EX-BFFs with the Famous, Gavin Ryton

Chapter 12

Two Can Play

When I got to the beach it was crowded with people. Little kids were building castles and running in the shallows under the careful eyes of their parents. Adults raced about pointing at the views and holding drinks from the countless cabanas. Teenagers laughed and joked with each other looking around their shoulders nervously combing the beach for their parents. Down the crowded beach I could see where it got even more populated. Large yellow signs were also down there; normally I would have been pissed about the longer walk but on a day like this is was no problem.

The sun was out glistening off the crystal clear waters. The hot sand was seeping through my gladiators and I hummed a song. When I got to the area of the surf competition I saw a circle of people crowded around the lifeguard stand. I walked over and sorted through the people to find what everyone was so excited about. In the center of the crowds stood four guys and one girl, one of them was Skylar and he seemed to be living it up in the spotlight. He saw me and winked leaning on his board. Before I knew it the crowds were parting and shouting Sonwem! Sonwem! Which was either this guy's sponsor or name because it was written on his navy and orange board. He did okay in his run, not great, not terrible. Next up was Skylar.

I had taken a spot in the sand where I could see him from. He was amazing. He flipped and glided between the waves like it was second nature, as easy as breathing. When he came back to shore after his run a gaggle of girls erupted in screams and mauled him from all sides. He just smiled and waved to me. After the others had finished it was clear who had won. By a landslide the surfing champion was Skylar. After the competition was completely over and Skylar had gotten his trophy I still sat on the beach sand running through my fingers. It was slowly becoming cooler and cooler but I was enjoying just sitting and thinking. I didn't exactly want to go home and see Gavin and I hadn't just sat on the beach and relaxed in over a year.

Someone sat down next to me and I looked over ready to roll my eyes thinking it was Gavin. Instead I found myself smiling at Skylar. He had on a major smile and his hair was slightly windswept. Swoon.

"Hey there, sorry I had to leave and bring the trophy home well and shower" he explained running his fingers through his hair.

"No problem" I said and that was the truth I enjoyed my time to just think.

"So I feel like I haven't been able to take you on a proper date... and I don't want to be the next asshole in your life" he started nervously and ending with a small chuckle.

"Would you mind bringing me home first so I can change?" I asked shivering a little and just now realizing how cold it was getting. It was amazing how fast the beach cooled down.

"Of course" he shrugged off his sweatshirt as he got up and dusted the sand off himself and offered his hand to me. I did the same, once I was up he handed me his sweatshirt with a dorky smile. This made laugh of course, "Thank you" I said putting it over my shoulders. We got into his jeep and drove back to my place, talking and laughing the whole way. I complimented him on his surfing skills and he thanked me for coming.

"Wow, this is... Big!" he gawked as we walked up to the door. Inside was oddly quiet, and I led Skylar to the living room and gave him the remote promising him it wouldn't be long.

I rushed upstairs and threw on some jeans and a red top that hung off one should and had a spaghetti strap on the other side. I grabbed black shrug, and black heels to dress it up. Quickly, I straightened my hair, grabbed a purse and dashed back downstairs. When I walked in there were now three people in the room. Skylar sat on the couch clearly suppressing a smile while Lacey and Gavin sat across from him staring him down like a cannibal eyeing up humans.

"Okay that's weird" I said as I walked in front of Gavin fanning my fingers across him and the whores face. He changed his glance to me.

"Well sense you're not going to say anything I am, I'm going out with Skylar, bye" I looked over at Skylar, who gave me a smile and nodded towards the door.

"Wow, you really are the most jealous person I've ever come across" she whispered. I mean honestly, I didn't even acknowledge her and she has to comment.

"Me?!" I stopped dead in my tracks toward the door and turned to face her ugly little face, giving her of course a look that could kill. "Ah ha" I laughed to myself. "Jealousy is when you found out Gavin cheated on you with me, because you have the personality of a badger, and just to let you know you're not fooling anyone with those boobs honey, they are about as fake as you are" I gave her a snobby look, flipped my hair and walked out. That's right hoe, I always have the last word.

Skylar took my arm and walked to His car. I stopped and looked over at him. "Want to take my Porsche instead? You can drive" I smiled. If there was one thing almost every boy I'd ever met loved, it was my cars.

"Was that even a question?" Skylar raced to the garage and drove us to this really beautiful Rome themed restaurant. We talked and it was basically a perfect night. We both had pasta dishes and I managed to not get any sauce on my face. We laughed and made jokes and he told me about growing up in Australia. It was nice to just talk with another person who wasn't Gavin. After we were done, we drove back to my place. He walked me up to my doorstep and we stood there like awkward teens with our hands behind our backs.

"So, that was fun" he said inching a little closer.

"Yeah I had a great time" I said also taking a few inches.

"So..." he kissed me quickly making me smile and blush. I felt nervous and a little excited. He began to back away.

"Wait, do you want to come in and watch a movie of something?" I said all in one word basically.

He sighed sounding relieved. "Yeah that be great, I've just got to call my mom and tell her where I am okay? Even though I'm an adult when I visit and I'm at their house I play by their rules" he explained rolling his eyes.

"Of course" I opened the door, and walked in leaving him outside to make his quick phone calls. He slipped back in and I dragged him to the movie theater in the basement.

"Okay I'll be right back I'm just going to go change" I said kissing Skylar on the cheek and leaving. I rushed up the steps and turned running into Gavin. He gave me a look.

"Where's your boyfriend?" he sneered.

"Downstairs we are going to watch movies" I said shrugging and walking into my room.

I put on shorts and a tank top and brushed out my hair. Then I basically sprinted back downstairs hopping over the couch onto Skylar's lap, laughing.

"Which movie did you pick?" I asked looking at the wall of DVDs.

"This one, it's already in, just waiting for you, and now you're right where I want you" he whispered in my ear wrapping his arms around me and showing me the cover of "The Ring".

"Oh my gosh I didn't even know I owned that!" I hide my eyes. Okay so I was a bit of a scardy cat...

"I'll protect you." he said pulling me super close. I clapped the lights off and the movie began. After the movie was over I was sprawled over Skylar under a blanket, his arms over my waist protectively. One arm snaked up to my neck gently pushing it down on my head. My lips met his and he ran his tongue along my lower lip begging for entrance and I pulled away. I don't know why I did. I just did, it wasn't right to me and I couldn't pull myself to do it. Skylar at first looked pissed but quickly changed his glance to an understanding smile.

"I think I'd better go, I'll call you alright?" he kissed my cheek and I walked him up to the door, where we hugged goodbye. Lacey's car was also gone which made me feel reassured.

The thought of her hear made me want to barf. My feet dragged when I walked past Gavin's room, why did it feel so wrong to kiss Skylar and why did I want to crawl into bed with Gavin more than anything else?

I liked Skylar, didn't I?
