Chapter 3:
"WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" Nick said walking into the girls rooms at 10:30 that morning. They both groaned and covered their faces with the blankets, hoping to get a few extra hours of sleep.
"Get up!" Nick repeated, but still no response.
"Fine we will do this the hard way" he said. Not even giving them a warning he jumped on the bed and squashed them with all his weight. They screamed and tried to breathe while kicking him at the same time.
"Nick leave them alone. They only went to bed at four o'clock this morning" they heard a voice from the door and it wasn't Bianca's mum. They poked their heads out of the blankets to see Nick's girlfriend Belinda, standing in the doorway watching them with an amused expression.
"Yeah, what she said" Candice muttered.
"Should you two be somewhere? Like maybe at your own house?" Bianca asked, hoping to get rid of them so she could sleep some more.
"We did, but we came to say goodbye" Nick said.
"Why, where are you going?" Bianca asked.
"Well I don't know, but Nick has organized a weekend away. So we get on the plane in two hours." Belinda explained walking into the room.
"Oh really? Well, aren't you the romantic type" Candice said poking Nick in the stomach and getting a punch on the arm in return.
"I tell you what I don't get about you." Candice started. They all waited for her to finish, "I forgot" she told after a few minutes. They just rolled their eyes. Well… Nick and Belinda did but when Bianca did she complained of a headache.
"Well we better get going. We will see you in three days" Belinda said. The two girls got out of bed and hugged Belinda, but when it came to Nick they just slapped him on the arm and said "Be good".
"Yes mummy" he answered before kissing them on the cheek and leaving.
"Let's go get some breakfast," Candice said walking down the stairs. Gabriella was in the kitchen sitting on one of the chairs talking on the phone. Bianca's dad, Brian, was playing games on the computer and listening to music, as always.
"Yes…. No, Oh really… ok… I will put her on for you. Ok hold on" Gabriella said.
"Candice you mother is on the phone" she said handing the phone to Candice.
"Hello?" Candice said into the phone, as she sat on the counter and watched Bianca make them toast.
"Candice, I was talking to your aunty and she said it is ok if you stay with Bianca for the holidays" she head her mother on the other end. She also heard the sound of a baby crying and Tanisha singing.
"Really? Oh, thanks mum. I was going to come over after breakfast and ask you anyway. But I am still coming to get my clothes" Candice said bobbing excitedly. Bianca took that as a yes to the staying over part.
"Ok, but come soon because we have to take Tanisha to play with Tiana. Then we are going to take Candice to the doctor"
"Why? What's wrong with her?" Candice asked worriedly.
"Oh nothing. She just needs to get her injections. Well I have to go, so I will see you soon honey"
"Ok, Love you. Bye" Candice said before hanging up the phone.
"Well, looks like you will be sharing your bed with me for the rest of the summer" Candice said jumping off the counter and taking a piece of toast from Bianca's plate.
"Really? Awesome. What did your mum say? You sounded worried on the phone Bianca asked.
"Oh no, they have to take Candice to the doctors, but it is just for injections" Candice said as Bianca's eyes widened with worry. She immediately relaxed after that.
"So… are we still going to the beach today?" Bianca asked.
"I guess so."
"Cool well lets get changed and then we can roll on down to your place and get your clothes." Bianca said getting up and dumping her plate in the kitchen.
They went upstairs and got changed. Bianca put on her favourite brown bikini on with her skirt and thongs. She tied her hair up in a ponytail and fixed her fringe. She grabbed a bag and put a towel, sunscreen, mobile phone, wallet and top inside and got up to leave. Candice just put on the same clothes that she wore last night. Only until she got home and changed into something clean.
When they brushed their teeth and were ready to go they grabbed the car keys and went down stairs. "Bye mum! Bye dad!" Bianca said.
"Wait where are you going?" her mother asked.
"Well I am going to take Candice home to get her stuff. We will drop it off back here, then we are going to the beach to get a tan" Bianca explained smiling.
"Oh, ok, make sure you take you phone with you. You father and I might be going to your aunties tonight" Gabriella explained.
"Mum you need to be more specific. Which aunty?" Bianca asked. There was like a million people in her family. How could she possibly know which one?
"Gina, but if we are going, then I will call you, and you can meet us there" her mother said.
"Ok, cya" Bianca said they were about to leave.
"Hold on"
"What is it now?" they asked getting impatient.
"Go say goodbye to your father. He couldn't hear you because the music was too loud."
Bianca and Candice walked over to Brian who was sitting on his comfy computer chair playing Solitaire. "Daddy, we are going to Candice's house then we are going to the beach" Bianca told. She and Candice kissed him on the cheek.
