Jack, or was it a onetime thing?" Riley asked, seriously.

"I don't know. I mean, I think." She thought for a minute. "I just... It's... complicated."

"No, it's not." Riley scoffed.

"Yes it is. I have a boyfriend." Kailyn defended.

"A douche of a boyfriend."

"What am I supposed to do?"

"Dump Jake and then get with Jack. Good plan? I thought so."

"I don't know. I want to be sure that I really want to be with Jack."

"There's no better way then hanging out with him."

"Well... I did get his number..." Kailyn trailed off.

"Then text him!" Riley said, excited.

"Riley I don't know if that's a good idea." Kailyn whinned.

"Kailyn... you need to take a chance."

"Oh my gosh!" Riley laughed excited as another wave crashed into her and Alex.

"Calm down, Riley." Alex chuckled. "You act like you've never been to the beach here."

"Well I have. With Kailyn, but the waves were never this bad." Riley explained.

"It's California. What do you expect?"He smiled, whipping the wet hair out of Riley's face.

"Less salt water in my eyes." She told him, and rubbed her eyes in an attempt to get the stinging water out.

Just then another wave crashed almost right on top of Riley, splashing water all over her bikini clad body. Alex laughed when Riley let out a high pitch squeal when the cold water hit her. She stared at him, somewhat annoyed.

"What?" She glared at his smitten smile, now spreading across his face.

"You. I just like you." He sighed.

"I just like you too." She felt his lips touch hers quickly, but they fit perfectly together.

"I um... don't usually do this." Alex told.

"Do what?"

"Put myself out there. Some would call me... a jerk."

"People like Jack?" Riley joked.

"I guess. I'm just not a romantic guy. I need you to know that and not put a lot of pressure on me."

"I get that." Riley nodded, not completely satisfied.

"Good." Alex smirked. "Now do you want to walk down the boardwalk and get some icecream?"

"Sounds good." Riley smiled.
