"Come on in!" Ty yelled at the three girls who were currently sitting at the edge of Deuce's pool with their feet dangling in the water. The group was staying for two weeks at Deuce's summer house, this was their first day there.
They all refused, leaving Ty to think for a moment. "Rocky," he started, knowing they would follow her, "If you don't come in it means you looooove Logan!" All the boys laughed and Rocky glared at him.
"That makes no sense and it's not fair!" Rocky protested, her face turning bright red as Cece made a disgusted face.
"You don't need to be ashamed you want some of - this," Logan said, flexing his biceps. The two had been secretly dating for three months now, but they didn't want it to be public just yet. All the girls rolled their eyes.
"So? What's it gonna be?" Ty asked once again.
Rocky groaned and slid into the pool. "I'm in, now I'm going out," she growled.
"Nuh uh uh, it doesn't work that way," Logan said, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind and keeping her from leaving. Her body relaxed in his arms, and she bit her lip to keep from grinning uncontrollably. "Stop being so cute," he mumbled in her ear, smirking as she blushed furiously.
Tinka and Cece were still sitting on the edge of the pool. "Come in? Please?" Ty begged.
Cece saw that Tinka was about to give in, and she grabbed her wrists. "Resist the enemy."
"Since when were they the enemy?" She said, rolling her eyes.
"Since now," Cece told her.
"Oh please, I know you want to go in there with Deuce and be all sweet, look at Rocky and Logan. I know you want something like that." Cece made a disgusted face as Tinka pointed out her step-brother and best friend, who were obliviously flirting, acting as if they were a couple. While she looked away Tinka jumped into the pool laughing.
"Traitor!" Cece yelled playfully as now she was the only one sitting at the edge. Someone grabbed her feet from underwater and pulled her in, making her shriek. "DEUCE!" She yelled, lightly slapping him.
"Ty made me do it!" Deuce just raised his hands in defense, making Cece roll her eyes.
"C'mon, C, I know you were getting bored out there," he said, poking her stomach. She flinched slightly and bit her lip to keep from giggling. Deuce frowned in un-satisfaction as Cece laughed and swam underwater.
Ty and Tinka were in the shallower part of the large pool, Tinka not wanting to go further. Ty picked her up on his back and swam to the middle, Tinka clinging onto him.
"There was not much swimming in the old country," she explained, the accent that was slowly dropping coming back a bit. "I can swim, just not very well."
"I can help you," Ty offered, "Just kick your legs," he told her, holding her up by her waist. He let go without her noticing and he raised his hands in the air. "Good job," he commented as she started to move her arms.
She swam underwater for a moment and came back up smiling. "Thank you," she said, pecking him on the cheek. He grinned and at the realization of what she had just done, Tinka swam underwater to behind Ty. He spun around and picked her up out of the water, making her laugh.
Rocky and Logan were currently ignoring the fact their friends were with them, as they were ignoring them as well. They were in the deepest part of the pool, 12 feet, and sitting on a ledge in the pool.
Rocky was sitting basically in his lap, while his arms were wrapped around her protectively. She leaned back and pecked his lips before turning back around. He leaned forwards and softly kissed her neck a few times, knowing she was ticklish there and it would make her squirm. True enough, she fidgeted as a small giggle escaped her mouth, making Logan smirk.
"Stop that," she said, slapping his chest. Logan just laughed and kissed her on the lips, which she gladly melted into.
Cece caught sight of them and just crinkled her nose, not exactly surprised.
"Ew," Cece said, noticing that Logan and Rocky were pretty much making out now, and Tinka and Ty were supposedly subconsciously flirting. "Everybody's being all flirty and stuff and it's starting to gross me out," she told Deuce.
"It's not that bad, it's sweet," Deuce said, pausing to look at Rocky and Logan, "Except that." He said, motioning to them.
"You are such a girl," Cece laughed.
Deuce grabbed her wrists and pulled her farther into the pool. "Let's do something!" He said. "Wait!" He jumped out of the pool and plugged his iPhone into the speaker.
"I love this song!" Cece told him as the words of Forever Unstoppable by Hot Chelle Rae blasted through the speakers.
"I know you do," Deuce smirked at her. She blushed before speaking again.
"So what are we gonna do?" She asked.
Deuce looked at Ty. "Ty! You thinking what I'm thinking?" He looked at the two girls.
"Chicken fight!" They both said at the same time. Cece jumped onto Deuce's back, then to his shoulders as Tinka did the same to Ty.
They were all laughing as Cece managed to knock Tinka over, Ty falling with her.