"Oh and Bianca, lock the car" he yelled over his shoulder.
"Bye mum." Bianca said kissing her mother on the way out.
"Bye aunty" Candice said doing the same thing.
"Bye girls, have fun" was all they heard.
Bianca got into the drivers seat and put on her glasses. She turned on the engine and sped off with Candice, listening to their favourite radio station.
-----------------------------
"Boys, what time did you come home last night?" Mrs. Potter asked as she walked into their room and opened the curtains. It was eleven o'clock and they looked out the window just in time to see Bianca and Candice speed off down the street.
They just groaned, similar fashion to the girls, and covered their faces with their pillows.
"I don't know, late" James said through his pillow, although it sounded muffled and not quite clear.
"Well get up. We are going to a restaurant for lunch. You have half an hour to get ready. We have to be there by eleven-thirty." Mrs. Potter said before leaving the room.
They both stumbled out of bed and searched through the wardrobe for something to wear.
They settled for shorts and a top and made their way into the kitchen. They made a quick breakfast but had to eat it in the car.
The car finally stopped and the boys looked out the window confused.
"Mum I though you said we were going to a restaurant for lunch" James asked.
"Then what are we doing on the beach?" Sirius asked. As they stepped out of the car to hear the sound of the waves crashing on the shore, birds singing and people screams from the water. The beach was half crowded but most of the people were lying on the sand getting a tan.
"Didn't I tell you the restaurant was on the beach?" Mrs. Potter asked.
"No"
"Well now you know" Mrs. Potter said.
"Mum" James whined "if you had told us we were coming to the beach we would have brought or swimming costumes"
"Well I brought them for you. I knew that if I told you it would take longer for you to get ready" she said opening her bags and handing their swimming shorts to the boys.
"Thank you Mrs. Potter. You always know the solution" Sirius said for the first time this morning.
"We better go inside. After we eat you can change there and go swimming" Mr. Potter said leading them into the restaurant.
--------------------------
"Mum? Dad?" Candice yelled through the house. She walked into the lounge room and found her dad watching TV.
"Hi daddy. Where's mum?" she asked kissing him on the cheek.
"She took your sister to the doctor. I just came back from taking Tanisha to Tiana's house. What are you two doing today? Looks like you are going to the beach" he said looking at Bianca and smiling.
"Yeah, but I just came to pack my bags. I will be staying with Bianca for the holidays." Candice told him.
"You mean, the holidays just started and my baby is moving out again?" he asked with mock hurt.
"Yes dad. I will miss you too, but I am sure we will see each other. You do know how big this family is. I will probably see you tonight" Candice answered.
"True." He replied.
"Ok, well I am going to pack my stuff" Candice said walking upstairs. Bianca soon followed.
Ten minutes later Candice was running through the house.
"Dad, have you seen my pink undies?" she yelled down the stairs.
"Tanisha hid it in her drawer. She liked it and didn't want you to wear it." He replied.
"It's ok. I will get your undies. You just get changed." Bianca said. She walked into the other room and searched the drawers. Finally she came across a pair of pink undies that looked too big for a six year old and went back into Candie's bedroom. One of the good qualities about this family was that they could get dressed in five minutes.
Candice was wearing her red bikini with matching top and thongs. She was currently fixing her hair when Bianca walked into her room and stuffed her undies in one of the side pockets. She also packed the bag with the same contents as Bianca's, minus her car keys, and turned around.
"How do I look?" she asked her cousin who was looking through a magazine.
"Gorgeous. Can we go now?" Bianca questioned. Candice picked up her suitcase and Bianca took her handbag as they made their way down stairs. Candice said goodbye and they both kissed her dad before getting in the car and riving back to Bianca's house to dump the bags.
They left the bags by the door and drove away before they were stopped by anyone else. They were really desperate to get to the beach and sun bake.
When they reached the beach they parked the car. The good thing was that the beach was right next to the shopping centre so they could go shopping, when they get bored.
They walked along the boardwalk and passed a few shops and restaurants, until they ran into two familiar people.
-----------------------------------
The boys ate their food as fast as possible. When they were finished they ran into the bathroom and changed into their swimming trunks.
"Well I guess we will see you boys later." Mrs. Potter said as she stood outside the shop with them.
"Do you need us to come and pick you up when you are ready?" Mr. Potter asked.
"James? Sirius?" they heard a voice's behind them. They turned around to see Bianca and Candice looking at them. They look sexy. They both thought to themselves.
"What are you doing here?" Sirius asked.
"We came here to get a tan. Ours was starting to fade." Bianca answered.
"Hem hem" there was a voice behind the boys and realized that Mr. and Mrs. Potter were still standing there.
