After the boy's rehearsal yesterday Brandon drove me straight to his parents house and the  went to the PRETTYMUCH house. I fell asleep as soon as I laid on the bed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today Jess woke me up by screaming at me and jumping on my bed, which really wasn't necessary because I'm a really light sleeper. I looked at my phone to see what time it was and couldn't believe that crazy girl was actually waking me up before 9am. I mean, I don't mind getting up early, I actually like it, otherwise I feel like I lost my whole day, but had she forgotten about the whole jet lag thing? And what the hell was she doing up before 10am? I have never seen her waking up this early by her own choice.
Since she was still screaming and jumping (and I supposed it wouldn't stop til I was up), I sat on the edge of the bed and asked her what was wrong. She answered:
- Wrong? Sweetie, there's nothing wrong! We're just going to the beach!
- What? Jess, you did not woke me up for this, right? You know how much I hate the beach. There's sand everywhere and it sticks to you! It's not normal that after one week you can still find sand on your body! Plus, there's the sea that everytime I enter gives me a sore throat and only God knows why! By the way, you're forgetting I still CAN NOT swim! There's only one more detail: I am on jet lag so I'm exhausted!
- Jesus, (Y/N), there's no need to be so grumpy... Oh let's go, pleaseee! All the boys are coming, even Austin! Do it for me, ple...
- Fine!!! -I interrupted her- I'll go, just get out of my room so I can get ready.
I walked in the bathroom, but not without looking back and seeing her smiling and clapping her hands on the way out of the room. It is only my second day in LA and I'm already tired of her. Don't get me wrong, I love her with all my heart and she means the world to me, but it annoys me how annoying she can get over something she really wants. I always loose this kind of discussion because she can be on it forever and I just hate arguments. Plus, maybe it isn't going to suck, after all, all the boys are going...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was wearing no make up, a blue short and a t-shirt that could fit two of me in it. I let my hair down and with it's natural little curls in the end. I opened the door of my room only to see Jess excitement all over the place. There were swimsuits everywhere, pairs of sandals that did not match on the floor and bags of multiple colors all over the chouch. Seriously I know Jess and this is not that common. I mean, she is full of energy and excitement all the time (sometimes it actually bothers), but this is a whole new level. I went to the kitchen to have breakfast and found her loading her bag with cookies and fruits. Guys, she was with way to much food on her hands and Jess only eats like that when she's nervous. I had to see what was going on.
- Ok, Jess spill it out - I said while putting a spoon of cereal on my mouth.
- Spill what out? Everything is okay. - I knew her since we were practically babies so I was always able to catch her lies and she knew that. So I just stared at her like "seriously, are you gonna try lying to me?". She left the air she was holding in, out, and I could see her shoulders relaxing. She just took the seat next to me and said:
- I'll tell you but you can not tell anyone, seriously, not even Brandon! Actually, mostly Brandon!
- Fine, I won't tell.
- I may have a crush on one of the boys...
- WHAT? And you're just telling me this now because???
- I don't know, I guess it's because if I told you, it would get real and it can't be real, because Brandon would never allow it...
- First of all, who is it? Second, you should see if the boy feels the same way and then worry about Brandon.
- Nick...
I was shocked. He did not seem to be the type of boy that Jess usually goes out with. But I
didn't said a word, because she needed someone to hear her, she obviously was holding that back for a while. She kept talking about Nick til her phone rang. It was B asking where we were. Jess said he sounded mad for us being that late so she got her car keys, I got my guitar and we went as fast as possible to the car.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we arrived at the beach we had a little trouble finding the boys but nothing a phone call didn't solve. After we met them, Jess and I stretched our beach towels on the sand between Nick and Austin (coincidence?), Brandon was behind me, Ed and Zion were next to Austin.
We did a lot of small talk, laughed a lot and took way too many selfies (without posting them, of course, we didn't want to make the beanz go crazy). We decided to sing a few songs (maybe more than a few) but it was not a big deal until I notice something. I may have saw what I wanted to see, but for one second I thought that Austin was singing "Then there's you" by Charlie Puth, to me:

"Some girls walk in the room and everything remains
But when you opened up the door
My life completely changed
Some girls be craving that attention to be seen
But the one I'm looking at is right in front of me

There's no words to express
When you're wearing that dress that way
There's no words to describe
Let me look in your eyes and say

There's beautiful and then there's you"

I don't know how to explain, but the way the others were singing was totally different from Austin and I. I guess it became notable after this Charlie song because when it ended everybody was just staring at us. That was the moment I realized that we haven't looked away from each other during the whole song and that by the end of it only A and I were singing.
After a few seconds, Austin put my guitar on his beach towel and said he was going for a swim. I knew he wanted me to follow him by the way he stared while standing up, so I gathered all of my strengths and went after him. While walking in the ocean's direction I could feel the eyes of my amazing friends (sarcasm obviously) all over me, it was clear they were as tense as I was, which only helped to make me more nervous.
As soon as my toes touched the water, I looked at Austin. He was shirtless, with his back to the sand, with the water covering his body til his shoulders, he was clearly lost in his thoughts and that was such a beautiful scene. He doesn't know how gorgeous he really is. I started to (try) to swim to him, but I couldn't go too deep or I might drown, so I called his name to make him turn to me. I did a sign for him to come over and he swam to where I was in a second. We stayed like that, facing each others face for over a minute. I paid attention to every little detail, from his hair length to the little curve that his lips have on the top. I was so involved in that moment that I couldn't help but asking:
- Is it desire or is it love that I'm feeling for you?
- I have no idea what this is, but I'm so ready to discover.
And just like that he pulled me into a passionate kiss. You know when the connection with the person you are with is so strong that you feel butterflies on your stomach, see fireworks and taste a mix of flavors that you just can't figure it out which one is your favorite? It was just like that. One of his hands was on my waist, glueing my body to his, while the other hand was alternating between being gently on the back of my neck and running the fingers through my hair. And during all this, all I could think was it definitely wasn't only desire...
