Have Fun Reading. This is one of my favourite chapters.
He went back into he kitchen and grabbed his bottle of coke out of the fridge. It seemed that's all he ever drank. The day went on as usual and work went fine. As the day came to an end I became very exhausted. I could barely make it up to the top floor of our apartment. I stumbled through the door and put all my things down at once. I walked down the hall and saw Josh to the right, in the kitchen. He was making something, I didn't even pay attention to what it was, and I was so tired. I stumbled over and rested my head on the side of his arm and closed my eyes.
"You're tired," He laughed
I moaned and he turned around to look at me. He hugged me for a minute and I rested my head on his chest.
"If you're really tired you should go to bed." He said sweetly
I moaned again and hugged him tighter, I didn't want to move.
"Carry me." I persisted
He stopped hugging me and I felt his hand at my back and the other by my knees. He picked my knees up and brought me up to his chest. It was like I was being carried like a child. I slowly lifted my arms to go around his neck as he moved to the bedroom. I was already half asleep when he got to the bed. He slowly lifted me down to the unmade bed and let go. I didn't unlock my arms from around his neck though, I didn't want to.
"Hey," He whispered
"Lay down with me?" I moaned
I let my arms loose around his neck as he bent down to kiss my forehead. He sighed
"Fine, for you."
I smiled and pulled the sheets up as he walked around the other side of the bed. I felt him get in and I moved over to face him. He put his arms around me like a big bear hug. I nuzzled my head right at his neck and finally started to fall asleep.
"Good night," He whispered, "Love you."
I woke up in the morning and Josh was there, on the laptop, like usual. This was the first Monday I had off in ages. I got up and sat beside like I usually did.
"Can we go somewhere today?" I moaned "I mean, I probably wont get another day off in a while."
"Yea, whatever you want! What do you want to do?" He cheered
"I don't know," I mumbled
I got up to go and make some breakfast. As I was walking to the kitchen the window caught my eye.
"The beach!" I yelled
It was august and I hadn't been to a beach yet and I had lived here for almost a year now. Soon it would be September and it would get way to cold.
"The beach?" Josh exclaimed as he walked into the room
I was kneeling on the couch looking out the window.
"I haven't been to one single beach here, ever!"
"Okay, I guess." He answered
I walked back into the room and looked for my bathing suit. It had to be here somewhere. I finally found it after searching though piles of clothes. I went into the bathroom and tried it on to make sure it fit and sure enough, it didn't. I got my things back on and walked out to the living room.
"This doesn't fit"
"What?" Josh asked
"The bikini."
"Oh" He exclaimed "Before we go to get a new one or whatever, I have to go to the studio too"
I got myself ready to go out, ate and we left the apartment around noon. We drove to the studio and Josh got out quick to grab a few things. Then we were off to the mall!
"What store in the mall sells bikini's?" Josh asked as we got out the car
"Bikini Village!" I cheered
"Oh god…" He moaned
We walked into the crowed mall and I found my way to the bikini store. Josh looked really uncomfortable as we walked in. The first thing that caught my eye was the bikini on display. It was bright blue and it reminded me of Josh's hair.
"Oh hey! Welcome to bikini village! How are you today?" The man that work there exclaimed
He was wearing a pink v-neck with yellow skinny jeans. I heard Josh snickering and I turned around and glared at him. He was probably laughing at the fact the man looked gay. He stopped immediately.
"I'm very good!" I cheered
"Do you like this one?" He wondered
"Yea, I do!"
"Okay, do you want to try it on? What's your size?" The man asked
"Um, I don't really know, my last one was a 5 but it's too big."
"Okay! We'll get you fitted!" He gleamed
He picked one up and started walking to the change rooms. Josh and I followed.
"What does that mean?" Josh whispered
"Don't worry about it, it'll be fine." I whispered back
We got to the change rooms and he opened one up for me. He passed me the suit and shut the door. As I was slipping on I couldn't help but wonder if Josh was verbally abusing the guy. I walked out fixing the top.
"The top is way too small," I exclaimed
The man examined it.
"And the bottoms?" He persisted
"Perfect! They fit fine!"
"Turn."
I smiled and turned around. As I was turning I caught Josh's mouth dropping open. He covered it with his hand and sat there, wide eyed. I smiled even more and the man smiled
"Your right! You just need another size bigger for the top." He agreed
He walked back to the front of the store and the second he was just out of site I looked at josh.
