June walked downstairs, smiling. Today was the first day of her summer vacation, and she planned on living it up with none other than her boyfriend, Sage. Since he had nothing else to do this summer and didn't like to be lonely, probably her brother Cash too, but she'd make sure to get rid of him when it was time for 'being alone' with Sage.

She walked over to the counter and sat down. Her mother, Reba was at the stove making breakfast. "Morning, Mom!" June chirped.

Reba turned around. "Good morning, June! You look happy today!" The smile left her face. "Oh Lord, where's Sage?"

June chuckled. "Don't worry, Mom. Sage is at home."

"Maybe now. But last night?" Reba eyed her daughter suspiciously.

June shook her head. "Nope, he was home all night last night. I think. Or maybe he went out. Maybe he was with another girl. Oh crap, that Cassandra chick from school—"

"June, June, calm down!" Reba held her hand up, laughing. "I believe you, and I doubt Sage was with someone else."

June nodded. "You're right, Mom. Thanks for getting me worried." She rolled her eyes and Reba chuckled.

Cash came downstairs then. "Good morning, family and all the roaches that inhabit this household!"

Reba glared at Cash. "We don't have roaches."

"That you know of." Cash crossed his arms and smiled at his mother.

Reba thought for a second, then shuddered. "Please tell me you didn't see a roach."

"Well, I did," Cash replied. "I got out of the shower and a roach was right there on the sink."

Reba growled. "Oh, no! Where there's one roach, there's a million more!" She ran upstairs.

June looked at Cash. "Did you really see a roach?"

"Nope." Cash smiled.

June raised an eyebrow. "Then why'd you tell Mom you did? You know how she gets."

Cash shrugged. "Cause it's fun messing with her."
June rolled her eyes as Sage walked in the back door. She got up and pranced over to him, kissing him on the cheek. "Hey, Sage!"

"Hi," Sage greeted in his cool, calm voice. "What are you guys doing this afternoon?"

"Nothing," Cash replied, walking over to stand with them. "Why?"

"Well, my parents and I are going to the lake to swim this afternoon to get out of the heat. Kim told me to come over and ask if you guys wanted to come with."

"Sounds like fun!' June said, then frowned. "But…" She looked at Cash. "Do you think Mom is gonna let me go?"

Cash shrugged. "I don't know. Only one way to find out. MOM!"

June rubbed her ear. "Okay, ow!"

Reba and Lily Mae walked downstairs. Lily Mae glared at Cash. "There aren't any roaches in this house, that boy of yours is on cocaine!" Lily Mae told Reba.

"Yeah, do they even have roaches in California?" Reba asked Sage.

Sage shrugged. "I don't know. I've never seen any."

"Mom, can Cash and I go swimming with Sage's family this afternoon?" June asked.

Reba looked at June, then at Sage, then at June, then at Sage. "You two? Him shirtless? You in a bikini? Water? I think not." She walked over to the kitchen.

June made a face and followed her mother. "Mom! Come on, Kim and Sage's dad will be there. And Cash! What are we gonna do with Cash around?"

"Sweetheart, no offense to your brother, but have you noticed Cash's attention span?" said Lily Mae. "You two'd be pregnant before he even noticed you were next to each other."

Cash made a face. "Offense taken!"
Sage walked over to the kitchen and said, "Come on. You know Kim's not gonna let anything happen."

Reba glared at him. "Didn't she used to let you practice kiss with girls when she thought you were gay?"

Sage shrugged. "Yeah, so? She didn't think anything was going to happen. And it never did. You can trust me, I swear."

Reba pondered on this for a second. "I don't know…"

"Just let them go," said Lily Mae. "What are they gonna do in the water anyway?"

"Oh, you'd be surprised what's possible," said June. She immediately bit her tongue.

Reba's eyebrow arched. "And how do you know?"

June slowly looked at her mother. "So, can we go?"

Reba sighed. "Okay, fine. But I'm trusting you, June. If anything happens you won't get my trust back." She looked at Cash. "You keep an eye on them."

Cash saluted his mother. "Can do! Have I ever wronged you?"

Reba stared at him for a minute, then groaned.

June looked at her brother. "You really shouldn't say stuff like that."

Cash shrugged. "Well, I mean—"

"I'll text June when we're ready to go," said Sage before hurrying out.

June laughed. "Thanks for letting us go, Mom."

"Yeah, just don't mention it. Literally."

A/N: SO. This story's plotline in this category will likely get me some brutal reviews, if any at all. But this is strictly a lovey-dovey romance story. No "smuttiness." I'm not going to write a dirty sex scene haha. If you just want crack-pairing fluff then you can always read this! :D Next chapter, they go to the lake and Cash sees Sage shirtless and… well, you'll see! Feedback is always appreciated! Thanks!
