"You're surfing now too?" Edward asked him.

"Nah, I'm going to help Bella."

"I told him he could help out…you know so I have two teachers and learn more." I explained quickly.

"Oh…this should be interesting" Edward said under his breath.

They stood there staring each other down; almost like having a battle with their glares. What is up with them? I thought they were friends. I let it go and decided it would be best if I just tried to get them to move to the water. "So you guys ready to watch me attempt to surf?"

"Don't worry Bella you'll do fine… I mean c'mon look at your teacher." Gavin said pointing with both hands at his body and he moved them up and down as if saying "check me out" with his hands. I couldn't help but laugh and he feigned hurt. "Ouch Bells that hurt." with that I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his torso.

"I'm sorry Gavin. I was just kidding around I never meant to hurt your fragile self. Am I forgiven?" I gave him big puppy dog eyes pleading silently with him.

"Argh! Bella when you put it like that I have to forgive you." And he put his arms around me too.

"Okay good! Because I need two of the best surfers to watch my back!" I yelled and broke from his grip and sprinted towards the water to dive in. It was surprisingly warm, the reefs were another story, they were so colorful and exotic something I would never get to see in New York; I came up for air and turned towards the beach to see Edward and Gavin grabbing their boards and also running into the water. "So is the water always this warm?"

"All the time." Edward smiled at me.

"Man, I could get used to this." I said softly as I floated on my back, eyes closed with the current soaking up the sun as I did. I was really enjoying it until something started to block the sun and I opened my eyes confused to find Gavin hovering over me about 10 inches from my face.

"So are you going to float there all day or are we going to teach you how to surf?"

"Let's surf!" I yelled as a huge smile broke out across my face.

Edward swam over to me with a smile on his face, obviously amused with my sudden shift from calm to totally excited state. "Here Bella, you can use my board to start."

"Thanks" The boys started explaining the basics to me and I listened intently. Once everything was said Gavin demonstrated it while Edward sat on his board with me. He easily laid belly down on his board and started to paddle with both arms to catch some speed and the sun glistened off his tan skin; you could see his clearly defined muscles, especially through his tight rash guard. As the wave built itself up he pulled himself forward with his arms and effortlessly stood. He gracefully glided with the water as if he didn't even have to think about it. What he did next shocked me; he rode inside the tube of the wave. He held his hand out and ran it through the wave as he went along; as the wave died he paddled his way back to me and Edward. He had droplets of water on the tips of his dark hair.

"You ready to give it a try?" Gavin asked.

"Nope, but let's go." I said nervously.

"Don't worry you'll be fine I'll swim alongside you." Edward reassured me sensing my nervousness. He helped me onto his board and quickly ran through important reminders. As a wave came I started paddling. Arm forward, pull back, arm forward, pull back, arm forward, pull back. I repeated in my head. I started to see Edward still alongside the board like he said. I slowly looked down at the board and started to pick my upper body up. I got to my knees successfully and immediately got a boost of confidence. Slowly and carefully I stood, I was on my feet looking around. It felt so cool to be riding on top of water I heard screams of encouragement and praise from Edward and Gavin. Caught up in the excitement I was starting to lose my balance and felt myself falling toward the side Edward was swimming on. I tried to yell a warning to him but it was too late and I felt the impact of his body against mine pushing us both deeper into the water. I quickly swam up to the surface for air and moved to the side in case Edward sprang up too. I must have gotten the wind knocked out of me from the impact because all I could do was gasp for air without much success and at the same time I was coughing due to the water I swallowed. By this time Edward was already above water and bringing his board back to me.

"Bella are you okay? Here, get on the board." He easily helped me onto the board to catch my breath without having to worry about staying above the water.

"I'm so sorry Edward I tried to yell warn you but it wasn't soon enough I'm so sorry are you okay?" I asked worried I'd hurt him.

"Please I'm fine, I'm worried about. Are you okay?" His voice was full of concern and his eyes were glancing over my body to look for any physical damage.

"Yeah I'm good, just got the wind knocked out of me. Can I try it again?"

"Are you sure?" Gavin cut in. I didn't even notice he was with us.

"Positive. I'm not gonna let one fall keep me down! How would I learn if I stopped after I failed once? I wouldn't get anywhere if I did." They both smiled at me and agreed. This time I won't fall. My next wave the boys decided Gavin would go because he had his surf board so I could look at him if I needed any help. As we waited for a wave small talk broke out.

"So do you have a boyfriend back in New York?" Gavin started and I heard Edward scoff.

"Nope…why do you ask?" I raised an eyebrow at him but he wasn't looking at my face.

"Justwondering." He answered shortly. "Okay start paddling there's a wave coming." He quickly changed the subject before more questions roused. I started paddling as best as I could and glanced to the right to see Gavin effortlessly paddling 5 feet away from me getting ready to ride the wave with me. I saw him start to stand and I did the same; he of course was up faster than me and much smoother but hey, it's the end result that counts right? By the time I stood up I looked at Gavin with a huge smile on my face. I did it! He gave me a thumbs up and returned the smile. We rode the wave out all the way to the shore; once we hit it I jumped off and started to do a victory dance and both Edward and Gavin laughed at my excitement. We continued to do this for about an hour and Gavin and Edward switched in and out surfing with me.

"Guys I'm getting tired kinda tired but I had sooo much fun, thank you so much!" I told them.

"Anytime I'll head in with you." Edward and Gavin said simultaneously. We all swam back to the beach and layed down in the sun on our towels. It was so warm. It never got too hot because there was a gentle breeze, but the breeze was warm too.

"Well, well, well what do we have here? You guys are tired already?" I opened my eyes and saw Alice standing over us with her hands on her hips.

