Hey there! Sorry this took so long but you probably know how senior year goes... But I just finished the next chapter so before I head to school I thought I might leave you here a treat and I hope you like it!
Enjoy :)

"Who is hot?" A familiar voice asks behind us in a light tone. Jack!
"Jack. Hi!"
"Hey girls!" I quickly get up and make my way to him. He grins and pulls me for a hug and a kiss. He lets go of me and puts his wallet, phone and car keys inside my bag. When we're eye to eye again he takes off his sunglasses and his t-shirt, placing it down on my towel. Of course he didn't bring his, he rarely does! "What do you say we go for a swim, babe?"
"Sure, why not?" That'll help me keep my mind off the fact that Deeks has that great surfer's body and hey, he forgot about his first question! I take off my own clothes and sunglasses and put them right beside Jack's things.
As soon as I'm ready he takes me by my hand and pulls me down to the shoreline. The water is cold but it feels good on my warm skin. As I knew he would, Jack runs to a distance where he can dive in the crystal clear water. His whole body disappears but in a few seconds he's back on the surface grinning at me and calling me over.
Honestly I have no idea how our surfer friends are going to catch any waves today because there aren't. We could just swim our way to Hawaii like this!
I finally dive in the water and swim until I reach my boyfriend. When I resurface I'm like two feet away from him so I just make my way to him. He puts his arms around my waist to draw me to him and I place mine around his shoulders loosely. Jack then grabs my thighs underwater as if he was carrying me and I kiss him. His lips are still wet and the water gives them this salty taste I love. After pulling back he lets go of me and I fall backwards with a splash on the water.
"Jaaack! Damn you!" I hate it when he does this!
He laughs and takes off swimming away from me but I quickly go after him and after a few seconds I catch him. He's fast but I'm faster!
When I catch him, I jump to his back so he's forced to grab me. "Hey baby?"
"Yeah?" I ask holding on with my arms around his shoulders and my hands on his chest while I playfully nibble on his ear.
"Who were you and Cam talking about when I arrived?" I stop what I'm doing as I try to find an answer for him without actually saying it was Deeks we were complimenting.
"Really, you sure you wanna know? Because it was a really girly thing..." Got it! If needed I'll know what to say.
"You're mygirl, of course I want to know Pumpkin!" He says with a grin on his face.
"Alright... We were discussing which one was better... Chris Hemsworth or Channing Tatum. And that's when Cam brought up Chris Ev-"
"Wait... Who now?"
"Chris Hemsworth from "Thor", Channing Tatum from "Magic Mike"... And then Cam brought up Chris Evans, you know, Captain America...and I had to agree that he was hot, way hotter than the other ones."
"Really?!" With the face he's giving me I can't understand whether he's jealous or just shocked at the topic of conversation Cam and I "had".
"Yeah! We have this discussions all the time babe!" He groans and I chuckle. "I told you it was super girly! Don't worry though... I still love you better than any of them." After a kiss on his cheek, I think he bought it and he'll let it go.
Jack and I swim for a little while longer, occasionally stopping to kiss or fool around with each other. When I start shivering we decide it's time we head back to the towel.
Back in the sand, Jack takes my left hand in his right one intertwining our fingers and runs his other hand through his hair. His hair is super short, much like my father's, actually. It has nothing to do with Deeks's. Nobody uses a shaggy haircut anymore. I roll my eyes at the thought.
Really? Again with that guy? Wait...is it because he's older than you? No, that makes no sense. Ryan is older too. Yeah...but shaggy boy is new to you! Ugggh! Shut up brain!
As we get closer to the rest of the group, I can see Cam is no longer alone. All the guys and Syd are no longer in their suits but they all went for a swim before we got out of the water.
I can also see Sydney sitting with Chester, engaged in a very interesting conversation. They'd look cute together if I say so myself. Cam is sitting between Zac's legs with her head against his chest and their fingers laced in front of her stomach. And at the same time Ryan and the rest of the guys are sitting around on their own towels just talking and laughing.
When we approach them, Ryan stands up and pushes his sunglasses up to the top of his head before flashing that charming smile of his.
"Kensi! And you must be... Jack, right? I'm Ryan, Camilla's brother. We've met last year!" He extends his hand to Jack, who lets mine go.
"Yeah, yeah, I remember." Then he clears his throat. "Jack Simon, Kensi's boyfriend." He just loves saying that whenever he has the chance.
When Ryan turns to the group behind him to present Jack, I take a look at Deeks and see a shocked look on his face while he's looking at me.
"Guys, this is Jack Simon. He's Kensi's boyfriend. And Jack, this is Ian, Dylan and Deeks and over there with Sydney is Chester, Deeks's brother."
