Amari's POV

"Amari can I ask you something?" Zayn says.

"Sure" I say.

"Why did you lie about your age?" Zayn asks.

I look at him and he looks at me waiting for an answer.

What am I supposed to say? That I like him and that's why I lied. I figured if he knew he wouldn't ever like me because I'm too young. He still waiting for an answer. What do I say? The truth? Maybe.

"Well I lied because- it's kind of stupid. I just can't say," I answer.

"Whatever it is just tell me, I can take it," Zayn says.

"Well...." I start to say. "Ilikeyou" I say really fast.

"You what?" Zayn asks with a confused look on his face.

"I erm, ilikeyou" I say again still fast hoping he doesn't catch it.

He still looks confused. "I Lik-" I start to say before Zayn kisses me.

He pulls away and looks at me directly in the eyes. I just look at him. What just happened? Zayn kissed me? He kissed me!

"So I take it you understood what I said," I say with a slight blush.

"Yeah, I just wanted to hear you say it again," Zayn says with a smile.

I give him a I'm gonna kill you look and I shake my head. He just looks at me and smiles. I can't be mad at him.

I grab the blanket and pull it closer. Zayn puts his arm around me while I lay on his shoulder. I wonder if he feels the same way and that's why he kissed me. I look up at him and he looks at me and smiles.

"So you kissed me you like me too?" I ask.

He smiles and kisses me again. He pulls away and asks "Does that answer your question?"

I smile and say "I think so."

Zayn's POV

"So you kissed me because you like me too?" Amari asks.

I smile and kiss her again. When I pull away I ask "Does that answer your question?"

She smiles and says "I think so."

Amari lied because she liked me. Wait that doesn't make sense. Does it?

"If you like me why did you lie?" I ask her.

"Because I thought you wouldn't like me back because I was younger," she answers.

"But that's crazy!" I tell her. "I don't care how old you are, I like you for you, Amari," I say with a smile.

She smiles and kisses my cheek.

That's why she lied. It doesn't matter anymore. I'm just happy she likes me. We continue watching friends until we fall asleep.

I wake up and Amari is still sleeping. She looks adorable while she's sleeping. I look at her and lean over to kiss her on the forehead. She wakes up and looks at me.

"Good morning" she says.

"Good morning" I say back.

We both smile.

"What are we doing today?" she asks.

"I don't know" I answer.

"I got it" she says.

"What?" I ask.

"Can we go to the beach?" she asks. "Please? It will get cold again and its nice outside today. It's the earths way of telling us to go to the beach before it gets cold again," she says.

I look at her and say "Alright, the beach it is."

We get ready to go to the beach and I pack up a bag with towels, water, and sandwiches. Amari walks in the kitchen wearing a T-shirt and shorts.

"Ready?" I ask.

"Ready!" she says excitedly.

We get in the car and head to the beach.

The drive is filled with music and nothing else.

As soon as we arrive I notice theres not a lot of people here today. We find a sunny spot in the sand and set up the towels. I take off my shirt and sit on the towel. I look over at Amari and she looks pretty. The way her hair is blowing with the wind and her eyes sparkle with the sun. She takes off her shirt and shorts and is wearing a bikini underneath. She looks at me and sits down.

"Getting in the water?" she asks.

"Yeah," I say. I give her my hand and we get up and run to the water.

We splash around in the water. I splash her several times and she says "your gonna get it," as she splashes me back. I chase her around by the the shore and I finally catch her and hug her from behind. She turns around and looks in my eyes. I look in her eyes and kiss her gently on the lips. We pull away and smile. She drags me back in the water and starts splashing me. I splash her then pick her up to spin her in the water. She laughs and I put her down.

"Want to eat?" I ask.

"Yes please," she answers.

We walk over to our spot and sit on the towels. I get the sandwiches out and hand her one. She hands me a towel to dry off. We cover ourselves with a towel and eat our sandwiches.

"Do you know how to swim?" I ask her.

"Yeah. What about you?" she says.

"No" I say.

"Really? If you want I'll teach you," she says.

"Sure, but can we do it another day? I'm getting cold" I say.

"Yeah, I feel cold too. I think we should go back to the penthouse" she says.

"Let's pack up then" I say.

We pack up our things and wrap towels around ourselves so we can dry faster. We get to the car and leave the beach. The drive home is filled with music, singing, laughter, and jokes. Soon we get back home and put everything away. I take a shower in the bathroom in my room and she takes a shower in the hallway bathroom. I don't like using my bathroom. I don't know why. I'm just used to using the hallway bathroom.

I get out of the shower and get dressed. I walk to the living room and Amari is sitting on the couch doing something on her phone.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"Oh thank god you're here! Jake got my number somehow and is threatening to beat me again," she says.

"WHAT?!?" I say angrily. I'm not one to get angry. I'm usually pretty chill but not now.

"I don't know how he got it but he's saying when he sees me I'm gonna get it," she says. I can see the tears welling up in her eyes.

"NO! HE'S GONNA GET IT IF HE TOUCHES YOU!!!" I yell.

"Calm down Zayn," she tells me.

"Okay fine" I say softly, I don't want to scare her.

Amari gives me her phone and says "Give me your number incase something happens."

I put in my number and say "Give me your number so I know when it's you."

I hand her my phone and she puts in her number.

Jake better not touch Amari! I really like her. I can't let anything happen to her.

"Why is he threatening you?" I ask Amari.

"Because he wants me to go out with him and he swears that he loves me. He said if I didn't go out with him he would beat me up," Amari explained.

"You'll be safe with me at my school. Don't tell him you transferred, okay?" I say.

"Okay," Amari says.
