(A/N:  Thanks again for the reads, comments, and votes!! I love hearing from you. : ) I’m going to try and do multiple POV’s this chapter.  Key word – try… ;) Enjoy!)

(Scott’s POV)

I am enjoying the sun so much.  I don’t tan that much, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t love the sun.  I look over and see Mitch humming to the music in his earbuds.  I reach over and pull one out and say, “Whatcha listening too?”

“Who else, Beyonce!” he sings.

“I want to listen!” I say as I lean over and put the earbud in my ear.  We lay side by side both humming and singing.  We move our hands in the air to the beat of the music.  I sit up and pull the other earbud out of Mitch’s ear and say, “Listen, we need to talk.”

Mitch sits up quickly, concerned, and says, “Okay.”

I nod my head over in the direction of Avi and Kirstie who was walking hand in hand now.  I look at Mitch and smile and say, “I think that it’s going to happen finally.” 

Mitch looks behind him and then turns with a huge grin and says, “Yes, it’s about time.  I love those two.  They would be so perfect for each other!”

“I agree, they are so sweet, so caring, so everything.  They deserve each other.  I hope it works for them.” I say.

“Scott, oh no, your shoulders, they are getting red.” Mitch says reaching over lightly touching them.

I winch and say, “Well, don’t touch them.”

“I’ve got some aloe at the house, let’s go.  You need to get out of the sun, boyfriend.” Mitch insists.  Mitch stands up and tries to pull me up from a sitting position.  I laugh and get up and say, “Okay, I got it,” and I stand up.  I take out my phone and text Avi to let them know that we are heading in.  I think to myself, great, this will give them some time alone.  Mitch loops his arm in mine and we head back towards the house. 

Mitch brings me right into the bathroom and sits me down on a chair and gets the aloe.  He lightly puts some on his fingertips and touches my shoulders gently.  He takes such care of me, it’s really rather sweet.  He steps back and asks, “How’s that?”

“Much better,” I say and stand up and look in the mirror.  My shoulders are a little red, but, not too bad.  They will much better in the morning.  No more sun today.  I turn back to Mitch and say, “Thank you sweetie, for doing that.”

Mitch looks at me with a smirk and says, “Anytime, baby.”

We laugh because only the two of us could talk to each other this way and completely understand our friendship.

“Let’s see what they have in the kitchen, I’m starving.” I say.

Mitch laughs and says, “You are always starving.”

We walk over to the kitchen and I open the fridge as Mitch opens the pantry.  “Wow, they weren’t kidding about being fully stocked.  I think we could easily live off this food forever!” I say as I close the fridge. 

“Same over here, we are fully stocked.  How’s the wine supply?” Mitch asks.

“I think the fridge over there by you is the one for beverages.”  I say pointing.

Mitch opens the door and squeals, “Oh my gosh!” He stands to the side and waves an arm like it’s a prize.  “Fully stocked fridge of beverages, check!”

“Alright!” I say walking over leaning over him.  I grab a water bottle and go sit down in the living room. 

Mitch grabs a water bottle also and heads into the living room.  I turn on the TV to see what’s on.
