Thanks for the reviews! I thought this story wasn't going to even have reviews ever since I showed it to one of my cousins, and she said that it was boring…….well, hope you like this chapter! Worked long and hard for this chappy! As usual, ENJOY! (and review!)

Jasmine's POV

Bradin almost tore my whole arm off by the time we walked (:cough:dragged:cough:) to Tiki Squeeze! It was a nice place, and it looked a lot like some shops in Florida! At least we wouldn't have to eat our smoothies inside, where I swear I'm going to spill all over the floor! (I'm a klutz at heart, unfortunately!)

"So, what you wanna get?" Bradin asked me, running his hands through his hair. "A strawberry banana swirl, please." I told the cashier person. The guy just nodded his head and looked over at Bradin. "Orange and apple swirl, please." The guy started clicking all the number buttons, and finally looked up and said, "That'll be six dollars and fifty cents."

Bradin took out some money, handed it over to the cashier person, and looked over his name tag. "Here you go…..um, Kyle?" The guy just nodded his head, and replied, "Yeah, don't really like my name though. Sure would like to know this hot chick over here next to you, though." He wolf-whistled at me, as he handed over our smoothies. I've always hated guys that did that whistling, but he was pretty hot…..

I looked over at Bradin, who sure was steaming a whole fucking lot. He grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of that place, muttering something about wishing that Kyle guy was gay. "Um, Bradin, whats wrong?" I gave him a weird look, and he flashed his beautiful green eyes at me, and muttered, "That fucking damn guy that's what…." Wow, somebody's got an attitude problem………..

"Okay, Bradin, calm down. That guy wasn't even that hot!" I pointed out, as I dug my toes into the soft, squishy sand of the beach. He looked at me, and gave a small smile. "Me completely blowing up is a nice way of spending a day together, huh?" I sighed, and gave him a grimace. "Yeah, a VERY nice way!" "Maybe we should just start to know each other more……since we barely got anywhere last night!"

I nodded my head in agreement. "So…..I know this is a random question to ask but…….are you a virgin?" I questioned him. He blushed, and answered, "No, unfortunately. Lost it all to this person that was crazy and now is in a fucking boarding school." I soon felt this weird sudden flip in my stomach that felt like…….jealousy! Why the heck would I feel jealous! "How about you, you're a virgin?"

I looked up, and just answered, "No, I'm not……..Alex took it away." I stared into his eyes, and it looked as if they were full of flames! Why the heck would he be mad? There was soon a uncomfortable silence between us, and I was trying to figure out a right thing to say. "So……did you figure out what my secret was, or at least have a little clue?" There you go! I said something! His face was blank a little bit, but a grin soon spread across his face. "Nope, I forgot about that! Please can you tell me? Please please please please?" he kept on begging and giving the puppy eyes, which never actually worked on me before.

I rolled my eyes, and walked over to the ocean, letting the soft sand brush against my bare feet. I walked in until it was up to my knees, and I felt as if Bradin was behind me. I turned around and smiled. "The ocean always calmed me down every time I feel mad or out of the ordinary." I dipped my hands inside the cold, salty water, and felt all my worries wash away. I soon felt a tear trickle down my cheek. The worries of having no parents ever seeing me or even seeming to care were some of them. I suddenly felt a warm hand being placed over my shoulder, and a pair of olive green eyes met mine.

"Hey, I feel the same way, whenever I feel out of place or angry, too, just like you. We do have something in common." Bradin said softly, and I noticed that his face was really close to mine. So close, that I could maybe even……….kiss him. He brushed a piece of hair from my face, which made me blush. "You're beautiful, you know that?" I looked down, and just replied, "No, I'm not." He smiled, and leaned his face even closer to mine. "Yes, you are."

Everything that happened right then and there was a complete blur, and time and everything moving around us just seemed to stop. Bradin's lips brushed softly against mine, and I already felt my knees almost weaken. It was a soft and gentle kiss, but it still felt like the best thing I ever had received in my whole life. I soon kissed him back, and I could tell that he was happy that I did, for that he slipped his arms around my waist. I slipped mine around his neck, and I swear I never felt this happy before. He is such a sweet guy……. Maybe the only guy I actually cared about. But how can I have these feelings for him already, even though I just met him yesterday? Maybe it could be love at first sight…………

Then something suddenly slammed into my thoughts like a car crashing into a street pole.

Alex……….how can I be kissing Bradin while I'm still dating Alex? Man, I feel like a total slut!

I pulled away from the kiss, and I immediately regretted it. Bradin was staring at me with really sad eyes. "Why'd you pull away?" I stared back, and sighed. "Bradin, I'm still dating Alex. I'm sorry." He just stared at me, and slowly slipped his arms off of me, as I did to him. "Maybe, all we can ever be is……..friends." I spoke the last word softly, and I hated saying it, too. Bradin looked at the ocean, his eyes full of hurt, and soon slipped my hand into his. "But Jasmine, you have to promise me something." I looked up, for that he was taller than me.

"What?" I whispered.

"Promise me that," he paused a little bit, as tears trickled down his cheeks. "that you will give me a chance to be with you someday."

I just stared up at him, and after a long pause, I replied, "I promise."
