Beach, Boys, Love, and Drama

Chapter 7

 The moon was shinning brightly reflecting off the water. I wiggled my toes in the cool sand, watching the waves.

"It's beautiful isn't it," Cayden suddenly appeared beside me.

"It really is," I responded closing my eyes and breathing in the salty air.

"There's something else out here that is beautiful," He turned me towards him and lifted my chin up.

I could feel my heart beating wildly in my chest threatening to break out, "What’s that?"

He leaned down and my breath hitched when his lips barely touched mine, "You," he whispered against my lips.

Then he kissed me softly. The feel of his soft lips felt wonderful against my own. I could feel the fireworks going off in my head. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his around my waist pulling me closer to him. He started kissing me harder more passionately, his tongue on my lip asking for permission. I opened my mouth, but before I could feel his tongue against mine the dream switched.

Now I was looking at a cow in the pool.

I woke up with something warm behind me, and there was something wrapped around me trapping me to that warmth. It felt good so I snuggled back into it.

"Well, well. Good morning to you too," the warmth responded sounding suspiciously like Cayden.

I jumped and looked behind me. There was a shirtless Cayden smirking at me with his arm still loosely around my waist. My heart sped up being so close to a half naked Cayden.

What happened last night? I remember watching another movie with him because everyone else fell asleep. I definitely do not remember cuddling up to him. I look around and realize that we aren't on the couch but in my bed. Oh my gosh please let me still be dressed, please!

I lift the sheet and sigh with relief. Still clothed. Why are we in bed though I remember we were on the couch?

"I carried you in here last night when the movie was over," he told me seeing the confused expression on my face.

Well that was sweet, but why is he in here too. Which reminds me, his arm is still around me! It feels natural to be in his arms, but I get out of them and the bed.

"Thanks," I said blushing. He was lying on the bed pouting now. He looked so hot laying there shirtless, bed hair, and the sheet at his waist. He also looked like a little kid though with the pouting. I couldn't help but smile at him.

He smiled back, "You’re welcome beautiful."

I blushed even more, "We should probably get dressed."

"You're right. Everyone else is probably up and dressed," he got out of the bed yawned and stretched.

I about drooled, he looked so yummy. Wait what am I thinking? No bad Max! No guys remember. They only hurt you. He isn't any better, all guys are the same. If they find another girl they leave or cheat and don't care about you or your feelings anymore. He is so hot though. It's not a crime to look, I just won't do anything. Even though I remember almost kissing him last night in the hot tub.

He walked over to me and kissed my forehead, "See you in a bit princess," he walked to the door and left.

I stood in shock for awhile just from that small kiss. It wasn't even on my lips and my stomach feels like its being attacked by butterflies!

After I got over my shock I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and fix my hair, the normal morning routine. When I got done I walked over to my closet to pick out what to wear. I finally settled on a pair of denim shorts and a green tank top with my swim suit underneath. I put on a pair of matching green flip flops and walked into the kitchen. Cayden was right everyone was already over here. The guys were in the living room watching TV, and all the girls were in the kitchen cooking. I started helping the girls make pancakes, bacon, and eggs. It didn't take us long to make everything, so soon we were done eating and ready for another day of sun. Nobody said anything about me and Cayden sleeping together last night, but the girls did give me looks that said, "We are going to talk about this later." Cayden did get teased a few times while we ate though. Nate told him that it wasn’t nice to flip off old ladies no matter how much you are attracted to them. Nate now has a huge bruise on his arm.

"Let's go to the pool first!" Cayden said jumping up and down like a little kid. Why did I dream about kissing him again?

We all headed over to the pool and the guys hurried and jumped in the water splashing everybody and everything. They got a few nasty look from some people with little kids. What can you say? Boys will be boys.

I took off my tank and shorts and laid my towel down on one of the chairs while the girls did the same. We laid back and soaked up the sun working on our tans. It felt so good the sun warming my skin.

Splash

"AHHHH!" I screamed as freezing cold water splashed all over me leaving me and my towel soaking wet.

"Hahaha!" Cayden had one hand pointing at me and the other holding his toned stomach laughing. I scowled at him, but he just continued laughing at me.

"What the heck was that for!?" I yelled at him.

He just smirked at me and then grabbed me bridle style before I could do anything. He carried me to the pool kicking and screaming. He just laughed at my failed attempts to get him to put me down and tossed me into the pool.

The cold water rushed up around me as soon as my feet touched the bottom of the pool I kicked up to the surface and started sputtering from the water that got in my mouth.

"You jerk!" I grabbed his legs while he was laughing at me and pulled him in enjoying the shocked expression on his face.

I jumped on his back before he could surface trying to keep him under, but he lifted me out of the water and tossed me back into the water. I screamed and laughed as I was flying through the air.

When I surfaced I saw that Nate, Jamie, and Will had followed Cayden's lead and grabbed the girls tossing them in too. They squealed and laughed just like I had. After we played around for a bit dunking, splashing, and goofing off having fun, I decided to go to the lazy river. I grabbed a tube float and climbed in and closed my eyes as I floated. Someone grabbed onto the handle of my float, so I opened my eyes and looked over and saw Cayden in a float. He had his eyes closed and his hand keeping our floats side by side. I smiled and closed my eyes again.

Maybe he isn't as annoying as I thought.