"Hello I'm…" Mr. Potter started but was cut off.
"Mr. Potter." Bianca answered shaking his hand and Candice doing the same after.
"How did you know?" he smiled.
"The hair was a dead give away" she replied. It was true. James seemed to have inherited the black, untamable hair.
"Wow, you must be Mrs. Potter?" Candice said as they shook her hand as well.
"No way! You look like you are our age" Bianca commented as Mrs. Potter blushed.
"Well thank you, and may I say that you have beautiful hair. Both of you" Mrs. Potter added playing with one of Bianca's curls that seemed to bounce, a feature that everyone commented on.
"Well most of the women in our family have this hair." Candice said.
"So are you boys going for a swim?" Bianca asked looking at James and Sirius just standing there, staring at them.
"Yes we were." Sirius answered.
"So did you need that lift?" Mr Potter asked.
"It's ok. We can drop them off. We already know where you live. Unless you moved" Bianca said.
"Really? Where do you live?" Mrs. Potter asked.
"Well, my family just moved into the house right opposite yours" Bianca announced.
"Really. What a coincidence. Are you sure? We don't mind picking them up?"
"No. Really it's fine." Candice smiled sweetly.
"Ok, well, we will see you later." Mr. Potter said before him and his wife walked away.
"Thank you so much" James said.
"No problem, but you owe us. This is the second… no wait, third time we have saved your butts." Candice said.
"Third time?" Sirius asked.
"Yep, I saved you from my cousins who were ready to beat you up because you thought Bianca had a baby already, inside the shopping centre and now" Candice said as they walked and found a spot on the warm sand.
"Ok fine." Sirius pouted.
They laid their towels out on the sand and took out their sunscreen and tanning. Bianca was about to asked Candice to rub tanning on her back when she saw that she was busy rubbing Sirius back already. Candice grinned at her and nodded in James direction who was sitting looking at the wave's crash on the sand. Bianca threw Candice a deadly look before she walked over to James.
"James, do you mind rubbing this on my back? I would ask Candice but she is busy" Bianca said sitting next to James on the sand.
"Sure" he said as he took the oil and rubbed it over her soft skin.
"So are you going to tan or swim first?" Bianca asked as he rubbed her back with his soft hands.
"I think I might go swimming first. The waves look pretty nice" he answered.
"I know. I love the beach. It is always so calm and peaceful" she replied looking at the waves. James finished and handed the oil back to her.
"Can you rub my back?" he asked.
"Ok" she did the same to him. She moved her hands up and down his back at a steady pace and soon she was finished.
"Done" she said.
"Thanks"
"No problem" she smiled at him showing her sparkling white teeth and he couldn't help but return it. Then they heard a small squeal. They turned around to see Sirius pick up Candice and throw her over his shoulder. He walked over to the water as Candice kicked and screamed.
James and Bianca laughed as they watched Sirius dump Candice into the waves. Sirius smiled proudly until Candice jumped up and wrapped her legs around him. She hugged him wetting his whole body in the process.
"Nice one" Bianca said to herself. She saw James look at her grinning, and knew that couldn't be good.
"Don't you dare" she said. Too late. James picked her up in a similar fashion and walked towards the water.
He reached the water and let go of her but she didn't fall. She wrapped her legs around him and said "If I get wet, so do you" With that, she leaned backwards and fell, causing James to follow.
They were all in the water splashing around and being dumped by waves. The waves were huge and just kept coming.
"Man I cant take another one of these waves" Bianca said.
"Here, hold my hand" James said. She took his hand and as the next big wave came she held on tight. The wave was so big that it pushed them all the way to the shore. When they breathed again and looked to see where they were they blushed.
Somehow they tossed and turned so much in the waves that James landed on his back with Bianca laying across his stomach, still holding hands.
They both groaned as they got up.
"Well I am not going back in there" Bianca said getting up and helping James as well.
"I think I could use a break as well" James said. They were about to walk back until Bianca saw something in the water that caught her eye.
"I knew it" she said. James followed her eyes and saw Sirius and Candice snogging, still in the water. Candice had her arms wrapped around his neck and Sirius had his wrapped around her waist.
"I was waiting for him to make his move" James said as they walked back to their towels.
"What do you mean?" Bianca asked glancing at him from her side view.
"Well, usually he will flirt uncontrollably, and then do something like he did just then" James answered. "That is his technique"
"What's your technique?" Bianca asked, but blushed when he looked at her.
"I don't have one"
"Pffft… please, everyone has a technique" she said lying on her stomach on her towel, and undoing the back of her bikini. She pulled her arms under her head and looked at James who was just staring, with a certain expression on his face that she has seen before.
