SUMMER 4
God last summer was insane. Once I get past the whole being stuck to my parents all day…..Craig and I had sex every single day. I mean I wasn't trying to but it just happened. I got to try out some new positions which were nice. He was trying to find my prostate but we didn't have much luck. The internet is not as helpful as you think. God, I can't wait to see him.
"God that was a long drive," said Clyde stepping out of the rented van.
"But we got to bond!" exclaimed Mom. I'm use to this long 10 plus drive. My parents allowed my two friends Clyde and Token to come this year. I'm glad because this year we're going to be seniors. I'm super excited to finally be done with school and be able to focus on other things. We grab our bags heading up to our floor. We head inside and I show them where they will be staying.
"So you guys will be staying in this room," I say opening the door. Clyde walks inside looking around as does Token.
"This is pretty cool," said Token. "It looks so cozy."
"It's pretty much like a second home to me," I admit. "I'm going to go put my stuff up really quick."
"Oh!" exclaimed Clyde. "I want to see your room!"
"Alright," I chuckled. Token and Clyde follow me to my room. It's a lot smaller than the room with the twin beds but I don't mind at all.
"Awww," said Clyde. "You don't have a TV."
"I'm okay without it," I replied. "I mostly use my laptop when I'm here anyway."
"Yeah, speaking of," said Token. "When are we going to meet Craig?" I turn away opening my bag to hide my smile at the mention of his name.
"Tomorrow," I reply. "Mom and dad want us to spend the day together here first."
"I didn't think it mattered," stated Clyde leaning against the wall. I can't tell them I was missing hours on end because I was having sex with Craig last summer.
"I think they're trying to stay close to me because it's senior year," I explain. "I guess it's that oh my baby is going to be going to college stage." The guys laugh.
"So true," said Token before chuckling. "God my dad won't shut up about Princeton."
"But you don't want to go to Princeton," states Clyde.
"That doesn't stop him from bringing it up," said Token rolling his eyes. "Anyway, can we at least go to the beach today?" My ears perk up. Genius! Why didn't I think of that? Craig can meet us on the beach.
"You know Tweek hates the water," said Clyde.
"I do but I'm down for going to the beach," I reply. "Let me tell my parents."
"Alright!" exclaimed Clyde walking back into the room. I know his horny ass is ready to find some girl on the beach that is totally into him. Shouldn't be too hard for him to do. I walk to my parent's room knocking on the door.
"You doing okay Tweek?" asked dad.
"Yeah," I replied. "The guys wanted to go to the beach. Is that okay?"
"Of course it is," smiled mom. "At least you guys will be close by."
"In fact," said dad. "I think we will join you." I feel my plan in my mind falling apart, nooooo!
"Are you sure?" I asked. "I-I mean don't you want to rest up after that drive?"
"He is right dear," said mom. "We don't need you drowning."
"Hmmm….." said dad. "Alright, we will join you guys tomorrow on the beach."
"Okay," I reply grinning like crazy. "I got my key, we will see you guy in time for dinner."
"We're going at 5 today," said mom. "I'm going to need that fuel when we wake up."
"Okay," I say again not caring. I get to see Craig. I don't text him when I get to my room, I call him. The phone doesn't even ring once before he is answering.
"Hey!" exclaimed Craig.
"Hi," I reply. Just hearing his voice put a smile on my face. "So you know how my parents wanted to hang close today."
"Yeah," he snorted. "I'm surprised you were able to even call me."
"Token and Clyde want to go to the beach and I got approval," I explain.
"I know you're not going swimming," said Craig.
"I'm willing to try…if you meet me on the beach."
"Are you fucking serious!" exclaimed Craig. I can't help but laugh.
"Yeah, I even brought swimming trunks," I explain. "My parents will be napping so it's safe for you to come." I'm blushing slightly and I haven't even seen him yet.
"I think I'm a bad influence on you," said Craig and I can see that damn smirk on his face.
"Whatever," I reply. "Hurry up."
"I'll be there," he replies. We end the call and I pull my blue trunks. I'm not huge of blue but Craig is. The trunks reminded me of his eyes so I had to have them. I put them on quickly while also putting on a tee shirt. I come out of my room and wait by the door for my friends. I finally see them come out.
"Gah, took you guys long enough," I reply.
"Didn't realize you were so excited to go to the beach," says Token. I don't say anything as I open the door and the guys follow me.
"I wish my dad could afford something like this," said Clyde. "I would always want you guys to come with me. I would be so bored without you guys."
"Right," said Token.
"It's not so bad," I reply. They're right though. If Craig was not here for the whole summer I would have died to have to go on these family trips. I'm lucky that his aunt owns that house across the street from us. We get on the beach and I'm immediately scanning the area for Craig.
"Good idea," said Token. "Let's find a spot."
"Y-yeah," I reply feeling stupid. I lead them down to where Craig and I went last summer when I got in the water. The guys set down their towels. "You guys go ahead….I need a few minutes."
"You sure?" asked Clyde. "I mean we can wait for you."
