Chapter 9

After a full day at the beach, everyone went to the beach house to prepare for a night of fun. There were flyers being passed out at the beach about a party and they decided to go. Eric and Taylor were going to stay the night with everyone else after the party.

The girls getting ready

"Oh my god! Eric is soooo cute," gushed Mimi.
"Yeah," agreed Belle. "But he doesn't even compare to Shawn."
"I am really glad you two got together. I'll admit, I was a little jealous at first, but now, I am so happy for you."
"Thanks Mimi. I hope you find happiness, too. Maybe you'll find it with Eric."
"God, I hope so."
"You hope what?" asked Chloe as her and Taylor walked into the room.
"Nothing. Did you get all the stuff you need, Taylor," asked Mimi, not really wanting Taylor to know she has a thing for her cousin.
"Yeah, thanks for letting me stay here tonight."
"No problem."
"You know Mimi, I think my cousin likes you."
"Omg! Did he say that?" asked Mimi getting excited.
"No, but I can tell. He couldn't keep his eyes off of you."
"Well, just wait until he sees me tonight."

The Guys getting ready

"So, you guys know what to do?" asked Shawn.
"Yeah, man. Everything will be great," said Phillip, trying to reassure his friend.
"But, one thing could go wrong." said Brady.
"What's that?" asked Eric. Shawn also filled Eric in on the plan, after all, if he gets together with Mimi then they can officially consider him 'one of the guys'.
"Well, if Shawn here decides to try anything on my sister while they are alone, I have to rearrange his face, and that could ruin the evening."
"Don't worry. I respect Belle way too much to try anything on her." assured Shawn.
"Good, cause I'd hate to have to kill my own cousin."
The guys were looking good. Shawn was wearing white, baggy jeans; a black, silk, button-up shirt with sleeves that just make it to his elbows and he had his hair spiked up with gel. Phillip had a blue button-up shirt and black, baggy pants. Brady was wearing a tight black shirt that showed off his muscles and tight black jeans. Eric was wearing white shorts that go down to his knees and a red button-up shirt.
The guys were waiting for about 45 minutes for the girls when the finally were ready but, it was well worth their wait because when they saw the girls their jaws dropped.
