Chapter 4

beach weekend day one

Kate and I woke up at nine on friday. We were leaving today and we had yet to pack. Heading down to the showers Kate got a text from Caleb.

"No way! Caleb got a jumbo van so we can all ride together." She exclaimed.

"Awesome! We sound like a badly made teen movie where the characters go on a road trip." I laughed.

"I know." Kate giggled.

After our showers Kate and I headed down to get some food. We settled on fruit because we knew there was bound to be a car full of snacks. We headed up stairs and to our surprise we found Sarah standing outside our dorm with a suitcase and tons of clothes.

"I need help packing." She pleaded which caused Kate and me to burst into laughter.

"Come on we'll help you." Kate managed to get out while opening the door because I was to busy laughing my ass off.

We helped Sarah narrow down her clothes to a pair of jeans, shorts, a dress, the necessities, two tee-shirts, two tank tops, a sweatshirt, various shoes, and her blue nike bikini. Kate and I packed the same basic stuff but Kate had a white halter bikini and I had a black halter bikini. The three of us girls were completely done packing by noon so we decided to get ready to go. Kate and I had to get dressed still because after our showers we put on pajamas. Sarah was already comfortably wearing her hair in a pony tail with her ratted up jeans and blue flowered tank top. Kate picked out a denim mini with black leggings and a red tee-shirt. I had put on my emerald green short-shorts with a cream colored tank top. Following Sarah, Kate and I proceeded to put our hair up in pony tails also. We had a lot of time left over till we had to so the three of us lounged around talking.

"Mel, you know Reid, Caleb, and Tyler all like you right?" Kate said.

"Yeah I noticed." I said sarcastically.

"Hey that is totally not a bad thing. I would die to be in your position." Sarah said. Just after Sarah said that the phone that Kate and I have hooked up in our room rang. I decided to do the normal thing and pick it up.

"Hello? Oh hey Reid. Yeah we are ready. Hold on I'll ask... do you guys wanna leave early 'cause the guys are ready?"

"Yes!" They said simultaneously.

"Yeah Reid we'll be right down. Okay bye." Then I hung up. "The guys are going to meet us down in the parking lot." By the time I was done talking Sarah and Kate had already grabbed their bags and were at the door. "Wait for me." Soon enough we found four happy boys and a large van sitting in front of the dorms.

"ROAD TRIP!" Reid yelled.

We packed our belongings into the back of the van and Caleb hopped into the drivers seat. Sarah sat up front in the passengers seat. Kate and Pogue took the back row so they could make out and sitting next to that should be called cruel and unusual punishment. With that arrangement I got stuck sitting between Reid and Tyler. Once everyone was situated and I got Reid to stop trying to grope me Caleb pulled out of the parking lot and cranked up the radio. For the first hour we were all completely content singing and dancing to all of the songs that came on the radio. Truly that can only last for so long and with five more hours we had to find something to do but, that something could wait till after we ate lunch.

We stopped for lunch at some swanky diner in some small town. Just my luck who did I get seated next to, Reid and Tyler. Its not like I don't like them 'cause I do it is just that they have this thing with fighting, pinching, and wrestling each other and being in the middle of a pinching war hurts. We all ordered and when our food came we quickly ate all of our food. Lunch would not have been complete without Reid making comments about how much he likes girls who eat because they have more energy in the sack.

After paying for the food we raced back to the van only to end up with the same spots. After about ten minutes of diving Sarah pulled out her ipod and started singing out loud. We all looked at her like she was totally crazy.

Feeling the stares she turned "What?"

"Do you enjoy singing out loud while listening to your ipod?" Tyler asked obviously making Sarah embarrassed. We all just laughed. Eventually the two boys next to me fell asleep on my shoulders and Kate and Pogue were going at it in the back seat.

"Hey do you want me to drive for a while?" I asked to break the intense silence.

"Nah, I'm okay. So how does it feel to be back home?" He asked.

"Fine, It is just different though that may have something to do with my new look."

"Yeah, you do look different...I mean it is not bad...uh...you look hot...Okay now that is kind of awkward." He is so cute when he stumbles over his words.

