I'm going to another vacation on Thursday, so I won't be updating for a while! Enjoy this last chapter before I go!

Chapter2

"I don't believe it. Kel, I know you are in love with Dom, but you can't have him. He is mine and I wish you could stop lying to get him." Yuki said in determination after a while of silence when Kel told what she saw in the mall. "After all, we were friends."

"What do you mean 'were'? Are we still are?" Kel demanded, near to tears.

"No if you are doing this to me in order to get my Dom!" Yuki said in disgust.

"Look Yuki, even if you don't believe me, I believe what I've heard. I'm through with him and I'm not about to give up our friendship because of a boy." Kel managed a smile. "Can't we be friends again and I swear, I'll keep my hands or eyes off him."

Shinko giggled, and Yuki managed a small smile. "If we are going to be friends, we mustn't fight. You have to promise Dom is all mine."

"He is all yours." Kel promised.

"Sound like you guys are trading something rather than mending a friendship over a boy!" Shinko said.

All girls laughed. However, Kel's heart ached because Yuki wouldn't believe her, they were friends, right? And friends trust each other, they believed one another! Yuki would learn her lesson soon enough. Then, she would have no doubts ever again about Kel.

"Are we still in for a relaxed afternoon at the beach?" Yuki asked.

"Are you saying that because you look forward to see that handsome lifeguard again?" Shinko teased.

"See, you admitted yourself that he is handsome!" Yuki pointed out.

"He is, any girls can say the same thing, but if I were my ma, she would say, 'if that man has no brain behind those pasted-on charms, he isn't the man for you!'" Shinko said.

"Hey, are you saying that Dom got no brain? Because I can tell you right now that he got plenty of them!" Yuki protested and acted as if she was hurt by that remark.

"Come on girls, we have a sunny afternoon ahead." Kel said as she gathered up her things.

"Just remember, no more swim for you missy." Shinko teased.

"Yah, you don't want to be chased by that same shark again!" Yuki smiled. "If I needed to be saved, Kel, don't get me. It's time to show why are those lifeguard being paid so highly…"

"Don't worry; I won't go near the ocean for a while. My head still sore from yesterday." Kel informed them.

Laughing, the three girls linked their arms and headed to the beach for another relaxing afternoon.

Quickly, Dom stripped down his nice suite and put on the lifeguard t-shirt over his head. Raina had wanted kisses after kisses. At last, he forced his way to the beach in a trot, still sparing three more minutes for him to change.

One more minute. He grabbed the whistle and headed out to take his shift. Breathing the sea air, he calmed himself down a little before he reached the stand.

"Hey Dom, right on time. How was your date?" Owen said with a smirk.

"You really don't like her do you?" Dom said accusingly.

"Now, now, now, when did I say that?" Owen asked innocently.

"It's written all over your face, Mr. Jolly!" Dom said as Owen slowly climbed out of the chair and stretched.

"Not fair! You always get the exciting things, girls…sharks…people drowning…actions… excitement…adventures. I haven't moved a muscle on my shift yesterday or today! And man, some action we had there, yesterday! It's all so jolly for you." Owen said admiringly, "I blamed it on your good luck!"

Dom laughed. However, as Owen mentioned yesterday, he couldn't stop thinking about that girl. What was she doing right now? Did she even remember him? Will she make herself available today as yesterday she had?

Dom scanned the water surface after he climbed on to the chair, everything seemed alright, and he went back to his thinking.

That girl was so lovely; he couldn't keep his eyes off her. Although he should be gazing and thinking only about Raina and their wedding, but she was a different kind of beauty, a beauty hiding inside of her, not at the outside like Raina. 'Too bad I didn't even think about asking her for her name. No, you can't have anything to do with her, or anybody else, like that girl…what was her name? Oh yes, Yuki.' Yuki was the kind of girl his meathead cousin would want for a bride, 'hey there was an idea, why don't I introduce her to Meathead? That will save me a lot of trouble trying to get that girl like other guys without hurting her feelings. I could…'

Dom had no more time to plan as a scream interrupted his thoughts. 'Rats, I should have spotted trouble before it actually happened; I just hope I wouldn't get fired for this.' Dom thought uneasily as he scanned the horizon. No sharks. Then, he looked at the water closer to the shore, there, a figure was waving wildly. He was not sure why that girl was screaming, the water couldn't be past her stomach at the most. However, Dom went to her anyways.

Wading into the water, he arrived at the girl's side. One look on her face told her she had faked the whole thing, but he picked her up and carried her to the shore anyways. It was the girl who had dragged him away yesterday. Yuki, the girl he was about to introduce to Neal, the only meathead in his family. When he picked her up, she smiled sweetly at him and said in a quiet voice. "Thank you for saving my life."

It was all Dom could do from giving Yuki an ungentlemanly like snort. Life? She was not even close to drowning. She could stand up and half of her would still be above the water. "My pleasure, ma'am." Dom said politely instead.

"No need to call me ma'am. Yuki, remember?" She battered her lashes so fast that Dom thought for a minute that something was in her eyes instead of she was flirting with him.

As he put her down on the sandy beach, he heard laughter nearby. Glancing up, he saw two girls rolling around the sand, holding their stomach, laughing their heads off. What could be so funny? "Don't mind Kel and Shinko, they are my friends." Yuki had obviously saw Dom looking and miraculously, she changed from fake coughs to fake smiles and tug his arm to go the other way. However, Dom wasn't paying attention. He had just caught the girl he was dreaming about all day.

"Who's that?" He asked, pointing out the tall girl with hazel, dreamy eyes.

"Oh, her. Her name is Keladry, we call her Kel. However, let's don't mind her; would you like a walk up beach with me?" Yuki asked sweetly.

"Sorry, I've got work to do. But I would gladly escort you to see a friend of mine. No, lets put it this way. A cousin of mine and after yesterday, I told him all about how sweet you are, he was very eager to meet with you. How about I meet you here in exactly half an hour?" Dom suggested.

"You did? Oh that's so sweet, Dom. I'd love to." Yuki said and quickly gave him a peck on the cheek.

"Um..Yes…I've got a job to do. See you in half an hour." Dom said.

Yuki just giggled and walked up to join her friends on the beach.

Dom watched her as she left. Kel, what a lovely name. He was still dreaming about Kel as he slowly climbed up onto the chair once again.

As some of us knew already, we are forbid to answer our reviewers in the chapter anymore. So I'll try to answer some in the author's notes. Well, I certainly hope you enjoyed this chapter. Yuki was acting a little bit weird because she was in love. (So was Dom.) As you can see, I'll bring Neal into the picture really soon. Kel was semi conscious when Dom did the rescue breathing. After all, it was just a hit on the head. So that's how Kel remembered his lips. Hope you would stick around to read that! Plz review if you've read this, I'd love to hear from you.

Reviews at the bottom.

Thanks

Again, reviews would really be lovely if you've read this…I hope to see you telling me ideas soon!
