Chapter Two

"Do you girls want to go for lunch with us?" Marc asked.

The two girls, Darcy and Clare, looked at each other then smiled and shook their heads.

"We'd love to." Darcy said.

I kept looking over to Clare, her eyes captivating me in every way possible.

She was so beautiful.

She wasn't the plain blue-eyed girl, something about her was different.

The different that kept you wanting to watch a movie or show for hours.

Clare was different.

Which made me want to know her even more.

Marc slapped my back.

"Alright, what hotel are you guys staying at, we'll walk you over there in about an hour and head out for food?"

"We're at Lowes." Darcy said, her eyes not leaving Marc's stomach. "It's about five minutes from all the clubs and little shops."

Clare nodded.

I smirked, knowing exactly where it was.

"Before lunch, would you like to walk up the beach with me?" Marc asked Darcy.

Clare looked over to Marc, almost trying to figure him out.

Then she looked to Darcy, who was smiling wickidly and almost seductively.

"I'd love to." She said, turning to walk up the beach.

Marc started after her, leaving Clare and I alone.

I watched as Clare looked over her shoulder to them, bitting her lip.

I laughed.

Clare turned to me, her expression confused.

"What's so funny?" She asked, glancing back to Darcy and Marc.

"You seem like he's going to murder her." I laughed again.

Clare raised her eyebrows.

"How do I know he wont?" She crossed her arms and gave me a stern look.

I stopped laughing immediatly and put my serious face on.

"The worst he's going to do is trip her, just so he can catch her in his arms and make himself seem like a hero."

Clare's face broke as she started laughing.

Her laugh was so girly that it didn't seem to fit her.

Clare didn't come off as the 'valley-girl' type, but she wasn't the 'tom-boy' either.

Maybe boarder line each?

Watching her laugh like that only made me chuckle.

I wasn't expecting that from her at all.

Clare calmed down and looked back at them.

"Well, my sister may take advantage of him if he's not careful." Clare said, smiling at me.

"Ah, I see. Sisters. Your deffaintly the protective one." I winked.

Clare grimced.

"I know." She said. "But you don't know Darcy. She parties non-stop and meets a new boy everywhere we go. It's like she needs a babysitter."

I looked over at the two walking.

Marc already had her hand in his.

"I know what you mean." I said. "Marc is just like that."

Clare sighed and looked over the ocean.

"I wish I lived up here for good." She said. "I use to come here to visit my grandparents, but they sold their home."

I nodded.

"I know what you mean. I've always wanted to get a nice penthouse up here, just rent it for the entire summer and the colder months. It would be a good escape. Minus all the tourists." I smirked.

Clare smiled and looked up at me.

"Wanna go in?" She asked, pointing at the water.

I smirked and threw my shirt on my bag.

Clare slid off the white summer dress she had been wearing, revealing a blue and yellow baithing suit.

She smiled at me and ran into the water.

I watched her until she made the first splash, then I ran after her.

She turned around to look at me, just as I dove under the water.

I was a pretty strong swimmer.

I was able to hold my breath for almost five minutes, which to me, was pretty insane.

I opened my eyes and saw Clare's feet, standing there and turning in circles, looking for me or for sharks.

I reached out my hand and grabbed her foot.

She started struggling, but I could hear her laughter from under the water.

I yanked my arm, making her come under with me.

Her face under the water was as perfect as above.

She opened her eyes and started hitting me.

I felt myself beginning to laugh.

I stood up and let the air come to my lungs.

Clare came up and started splashing me.

"You jerk!" She screamed.

Quickly I crouched down and ran at her.

She screamed as I lifted her over my shoulder and started walking deeper into the water.

She kicked and laughed and gently hit.

"Eli!" She laughed. "Put me down!"

I smirked and looked over, seeing her butt in my face.

I started laughing. "Okay."

I threw her from my shoulder into the water.

I started laughing and watched her as she struggled to come up.

I saw her through the water.

It was deep enough I was on my tippy toes, so Clare would probably have to tred water.

I waited a little longer, waiting for her to merge.

When I looked back into the water, she was still.

Quickly I dived in and put my arms under her armpits, bringing her to the surface.

I held her head above the water and looked at her face.

Her eyes were closed.

"Clare!" I said.

She didn't move.

I could feel my heart beat increasing.

"Clare!"

Then, her eyes darted open.

She blew out her cheeks and spit water on my face.

She began laughing and kicked away from me.

She started swimming back to shore, rolling onto her back and glancing at me.

I walked towards her and grabbed her feet.

Making sure her head stayed above water, I pulled her gently towards me.

Her legs wrapped around my waist and my arms wounded around hers.

I held her in the water, staring into her eyes.

"That, Ms. Clare, was not funny at all." I said as sternly as I could.

Clare wrapped her hands around my neck.

"It. Was. Hillarious. Mr. Eli." She said, laughing.

She put her hands on either cheeks and smushed them together, making me have fish-lips.

"Don't be so serious." She said, jokingly.

I smiled and held her gaze.

Was it possible I had only met this girl last night and I was already holding her in my arms?

"Eli!" I heard faintly.

I looked around Clare and saw Marc on the shore, waving for us.

Darcy said something to him.

Clare turned and immediatly dropped her arms and legs, sliding onto her feet.

I let her go as we walked towards Marc and Darcy.
