"I don't know," I replied, "Wait! Can we go cliff diving? SammyFace mentioned something about it."
Paul looked at me and smirked. "You sure you're up to little Southern Girl? It's a pretty big jump."
I rolled my eyes. These guys really didn't know me at all. "I've jumped off things higher than that cliff probably. And yes, I'm up to it. Just let me put on my bathing suit. You coming Kimmy?"
"Yeah. But I don't have a swimsuit with me and I don't feel like going all the way to my house to get one." She pouted.
"You can just use one of mine." She nodded. "Hey Em?"
"Yes sweetie?"
"Where's my stuff and room?" I hadn't seen my bags since I got here.
"Sam took your bags to your room. And your room is upstairs first door on the left." I thanked her and went upstairs with Kim. "You ever been cliff diving?" I asked her as I dug through my crap to find two bikinis.
"Yeah. I've went a couple times. But I always hold Jared's hand. It's scary."
"Ahha!" I yelled as I pulled two swimsuits out. One was a yellow polka dot one and the other was black and yellow. "You can wear the black and yellow one," I said as I threw it at her. We both hurriedly got dressed. The guys were already ready. I threw on some jean short shorts on top of the bottoms and a loose white tee on and Kimmy put her clothes she was already wearing on top of hers. We ran down stairs. The guys were already outside.
"Took you long enough." Embry said. I glared. Then I got confused.
"Where's Lee Lee and Quilyum?"
Jake answered me. "Uhm, Leah didn't want to come and Quil had to help his dad with uh, something." I nodded, not really believing him. We started walking and I realized the beach was pretty far from here.
"Sigh." I said, just loud enough so everyone could hear.
"What?" Seth asked.
"It's such a long walk."
"Suck it up." That was Paul.
"Shut up Paul, before I eat you." He just laughed. I ran full speed and jumped on Jake's back, as did Kimmy with Jared. I picked Jake for three reasons. 1) He was a very attractive person. 2) I wanted to know more about him. 3) He was the closest.
"Gosh Rainya! You could have gave me a warning."
"Why are you complaining? You caught me didn't you?" He rolled his eyes, but still carried me anyway. "So Jakey Poo, do you want to play twenty questions?"
"Sure, sure."
"Okay. Who's your bestest friend?"
"Ehh, either Quil or Embry." I kind or expected this. That's who he was sitting with in the living room, and he seemed comfortable with them. "My turn. What's your biggest fear?"
This was easy. I knew mine. (This really is my biggest fear, by the way.) "Birds."
He burst into laughter. "Birds? You're scared of birds? Hey guys, Rainya is scared of birds!" I wanted to hit him, but hey, they would have find out anyway. They all laughed at me, but Kim and Smiley were trying to hold it in. I respect them for that.
"You can laugh you two." That's all they needed.
"Don't worry Ray, I'll protect you from the big bad birds at the beach," Jake said.
"Ray?" I questioned. I never really had a nickname. I just gave them.
"What? You don't like it? Cause that's what I'm called you. I have a nickname, so do you. And I like it."
"No, I like it." And I did. Especially since Jake said it. I don't know why, but for some reason, I'm falling for him. Fast. And I usually don't do that. He smiled up at me. "Okay, um, who was your first love?"
His face darkened when I asked this. Maybe he still wasn't over her. The thought alone made my heart drop. "Her name was Bella Swan. I don't like her anymore, it's just that we went through a bunch of stuff and yeah. Who was yours?"
"Bryce Wells." There wasn't really much to say.
"You have feelings for him still?"
"No."
"Oh."
Awkward. "Do you think you could, you know, tell me what happened between you and Bella later?" I knew it wasn't really my business, but I wanted to know. She seemed to have broken his heart and I didn't like her already.
He took a deep breath and sighed. "Yeah. You deserve to know I guess."
By this time, we were at the beach. It was beautiful. I got off Jake's back and went to stand beside Kim. I picked my shirt over my head and took my pants off. I turned around when I heard Emmy Bear, Pauly, and Smiley laughing. They were laughing at Jake. "Dude, close your mouth." Paul said.