"Oh yeah!" Deuce said as he picked Cece up by the waist and spun her around in the water a few times. When he set her down she was blushing, and he wrapped his arm around her waist.
"Good job," Deuce whispered to her, his breath making the hairs on the back of her neck rise. She bit her lip and smiled.
Tinka's cheeks flushed a light pink as she came up from the water with Ty's arms around her. She bit her bottom lip and kept her position, her back pressed against Ty's chest.
"Care to introduce me to the hot ladies you have over here?" A voice came from the patio, where a guy, probably 19-ish, stood.
"Just go away," Deuce groaned, glaring at the guy. "Guys, this is Alec, my very ANNOYING cousin," he said, rolling his eyes.
"This your little girlfriend, Deuce?" Alec smirked while walking over to the edge of the pool.
"No!" Deuce said, his and Cece's faces turning red as he unwrapped his arm from around her.
"Well then, don't mind if I do," he said, giving Cece a quite creepy wink and she gave him a disgusted look.
"Just go away," Deuce growled, clenching a fist.
"Fine, fine," Alec grumbled, walking off. He stopped momentarily near Tinka and said, "Hey girl, call me." He winked at her and walked inside.
Ty protectively tightened his grip on her, making her blush.
Logan was intently watching Alec, holding Rocky next to him. "If he tries anything on you I'll so kill him," he said, Rocky pecking his cheek.
"I know you will," she giggled, curled against him. "Y'know they've probably noticed us by now," Rocky pointed out, motioning to their friends.
"Screw it," he mumbled, kissing her neck again, making her squirm.
"So are we gonna tell them?" She asked.
"Um, I dunno. How about we just let them... Figure it out," He smirked.
"You're an idiot," she laughed, "but okay. Do you want to actually do something now?"
"This is doing something, but okay," he replied, sliding off the little ledge, Rocky coming in after him. She grabbed onto his shoulders as he swam, but he went underwater and she let go.
"You're mean," she pouted as he came back over to her, wrapping his arms around her again.
"But you love me," he smirked.
"Yep," she giggled, pecking him on the cheek.
"That's all I get?" He asked mildly sarcastically, making Rocky laugh.
"Yep," she replied again.
"Are you just gonna keep saying 'yep'?" He asked.
She grabbed his shoulder and pulled herself up to his ear. "Yep," she whispered and dove into the water.
He swam after her and caught her. She came up laughing as he held her against him. "I'm gonna get you for that, Blue," he threatened playfully.
"Oh no, whatever will you do to me?" She gasped dramatically before laughing.
"This," he said, grabbing her by the waist and tickling her.
She kicked her legs, trying to escape. "Logan!" She squealed between her laughter, "St-st-stop i-it!"
He stopped tickling her after what felt to her like forever, and she began trying to regain her breath. "Evil," she said, pointing her finger at him.
"I know," he smirked.
Cece noticed Deuce's still clenched fist and lifted it up from the water. "Relax," she commanded, his fist unclenching.
"Let's actually do something... Again," he suggested.
"I don't want to, it's all warm and comfortable here," Cece complained.
"C!" He whined.
"Please?" She asked sweetly.
"Fine," he gave in immediately, making Cece smirk in satisfaction.
She pecked him on the cheek, causing him to grin and put his arm around her.
Deuce changed the subject. "What's up with them?" He said pointing to Tinka and Ty.
"They obviously like each other," Cece said, "but Ty's being a chicken and not telling her, because he thinks she'll reject him even though she won't. I mean, look at them." Deuce nodded in acknowledgement.
They sat in silence for a moment before Deuce splashed Cece. She raised her eyebrows and splashed back, engaging in a splash war. Cece won in the end by jumping on Deuce's back and pushing him under the water.
"You're not getting away this time," Deuce said as he wrapped his arms around her. He swam underwater, bringing her down with him and he came up laughing, while Cece hit him.
"Not funny," she pouted.
"Yeah, it was," Deuce said, laughing again.
Cece sighed and pushed Deuce underwater. "Now it's funny," she confirmed as Deuce came back up.
"Oh you've gotten yourself into some trouble, red," he said, smirking.
"Hmm, have I?" Cece laughed and dove underwater, leaving Deuce to chase after her.
After much chasing and splashing, Deuce grabbed her and wrapped his arms around her so their chests were pressed together. Cece was blushing but she didn't protest.
"I'm gonna go inside and get my, uh, hair tie, okay?" She asked.
"Okay," Deuce said, releasing her, slightly disappointed. He knew she left her bag on the table, so she shouldn't be long. When three minutes passed, he went to see if something was up because Cece didn't usually like to be alone when she could be with others, and she shouldn't be taking that long.