"Holy shit. That's what fitted meant?" Josh fussed
"Uh yea, it's fine."
"Uh, no! Do you not see what he's doing?"
"Helping?" I smiled
"More like checking you out! That's my job!" He smirked
"I got your size!" He gay man cheered as he skipped to the dressing room.
I pointed my finger towards Josh "Shut. Up."
The man came back and handed me the new top and I walked back into the change room. This top felt much better. I was still smiling at the fact Josh was probably out there giving the man dirty looks. I walked back out and faced the man.
"Fits much better" I exclaimed smiling
"Mmmmmhh" He mumbled
The man asked me to turn around and I was facing Josh. He moved closer and I felt him touch the sides of the straps. He wanted to see how tight it was around my chest. I smiled at Josh; he looked really uncomfortable. One of his hands was clenched tight and the other was covering his mouth. The man took his hands off me and cheered
"Perfect! Do you like it?"
"Yes" I smiled
I walked over to the tall mirror, turned, and looked at myself in the mirror.
"It's Perfect." I cheered, "I'll take it"
The man smiled
"Great!"
I walked back into the change room and I got my things back on. When I walked out Josh was standing right there.
"I didn't like that" Josh mumbled
"Relax, he's not, how do I put this, into girls…"
"That's probably what you want him to think."
I shook my head and got to the counter. The man ringed it in and we paid for it. He put it in the bag and smiled
"Have a nice day!"
"Ha" Josh mumbled as we walked away
I looked over and hit him in the stomach.
"Shut. Up."
We walked back though the mall and Josh had his arm around me. I shook my head and kept walking until we got to the car.
"Remind me never to go with you to do that again!" He stated, "That was so uncomfortable, I could have hit him."
"Oh, I'm sure." I said sarcastically
I drove us back to the apartment so we could eat and get our stuff ready. I got in the doors and went right to the bathroom. I got the suit on and stood there to try to fix my hair. Some parts of my hair wasn't on the right side. It finally straightened it to the right side and started on my makeup. I washed my face and started putting the waterproof makeup on. I heard a slight movement close by. I looked over and Josh was standing there leaning against the door.
"Watcha doing?" He giggled
"Makeup." I answered
"I wish you could see how incredible you are." He said lovingly
"I think you're full of it."
"Awe, no. Why would you think that?"
"No reason, are you ready to go?"
"Yep, all set."
"And that's what you're wearing…"
"Um, yea." He mumbled
"You do know it's a beach right?"
"Yep!"
"And you're completely aware that you're wearing skinny jeans and a sweatshirt?"
"Yea."
"I'm forcing you into the water, so unless you want those pants smelling like the ocean, you'd better change."
"We'll see about that!"
I finished up and we loaded our stuff into the car. It wasn't much longer until we got to the beach. I jumped out of the car and walked around back to get the blanket. We walked out and I found a nice sunny spot. I took my shoes off and laid them on the blanket. I started walking towards the water. The sand was so warm and fine. I looked back and I saw Josh getting ready to sit down on the blanket. I turned around and started walking back towards him.
"You're getting in the water"
He shook his head and laid down, getting comfortable. He had his Coke 0 and his $400 dollar sunglasses on. I stood at the edge of the blanket
"Get up"
"Make me." He teased
"Fine."
I quickly grabbed his half drunken coke and ran towards the water. I was half way there and he had managed to get up and start walking towards me. I ran more, into the water. It was warm, not too cold. I got about knee deep and looked around at him again. He was just getting to the water's edge. I held the coke from the cap and put the bottom of it into the water.
"Come get it." I smiled
"No, give it back, you've crossed the line." He said sternly
I shook my head and grabbed the cap and undid it. I tipped the coke bottle slowly, as if to spill it into the water
"Don't you dare." he warned
"Oh, but I will."
The coke inside slowly got closer to the cap and started to drip out.
"No!" Josh wined
He put one foot in the water, still just staring at the coke.
"Come and get it."
He took another step forward and started for me. I stopped pouring the coke in the water and smiled at him. Then all of a sudden he came right at me. Fast. I ran as fast as I could, which wasn't fast enough. He grabbed onto me, and the coke. I got out of his grip and kicked some water at him. He squeaked and kicked some at me. I backed away trying to get the water of myself. Josh put his hand in the water and grabbed something. He lifted it up and moved closer to me. It was a piece of seaweed. I screamed and ran out of the water. I got to the shore, fully soaked. Josh followed and got out of the water.
