Hey, guys! I'm super happy for this chapter. Sorry to any fans disappointed with the Armin/Cliantha, but the next few chapters are going to be strictly that. Please enjoy this chapter! Oh, I've got a little poster idea: Keep Calm and Bear with Me! Lol!

P.S. This is one month after the two started dating and four months since Ken left.

P. P. S. The reason I'm skipping so many months is because we've got to move on to the important stuff quicker!


1 month later…


Armin and I sat together in the back off his parents' van. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell were taking us to the beach for spring break. I was practically part of their family now.

I was wearing a pretty dark blue sundress over a gray and white striped bikini with my gray sandals. I had my hair loose and wavy. Some plain black sunglasses were clipped to my dress.

Armin had on a button up off-white shirt with dark blue shorts that had sky blue flowers on the side. Alexy color-coordinated and wore a peach shirt with dark blue shorts that had orange flowers.

My boyfriend (it felt so good to say that) had his arm slung around my waist while my head was on his chest. I leaned up for a moment.

"Armin," I called in a whisper, since I didn't want to wake up a sleeping Alexy. He turned to me. "What are you gonna do on the beach?"

"I'm not sure." He whispered back. "Maybe we can set up some chairs and play Temple Run 2." I giggled a little at that.

"You can't just play video games at the beach. What about the ocean? The food?" I asked.

"We can get some of that, too." He said, smiling. I gave him my own smile and leaned up to kiss him. Our lips met in a gentle kiss. I moved my hand up to his hair, slender olive finger surrounded by black locks. His arms moved from my waist as his hands traveled around my back.

We arrived at the beach within twenty minutes. It seemed fairly crowded, but everyone was spaced out so it looked like there were few people.

"This looks like fun," I said as we got out of the car.


Okay sorry for the shortness, but I'll stretch this beach thing over the next two or three chapters!
