Hey guys! Sorry it took so long. I've been sooo busy.
*Saturday*
I walk outside with my bikini on but I put shorts on over the bottom with the zipper unzipped to show it. I walked across the beach with my chucks on. I kinda hate that we're leaving tomorrow because this is the best part I'll miss about the trip.
Lexi came beside me. "Isn't it beautiful?"
I smile at the view. "Yeah girl."
"Just...perfecto," we said at the same time.
"Can definitely find love here," she looks at me and smile, "even you."
I shake my head. "Lexi, I'm done with love. After what happened-"
"With that guy in middle school?"
I nod. "And even though it's been almost 4 years, I can't remember his face. I probably wouldn't even know who he was if I saw him." I looked down and smile at the good times we had.
"But I bet I'll remember if we ever kissed again."
Lexi slowly looks up at the ocean, then at me smiling. I look at her because she was just staring at me smiling. I know that look.
"What? You know something, Lexi."
"Yeah, and you'll figure out soon enough too." She walked away.
"Lexi!" I called out, "Lexi, I hate when you do that! You know I'm always curious!"
She started walking backwards and looked at me. "I know, that's why I love doing it!"
I stomp my feet and cross my arms and looked back at the ocean. What is she talking about?
*10 minutes later*
I finally got on the top of the rock. It's not that high. I get at the tip and look down. It's not that low either. I shake it off. I turn around like a ballerina on her tippy toes. I look down.
"Ooh, a seashell." I bend down to pick it up. I stand back up and I felt like I was losing my balance. I started paddling my arms to keep it. While I heard my twin sisters screaming my name, I fall in the water while screaming. I inhaled a bunch of water and was choking. And everything went black while I was underwater.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was unconscious but I could hear voices. But I couldn't put them together. They were faint. And I could feel lips on mine. Why did they feel so familiar? My whole came in sync after a while. I opened my eyes and spit out water. I kept inhaling and exhaling.
"Rocky," everyone yelled.
My mother came kneeling down and choking the hell out of me.
"My baby! Raquel, don't scare all of us like that anymore!"
"Mom, if your choking me to death, I'm gonna pass out again," I croaked.
She lets go and placed her hand on her chest. "I'm sorry. I happy you're ok."
Everyone helped me off of the sand. I rubbed through my wet hair. "I'm fine, I'm fine. When I was out could, I felt lips."
"Chris gave you CPR," Lexi said.
I looked at Chris. He looked at me. Those eyes, the way his lips felt on mine.
"I'm glad you're ok too," he said.
DeJa Vu.
I put a finger on my lips and felt them. My knees buckled and tears were coming. "Chris."
I ran to the beach house. I heard Lexi and Chris call my name. But I didn't care.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I heard someone bang on the door. "Rocky, open up. It's Lexi."
I get up and sniff as I open the door.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because I wanted you to find out yourself. It's better to find out that way. To surprise you."
"Well do you remember my 15th birthday? Yeah, you guys scared me half to death with that surprise party jumping out if nowhere when I cut the lights on. And guess who got punched in the face? My dad. So yeah, I'm not good with surprises."
She sighs. "Go talk to him. He doesn't know yet. He's outside on the beach."
"I don't wanna talk to him."
"At least tell him," she says pouting.
I sigh. "Fine, I'll go." I walk past her and walk outside. I see him. I walk to the beach and swim in the water. I swim up to him and gave him the biggest water splash in history. All the water poured down on him. He turned around in the water and slit water out with his mouth wide open. I looked at Lexi and she shook her head smiling. I hunched my shoulders.
"What the hell was that for?!"
"You!" I yelled whipping my head back at him.
"What?!"
"You don't remember me, do you?! After everything we had. Everything we did! Middle school. Raquel Gonzolez. Been together through all of junior high."
It looked like a light bulb popped up in his head because his whole expression changed. "Rocky....I'm so sorry..."
"You should be."
"I didn't mean to hurt you."
I splashed water in his face again. "Well you did! You left me for popularity! As soon as we hit freshman year, you changed....and so did I."
"But I changed the most. I'm sorry, Rocky. I really am."
I looked at his apology look and I nodded.
"Apology accepted." I splashed water in his face one more time.
He wiped off his face. "And what was that for," he said in a confusing tone.
"For being am asshole for all these years." I swam up to him and kissed him on the cheek.
He smiled a little. "And what was that for?"
"For saving my life," I smiled back. We looked at each other for a minute. We got a little closer and then-
"Chris!" Lexi called out while on the beach with her hands cupping her mouth. "Your girlfriend Kyra wants you on the phone! Don't let her get slapped through the phone with that attitude!"
I snickered at the thought. I cleared my throat as he looked at me. It was a look like he wanted something so badly. He....wanted to kiss me? He swam back to shore. I pout and hold my nose as I go underwater.
