After struggling to eat those burnt pancakes, David invited us to the beach but my mom opted out. I was glad.

He told us we'll meet Brad over there with some other friends and we agreed. He also mentioned that we might see his ex. It was okay. I wasn't sure that I was ready to see Brad after that deep kiss.

Another reason why I didn't want to go on with David was because I had kissed Brad already. Come on I'm not a slut or something that will be playing four friends.

Finally, we hugged my mom goodbye and entered his car. He drove us to the beach with music playing so we were just dancing and having fun. I gave out my red bikini to Janie and I wore my black. So we just changed into the bikinis in the car.

We got out and walked to where the others were. I first spotted Selena, David's ex, and I patted his back. We were like eight before I then saw Brad coming out of the water. He was so cute. Janie hit me.

"That should be Brad. The lips." Yeah those lips were quite obvious.

I nodded as our eyes were now fixed on eachother's. He walked up to us and David left us to meet Selena. He hugged Janie first. I think to be nice.
"I'm David."
"Janie." Her eyes were on his lips which was funny. I giggled a little.
"Uhm I'll just go mingle with the rest." She said giving us some privacy. Janie was very friendly so I had no worries. She'd be fine.

"Oh sure." I said.

She left and then he hugged me again. My body touching his wet bare skin. He shifted the strand of hair on my face behind my ear.
"Hey." He had this cool smile on his face.

"Hi."

"I'm sorry I couldn't keep in touch. I really need your number. You really got me disturbed."
"Oh it's been just one day and two nights."

"Are you serious? That was like a year."

I giggled. "Really?"

"Like fucking ages. And....and that night you didn't come back. I searched for you but didn't see you."
"Oh I left." He frowned then looked at my body.

"And this bikini is really sexy yeah?"

I blushed and looked at the water. I quickly imagined us making love in the water. "Yeah."

"Why did you leave?" He was more serious.

My body needed the water. Thank God he wasn't interrupting like before.
"I left because my driver...."

"Your driver?" He laughed.

"Wha...."

"What happened to uber or other transport services?" He had started with the interrupting game.

"Well it's only when I'm going out late at...."
"Come on you guys should employ me." He laughed again.

"Moron... Let's go into..."

"The water." Okay this cutting in wasn't funny anymore so I put my finger on his lips to silent him.
"Don't interrupt me again." I smiled and he chuckled. He turned and started walking away then he turned back and ran towards me carrying me like a baby.

I laughed. "You're really dramatic you know?"
He smiled and walked to the water. "Drama is my drive."

"You had to walk away then run then fuckkk."
I laughed and he pecked me on my lips. "I'm gonna jump now. Just so you know."

"What? Wait....." he ran into the water and jumped with me making us sink. Brad was really dramatic. I choked in the water and put my head out of the water. Coughing it out. As I just got relieved, he dragged me with my legs into the water and I yelped.

We ducked our heads out together and he was laughing while I was having gag reflexes. He then moved closer to me.
"Sorry. I would have gone easier with you."

I rolled my eyes and then regained myself. "Okay you almost killed me just now."

He had a look which was obvious that he was hiding his laughter.
"I apologized."

"Fuck apology." Trevor. That reminded me of Trevor.

"Ouuu." I chuckled and he let out the laugh he's been holding. He cupped my face with his hands and locked his lips with mine in the whole public. In the daylight. No more hiding for me. He removed his lips and whispered with our eyes closed.
"Damn you're really beautiful." I opened my eyes and he was staring at me. His eyes were dark and he was serious. I put my hands on his shoulder and his on my waist and I kissed his lips and then he drew away. I was confused.
"I want to date you Pearly."

I blushed. Now he's literally asking me out. Jackson would die. I bit my lower lip with my voice low.
"I would have said yes but.." he frowned.

"But what?"

"You almost killed me so I'll have to think about it." He laughed. "Really?"

"Yep!"

"Guys!" David shouted drawing our attention. He was shirtless now. He had his hand on Selena's waist so I assumed they had reconciled. "Stop that romantic shit. It's time for us to share the little snacks."

"Give us five." Brad shouted back and looked at me.
"Seconds." I shouted back and Brad smiled.

"You're starving?"
"Ate burnt pancakes."
"Okay we've got to hurry. One last kiss."
"We're not dating yet duhhh."
I said and started walking away but he grabbed me on my waist and kissed my neck. I giggled.
"You're not nice."

"Should I carry you to the mat? Eyy I'm your servant now."

I chuckled and walked to the mat myself. He took like three minutes before he joined us on the mat.

I sat in between Brad and Janie. Janie had made a new friend who was keeping her company. I was given my own share of the snacks and I pounced on it. We were all discussing and then Trevor's party came up.
"So he even throws parties." I didn't realize that I said this out loud.
"Huh?" Brad asked. Oh my, I said it out loud.

"I'm surprised that he throws parties."

"It's his birthday."

I was shocked. "Woahhhh. It's Trevor's birthday?"
"Yeah." Selena replied me. She was resting on her boyfriend.

But I met this dude last night and he said nothing about this to me.

"You're invited." David said and added quickly. "You too." He referree to Janie.

"I'll be there with my boyfriend." She said:

"It's fine. He wanted it calm though."

"Kelvin will totally behave himself."

I was just quiet. He didn't say anything like this to me. Maybe he didn't want me there. That's why he didn't mention it. I shouldn't even go. Screw this. I'm not going anywhere.
