i stood still, feeling very intimidated. i shouldn't let him scare me but he did.
his jaw clenched, "leave him alone" he stated in a low tone. what is he going on about
"excuse me?" i questioned, placing my hand on my hip- trying so hard to keep a confident image. he laughed at me, as if i was stupid.
"leave ethan alone" he yet stated again. i then got angry, he cant tell me who to talk to.
"you don't get that say- sorry" i laughed and began again "now if you will excuse me, im getting ready to go out with you all" my hand grabbed the door handle in attempt to close the door, failing when it hit at graysons foot.
"i know what you did before you came here- youre not hurting him" his words stopped my heart. he then moved his foot and closed the door himself.
i leaned against it and slid down with my knees to my chest, thinking about his words. fuck sake.

i dropped my towel on the sand revealing my body in a a small two piece. i ran towards the ocean and felt the warm water surround my legs. i walked further in and stood before the sun, taking in its heat. my eyes closed and enjoyed the moment.
soon disturbed by a rather large hand resting on my shoulder, i was startled at the action and turned to see ethan.
he stood before me shirtless, he was tanned. he worked out, not too much though- i could tell by his abs. my eyes trailed down to the band of his swim shorts, his v-line very defined. lastly looking up to his deep brown eyes, the way the sun shone on him- they looked like pools of honey.
"you feeling LA yet?" he broke my daze, i thought to myself for a minute.
"you know im not too sure..." i started "how do you define feeling LA?" i wondered. he thought to himself.
"funny, ive lived here for years yet i don't even know" his laugh afterward was contagious, i began laughing myself and grabbed his hand. i started running further in, taking him with me-
"then lets find out" our bodies were submerged by the water, heads bobbing up and under. a smile plastered on his face as he watched me. i tried to stay afloat as did he.
"i think youre pretty cool you know" he began, me ego swelling at his words. "just please don't let grayson get to you, hes not usually like this, to be honest i don't know what has gotten into him"
"hes not getting to me" i lied "however, youre cool too.. but not as cool as me" i tried to lighten the mood, achieving a subtle giggle from him.
"liarrr" he dragged out, i rolled my eyes as the conversation then went dead. he looked like an idea filled his head. "last one to shore is so uncool" he sang before his head dipped underwater and headed the opposite way.
"hey! no fair!" i exclaimed before dipping under too. i swam in the same direction hoping to catch up.
shore arrived and i saw him stood before me looking so proud. "whos so cool?" he taunted playfully. i stood straight and the cold air hit my skin, making goosebumps develop all over my skin. "youre cold" he stated and i looked down to see the cold bumps all over me.
"lets get dressed, suns going down soon we can watch it set?" i asked, hoping for him to agree. to which he did.

ethans pov:
i watched as she pulled on her joggers over her smooth tanned legs. her body is incredible. i havent felt myself so attracted to someone like this in a while, ive only knew her for a week.
her body disappeared behind the wall she was supposed to be behind in the first place. i looked away from the distance and back down to reality.
"there is no way you are into her" laughter erupts behind me, i look to see grayson towering above me.
i scoff "shes just a friend, theres no need to be rude gray. cut her some slack"
he looked at me with no expression "youre lay on the sand watching her change." my face dropped-
"no im not," i look over to her and see her walking over from afar "go away, youre not ruining this." i hissed. all he did was shake his head and mutter some stupid shit.
"shes trouble e, youll know about it sooner or later" he walked away and i sat stunned at his words. he finds pleasure out of trying to ruin things for me. ridiculous.

i walk along the sand towards ethan and see him talking to grayson,he worried me but i didnt stop walking. before i got too close he left i didnt worry too much though.
"im back " i announced and he looked up smiling.
"hey" he motioned for me to sit with him. i kneeled down and tried to get comfortable. my head rested on his chest, the both of us laying on the comfortable sand.
"thank you for today, its been fun" i looked up to him, his head turned down to look at me and a smile spread across his face.
"ofcourse, i like hanging out with you" his hand reached into his bag, a box of cigarettes, "you dont mind?" his eyebrow cocked upward.
i felt some sort of relief, thank god its not an issue. "aslong as you give me one- mine are in your car"
he pulled an amused face as he reached for two sticks out of the box "i honestly didnt even suspect you smoke" hearing that made me laugh-
"i guess i hide things well" i took the cigarette from his hands and put it in my mouth, he lit his and turned to me, lighting mine with his cigarette- still in his mouth.
i dragged and turned back to the sky as it slowly turned colours. i lay back into his chest, relaxing to the feeling of his fingers running circles on my back and nicotine soothing my cravings.
his voice broke the silence "so how do you define the LA feeling?" i felt him watching me so i looked up to him-
"fucking sick" we both broke out into laughter. i dragged the last few of my cigarette and threw its far from me and soon after so did he.
we watched as the last bits of daylight faded away.
