The summer holidays had finally come around and nearly everyday for the first week he had been stuck at home on the couch watching past episodes of Sex in the City (which he secretly kinda enjoyed.) Even Jay couldn't get him to come surfing.
This particular sunny California day was too sunny for his liking. He was sweating like a pig but couldn't be bothered to walk down to the beach. Lucas had invited him to one of his wild parties that night but he didn't think he would go. What was the point when he had no one to take?Derrick rushed inside and threw himself at Bradin.
"Please will you take me and Martha to the beach. Aunt Ava won't let us go without supervision" he begged.
Bradin heard Ava call out some kind of desperate plead from upstairs and peeled himself off the sofa.
"I guess I could take my board down for a while," he said half-heartedly to a pleased Derrick.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bradin kneeled in the sand and waxed his board, watching Derrick and Martha run into the water holding hands out of the corner of his eye. Everyone around him seemed to be in some romance.
Earlier he walked past Nikki and Cameron heatedly making out on her bed and shot them a warning glance, Ava and Johnny were back together, Erica and Jay were happily surfing beside one another and even Derrick had found young love.
He hadn't kissed a girl for a month, let alone satisfied a growing, aching urge. He had to get some and fast, without ruining his reputation again.
"Can I borrow your board wax" he heard an unfamiliar girl's voice ask.
He looked up and was almost blown backwards by what he saw. She was stunning.
As his eyes traveled up her body he noticed long, tanned legs, J.Lo style curves, a toned stomach and way over average shaped chest. Long golden brown curls framed her face and delicate, pretty features.
"Sure" he replied quickly, with a cheeky smile spread across his face and eyes wide open.
She plonked herself down beside him and bit her lip. "I'm Michelle" she said and before he could open his mouth to speak she said "Bradin right."
How does she know my name he thought to himself, nodding his head in reply.
"You've made a name for yourself inside the teen, female population of Playa Linda. You're hot and on the market apparently."
He shook his head in embarrassment and laughed.
Michelle picked up the wax and started seductively rubbing it across her board, flashing him sexy smiles. She knew she was turning him on and loved it.
"You wanna come to a party tonight" he asked.
"I'd love to" she said grinning to herself.
"I'll pick you up at 8:00 at…"
"Behind you, 356 beachside avenue" she said, turning around and pointing to a modern, huge mansion.
Bradin raised his eyebrows in disbelief and she nodded.
"Now, are we going to go surfing" she asked and they both ran for the water.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What's lifted your spirits?" asked Ava.
"Nothing much" Bradin called out as he got ready to go to Lucas's party with a huge grin on his face.
"A girl" Jay whispered to her and Ava sighed something like "here we go again."
As Bradin ran out the door Jay stood in his way.
"No drugs, alcohol and if you have to, stay safe" he warned, throwing him a silver foil package.
"Thanks" Bradin said, rolling his eyes and continuing his sprint out the door.
How was that? Review and I'll keep writing.
