Sweetest Sin

The water splashed against me and my board, standing in the water, just my toes. I heard footsteps through the sand and I figured it was Isabel. I was about to turn around when whoever it was jumped on my back.

"Whoa, hey…" I turned around and saw that in not only wasn't Isabel, it was Erika. "Wow, surprise, surprise, what's going on Erika" she smiled. "I know we don't get to hang out much any more but I figured we could do something later, together…just the two of us" I was dumbfounded as I stood there, did she just ask me out? "Uh sure, that'd be great, how about tonight" she nodded, took my hand and pulled me into the water.

"Okay, I'll do your lessons for today, Isabel wanted to take a break she didn't feel so good" I smiled, I knew this was all Izzy's idea, I knew she said something to make Erika change her mind and it worked, and I loved her to death for it.

After lessons, it was around 2:30 and I was getting tired. "Okay, Isabel will be here tomorrow but now…go ahead and get ready, change and whatever you need and we'll meet at…how about I just meet you at the beach…maybe we don't go public just yet since I don't know how many people would…." I finished her sentence, "Approve, I know…I'll see you tonight, bye" I waved bye kissed her on the cheek and ran off to my house.

"Aunt Ava, I'm going out ok" she nodded and just as I thought I was off the hook she turned, "Where to" I shrugged. "The beach then to like bowling or something with Lucas, I'll be back around 11, I have my cell, bye" I waved and ran out of the house before she had a chance to respond.

I spotted Erika on the beach, she had on a long skirt that was waving in the wind along with her hair, and she was wearing a short pink top. "Hey Erika" she took my hand in hers and kissed me on the cheek. I almost blushed just thinking about how long I've wanted even as something simple as a hug from Erika, but now…I wasn't too happy.

After the movies we went to dinner then walked down the beach, hand in hand, talking. "So Erika, uhh not to kill the moment, but what made you change your mind" she looked down to the floor at her feet, and sighed. "Bradin…I've always liked you, and I guess I needed to get over my own fear of what would happen if I was with you before I did anything about it" I stopped and so did she. She turned towards me and our faces inched closer together, but I wasn't the one to close the gap, she was, she leaned over and her lips met mine. Her kiss was so sweet, just like I imagined it but maybe not as amazing, okay not even close. I stood on the rock, kissing Erika and the only person I could think about was Isabel, had I gotten over Erika and fallen for Isabel, I couldn't believe it. Maybe now I knew what I wanted, and somehow it was always what I couldn't have. I pulled away from her and stared into her eyes. I kissed her again and then turned around, waved bye, and left the beach.

The night was long, I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that Erika just KISSED ME, and all I cared about was Isabel. I finally started realizing that I wanted Isabel not Erika, things had changed, but I couldn't have her, and just as I thought about it, a tear almost slid down my cheek. I was tossing and turning in my bed for 2 hours, I finally fell asleep and dreamed about Isabel' kiss, not Erika's, which was something new for me.

(Isabel's P.O.V)

It was really hard, setting Bradin up with Erika and falling for him myself and not being able to do anything about it. After the date we sat up all night talking, actually…I was listening to Erika talk about how amazing, how sweet, and how talented Bradin was, with no idea how much I liked him, or how much I had my teeth clenched the entire time saying, "I'm happy for you, I really, really am"

I went down to the beach the next morning and Bradin was already there, surfing. I watched, he had gotten really good, the first competition was in 3 weeks and I needed him as ready as possible. After watching for a few minute, I walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder. He had been standing in the sun last few minute and just looking out across the ocean. "Hey" he jumped.

"Whoa, didn't mean to scare you, sorry" he smiled, I had never seen him so happy to see me. "Hey Isabel, so glad you're hear, uhh I got good new for you" I looked at him, "Same here, you first" he smiled and placed his hands over my elbows and then just turned towards the surf shop and pulled me. "Okay, Jay said he needs help, since when the competition gets here, it's going to be impossible, he'll pay you and everything, and you get to work with me and him, isn't that great" I sighed, I was happy but working 24/7 with Bradin was something I don't think I could handle.