"Yeah, she still has a bikini on." Seth said.
"Unfortunately." I heard Embry mumble.
I hit him. "Emmy Bear! I am disappointed in you! Bad thoughts!" Kimmy laughed at me. I ran to the cliff. I heard footsteps following me. When I reached the top, I looked down. It was scarier than I thought it would be. I wasn't scared of the height. I was scared of sharks coming to get me. "Okay, so, I'm scared of the sharks."
"Told you that you'd be scared." Paul said.
"Shut up! It's the shark! Not the cliff!"
Jared came up next to me and put his hand on my shoulder. "What shark do you see?"
"I can't see it. Duh. That's the scary part." They laughed at me again. Embry and Paul jumped off while yelling. I heard a splash at the bottom, signaling that they hit the ocean. Then Jared took Kim's hand and jumped with her. I heard Kim scream the whole way down. I chuckled. Seth soon followed them. It was just me and Jake. "You want me to hold your hand?" His voice was teasing, but serious at the same time.
"Please." When he grabbed my hand, a shot of electricity went through me. It felt nice. Like our hands were made for each other or something. I think he noticed it because he was trying to hide a smile when I blushed.
"We jump on three okay?"
"Okay."
He started to count. "1, 2, JUMP!"
I screamed the whole way. It was a rush. The water was FREEZING but Jake was warm. "What happened to three you Goob!" Everyone laughed. We swam back to the shore to where the towels were. I laid down on one. Paul, Emmy Bear, and Seth were in the ocean fooling around. Jared and Kim were walking hand in hand down the beach. It looked awesome. "I wish I brought my camera." I whispered.
Jake looked at me. "You take pictures?"
I nodded. "I'm really into photography."
He smiled. "I could be your model." He struck a pose. I couldn't help but laugh. He looked ridiculous.
"That's not a bad idea actually."
"What do you mean?" I could tell he didn't expect that.
"Well, you know, you're an attractive person." I blushed. I can't help it.
He seemed happy with my answer. "Well, so are you. Are you ever on the other side of the camera?"
"Yeah, but not because I'm good looking because I'm not. Because I like being in them. So people know I was there and having fun. I was a model for one of my friends, though. She thought I was model material. Whatever." It's true. My friend Hazel loved taking pictures and made me be the subject of them. "I liked modeling though."
"You are. Beautiful I mean. and if you like it, why don't you make it a career?"
"I'm thinking about it." He nodded. "Can you do me a favor?" He nodded again. "Will you rub this tanning lotion on me so I don't burn? The sun's coming out."
"Sure." He grabbed the lotion and poured some on his hands. "Uhm, where do you want me to put this?" I chuckled at him.
"Anywhere I'm showing skin." He nodded and swallowed. I tried not to laugh. He started on my stomach. It took everything I had not to do something drastic. His hands were so warm. It felt so great. He then went to my lower leg and I calmed down. But then he got to my thighs. This boy is going to be the death of me. He doesn't even know what he's doing to me. Then he looked at me.
"Uh, do you want me to, uh, get your, uhmm, chest area?"
"Yes. Do you want me to be a lobster?" He got more lotion and started at my chest. I almost moaned, but held it in. But I think he noticed because he had a small smile on his face. "Arms too please." He nodded and got my arms. It gave me a chance to breathe. I turned around so he could get my back. He rubbed some on my back. It felt nice. I closed my eyes. He did my legs and thighs. And back. I just laid there.
"I'm done," he said.
I looked up at him. "Thank you."
He smiled. "No, thank you." I rolled my eyes. Boys. "Hey, don't roll your eyes at me. I know you enjoyed it, too. I notice things. Good hearing." He gave me a little smirk. Great. He heard my kind of moan. Joy.
"Jake! Rainya! Come on! Emily has dinner ready!" we heard Seth yell.
"Oh, and good job Jake." They all laughed at Paul. Oh! They had seen that! I inwardly groaned as I got up and headed home.
