"Hey, what are you girls doing out so late?" Paul asked approaching us. He had finally put on a shirt and I could smell the cologne he'd dumped on from ten yards away. Leah wrinkled her nose at the smell.

"Gee Paul, I could ask you them same thing." She rolled her eyes. "Where'd you get the new scent? Bathroom of a gas station?" I stifled a laugh.

Paul looked incredibly pissed. "You shouldn't be out here all alone." He glanced at me. "It's not safe."

Leah snorted. "For who?"

"Leah…" He growled warningly.

I felt awkward standing there watching them fight. Leah's eyes flickered to me for a second.

"Fine." She huffed. She stuffed her hands in her pockets stiffly and started walking in the direction of the beach again. I caught up and walked beside her, Paul strolled along a short distance behind.

"So is this like a testosterone thing?" I whispered to Leah.

"Pfft…it's more of a Paul-being-a-douche-thing." She said loudly.

I didn't really see what the big deal was. I mean, we're just two girls…all alone on the side of the road, at night. Truthfully I felt a bit safer having Paul here. I shuddered at the thought of some creeper trying to pick us up. I wondered if he and Leah had some weird past and now they don't get along…maybe they dated or something. He is pretty cute.

"Well here we are…" Leah said.

I stopped beside Leah and took in the full effect. I wasn't how I pictured it… it was much better. I'd seen pictures of beaches in California and Florida but this was different. The sand was a very light tan that glowed white in the moon light. The sea was black and slapping angrily at the shore from the recent storm. I could see the silhouette of the nearby cliffs and the water that sprayed against the rocks below. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. It was completely intoxicating. The smell of fresh rain and a trace of salt.

"Do you want to go closer?" Paul's deep voice whispered next to me, it made me jump.

"S…sure." I stammered. I turned to him, he looked amused. I walked forward a few steps before Paul grabbed my arm softly. Even through my jacket I could feel his hot skin.

"You might want to take your shoes off." He chuckled. "The sand's kinda wet."

I blushed. Of course I should have taken my shoes off…but no I had to get all excited and sprint to the sand. I pulled my shoes and socks off and left them on the road behind me. The sand was cold and wet, and it felt amazing squishing between my toes. I could defiantly do this everyday. Half way down the beach I noticed Leah wasn't with us. I turned around and saw her standing on the pavement with her arms crossed.

"Hey!" I called to her. "Aren't you coming?"

"No." She replied quickly. I stood there for a minute watching her debating whether or not to go back.

"Shall we?" Paul asked softly. I nodded.

Paul walked beside me all the way down to the shoreline. It was much cooler down here than I'd have thought. I could feel the warmth radiating off Paul and it made me want to jump him. I ignored the impulse and instead stuck my foot into the water. Big mistake.

"AHH!" I jumped back and shook my foot.

"Did you think it was gonna be warm?" Paul shook with laughter.

"Well no!" I snapped…Why the hell did I do that?

"Why the hell would it be warm?"

"I dunno, why'd you put your foot in?" He asked amused.

I scowled, "…I don't know." I ignored any further comment he made and looked out at the water.

Stupid jerk…laughing at my anguish...no wonder Leah hates him…

"Pretty isn't it?" He interrupted my thoughts. I wrinkled my forehead.

"It is…in a strange sort of way…I'm sure most people would disagree."

"Yea…" I glanced at him and he was staring at me again with that weird smile on his face. I cleared my throat loudly.

"Well I'm gonna head back now…" I mumbled. Paul said nothing but walked by my side the entire time.

Leah clucked her tongue as I brushed the sand off my feet and pulled my socks back on. She mumbled something about catching a cold which made me giggle.

"You should have come with us…" I told her as we walked back. Paul no longer lingered behind us, but walked beside me.

"And walk in the wet gooey sand?" She raised her eyebrow at me, "I'm good…"

"Oh fine." I sighed.

"It's alright." Paul teased. "Leah's allergic to anything that might be fun."

"Nah she knows how to have fun…" I smirked thinking back to a few days ago…Leah seemed to be in another slump, and it looked like I'd have to find something to cheer her up again. I would suggest streaking but not while Paul was here, and I doubted there was a nearby bookstore that sold porn.

Hmmm…difficult, very difficult.

"Hey Paul?" I smiled. He perked up at the mention of his name.

"Yeah?"

"Do you like rap?" I asked innocently.

He looked confused. "Um I guess. Why?"

I hopped in front of Leah and walked backwards.

"I'm not your boyfriend, baby…" I sang to her. She stopped and raised her eyebrows. I grabbed her hands and dragged her as I continued to walk backward.

"I ain't your cute little sex toy…I'm not your lion or your tiger." I swayed my hips comically and continued to rap to her.

"Won't be your nasty little boy, I'm not your boyfriend, baby, I can't grant your every wish, I'm not your knight in shining armour. So, I just leave you with this kiss."

I expected Paul to join in, but I guess he didn't know this song. I didn't really care what he thought, after all this was for Leah, but out of corner of my eye I saw he looked shocked.

"I You know I rep' this shit, I gots it tatted on my skin, If you fuckin' with my city, Then you fuckin' with my kin, You know I rep' this shit, I got my hands up on your chest, Motherfuckers best believe it, That you're fuckin' with the best."

Leah couldn't help but giggle at my attempt to rap. I didn't blame her. Her laughter just fuelled my fire.

"You can catch me on the speedtrain, Beeper in a three-way, Shinin' with the gleam chain, And your honey givin' me brain, you can catch me watchin' AI, Mellow its game time, Pinkie with the same shine, Pit bull and a canine." I stopped for a second trying to pass a fit of giggles.

"Oh God." Leah groaned, "You should really stop now."

I just smiled and shook my head. I took a deep breath and continued.

"You know I rep' this shit, I gots it tatted on my skin, If you fuckin' with my city, Then you fuckin' with my kin, you know I rep' this shit, I got my hands up on your chest, Motherfuckers best believe it, That you're fuckin' with the best…" I stopped and tried to do the west coast sign. I was unsuccessful…of course, but it made Leah crack up anyway.

"Well this was fun." Paul said. He had walked us all the way back to Leah's front door.

"Hey, Sam and Emily are having a little barbecue tomorrow night. You guy should drop by." He smiled at Leah, who looked like she was trying to return it. He lingered on the step for a minute then awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck.

"So um yea, bye." He grinned at me and smiled back.

"Bye." I watched him amble back down the road in the direction we just came, he must like walking.

Leah grabbed my arm and pulled me inside. She shut the door quickly and turned to me. She opened her mouth to say something but a lamp flicked on distracting her.

"Oh hi sweetie. I was wondering when you'd come home." Sue said from the couch. There was a man sitting next to her with his arm draped around her shoulder.

"Charlie just stopped by to say hello. Isn't that nice?" The man, Charlie, blushed deeply and stood up. He waved feebly at us.

"Hello Leah." He said and nodded at me, I smiled back. I noticed he was wearing a police officer's uniform.

"Well Sue, I should really get going, I was gonna go check in on Bella." Sue got up and led him to the door.

"Night girls."

"Night." We both replied. I could tell they wanted to be alone, so I nudged Leah as our cue to leave. She quickly led me to her room and shut the door. She turned to me once again and crossed her arms.

"Do you like Paul?" She asked calmly.

I opened and closed my mouth several times, but nothing came out.


So watcha think?