They all exchange greetings before we sit down on my towel like Zac and Cam were. I can feel Deeks's stare at me through his sunglasses as the conversation flows naturally.
"Why is that guy staring at us, baby?" I can hear the jealousy in Jack's voice. He doesn't like the fact that Deeks seems hypnotized by me. To be honest, I have been finding myself glancing over at him too. I don't know why, it must be because I can feel his eyes on me, but...
"I have no idea, but Jack...don't say anything about it. It's probably nothing. Just let it go babe, okay?" I turn my head to him and brush my lips against his. When I turn again to the water and lean back against Jack's chest I see that Deeks is not staring anymore, instead he's picking on some sand by his feet, effectively sinking them beneath a sand dune.

I must have fallen asleep because when I open my eyes the sun is starting to go down, not quite sunset but the in-between, and my tank top is covering me, although I'm not cold at all. I'm still sitting against Jack's body, poor guy must be tired holding me up like this. He could've just lay me down on the towel and I would've been fine.
I feel Jack kiss my neck as I fully wake up. "Morning beautiful!" He whispers to me. I look around and sit up, taking my tank top from my front and putting it on. We're not alone. Cam, Zac and Syd are still here. So is Chester but I don't see anyone else.
"Hey!" I turn around to him and he leans forward, placing a soft kiss on my lips. "Where are the others?" I ask Camilla.
"Ryan went home like an hour ago with Dylan and Ian so they could meet my parents and talk to theirs as well. They're from England so they only talk to their parents through Skype and timing can get...difficult. But they found a certain hour to talk to both of them. And surfer boy is out in the water again. At least this time there are actually waves." Camilla answers with a huge smirk adorning her features. That's when she signals me to look at Sydney. She's still sitting next to Chester and they just seem completely lost in each other. And they just met!
Let's be honest though... They were kind of made for each other! I'm really cheering for them if they ever take this newfound relationship to a different level. Syd's had her share of heartbreaks...
A few minutes later I feel Jack moving around behind me without actually leaving his place. Then he leans close to my ear and says, "Kensi, I have to go. My mom has something planned for me before dinner, I don't even know... I do have to be home in like... Half an hour. We'll talk later, okay?" I just have time to nod before he kisses my cheek and untangles himself from me. I immediately miss the warmth of his body but then he leans down again and kisses my lips fully. "Love you." He whispers before saying goodbye to everyone else and going. I keep him under my watch until he disappears in between cars in the parking lot.
"Where did lover boy go?" Ugh! Really, could he be any more annoying? Deeks just came back from the water and when I look back at him to answer I struggle with myself because I'm just too dazzled by his body to say anything. The way the droplets of water run down his abs as he shakes his head like a wet dog it's just...distracting. I need to stop staring at him!
"Jack went home." I roll my eyes and get up to gather my things. "And I think I'm heading home as well. It's getting kinda late..." I pick up my towel. "I'll see you guys. And uh...it was nice meeting you both." I tell Deeks and Chester and turn around to leave, knowing I'll probably see everyone tomorrow again.
I'm already halfway through the sand with my oldest pair of espadrilles in my left hand, my towel on my right one and my bag hanging from my shoulder when I hear my name coming from behind me. "Kensi! Hey Kensi, wait up!" I stop and turn around just to confirm it was Deeks running up to me. What does he want? I swear one of these days I'll be cross-eyed if I keep rolling my eyes as much as I do!
"What do you want Deeks?" I'm not rude but I'm not exactly nice when I ask him this. I shift my towel from right to left hand.
"Sorry, I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry that I was kind of a jerk today. I'm not usually like this but I tend to get a bit stupid and obviously I rant when I'm stunned or impressed. I guess you impressed me and instead of choosing the right words or shutting up completely I was obnoxious. Once again, I'm sorry. It was really, really nice meeting you, however I was thinking maybe we could...start over. Is that okay?" That's when he sticks out his hand. "Hi, I'm Marty Deeks. It's nice meeting you!" He shoots me a charming smile and I start to realize he's not as bad as I thought he was, though he could be less annoying...
I smile back and shake his hand. "Kensi Blye. It's good to meet you too." I tell him as we stare into each other's eyes and we keep holding the other's hand long after we should have let go. It's so weird, there's this strange connection...something that keeps us from letting go of each other. He's looking into my eyes like he's in trance but then he shakes his head again and awkwardly clears his throat and I know the moment is lost when he lets go of my hand.
God, what's wrong with me?! I shouldn't be having this kind of "moments" with other guys! "Yeah, great!" He mumbles as he scratches the back of his head. He looks oddly cute when he does that and I can help the smile on my face.
He is charming. No doubt about that... But there's this shy part of him I feel like I want to meet. I don't know if I should...
