Forever and Always

Chapter 40

Eli stayed near Matt and Sett, they were pretty far from the group. Plus it almost seemed like he was avoiding me ever since I started holding onto Reed's hand. It doesn't mean anything it's just friendly. Matt and Sett really payed no mind to us, they were to busy talking about their lovey dovey life, pretty sure Eli was getting annoyed on both things right now. I wish I could help, but he's being stubborn.

'Either he's being an idiot right now, or it's because he assumed we're dating in the first place then "broke up" with me afterwards.' I thought to myself. Pretty selfish. It's not my fault. He's the one that thought all of this, not me. And now it seems like I'm paying the price for it.
"I hope you guys brought your swim suits! We're going to the beach!" Matt turned and laughed. Swim suits? So they wanted to go to the beach anyways? Dammit, I didn't bring mines. Well actually I should've suspected it I told them to meet up at the beach, so I should've seen that coming... I smiled and spoke "I didn't bring mine. I don't think anybody brought theirs at all."
"Aw that's sad. But me and Seth already planned ahead for you unprepared people! Ta-dah!!" Matt pointed over to a shop two blocks away. There were few people moving in and out of the shop, some with a big bag with violet strips and between them is just plain white stripes. In the middle of the bag had words in the middle of a medium sized oval Just Keep Swimming read the sign. Funny name, reminds me of Dory from Finding Nemo, when Dory and Marlin decided to swim into the abyss for the mask.

In the shop there was a mens and womens section. Matt and Seth split once we entered the shop. Matt took my hand and dragged me to the womens side. "How's this? The tropical color can fit you!" He laughed and brought out a two piece bathing suit. In the middle of the bra part looked like it was tied up and placed with a bow. The design of the bathing suit looked like it had an Amazon Lily. The back round was a light blue ocean color.
I grabbed a hold of the bathing suit and held it up to my body. 'It's cute and all.. but it's not my style..' I gave it back and decided to try and choose one myself. I started walking around the area and found the one pieces section. There was this one bathing suit that was a one piece with the sides cut out and where the stomach was, was a gold ring holding both of the pieces for this bathing suit together. The crest area was a low V-shape. (Don't worry there was straps for this one!) The color of the bathing suit was a nice shade of dark grey, close to black.
Matt looked at me with a naughty stare as I grabbed this one. "What?" I smiled, my face getting red.
"Sexy. Are you trying to seduce me?" He laughed and hugged me.
"Oh how did you know my plan??" I laughed and hugged him back "I'm gonna buy this one and change into it." I said and walked to the register.

On the other side, Sett had Eli and Reed. They were looking at the trousers. For guys I don't think it's that hard to choose. I mean they're just boxers meant for swimming. They don't have to hide their chest. Eli was on the oposite side of Reed, looking at the plain dark red bathing suits. While on the other side Reed and Seth was looking at tropical and plain looking bathing suits. Matt came to their side with a huge grin on his face. Sett and Reed looked at Matt like he was hiding the biggest secret and he would just explode any minute. "What's with you babe? You look like you just saw the funniest thing right now." Seth said.
Eli came over to the other side with a dark red bathing suit with black linings on the top and bottom. "Why does he look like that?" Eli asked. Sett shrugged along with Reed. "I'll just wear the white one." He picked "where's Kailey? Did she find what she's looking for?"
All Sett would do was just chuckle and kept saying "I don't know." Which we all know is a damn lie.

In the dressing room I started to undress myself. I looked at the mirror as if I was looking deep into a person's soul. A soul that looks as if it should be judged with the most hated person on earth. I had a little stomach bump. I swear I should stop eating that damn sweet cream ice cream so much... oh well. I looked at my breasts as I took my bra off, they weren't as big as the media would say is 'sexy' or 'perfect' but in all honesty I kind of wish that they were a little bigger.
As I took my underwear off as well I took a good look at my body. Holding my left arm with the my right hand. Letting my right arm squeeze my breasts together just a bit to make it look as if they were pushed up and ready to be shown. I moved my hips to the left, my right leg bending just a little to keep my balance. My hand slid across my stomach and slowly laid back at my side.

You're beautiful... beautiful..

I looked back in shock. 'James?' Nobody. Just a plain white door. The only opening of the door was at the top. Hanging next to it on a hook was my bathing suit. "Oh right. I forgot." I said to myself and unclipped the one piece from the hook of the hanger.
As I put the bathing suit on I looked back at the mirror. I gasped as James was standing right behind me. A plain stare looking straight into my eyes through the mirror. I blinked.

Beautiful.. guilt...

As I came out the dressing room, all four boys waited in front of the store. Figured that I already paid for my bathing suit, might as well just walk out with it.