Deuce walked inside to see what he least expected. Well, actually it wasn't that unexpected, but he didn't expect it, if that made any sense. Alec had Cece pressed against the wall with one hand, the other hand trying to undo her bikini top. She was whimpering and trying to push him off of her, failing. Deuce clenched his fists and ran up to them, knocking Alec out cold with one punch to the head.
Cece ran into Deuce's arms, softly crying as he rubbed her back. "Shh, C, you're safe now, I promise," he said comfortingly, holding her tightly. They just stood like that for a few minutes until Alec began to stir.
"Hey guys, what's up?" He said, sitting up immediately. Deuce clenched his teeth as Cece latched onto his arm in fear. Deuce glared at him and walked outside with Cece.
"He has a personality disorder thing," Deuce tried to explain to Cece, who was slowly calming down, "but either way he's not a good person. And I would never let him hurt you," he added as Cece buried her face in his neck.
He eased Cece into the water, trying to distract her mind from what had just happened. "Please, C? I promise I won't let anything happen to you, you're safe now." He pressed his lips to her forehead and felt her muscles instantly relax, making him smirk. "Now are we going to have fun or what?" He asked, just wanting to make her feel better.
"Okay," she agreed, swimming with Deuce over to where everyone else was. Someone tapped on her from behind and she jumped, immediately clinging onto Deuce, relaxing when she saw it was just Logan.
"Why so jumpy?" He asked, only partly serious.
Deuce looked at her as if asking her for permission, and she nodded. "My freak of a cousin tried to touch her, that's why," he snarled at Logan for his insensitivity.
Everyone looked surprised and angry, Logan's fists now clenched. "Sorry," he said softly before saying more, "Are you alright?" He asked, obviously furious.
"Yeah," she replied quietly, grabbing Deuce's hand underwater. He was surprised at first, but then entwined his fingers in hers, making her smile.
Rocky stood up and Logan asked, "Where're you going?"
"To kick the idiot's sorry ass, that's where," she replied.
Logan wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her back down practically onto his lap. "Maybe you should leave the ass-kicking to me," he laughed, resting his chin on her shoulder from behind.
Cece started shaking again when they started talking about it, and Deuce squeezed her hand reassuringly. He couldn't help but notice how perfectly her petite hand fit in his larger one.
"You're safe," he whispered in her ear, his breath tickling the back of her neck.
"I know," she whispered back, pecking him on the cheek.
Both Cece and Deuce were confused. They had been together almost all day, and exchanged some quick kisses, but none on the lips. He thought she was oblivious to his flirting, and she thought the same, but vice-versa. They didn't know what they were to each other. Meanwhile, Tinka and Ty both felt on top of the world, though they didn't dare admit it to each other.
The pizza they had ordered came and the group started watching the movie. Cece and Deuce were watching intently, absentmindedly shoving pizza into their mouths. Logan and Rocky were actually not kissing for once that day, but Rocky spent most of her time hiding her face in his chest at the scary parts. Everyone had sort of just accepted they were together, even Ty. Speaking of Ty, he and Tinka had already fallen asleep. Ty had his arm wrapped around Tinka protectively, while she was cuddled against him with her head on his chest.
Rocky and Cece both took out their phones, taking a picture at the same time. They said something at the same time too, but they were different words. "Aww!" And "Blackmail!" I'm pretty sure you can figure out who said what. They both started laughing and went back to the movie.
A romantic part in the movie came on, the girl on the TV speaking to another girl in front of her.
"If you really love him, you have to tell him. It's fatal, if you don't our whole world could end at any moment. With all of them closing in we don't have time, it won't be long before our whole army collapses. And I can tell you now, he loves you just as much as you love him, but hearing it from me won't be enough. Tell him."
Rocky and Logan went back to being all mushy and sweet to each other, while Deuce and Cece fidgeted awkwardly until the scene was over. The next scene showed the girl telling the guy how she felt, which resulted in a heavy make out session.
Tell him. Tell him. Tell him. The words rang in Cece's ears and she shook her head, trying to clear the thoughts.
"You okay, C?" Deuce asked, seeing she had spaced out for the past ten minutes.
"Oh yeah, fine, why wouldn't I be?" She said, a bit too peppy to be normal. Deuce gave her a weird look but didn't say any more.
The movie came to an end and Rocky and Logan had both fallen asleep. Cece yawned, extremely tired, and fell back, unsuspectingly into a pair of arms. Deuce's arms, to be exact. They wrapped around her and she smiled as she fell asleep in her love's arms, excitedly awaiting tomorrow.