"Awesome, thanks so much Bray, now my news, okay well since the competition is in a little while I got a few judges here to just test you out and see if you need any improvement on anything specific, they're old friends of mine" his face lit up. "Awesome, you're amazing, thanks so much, so uhh….when are they coming" I checked my watch. "Uh, they'll be here sometime tomorrow, but now we need to open up the shop let's go" we ran to the shop, each lost with our own happy news, maybe I did need some time with Bradin, maybe I'll get over him, maybe I'll have a chance over Erika then, wait who was I kidding I didn't want a chance over Erika I was glad she was happy and so was Bradin, I didn't want to ruin it…right?

That day I was walking to the surf shop after stopping at home for a snack. I came closer and noticed through the door that was wide open that Bradin had Erika against the counter and one of his hands was interlocked with hers and the other was under her shirt, resting on her stomach. I was about to turn around and walk away, this sent a burning through my chest but I saw Jay coming and thought I'd save them.

"Hey you two break it up now" I said briskly, Erika turned red and Bradin snatched his hand back quickly then sighed looking at me. "Jay's coming in, be glad I didn't turn at the door as I had planned and I came in here and saved your asses, you both know you'd be dead if I hadn't" Bradin smiled, "Yeah, thanks" Erika was already gone, she had left through the back.

"Okay, well we're going to sign up, Jay, take care of the shop we'll be back in like 20 minutes, promise" I took Bradin's hand and led him over to the judges table where you sign up.

Night came quickly and since I was really mad, sad, and happy all at the same time, I decided I'd go surf, it was what always helped me cope. I came outside and taking my surfboard in my hand I went over to the best place and placed my board into the water. After the first wipeout I completely relaxed and let my body get washed back up on shore, I just laid there, thinking, breathing slowly, and trying to relax.

"Hey, are you okay" I jumped and turned around; Bradin was kneeling in the sand beside me. "Uh yeah, just relaxing" I got up and picked up my board and started walking down to the surf shop to leave it so I won't have to take it home, Bradin followed. I walked inside and heard the door close behind us, Bradin was leaning against it. "Uh, we going to leave" he nodded, "Yeah, but I have to show you something first" he flipped a light switch and the light came on, along with music. "Can I have this dance" I nodded and took his hands.

We danced for quite a while, enjoying each other's company, before we noticed that the song had ended. "I don't want to move from here ever" he whispered. He leaned down and our lips met… so sweet. This was so wrong on so many levels, but we were both so into it we didn't care, it no longer mattered.

He moved from my lips down my chin and started kissing my neck. I sighed, leaned my head back to let him. His hands had started wondering up my shirt and I knew I should have stopped him, but didn't. He picked me up and carried me to the back, with one hand he threw a blanket onto the floor and placed me on it. He started unbuttoning my pants but I stopped him. "What are you doing Bradin…?" I opened my eyes and looked at him, he was avoiding my gaze, he knew he did something wrong. "I…" he sighed and moved away from being on top of me to sitting up. I pulled my shirt back on the right way and buttoned up my pants.

"To me it doesn't matter what we do, I care about you Isabel, not Callie, not Sarah, NOT ERIKA…you" I looked down at the floor and kicked a small rock out of the way. "Sorry Bradin, but it just doesn't work like that…you had your chance you blew it, you have Erika now, isn't that what you want" he shook his head. "I want you" I felt tears about to come down my face but before I had a chance to stop them, they were coming in streams. "I'm sorry…I can't" I turned around and ran through the back door, grabbed my stuff, and ran up to my room.

I lay in my bed, thinking. Kissing Bradin was amazing, like fireworks and volcanoes and earthquakes erupted in my body, all at once. It was so heated, it felt so amazing, I would have gone all the way but luckily I stopped myself. Jay would have a sight to see when he came to the shop in the morning. I fell asleep, still feeling Bradin's hands running over my body, caressing my face and my sides, tickling me. Kissing him was so wrong, but felt so good, it was like nothing was wrong in the world, and I knew I definitely had feelings for him, but we couldn't. He was Erika's now, she was so happy with him, and I couldn't ruin it. Our kiss was so sweet, so wrong, a sin, The Sweetest Sin.
