These Boys

Ch.20- Beach Day

Meghan's POV•

I could tell something was wrong from the look on Shawn's face. I tapped Matt a few times next to me. "What's wrong with Shawn?" I whispered.

"Huh?" Matt snapped out of his own little world.

"I said what's wrong with Shawn." I repeated before looking back over to him. Matt followed my gaze before slightly frowning.

"Hey everything alright Shawn?" He asked him. Shawn looked up and froze before answering.

"Oh, uh yeah of course, all good, no problem. Why?" Shawn rushed through his words and I could tell he was lying.

"No reason, just wondering." Matt responded shrugging. I guess he decided to drop it.

For the first time, I decided to look at my surroundings in the limo. Blue crystal lighting lining the edges of practically anything and everything. A mini fridge most likely stocked up with soda. Leather seats along both sides of the limo facing each other. Last but not least, a mini revolving disco ball!

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have now arrived to your 'surprise' breakfast location. The current time as of now is 9:52am." James' voice filled the speakers.

"Woohoo!" The boys hooted as they rolled and jumped out of the limo. Looks like they get pretty excited over food.

Once we were all out, the security guards (Christian and Tony) escorted us into the restaurant. It turned out that the restaurant was an all-you-can-eat buffet.

'Way to go James!' I thought as I stared at the long line of steaming hot food calling my name.

Within minutes of arriving, dozens of screaming girls were standing outside of the building banging on the windows and shouting 'I love you!' thousands of times over and over.

The boys waved to them and smiled giddily as the fans snapped multiple pictures. Me and the other girls stood out of the way awkwardly, not sure if they wanted us in their pictures.

20 minutes passed and the girls were still screaming and crying of joy. 'How do the boys handle this? I'm tired just watching.' I thought to myself as I took a seat in a booth far from the windows.

"Sorry about that." Matt laughed as he slid into the booth next to me. Both of us had heaping piles of waffles.

"It's fine, really." I smiled at him before buttering up my food nice and good. The rest of the group sat down minutes later with overfilled plates.

If there's one thing you should know about us, it's that we eat like CRAZY. To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if my first word was 'food'!

After stuffing our faces we all made a quick stop in the bathroom before rushing back out into the limo. Taylor requested for James to take us back to the hotel.

The ride back went by fairly quickly and before I knew it, we were all gathered in the hallway dressed in bathing suits for a nice day out on the beach.

"Did you guys want to take the other elevator or.." I spoke up as we passed the broken one and operating one. Memories from the other night flooded through my mind as I clenched my fists tightly.

"It's ok babe." Matt assured me with a kiss on the forehead as he entangled our fingers together.

"Why not?" Shawn asked before pressing the button to go down.

The doors opened slowly but silently as we stood there in worrisome. One by one we walked into the elevator before the doors closed and made its way down to the lobby.

Every time we heard a sound or crank we tensed. Let's just say it wasn't such a fun ride. As soon as the doors opened everyone hurried out to catch their breath. We were ok.

"All good?" Katie asked after what felt like forever. We all responded in 'yeahs' before heading out the back.

The boardwalk that led to the beach was long but beautiful. It had a running stream under it with flowers I had never seen before. I was amazed by the comfort it brought so quickly. Before I knew it we were stepping off of the bronze wood onto the hot California sand.

"Race you to the water!" Katie exclaimed as she took off towards the ocean. We all followed her until we were right off the coast, the cold yet relaxing water creeping around our ankles.

"Let's find a spot to put our stuff." Carter announced as he fanned open his towel and placed it onto the sand. The rest of us followed until we had everything set up.

"Sunscreen anyone?" I asked as I pulled the yellow bottle out of my bag. We passed it around until everyone had some on their hands. The guys helped apply the girls' before we returned the favor.

"Vickey and Cameron are meeting us out here in 30 minutes." Shawn told us as we took slow strides toward the shore.

"Soooo are you enjoying yourself so far?" Matt smirked at me as he snaked his arms around my waist from behind, making my stomach jump through hoops.

I giggled at the thought that there was only two layers between him and I right now... 'OH MY GOSH! EWW MEGHAN STOP RIGHT THERE, NOW BACK IT UP. WHATS GOTTEN INTO YOU?' I thought to myself in a panic.

"You seem a little tense, anything I can do to help?" He whispered into my ear, his warm breath on my neck giving me goosebumps. Now he was just doing this on purpose. Not that I'm complaining...

"Maybe a little water will do the trick!" He immediately scooped me into his arms bridal style before running out into the water. I already knew what was coming.

"Matthew Espinosa don't even think about throwi-" Before I could finish my sentence, he tossed me high up into the air as I screamed and flailed my arms. I quickly held my breath as I was engulfed by the water. I swam back up to the surface and spit the water out of my mouth. "Matt!" I yelled, half mad and half laughing.

"Yes darling?" He stood there innocently acting as if he hadn't just thrown me into the water against my will.

"You little-" I rushed back over to him and shoved him jokingly until we both fell over onto the sand laughing uncontrollably.

I was currently laying on top of him with my hands resting on his chest. As we made eye contact our laughing slowed along with the world around me. Matt took his hand and placed it on the small of my back.

"Would it be wrong of me to kiss you right now?" He asked me just barely a whisper.

There it was again, the butterflies in my stomach. Matt was the only guy that had ever made me feel so special, like we were meant to be together.

"I don't see how it would be.." I trailed off as our eyes flickered back and forth to each others lips. I slowly leaned into Matt, my head slightly turned to the side to avoid bumping noses.

Our lips made contact and the sparks immediately went off. We kissed each other with such passion, showing how much we cared for each other. He tugged at my bottom lip, making the whole scene a whole lot hotter. We both smiled, foreheads resting on each others' as we searched for breath.

Before I knew it we were turned on our sides with my hands tugging at Matts hair and his hands scaling my back. I wanted him, hell I needed him. The thought made me kiss him harder as he returned the force. We pressed our bodies close together as we made out under the hot California sun, not a care in the world.

The others had just taken notice to us before hooting and hollering at Matt to "get it". "Matt responded with a simple 'fuck you' as he smiled and propped himself up on his elbows. I laughed, blushing as I sat up next to him. I tucked my hair behind my ears out of embarrassment as Matt reached for my hands to help me up.

"Oooh Meghan!" Jadyn squealed jumping up and down next to me. "Talk about a steamy session." She winked and bumped her hip into mine playfully.

Shawn's eyes lit up with excitement when he made eye contact with someone heading our way. "Well, well, well! Who do we have here?"
