Kay guys. Chapter…14? Well technically 13 but with the authors note….oh whatever, who cares.
I woke up in the morning and stretched. I looked to the side, seeing Oliver wasn't there anymore. I gave my bed a puzzled look and decided to get up and check downstairs.
I rubbed my eyes and opened my door, heading downstairs. Oliver was nowhere to be seen, but there was a note. I picked it up, recognizing Oliver's handwriting in a second. Lils, Becca called at 10 and wanted me to go shopping. didn't wanna wake you. Love, Ollie.
I sighed deeply. It just had to be Becca. No, it couldn't be Tyler, or Dex, or Matt, or Saint Sarah for crying out loud! Or any of the other people I trusted. I went upstairs and changed into jeans and a tank top. I combed through my hair and checked the mirror.
I decided with low pigtails. I skipped the hat. Maybe I should start looking like a girl a little more. My phone started vibrating. It was Oliver. I didn't answer and began doing my make up.
It started vibrating again 5 minutes later. I sighed and turned it on silent, seeing it was Oliver again. After I had spent 45 minutes on my make up, I had to say I looked pretty damn good!
I headed to the beach. Maybe I could flirt with some surfer guy since Oliver moved on anyway. I put my make up, sun screen, cell phone, ipod, wallet, and my bikini (just in case) in my purse and put on my sunglasses and my shoes.
When I stepped outside the wintry wonderland had vanished. It was the regular Malibu heat again. I sat at a table near Rico's and people-watched. That's often what me and Oliver did at the mall or the beach.
I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned my head and saw Dex and some guy I hadn't seen before. "Sup Dex?" I said casually. He grinned at me. "Nothing much Lilly."
I stood up and faced them fully. I saw his friend elbow him in the ribs. "Oh, this is Derek. He just moved here from London." Dex said. I smiled at Derek. "Hi, nice to meet you." I said. "Nice to meet you as well." He said in an adorable English accent.
Derek and I just kind of stared at each other for a while. He was cute. Really hot actually. Dex cleared his throat. I snapped my head in his direction. "Wanna go surfing?" he asked. "Uhh…sure! I have to change first though." I answered, still slightly dazed.
I grabbed my purse and went into the bathroom. I am so lucky I picked my new black and red striped halter bikini. I put it on, making sure it wouldn't fall off. I walked out of the bathroom after making sure I had grabbed everything.
Derek and Dex were talking and I cleared my throat. They turned and their eyes went immediately to my cleavage. I waved my hand in front of their faces and their eyes snapped back up to my face.
They both stuttered awkwardly. I rolled my eyes and grabbed a board. They followed. There were good waves today. I caught a few with them but after about 5 I didn't feel like surfing. I paddled in and set my board in the sand. Dex was still out there, but Derek had followed me in.
"Hey." I said, laying down on my board. He grinned at me. "Hi," he answered back. He copied me and laid on his board next to me. He started to check me out and I pretended not to notice. I closed my eyes and sunbathed for about a minute.
"Lilly?" I heard a voice shout. I sat up and turned to see Oliver. Derek turned too. I realized Becca was trailing behind I rolled my eyes and plastered a smile on my face. I got up from the board. "Hey Oliver, Becca." I said, with tons of fake sweetness.
"Hey Lilly." said Oliver. Becca just waved. She checked her watch. "Ooh! I am so late! Bye Ollikins!" she chirped, kissing him much too deeply on the mouth. Derek ignored them. "So…Lilly. Wanna show me around?" he asked.
I smiled and nodded, pulling my clothes on over my already dry bikini. When I turned back to Oliver, he was still dazed. I shook my head at him. I slid in my sandals and took Derek's hand, leading him off the beach.
Next chap. will be the Derek's "tour".
