Chapter 7

Phillip walked to Taylor's beach house and knocked on the door. When she answered Phillip's jaw dropped. Taylor had her hair hanging over her shoulders, and she was wearing a small, black, bikini top and short, black shorts.
"Uh, hi," Phillip managed to choke out.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Everyone headed down to the beach and I thought you might like to join us."
"I'd love to. Let me just get my towel." Taylor disappeared and Phillip let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. Damn, she looks hot, thought Phillip as Taylor reappeared.
"Okay, I'm ready."

When Phillip and Taylor got to the beach it took them about fifteen minutes before the spotted Belle, Chloe, and Mimi lying on their towels getting a tan.
"Hey, where's the guys?" asked Phillip.
"In the water," answered Belle.
"Don't tell me you girls plan on spending the whole day getting a tan."
"Well, that is why us girls came to Florida, to get a tan," answered Mimi.
"Well, I'm with them," said Taylor while lying on a towel next to Mimi.
"I'm going to join the guys. See you later."
"Good, time for girl talk," said Chloe once Phillip was out of earshot. "How did you and Shawn get together, Belle"
"What? Belle, you and Shawn are together. I want all the details. I thought you two were just friends," said an excited Taylor.
"Well, we were just friends."
"Friends who flirted constantly and never took your eyes off each other," corrected Chloe.
"Okay, Okay. Well, this morning while Shawn an I were in the kitchen I spotted a bag of flower on the counter that I used to cook waffles with -"
"You cooked?" Interrupted an astonished Mimi.
"Yes, I cooked. There are things I can cook you know. Now if you'll let me get beck to my story."
"Sorry, go ahead."
"Well anyways, I just couldn't resist and I dumped flour on his head. He ended up chasing me into the living room, then tickling me and then he kissed me."
"Awe," said Mimi, Taylor, and Chloe in unison.
"And then, he told me that he love me," finished Belle as her friends smiled, happy that Shawn and Belle were Happy together.
Mimi was upset at first because Shawn was her first crush and now he is dating her best friend, but then she saw how happy Belle was and Mimi couldn't help but be happy for her. Now I am the only one who has to find someone, thought Mimi.


".......And then she told me that she loved me back," Shawn told his curious friends.
"Well, it's about damn time," said Phillip.
"Just a word of warning, hurt my sister and I'll hurt you ten times as bad," warned Brady who had gone into protective brother mode. To Brady, no one would be good enough for his sister. Not even Shawn, even though it was obvious to everyone that they were meant to be.
"I swear to god that I will never hurt Belle," promised Shawn.
"Good," said a satisfied Brady.
"I want to do something special for her though. Show her how much I love her, you know."
"If you are thinking of-"
"Relax Brady," interrupted Shawn. "I care about Belle way too much to try and push her into anything. I have another surprise for her but I'll need your help."
"What do you want us to do?" asked a curious Phillip.
"Well...."
"I am going to take a swim. Anyone want to come," Mimi asked the girls who were still sun bathing.
"Nah, I want to stay right here," answered Chloe and Belle and Taylor agreed with her.
"Suit yourselves," said Mimi and she took of down the beach. Not really watching where she was going, she bumped into someone and would of fell over if he hadn't grabbed her by the waist to steady her and she grabbed his shoulders.
"I am so sorry," said Mimi and when she looked up she was looking into the eyes of the most gorgeous guy she has ever laid eyes on.
