We started to laugh and joke around I was finally getting the vacation I deserved. After I picked up Sydney, I swung by and got Tori. We were still on the car on the ride down. Almost there though, it was late but we were hungry so I pulled into this little, rustic diner for some dinner.
After we were done at the diner we continued our way to the beach house finally arriving and going straight to bed. The house is beautiful it has 3 floors, but since it was just us we all stayed on the same floor. My bedroom had a view of the ocean and a nice balcony where I could read and watch the sun go down. Sydney was staying in the master suite since its her mom and dads room. Tori's room was right down the hall from mine she took the smallest room since she isn't in it much. We all unpacked this morning I had a small but just right walk in closet with drawers built into the walls. We decided to unpack and take our clothes out of the suitcase since we would be down for a few weeks.
I was the first up so naturally I cooked breakfast. I decided to make pancakes and bacon. When the girls came down we carried our plates to the front porch and that's when we saw them. Three guys strolling down the deserted street, at slaughters beach, no one comes here, especially hot guys. That's when we all gasped, we looked terrible, I mean we had just got out of bed, hair all messy and we we're in our pjs. I was the only one not freaking out. I was in a cute pair of cropped leggings and a blousy batman tank, my hair was in a messy bun. They must have heard us because the brunette said " Top of the morning to ya ladies" and then they started to inch closer to the porch with every step. The only problem was we had no clue who they were, we had just thought they were some hot guys, with no idea of what we were getting into.
As they slower got closer to the porch we all scrambled to fix our hair and wipe of any leftover makeup. I didn't have to worry cause I didn't wear a lot of makeup on my face except mascara and occasionally some eye-liner. When they finally reached the porch The beach blonde said "Mind if we join you girls for some breakfast" Of course we said yes, so I went inside to make them each a plate. As they grabbed their plate, they all filed into the seats, the dirty blonde sat next to me on the bench. As there were no single seats left. He smelled like the ocean spray, I constantly kept feeling his eyes locked on me like he was reading my soul. It was an uncomfortable feeling, but surprisingly not a bad one. We all went around saying our names. The brunette: Scott. The beach blonde: Tony. The dirty blonde Austin. He was The cutest. He had deep brown eyes with small explosions of gold and I could tell he defiantly played some kind of sport because he was very physically fit. As the conversation died, the boys complemented my cooking and then us girls said we had to get ready for the beach. Austin was quick to respond with "oh, that's funny we were just headed to the beach too!". All of the guys exchanged looks of confusion then nodded, hinting to me that was not the case, but I let it go wanting to get to know this mysterious boy more. After some exchanging of numbers and times we decided to meet at the only light post on the street at 11:30. With that the guys left, and the cleaning service arrived to clean up the house a little. Tori quickly ran to the shower as did I, Sydney had to talk to the workers before escaping to the shower too.
After I got out of the shower, I went into the closet to pick out my best bikini. It was from hollister and it had a pink circle design on it with a seagull in the middle. I decided to wear my off-white lacy knit cover up dress. Sydney and Tori were in blue bikinis and simple dress cover ups. It was 11:31 and Sydney was still finishing up her look, so Tori told me to peek down the street to see if the guys were there, of course they were. We were officially late, so much for first impressions.
When sydney did finally come down, it was 11:40 and I was sure the boys would be gone by now, surprisingly they were still there waiting. We grabbed our beach bags and walked down. Knowing they would want a answer Tori said" sorry Sydney over here took two hours to get ready." the boys said nothing and we just sat there for a second then Scott said " so are you guys ready now?" of course we said yes. I offered to drive but Austin insisted since he had just got a new car, a Chevy Silverado. He got it as a gift from his grandmother. I protested a little then finally gave in, as long as I got shotgun. When we finally were all packed up and ready to go it was 12 o'clock. We were going to go to Rehoboth, then Sydney suggested a secluded beach only 15 minutes away. We decided to go there instead since it was already late and the beach was probably packed by now. When we arrived, Austin ran right to the outhouse. There were waves but not too big, the sand was hot and soft, I quickly laid down the blanket so I could stand on it, the rest of the group had shed there clothes and ran into the water. Austin finally emerged from the path and as soon as his feet touched the ground he yelped in pain, this made me giggle. He jumped down to the blanket, until he felt relief. When he sent me a glare, and I returned it with a playful smirk. He said "lets go" i shook my head and pulled out my book. I had opened up to my last page only to be flown over his shoulder and before I knew it I was hit with cold, crisp, salty water. In revenge I splashed him, it all happened so fast I didn't even realize the rest of the group was staring. In the moment it felt like we were the only two there. My cheeks were instantly flushed and pink.
