What a perfect day for sunbathing! So, Jordie, Hayley and I were lying by the pool in my backyard, sunbathing. It was just so sunny and warm; we couldn't pass up the chance. Hayley was in her black and green one piece, while Jordie had opted for her itsie bitsie teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini, JUST so that she could sing the song. I, for some reason, could not find matching bathing suit pieces, so I was wearing a green bikini top with pink bottoms.
"Don't days like this just make you feel like you're dating a celebrity?" Jordie asked. I rolled my eyes, but it's not like she could see that through the blue Ray Ban aviators I had 'borrowed' from Jason. Jordie had borrowed Shane's white Ray Ban Wayfarers, and refused to take them off. Even if it was raining or pitch black, she would be wearing them.
"Jordie, you are dating a celebrity." Hayley said monotonically. I kinda felt bad for Hayley. Nate still hadn't caught on that Hayley was into him, even thought it was like super obvious to everyone. "Oh, yeah!!" Jordie smiled, settling back into her lounge chair. After about 10 minutes of perfect silence and we were completely relaxed, it was shattered. The gate that separates my backyard from my neighbors abruptly opened at hit the fence, causing all of us to jump and scream. Two seconds later, my neighbors' ten year old daughter came through the gate. "Abi! Don't scare us like that!" The small girl stopped her board and jumped off and flipped it up and caught it. "Sorry! I didn't know you were out here! I was coming over to ask you something." I sat up, "What's up, Abs?" (Abs was my nickname for Abi. Her real name was Abigail but she shortened it to Abi.) "Mom and Dad are having a business meeting in half an hour and I need to be out of the house. So, I was coming over to ask if I could come over and hang out... Please? I don't want to have to go to Mrs. Figg's house again... her house smells like soup ALL the time!" Before I had a chance to respond, my cell started going off. "And I do, want you to know I'll hold you up above everyone." Yes, our song was my ring tone for Jason. I smiled, "Hang on, Abs." I picked up my cell and pressed accept. "Hey, handsome." "Hey, beautiful. Have you got any plans for the rest of the day?" "Well, the girls and I are just hanging out by the pool, working on our tans, but besides that nothing really." "Can we join you?" "Well, that depends on who 'we' is." They had come over a few times and brought some of their celebrity friends and failed to let me know, so, I ask now. "Just the four Grey brothers, I promise." "How long will it take?" "Give us time to get our swim stuff together and we'll be there in no time, 'kay?" "Double awesome! I love you." "I love you more. Bye." I sat my cell back on the table and turned back to face Abi, "If it's okay with your mom and dad, you can come over and swim with us." Abi tackled me in a hug. "Thanks, Trish. You're the best!" She got back on her board and flew back to her house to change. Jordie and Hayley looked at me. "So, what did Jase want?" "The guys are done for the day and they are on their way here to come hang out with us." "My Shaneykins is coming?" Jordie asked excitedly. It was hilarious how hyper... well, more hyper than usual, Jordie got when someone even mentions Shane. "Yes, your 'Shaney' is coming." I replied, rolling my eyes. Good lord, she is WAY too hyper for her own good. I needed to change the subject. "Oh, they're bringing Danny too."
"Who's Danny?" Abi asked as she walked back though the gate, wearing a white with blue green and pink butterflies halterkini (that's a tankini but instead of a tank top, it's a halter top) with a matching skirt and white flip flops. "Jordie's boyfriend's adorable little brother." I get out before anybody else could say anything.
"Jordie has a boyfriend? Alright, who's the unlucky guy who owed her a huge favor?" Abs asked playfully. Jordie stuck her tongue out at her. Jordie and Abi may seem to hate each other, but they're really almost like twin sisters... only Jordie's younger mentally. "Can it, Abskadoodles." Jordie ordered. "What? I just never thought that any boy would like you." Abi teased her. "Oh that's it! Oi! Get back here!" Jordie got up and the chase began, Jordie tearing after her. But just as she grabbed her and was about to throw her in the pool, the guys walked in and Shane yelled, "Jordie!! What are you doing?"
"Oh my God, you're dating Shane Grey? Lucky!" Abi said. Jordie sat her down and ran to Shane. "Shaney! It was horrible! The devil's child was teasing me, saying that no boy would like me." Jordie whined. Shane chuckled and kissed her lightly. "Well, I like you." Jordie turned around and grinned at Abi. "See! A boy likes me, and not just ANY boy, but SHANE GREY!" She exclaimed happily. "Hey, the "devil's child", as you call me, has a real name. Hi, I'm Abi, and thank you for getting her to put me down." Abi stuck her hand out so Shane could shake it.
"No! Don't shake hands with the devil! No! No! Ah! Now you've done it!" Jordie exclaimed dejectedly as Shane shook Abi's hand. "She owns your SOOOOOOOOOOOOUL."
"Hey crazy, I think you've been out in the sun too long." I said. Jordie glanced at her arm and shook her head. "Nope... still not as tanned as I could be."
"Do you honestly want to look like a burnt tortilla chip?" Nate asked. "She'd be an incredibly hot burnt tortilla chip." Shane replied for her.
"Uh huh... Yeah, of course. Did you guys come to discuss what kind of tortilla chip Jordie would be, or are you here to swim?" I asked. Nate and Shane looked at each other and smiled. "POOL!" They yelled. They both quickly ripped off their shirts and cannon balled into the pool, spraying water everywhere... including on Jordie.
"GUYS! You got my bathing suit wet!" Jordie whined. "Jord... Bathing suits are supposed to get wet." Hayley pointed out. "Exactly." Shane said as he grabbed her legs and pulled her into the pool. She shrieked as she hit the water. Hard. I laughed, and then I felt an arm around my waist.
"You next." Jason whispered in my ear, and then I felt him lift me up. "No! No! NO!" I screamed in excitement as he threw me in. After I resurfaced and wiped my hair out of my face, "Jason Grey, you are so gonna get it." He walked over to the edge and squatted down so he could be closer to me. "What ya gonna do about it?" I cracked a smile. "This. Now, Hales!!" And before he had a chance to react, Hayley pushed him in to the pool and he went in head first. The rest of us were laughing as Jason came back up. Shane and Nate had got back out to jump in again.
"I want to go in!" Abi yelled. Shane and Nate looked at each other and smiled. "Here, we'll help." Nate said as he and his brother stood beside the girl. "You ready?" Shane asked her. "Ready for what?" she asked. "This." Nate said as Shane grabbed her arms and picked her up while Nate grabbed her ankles and the moved her to make her body look like a hammock. Abi screamed as Shane and Nate counted off, "One, Two, THREE!!!" and on three, they sent her flying and she landed in the pool. Now, most girls would have come up crying about how they were mean or if it had hurt, but not Abi. As soon as she came back to the top of the water, "THAT WAS AMAZING!!! Can we do it again?? PLEASE!!!"