"Well what's you technique?" he asked snapping out of his daze.
"We're not talking about me, we are talking about you" she replied. James lied on his back and turned his head to face her.
He was about to reply when Candice and Sirius came running towards them. Sirius stood and shook widely like a dog, which caused the girls to raise their eyebrows.
"What are you talking about?" Candice asked, lying on her towel as well.
Bianca looked at James and didn't break eye contact while replying: "nothing"
"Ok kiddies; well don't hurt yourself talking about nothing. We are going to go get some ice cream. Do you want one?" she asked.
"No thank you" James told.
"Baby bear?" Candice asked calling Bianca by her nickname that she gave her when she was little.
"Nah, I'm cool" she replied. Candice and Sirius walked off talking about something to do with her curls and how they bounce a lot. "It runs in the family" they heard her reply.
"Baby bear?" James asked curiously, although grinning.
"Yeah, Candice gave me that nickname when we were five." Bianca said tying the back of her bikini and lying on her stomach. "Don't you dare use it"
"So, do you have a…" he faded away.
"A what?" she asked, although she knew where the question was leading.
"A boyfriend?" he asked slightly more confident.
"Why do you want to know?" she asked.
"Curious" he shrugged, he turned onto his side and held his head in his hand.
"Have you ever heard of the saying: 'Curiosity killed the cat'?" Bianca asked.
"No", raising an eyebrow.
"Well, no, I don't have a boyfriend" she answered. Just then her mobile started ringing.
She reached into her bag unaware of the happy look on James' face. Just before she said hello James stopped her: "It isn't your brother is it?" he asked worriedly.
She smiled and shook her head.
"Hello... hello my sexy Tanisha. How is my favourite princess today?" Bianca said into the phone. James looked at her with a weird expression, which she ignored and listened to her little cousin.
"I'm good. Is candy there?" she asked with her little innocent voice. The complete opposite to Candice, Bianca always thought.
"She has gone to get ice cream, why?"
"Well mummy said that you both have to come to our house tonight. Everyone is having dinner here" Tanisha told.
"What time?" Bianca asked.
"Hold on… MUMMY WHAT TIME?" Tanisha yelled a little too close to the phone, causing Bianca to remove it from her ear. Bianca swapped the phone to her other ear. At least she could hear from the other one.
"Around 8:30" she answered.
"Ok, we will see you later."
"Ok, bye." Tanisha said.
"Bye sexy." Bianca said before hanging up.
Candice had returned with Sirius and they were both eating ice cream.
"Candice that was Nisha. We are having dinner at your house tonight, 8:30" Bianca told Candice.
"Ok" Candice replied looking at her watch. "So that gives us….about five hours to do what we want." She said offering Bianca some ice cream. Bianca accepted they share food all the time and didn't really care because they were cousins.
"So what do you guys want to do now?" James asked.
"Well, why don't we go shopping?" Bianca suggested as Candice nodded in response.
"Are you sure you want to go shopping with us?" Sirius asked.
"Of course. You guys can hold our bags" Bianca said. They laughed as they gathered their possessions and walked to the car. They reached the car and the girls took their tops out of their bags and threw it over their bikini. They left their bags in the car and only took their sunglasses, phone, keys and wallet with them.
They went shopping revisiting some of the places they saw the night before.
Bianca tried on a brown dress that finished above the knees, with beads working near the neckline that went low. Although not to low for everything to be showing.
"How do I look? I want an honest opinion." She asked twirling around.
"Honest opinion?" James asked.
"Honest opinion" she confirmed waiting for his answer.
"You look sexy" he said simply. She smiled and went back to the changing room. Once she was back in her normal clothes she went to the counter to pay for the dress. Candice bought a few things and they moved to the next shop.
This is basically how the rest of the day went. Until it was 7:00. The girls dropped the boys off in front of their house this time.
"See you later" Bianca said as they parked the car in the driveway and walked inside. The boys waited a little while until they saw the girls walk up and down. They saw Candice pull of her top and remove her skirt. Bianca did the same thing as she walked to the window. She smiled down at the boys before closing the curtains.
"Hey Prongs, do you think they have seen each other naked?" Sirius asked as they walked into the house.
"Padfoot, why would you ask something like that?" James said looking at him disgustedly.
"Just answer the question"
"Well they are cousins, so chances are yes" James said. "Why do you want to know?"
"I was just wondering"
"You are a sick boy, Padfoot. A sick, sick boy" James commented.
"Thank you" he said taking that in as a compliment. James just rolled his eyes and collapsed on his bed. He closed his eyes and pictured Bianca when she smiled at him on the beach.