"No!" I exclaim. "I'm fine, it's fine, go ahead." Token looks like he doesn't trust it but agrees. I watch as him and Clyde head towards the water. Clyde is already pointing out some girls. I sigh once they are gone. I sit down on my towel looking around. Where the hell is Craig? The sun is beating down on me making me tired. I didn't sleep well in that van, it would have been different it was our car and not a rental. I continue to search the beach looking for Craig. I finally spot Craig in stride along with Red and Tricia. If not for Red I wouldn't have recognized Craig. He grew his hair out and it looks great blowing in the ocean breeze.
I feel like I stop breathing as our eyes meet. Craig starts to smirk and I notice he is walking faster leaving Tricia and Red behind carrying the beach umbrella. I stand up walking towards him without realizing it. I break out into a stride running towards him. We finally meet with our bodies crashing together. I wrap my arms around his neck holding him tightly. God, he even smells good. I bury my face into his shoulder as his arms wrap tightly around me. All these feeling bubbles up inside of me and I want to kiss him, I want to connect to those lips. I hear someone clear their throat. I pull away from Craig knowing I'm blushing like crazy. I see Red standing there with her arms folded.
"Hey there," I smile.
"Is that how it is Tweekers?" asked Red while Tricia giggles. Craig turns around giving Red a look. "I'm sorry, damn. Tweek."
"I didn't mean to offend you," I reply. "It's just nice to see Craig is all."
"I see," replied Red lifting her shades and looking off behind me. "Whoa, who is the babe?"
"Cutie," agreed Tricia. I turn to look as there are several people on the beach.
"Who?" I asked.
"Baby in the red trunks," said Red. "Just my color."
"Oh that's my friend Clyde," I replied.
"That's Clyde," said Red. "I don't recall seeing all that goodness in his profile picture." Craig gives Red this look and she rolls her eyes. "Where are you guys posted at so we can put up this umbrella."
"We are right here," I pointed towards our spot. Tricia and Red walk ahead of Craig and I chatting excitedly no doubt about Clyde.
"You look good," says Craig. "Blue is so your color." I blush looking down.
"Thanks," I replied. "Your hair, I swear you change it every year. This is the longest I have seen it." His hair is past his shoulders and appears to have layers. I'm sure it grew out that way because I can't see Craig going to a salon to get his hair cut. He laughs.
"My mom hates it," he said. "Whatever, I turn 18 in October and I can do what I want."
"Sure says the man who still lives under her roof," I replied.
"You got jokes," said Craig pushing me a little. "I'm glad I got to see you today."
"Me too," I replied. "We won't have long because my parents want us back to leave for dinner at 5."
"Well we should enjoy our time shouldn't we," smiled Craig. "I can't believe you're going to get in the water."
"Me too," I admit walking over to the area umbrella Red just set up. Tricia is already in the water swimming close to my friends.
"She is trying to get one up on me," said Red.
"What the hell are you talking?" questioned Craig.
"Tricia," said Red. "She is trying to move in on Clyde."
"She better slow her young ass down," said Craig. "I'm not taking shit from mom and dad if she gets knocked up and Clyde is too old for her." Red rolls her eyes.
"As if that is going to stop her," she said. "Tweek introduce me officially to your friends."
"Um okay," I reply feeling uncomfortable about the conversation.
We start walking toward the water and get nervous with each step. Craig stops when we get to the water. He turns back reaching his hand out to me like I'm a little kid. I take it as he leads me into the water. I see Clyde and Token making their way over to us. This makes me very happy because I'm not ready to go into the deep end.
"Wow," said Clyde getting closer. "I wish I had my camera, Tweek in ocean water!"
"Shut up!" I mutter feeling a little embarrassed although my friends know I hate the water.
"Craig," grins Clyde sticking out his hand. "I thought you would be taller than me."
"You trying to say something with that statement," said Craig shaking Clyde's hand. Craig is now 6 foot even and I'm now 5'8, I haven't gotten much taller. Clyde, on the other hand, is 6'3 and loves being taller than everyone. I'm not sure if it is a Clyde thing or a jock thing. "Token." Token shakes Craig's hand.
"It's nice to see you in person man," he says. "Who is this lovely lady?"
"Thank you for acknowledging me," smirked Red. "I'm Red Craig's cousin and that is Trisha his 16-year-old jailbait sister." Tricia folds her arms clearly upset that Red tossed her age out there. I can read Clyde's face clearly as he was interested in Tricia.
"You know you should be going after people your own age," stated Craig looking at his little sister.
"Stop talking to me like I'm some little kid," she hisses.
"Okay then," said Token. "We were all enjoying a nice swim so let's continue that. Will you be joining us Red or hanging back with Tweek and Craig?"
"Since you offered," smiled Red walking further into the water towards Token. I can tell Token likes Red a little. Token is always a gentleman but he usually will do a little more to get the attention of a girl he may be interested in. They leave us behind and I stand there holding Craig's hand still, he looks at me smiling.
