NEW BOOBS

Hailee threw her duffel bag on the flower pattered duvet set that was neatly tucked into the queen sized bed. After a quick debate downstairs, it was decided that Gabe and Mikko would be in the room with the bunk beds, while Tyson would be sleeping in the same room on a blow up mattress. Erik would be on the pullout couch. Lucy and Beatrice would be sharing the master suit, while Hailee would have to share the guest room with Sidney. Great, Hailee thought, just to add to my dilemma.

It's not that Hailee disliked Sidney. She was actually the sweetest stranger Hailee had met in a really long time. It's the fact that Gabe had brought her. And that really shouldn't bother Hailee, but she couldn't let it not. It's Gabe.

"Hey you don't care what side of the bed you sleep on do you?" the brunette was pulled from her self pity by the soothing voice of her new bedmate. Sidney places her bag on the leather black chair by the dresser, keeping eye contact with Hailee as she did.

Hailee chuckled, "God no, take whatever side you want." Sidney smiles with her teeth, placing her phone on the left side of the bedside table. Hailee turned her face, frowning. Relax Hailee, stop being so insecure, there's nothing to be insecure about.

The shriek scream of Lucy was heard by both of the girls, and immediately Hailee poked her head out of the door. "We are all going swimming right now, let's go ladies!!"

Hailee observed Sidney pulling out a simple nude, what looked like to be a bikini. Sidney told the brunette she was going to quickly change and she'd meet her down at the lake.

Hailee was left alone once again. She bit her bottom lip, moving towards her bag to retrieve her swim suit. She hummed over the few she brought with her, soon deciding on the frilly pink bikini top and matching bottoms she bought from the mall. She quickly slipped it on, deciding to throw her hair in a low ponytail last minute and toss on a black coverup.

She bounded down the stairs and into the kitchen, were she was met face to back with Gabe. Upon hearing her soft footsteps coming down the stairs, Gabe turned his face towards her sending her a cheeky smile before returning to his task. Hailee returned it, immediately bee lining to the fridge to grab a water bottle before she would head outside.

"So..." Gabe started. He placed down the knife he was using to cut the watermelon and strawberries to grab the cartoon of blueberries and take them over to the sink. "You going to tell me the real reason you and that Jack guy broke up?"

She huffed, "James. And I did tell you the reason why we broke up, we fell-"

"Don't tell me you guys fell out of love. That's bullshit. I can tell." Gabe placed the freshly washed blueberries on the fruit tray he was preparing. "You're face says it all," he plucked a juicy piece of
watermelon into his awaiting mouth, "so what's up."

Hailee's shoulders dropped, "He told his entire baseball team how I was—" she stopped herself, "really personal stuff."

"I think I get it." He frowned, "That's tough Hails."

Don't call me that, she thought. With the nicknames come the feelings.

Gabe chuckled, grabbing the fruit tray proudly. "Okay enough of this sappy shit," Hailee rolled her eyes playfully at him, "let's get in the lake with the rest of the guys, Tyson said the water was amazing."

Gabe sent his sisters best friend a quick teeth smile and a wink, sliding the already ajar door open with his hip. And if Hailee has to press her water bottle to the back of her neck to calm herself down, well, that's her own problem.

•••

Hailee followed Gabe out of the kitchen into the back patio quickly, watching as he practically ran down to the water were his friends were swimming gleefully, jumping off the dock and into the, surprisingly clean, lake water. She sighed, grabbing a strawberry to snack on before she walked over to were the girls were sitting on the dock.

"Getting in?" Lucy asked, squinting up to her brunette friend.

Hailee shrugged. If I get in, all these amazingly good looking athletes are going to see you in your bathing suit. and so is Sidney. God, this is so stupid. "I mean the water looks lovely."

"Hey!" Erik shouted from the water, "You guys getting in or what?"

Sidney shrugged, slipping into the water gracefully, making her way over to the boys. Lucy following soon after. Beatrice stood up, bouncing her white bikini bottom clad hip off of Hailee's. "You good Hails?"

"Yeah," she smiled, "Let's get in yeah?"

Hailee pulled her cover up off, tossing it down on the wood she stood on. She grabbed Beatrice's hand, both of them running on the dock, and jumping into the water.

The both rose to the surface, their hands now disconnected. Hailee wipes her face clear of water, spiking her hair back with the water. Gabe smirked at her, "When'd you get the boobs?"

are you literally trying to kill me?

"Gabe!" Beatrice shrieks.