"Yes Alice, it was Bella's first time surfing. She's tired don't try to drag her off somewhere to do something please." Edward said. Alice kept her stance but gave in and agreed to let us be with a huff. As she walked away I started to laugh. She seemed so upset to leave us alone but she skipped off when she saw Jasper.

"We should all go back to your house later Edward. We could all hang out there and maybe watch some movies." Gavin suggested. I looked over at Edward to see what he would say.

"Yeah sure. At least we got our own movie night last night." He said looking at me then smirked at Gavin. What was that about? I don't know how long we layed there but I closed my eyes and enjoyed the warm rays soaking into my skin. I definitely will not get tired of this.

"Okay! That's enough sleeping!" Alice interrupted our relaxing time. "It's time to get up. We're going back to our house for swimming, barbeque, and movies!" The three of us started to get up and gather our belongings. "Let's go! Move it! Move it! Left, left, left, right, left!" she began chanting as we walked.

As we came close to the house I smelt food cooking and it smelt delicious. All the others were swimming and jumping off the diving board, sliding down the slide or chilling in tubes.

"Nice of you guys to finally show up!" Mike called out. I was slightly embarrassed that we were sleeping on the beach when they were here and turned the other way a little. I sat down at the table by the pool because I wasn't in the mood to swim right now, but apparently Gavin had other plans for me. He came up to me and simply said,

"You going swimming?"

"Not right now, maybe in a little bit though."

"Nah, I think you want to go in now." He said with a devilish grin on his face.

"Umm, no I – " He cut me off by picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder so he could hold my legs and my upper body was against his back.

"No! No! Gavin put me down! Stop! Put me down now!" I screamed and kept screaming. I started to kick my legs as well but he kept walking. Suddenly he stopped. Oh no.

"Ooooh! You want me to put you down?" he asked.

"YES!" I screamed. Finally he gets the point of my screaming. Was it not clear enough?

"Okay sorry, my bad." He apologized. I felt him go to put me down and I expected the floor to come, but it never did. The next thing I knew I was in the air and falling towards the water. I took a deep breath before I went under but it was too late; I just breathed in pool water. Not air. I couldn't find the bottom of the pool to push myself up, it must be the deep end, and I couldn't find the strength to swim to the surface because it seemed too far above me. I was still choking on the water that I inhaled before.

I felt a pair of arms wrap around my stomach and someone's chest against my back. Suddenly, my body was free of the water and I felt grass underneath me. I still could not get oxygen to my lungs until pressure was added to my chest. I coughed a couple of times and finally was able to breathe. I opened my eyes and saw everyone leaning over me but Edward, Gavin and Alice were the closest. Edward looked at down at me with worry clearly in his eyes.

"Bella I'm so so sorry I didn't mean for this to happen I'm so sorry I'll make it up to you. I —"

"Gavin, it's okay I'm fine. Don't worry." I reassured him. After they were all convinced I was okay everyone went back to what they were doing. I pulled Edward aside.

"Thank you. I owe you big time." I said genuinely.

"No problem I'm glad you're okay." He smiled. "How about you sit with me during the movies and we'll call it even?" he asked.

"You got yourself a deal!" I laughed lightly. Gavin sat down at the a table and was looking at me. "Be right back?" I asked Edward.

"Sure." He simply stated. I walked over to Gavin and sat down with him.

"Heyy." I said. He looked at me and smiled weakly. "You okay?"

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for that to happen. I shouldn't have thrown you in."

"Don't worry about it Gavin. I swallowed a little water it's no big deal. I mean look I'm fine aren't I?" I felt so bad it was my fault I swallowed water, he shouldn't be blaming himself.

"Can I make it up to you?"

"It's not your fault but if it makes you feel better sure."

"Would you want to hang out tomorrow night with me?" he asked nervously as if he was worried I would say no.

"Of course I will." I said as a huge smile broke out on both our faces. I couldn't wait. Although, I know that it's only to make up for what happened and doesn't mean anything. "But I have to go back to Edward now."

"Mind if I come?" he asked.

"Not at all."

How could he be so stupid and throw her in like that without giving her a warning to hold her breath or anything. He's so frustrating he thinks he's hot shit, wait until she gets to know him better she won't want to be near him. What is he doing walking over here with her?

"Heyy guys! Want to play sharks and minnows?" Alice called out to us. Bella looked at me with the funniest look ever.

"I want to play!" she yelled with so much excitement. "Wait this is the game where someone stands on the diving board facing the outside of the pool and the people in the pool try to get to the other side without getting tagged by the person on the diving board but if the person on the diving board turns around and no one is going he or she has to take a step toward the back of the diving board and if you're tagged you have to go on the diving board right?" she spit out so quickly it was hard to understand but of course leave it to the hyper pixie to know what she said.

"Exactly! So you want to play?"

"Uh duh I do! It's game time." she took off her shorts and tank top and jumped in the pool with so much enthusiasm it was hard not to be excited about it. I followed her as well and we swam to the other side of the pool where everyone was. I looked back and of course Gavin followed her too. I couldn't help but notice the smirk Alice shot Bella. Bella is in for it tonight, Alice sees something that no one else does…again. Jess was on the diving board and turned around to signal the game is starting. Emmett splashed obnoxiously to make her turn around and started yelling,

"Go! Go! Go! You can make it c'mon go faster!" and she fell for it causing her to get a penalty step on the board. When she turned back around I quietly went under water and when my whole body was submerged I pushed off the wall and glided through the water until I hit the other side and came above the water to breathe again. Instantly Jess turned around and looked to the pool to see who went. She had a confused look on her face until she saw me on the other side and realized it was me. She turned back around again and we continued to play. It was a lot of fun until Esme called us to eat dinner.

Authors Note: Okay I hope this was worth the wait! Once again I'm so sorry this was put up so late I will try and be more on top of it! Please R & R! :D
