~~~Saturday~~~

I got woken up by a dog licking my face. I opened one eye, then playfully pushed Chase away from me, then rolled over and pulled my blanket over my head.

I was about to fall back asleep when I heard my door open then shut, then felt my bed dip a few seconds later.

I laid there, waiting for whoever it was to say something. "Bentley?" They asked softly. I pulled the blanket off of my head and smiled when I saw Alex.

"Your hair!" He said when he noticed my hair cut. "Do you like it?" I asked as I ran my fingers through it, to make it less messy. "I love it." He smiled.

(I'm listening to Christmas music and it's August😂😂😂)

I smile and pull him closer to me, then lay down with my arms wrapped around him. "What do you want to do today?" I asked as he played with my hair.

"Wanna go to the beach with the girls?" He asked after a moment of silence. "Sure, that sounds fun." We laid there for a few more minutes, just enjoying each other's presence.

When we finally got I walked over to my closet and pulled out two pairs of swims trunks. Before I could ask him which one he wanted to wear, we walked past me and pulled out the most embarrassing thing that I have in my house.

"Why do you have a speedo?" He asked as he started laughing his butt off. I took it back from him and hid it under the rest of my swim suits. "My Grandma likes to buy us things that we don't need."

"Your grandma bought you a speedo!?" He yelled then threw himself onto my bed and started laughing uncontrollably.

"Yes, she doesn't know us. Sometimes it seems like she just finds ridiculous things and mails them to us." "Ahaha I can't oh my god!" He yelled as he grabbed his stomach.

"Knock it off!" I yelled as I hit him with a pillow. "I'm sorry but that is just too funny." He said as he started to calm down a little bit. "Whatever, I'm gonna go change."

Alex and I are currently laying on our towels, propped up on our elbows talking about randomness as we wait for the girls to arrive.

"I really want to be in a movie." I said as I laid down fully and starred at the sky through my sunglasses. "Maybe you can be, you should tell your parents." Alex said sitting up and reaching for the cooler to get a drink.

"Maybe." I sit up and a water bottle out of the cooler and pretty much just chugged it. It's just so hot and the cold water felt so good as it slid down my throat. "Geez boy slow it down." Alex teased. "Hush."

I see the girls walking towards us and I instantly want to cover Ellie up. Her bikini showed a little too much. "Ellie...Change." I said as they got up to us. "Why?" She whined. "Why? Because you are basically naked." I said giving her a look.

"Ugh fine." She stormed off to the bathrooms. Olivia set up her towel then sat down next to us. "I told her not to wear it..." She said as she put on some sunblock. "I just don't want her to get the wrong kind of attention." I said as I grabbed another water bottle and started to drink it.

Ellie eventually came back in a way more appropriate bikini. We sat and talked for awhile, until the girls decided that they just had to have a "best friend" picture.

They both  laid down on the sand and covered their faces while their legs were in the air crossed. I crouched down so I could get a good picture for them. I took the picture then gave Ellie her phone back.

"You really need to become a photographer dude." Ellie said as she looked at the picture with Olivia.