I didn't really like him, or did I? How would I know, I couldn't know, it was too soon, right? Yes.
After goofing around in the water for about an hour and a half, we all decided to eat some lunch. Tori made us all sandwiches, PB&J. I sat down and started to eat when, Austin sat down right next to me, legs touching. There was that feeling again, a shock rushed down my leg and up my spine. He made me feel comfortable but yet nervous at the same time. We talked about random stuff and the decided amongst the group to get together and have a campfire tonight on the small yet quaint beach across the street from our houses. I noticed Tori and Scott were missing and said something. In return Tony said " oh no not again, every girl Scott meets he sweeps her off her feet then takes her somewhere to do stuff. Then never talks to her again." "Tori can't have here heart broken again, She just got over Nick." Sydney said.
Scott came back and tori wasn't with him. "Where's tori?" Sydney asked. We all stopped our side conversations and turned our attention to him. His eyes scattered trying to find the words. Finally he spoke, " we were walking back towards the car because she forgot her phone and I leaned in for a kiss when she got a text and her eyes started to swell up with tears edging ready to fall. I asked her what was wrong and she bolted. I tried to run after her but lost her in the dunes." we just sat there I'm shock. How could he be so calm? Was he in shock? I didn't know all I knew was I had to find her because chances are it was about Nick.
I jumped up and ran to the car and found her towel on the ground. Austin showed up a few seconds later. I was worried and scared for my friend. He could tell, I knew it because he just brought me into a hug. It was comforting and I felt complete while in his arms. But was quickly brought back to reality when my phone buzzed. It was Tori.
TORI: hey I need your help. But don't tell Sydney.
ME: where are you? Are you ok?
TORI: I'm ok. I'm about 2 blocks down from the beach at some café.
ME: I'm on my way. Wait there!
I looked at Austin, "I have to run. Do you mind covering for me for a little while?" His eyes looked concerned but I knew he trusted me. "Are you ok? Do you want me to come with you?" Truth was I did want him to come with me, a lot, but I knew it was not possible. I shook my head and gave him a reassuring smile. He finally agreed to cover and with that I started my trek to find this mysterious café.
After what felt like hours of trees and open nothingness I finally arrived at a small rundown building, with a neon sign that looked like it was about to fall off the posts. I sucked in some fresh air before walking in. I stepped in and instantly had my breath taken away.
It was amazing. It was like I walked into an alternate universe. There was two-toned walls (gray and white), a loft area with computers, and another with tables and chairs. Not many people were there so it was easy to find Tori. She was sitting with a man who was facing away from me so I couldn't see his face. I walked over and saw that she had gotten me a coffee. I sat down and instantly realized it was Nick. Tori started the conversation saying that it wasn't what it looked like. Then she followed with " Nick has helped me. " I just sat there with a confused stare but it was quickly replaced with a smile with what he said next. " Tori asked me to help her by planning Sydney's birthday at this beach club and since we broke up she assumed that I wasn't going to go through with it and when I texted her today she panicked thinking something was wrong." Tori cut in "Obviously I jumped to conclusions" Nick continued " so anyways I'm gonna plan the party still and we need you to keep her occupied Saturday so she doesn't catch on. Can you do that?" I nod my head and smile slightly because I'm glad tori and nick are on speaking terms again. I mean they were real good friends before they dated. We chat a little talking about the party. After about 5 minutes I stand up and suggest we get back before they get worried. I didn't mention that I told Austin just because it's not important. I just hope he didn't say anything to Sydney.
