Bradin walked into his house after work to change and wash up before he headed to Kaitlin's. As he headed to his aunt's work room, he saw someone lying on the couch. He walked up to the end of the couch and saw Kaitlin there. She was sleeping. He walked to his aunt's work room and saw his aunt there.

"Why is Kaitlin here?" he asked her.

"She came over to talk about something that's been bothering her," Ava told her nephew.

"Why didn't she come to me?"

"She's scared to tell you, Bradin. She knows that you care about her. But, she needs you to wait until she's ready to tell you. She only told me because she knew me longer than anyone else here."

Bradin looked out at the couch and back to her aunt. "She talked to you about racing, didn't she?" he asked.

"Yes. Can you wait until she's ready to tell you?"

"I'll wait until she's ready, even if she's not here anymore."

Ava smiled. "You really do like her," she said.

"Who wouldn't?" he asked his aunt. "She's an amazing girl. I wouldn't change one hair on her head. I wouldn't change her smile, her personality, or who she is. She's not like any of the girls I know here."

Ava smiled again and hugged him. "She cares for you, Brae," she told him, "more than anything."

Kaitlin woke up on Ava's couch. She looked around and got blinded by the glare of the sun from the ground. She covered her eyes and looked around. As she sat up, she saw a note on the table in front of her and had her name on it. She picked it up.

"Hey Kaitlin,

"I hope you slept well. If you're reading this, I'm probably getting a surprise ready for you. When you're awake and feeling better, meet me at Spanish Cove. I'll be there waiting for your beauty to show.

Bradin"

Kaitlin rubbed her face and sat back on the couch. "How are you feeling?" she heard. She turned around and saw Ava standing behind the couch.

"I'm okay," she said standing up.

"Did you get the note from Bradin?" Ava asked.

"Yeah. I was going to head there now."

Bradin sat in the sand by Spanish Cove and finished getting Kaitlin's surprise ready.

"Bradin?" he heard. He knew it was Kaitlin. He stood up, looked over the rocks, and saw Kaitlin looking around for him. He smiled and walked up to her.

"Hey, baby," he said wrapping his arms around her.

"Hi," she said looking back at him. They kissed and he took her hands in his. He led her over the rocks and to where he was before.

"Close your eyes," he said.

"Why?"

"Please?" he asked pouting. She sighed and closed her eyes. Bradin smiled, took her hands in his again, and led her to her surprise. Kaitlin could feel Bradin guide her to wherever it was he wanted her. She was stopped and felt Bradin go behind her. "Open," he whispered in her ear.

She opened her eyes and saw a trail of red roses in the sand. She looked at him and back at the trail. "Follow it," he told her.

Kaitlin began to follow the trail of roses. She kept looking back at Bradin every few feet. He would always move slowly. She looked back in front of her and continued following the trail. She got to the ended and she saw everyone she knew from Playa Linda there.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" they yelled

Kaitlin looked at every one of them in shock. She completely forgot that it was her birthday. Everyone came up to and hugged her. Kaitlin turned and saw Bradin standing a few feet away from her smiling. She walked up to him.

"How did you know?" she asked.

"Your parents told me about it," he said taking her hands, "I thought that maybe this will make you smile and a little happy."

She smiled, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him on the lips.

"Thank you," she said.

"Hmm," he said, "maybe I should do this more often." He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her back.

"Get a room!" Jay yelled walking up to them as they started kissing.

They pulled away and laughed. Bradin pressed his forehead against hers and kissed her nose. They went off and talked to everyone that was there. Kaitlin's family was there and she hugged them.

"He's amazing," her mother whispered as they hugged. Kaitlin smiled.

Bradin watched as Kaitlin got hugged by everyone she knew. He smiled at how happy she became when she saw him do this for her. He walked up to his aunt who was sitting at a table nearby.

"Hi, sweetie," she said.

"Hey," he said sitting down across from her.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

"Yeah. I'm just really glad that she's happy."

"A lot of people are. We're all happy about what you did," Ava told her nephew, "Look at everyone. They're happy to see her smiling. It's all because of you."

Bradin smiled and felt arms go around his neck. "Thank you," the person said softly before kissing his cheek. His smile grew and he kissed her arms. She moved so she was sitting next to him. He looked at her and kissed her softly.

Hours passed and everyone began to head home. Kaitlin noticed that Bradin wasn't there anymore. She knew he had to be there because he would have said he was leaving. She walked and looked around to find him standing on the beach staring out at the water. She smiled and walked up to him. She walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. She saw him smile as he put his hands over hers. He turned around and stared into her eyes.

"I don't know how to thank you," she said.

He kissed her. He wrapped his arms around her as he added passion to the kiss. Kaitlin kissed him back and returned the same passion he gave her. She felt Bradin guide his tongue into her mouth and fight her tongue with his. After standing there for a few minutes, they pulled apart. Bradin put his forehead against hers and tightened his grip on her.

"Hey!" they heard, "Let's go!"

They smiled, kissed, and walked off to their homes behind their families.
