We all eventually went to bed, Joey got awkward after I woke up. I told Quinton I wasn't up when he asked me how much I heard, which I think Joey calmed down.

We were all heading to the beach for the day. I looked up the beach we were going to and it was beautiful, they had so much to do there as well. I would live here if I could.

"Kayla did you bring your all yellow swim suit?" I nod, Sophia and I had matching ones that we got from a while ago.

We kicked the boys out as they were hanging out with us this morning and we did not feel like changing in front of them or around them.

"You know I did hear the convo last night" I said, I slip my bottoms on as Sophia did the same.

"I figured. I won't tell Joey, he would freak himself out" we laugh and finished changing. We head out into the hallway seeing all of our moms waiting for all of us.

"My beautiful girls, good morning!" I smile at Lina and lean against the wall waiting for the guys to come out.

After ten minutes they finally came out, we started to  head to the beach all together. It was a five minute walking distance but it was really hot but super windy which really made it nice.

"Kayla we're taking pictures" I nod agreeing with Sophia. We got to the beach and started walking around. The moms went to a tiki bar and we all found a spot to sit at.

We all went to do a photo shoot except for Quinton. Quinton is to 'cool' but he would help us out taking the pictures of us.

Sophia and I went towards the water and started off. We went on our knees facing each other. We wrapped our arms around each other's waist and smile.

We all took pictures together including Quinton, which took a while but we eventually talked him into it. I smirk as Sophia and Quinton were chatting with each other. Preston was exhausted so he went back to the hotel to get some sleep.

I grab Joeys wrist and take him with me so we left the two alone. Joey got the hint and we went went to a table sitting down across each other.

"You've been okay?" he asked, I tuck a piece of hair behind my ear and nod. "You?" he shrugs, I bit my lip knowing why but I knew I shouldn't say anything.

"Why?" he shrugs again, looking at Quinton and Sophia. "I hope they get together" he says, smiling a little bit.

"Me too, Quinton needs a girlfriend already" we both laugh and look at each other.

"You got so much tanner today what the fuck" he grabs my arm looking at my arm then my body.

"So did you!" he smiles and gives me a shrug, I sigh and look away.

"Hi i'm Antonio, you guys want anything to drink?" I look up seeing a boy around our age looking at the both of us.

"I'll have a water" I say shrugging, Joey shook his head staring at the guy. "Okay, it's on the house don't worry about paying" he says, winking at me then walking away.

"Okay then" I say, making Joey laugh. Antonio came back with a tall glass of water. It hard a lemon and tiny baby umbrella on it making me smile.

"Here you go" once I looked at him he put a small white flower in my hair making me blush.

"I'll be over there if you need anything" I nod giving him a small smile. "Very understandable why he did all that" I roll my eyes and take a sip out of my water.

"Joey dont" I say, with a stern voice. It felt wrong to have Joey flirt or compliment me because I know Anthony would hate it.

"Why?" he pinched his eyebrows together giving me a look, I shook my head looking back at him. "It doesn't feel right" I glance at Sophia and Quinton then back at Joey.