"It's okay." I giggled out. "I have an idea. HEY EVERYONE WAKE UP." I yelled and hey it worked.

"What the Fuck?" Typical Reid.

"Yeah seriously what's wrong with you?" Tyler said after Reid.

"We are going to play truth and you can't get out of playing. Rules are one person asks a question and everyone has to answer."

"I have a question." Reid said. "Have you ever had sex."

"You would ask that Reid." Tyler said.

"We'll start..." Kate said talking about her and Pogue "yes."

"Duh, and I have also." Sarah stated. "What about you Caleb?"

"Yeah I have." Caleb said.

"I can answer for Baby boy, he had never..." Reid started but was cut off by Tyler.

"I have had sex." Tyler almost yelled.

"No way, when? Who?" Reid almost fell out of his seat from shock.

"Last year during spring break with this girl in Miami. I would tell you her name but I don't remember it." Tyler said causing Reid to smirk with approval.

"No one need Reid's answer 'cause we all know what it is so, I will go next." I said looking at Reid only to see him glaring at me. I just gave him a big smile and said my answer. "I have done it before."

"Your tainted now!" Tyler said jokingly.

"If I am tainted then we all are tainted."

We continued playing till we found out how many partners Reid has had and decided no one needs to know that much about Reid Garwin. The game did pass a lot of time because we were now well into hour five of the six hour drive. Eventually everyone but Caleb fell asleep and I would have to say Reid's chest is very comfortable.

I woke up just as we were pulling into the drive way of my family's beach house. It has been a while since I have been here. Truthfully I wasn't ready to get here yet, Having Reid's arms around my body was very nice. It was a good minute later when I realized that everyone including Reid was awake and staring at us. I reluctantly peeled myself out of Reid's arms. I could tell he didn't want me to leave his body but I could also tell Tyler and Caleb were jealous. Sarah gave me a questioning look and all I did was shrug.

The car finally came to a stop in front of a massive beach house. We all got out of the van and walked through the large door into the lightly painted and open feeling living room. The far wall was covered in windows and had a sliding glass door that led to a large porch with steps going down to the private beach. The beach was lined with trees on the house side and from those trees there hung hundreds of lanterns.

"This is amazing!" Kate said in awe.

"I know." I said. "By the way we need to go to the store and get food to eat while we are here. So some of us should go to the store and the rest of us have to get the bedrooms ready and get out all the beach stuff." Before I even got to the words get out everyone but Reid and me were on their way to the car to shop for food.

"Thanks guys!" Reid said sarcastically.

"Well we should probably get started." I told Reid. For the next hour Reid and I got beach stuff out and made beds. Within that time we managed to flirt, talk, and have a pillow fight. I was beginning to see the different side of Reid, the sweet side. When we were done we headed down to the beach to sit in the sand.

"What was up with you and Abbot yesterday?" Reid asked shortly after sitting down.

"Nothing, we were friends before I left and trust me the vibe between us couldn't be more mutual, in a friendship sort of way." I told him seeing a smile grace his lips.

"So you would never get together with Aaron?" He questioned.

"No." I said with a giggle. Just then we heard the van pull up to the house. "Race you." I said to Reid before I took off running. I could here him groan and get up to chase me. When he caught up with me he grabbed me around my waist and pulled me to the ground. I just so happened to land on top of him. I was giggling my head off when I felt Reid gently grab the back of my neck and begin to pull me down for a kiss. Just before our lips touched someone yelled for us. Quickly we got up and walked in silence the rest of the way to the house.

We helped everyone unpack the groceries. When that was done we all headed off to bed after the long day. I was in a room with Sarah and Kate was in a room with Pogue. Reid, Tyler, and Caleb all roomed together. Each of our rooms had its own bathroom. I was the last one to get into bed because I really needed a glass of water so I ran down to the kitchen. When I was walking down the hall to go to my room I pass by me, shirtless.

"Tyler is in the bathroom." Was all he said. With that I went into my room and slipped into bed thinking about the shirtless Reid and what could have happened on the beach.