"Don't." I begged, "Please"
Everything stopped and he put the seaweed down. He came towards me and took my hand. In his other hand still was his beloved coke. We were both soaked but he was wearing his clothes. We walked along the beach for a bit. I shook my head
"What?" He asked
"You and your frigging coke."
He laughed, "It's my addiction."
"I can see that, and the sunglasses?"
"Yea, I'm not so good with money. In case you haven't noticed." He smiled wide
I giggled and kept walking. It was beautiful out. The sun was high and hot. I could feel its rays on my shoulders. We turned around and started walking the opposite direction towards our things. It was quiet, we dint say much. We got closer to our things and by this time Josh had almost consumed the whole coke. I felt Josh's hand grow tighter until he turned around and looked down at me. He lifted his hand and moved it through my hair. He kissed me, but something was wrong. It wasn't right, I could tell. He then hugged me, close.
"What is it?" I asked curiously
"Nothing,"
He hugged me closer
"Josh?"
I pushed away and looked at him. He was staring behind me, into the distance.
"Is there something there?"
I stared at him; I didn't want to look back.
"Josh?"
He shook his head and we kept walking. This time he put his arm around my waist, pulling me closer and closer. I kept hearing people behind us and I figured that was what he had been looking at. I turned around to see a large group of jocks. It felt like high school all over again. They saw me look back and the one in front whistled. Josh pulled me closer once again and we kept walking, almost at a fasted pace now. The men were tall, the typical jock, only probably our age. Josh and I got closer to our blanket and I sat down when we got there. The guys stayed a distance away, but not too far so they could still watch us.
"Are you going to sit down?"
He sat down beside me and just looked at me. I smiled and just stared at our face. I wanted to laugh because it was almost as if he was intimidated by them, but it wasn't that. He almost looked sad. I didn't even care that there were people behind us, I focused on him, and I needed to figure out what was wrong.
"Do you want to leave?" I asked
"No, I mean," he paused
"Kinda, but if you want to stay, er, I wanted to take you out here and have a good time but,"
He stopped; I looked at him and smiled.
"We can go, I don't mind."
I stood up and Josh got up as well. He picked up all the other things we brought to the beach, like the towels and coke.
"I'll get the blanket and meet you at the car." I said
He walked over and kissed my forehead. It still wasn't right though, it seemed he was doing this to make sure those stupid jocks knew we were together. Still, I felt a smile grow on my face and I knelt down again to fold up the blanket. The sun was still warm on my shoulders until someone touched it. I turned
"Hey babe." Said the jock
He was tall, like Josh, short hair. It almost seemed as if he worked out everyday, he was buff. I didn't respond.
"S'at your boyfriend?" He asked
"Yea," I stated, "What do you want?"
I was starting to get upset. They had been bothering Josh and I and I just wanted them to go away.
"Ew." He mumbled
"What? What's wrong with him?"
"Oh, nothing, if your into fat girls." He pestered
"Excuse me? You wanna say that again?"
As I yelled I stepped closer and closer to his face, even on my toes. I stepped back and looked to see if Josh was coming back at all.
"You know what?" I screamed, "You've got a lot of ball coming here and just attacking him like that!"
The jock turned to look at his friends, watching contently.
"Ohhh damn, that's hot."
He smiled and went to put his arm around me.
"Get off me!"
I pushed his hand away, and started walking away.
"You are sick! No girl would ever fall for you! Discussing!"
At this point I was screaming and people were looking. I took a beep breath and started to walk back to the car where I knew Josh would be waiting. As I walked he hummed. I turned once more.
"Shut the fuck up and leave me alone!" I yelled
I passed back but noticed Josh walking towards me just as I finished yelling. I walked towards him and he was watching the jock walk back, furious. Josh started to walk past me and go to talk to him; I grabbed his arm and pulled him closer.
"It's not worth it" I mumbled
"Did he hurt you" Josh said firmly
"No, I'm fine." Leave him."
Josh came closer and hugged me. He was still facing the jocks, probably giving them a dirty look.
"Lets go" I whispered
Please please REVIEW! :)
