After changing I walk out of the stall and my feet hit the warm sand. I run to my tent and toss my bag into it. Running out to the waves I see Parker and Mark running towards me and Mary. We all splash around and swim for a while.
I go under taking in all of the refreshing water. I feel a tug at my leg and I get pulled until I hit skin, arms wrapped around my body. I look up at Parker's soaking face, his muscles holding me close to his chest.
I give him a playful shove and laugh swimming away. We splash a little longer until the sun begins to set. We all gather around the fire and I wrap myself in a blanket to get warm. We've all changed, I wore a big t-shirt and a pair of shorts. My hair is still damp but not soaking, it drips on my leg making me shiver. we all eat s'mores and hot dogs before heading into our tents for the night.
"Goodnight guys." I say quietly.
"Night Hermosa." Parker says.
When I climb in Mary comes in after, "What the fuck!" I yell.
She giggles and sits in front of me, "So... you and Parker?" She says.
"There is no "Me and Parker"" I say.
"He calls you Hermosa." She says tilting her head.
"Because he wants to, so what?" I say.
"Okay, whatever you say Liz." She unzips the flap and steps out.
"The kissing game is going to start tomorrow." She says.
I notice Parker's head duck down in his tent. Mary looks at him and zips the tent back up.
I slip my jeans off leaving me in only a shirt, My big shirt that fits like a dress. I fall asleep eventually.
I wake up and the moon is still in the sky. Groaning, I get up rubbing my eyes. I unzip the flap and step out being as quiet as possible. Walking out, the waves still splash against the sand. I sit in front of it but not close enough for me to get wet.
I hear foot steps before sitting next to me. Parker smiles at me and I look away.
"Hey." I say looking into the sky.
"Hey, can't sleep?" He asks sounding genuine.
I shake my head and lay back on the sand. My shirt drags up to the top of my thigh and I pull it down.
"Me either." He says laying next to me, "It's nice out here."
I nod, "Yeah, it's quiet." I say.
"You lied to me." He says.
I look over at him, "What?"
"When you were swimming I noticed the tattoo on your shoulder blade." He says.
"Oh." I say, "Why did you notice?"
"I like it." He says.
"Thanks." I say.
"Maybe sometime we can talk about our tattoos." He says.
"Maybe." I say.
I sit up and look over him as he sits up as well. We sit in silence before he leans closer to me. His warms breath brushes on my cheeks, our noses touch as we look into each others eyes.
"What's going on?" I hear a voice.
I pull away quickly and stand in embarrassment. Noah stumbles around and I leave Parker.
"Hey buddy you're tired, go back to sleep." I say slowly.
He nods and crawls back in. I look back to see Parker climbing into his tent and I do the same. When I lay there, comfortable and warm I think about what just happened. Why the hell did I even get that close to him? I don't know if I can even trust him. I close my eyes and roll onto my side.
"Wake up!" A voice calls.
I roll over to see Parker standing above me, I groan and sit up.
"Shhh." I say rubbing my eyes.
"You sleep really peacefully." he says.
"What are you a stalker?" I ask.
"No, just get up Hermosa." He says.
He holds out his hand and I take it without even thinking. He looks down at my legs and I grab his jaw.
"Eyes up here." I say.
"They are." He says looking up at me.
I bend down and grab my pants, I slip them on as he stands there watching.
"Okay, I have to change my shirt get out." I say.
"I don't want to, I already saw it." He says.
"Go." I say.
He leaves and I pull my shirt off then slip my tank top back on. When I climb out I pick up all of my stuff inside and then fold up my tent.
"I could've helped." Parker says.
"I know." I say putting my tent on the ground.
When I get back to my house I walk in the door and see my mom talking to some lady before she turns to me with a smile.
"Hey, this is Ms. Hart she'll be checking in with you while I'm gone." She says.
