Summer 3

It was the day of my best friend's fifteenth birthday, as we prepared his party at the entrance to Blessia Island. Our parents knew about the party, and I had somehow convinced Dorothy and Barrett to let us grow up and not have any supervision at the party! They seemed to trust us not to bring any form of alcoholic beverages. Plus, Jake double checked the ship and our rucksacks to make sure we didn't sneak any on board, and Ceci made and packed our refreshments.

However, I don't think any of us were interested in getting drunk; we just wanted to feel like adults! As long as none of us ventured into the island's dungeons, all was fine!

The sound of bebop jazz echoed from the record player as my cousin and I sat on the pier. The party was a swimming party, so we all brought swimming suits to go swimming in. My tankini was adorable! A brown color with a blue bow on the chest of it and a little blue ribbon on the legs of the shorts. My cousin took a sip of her strawberry iced drink; her bikini was ruffly, in the colors of cotton candy pink with silver pinstripes. A cute, ruffled skirt accented the swimsuit and from the looks of it, it looked very much like an expensive designer brand.

"Clara, what's your present to Leonel? You can tell me!" She said in excitement as I looked up at her before sighing and looking back down at my reflection in the water.

"I dunno." I replied with a sigh. I mean, I had a slight idea...but it probably wasn't a good idea. However, I couldn't help but want to give what I was thinking about giving him, I just felt so sorry for him!

"You're lying, Clara." My cousin said sternly with her arms crossed as I looked over at her, my cheeks were tinged a slight pink in color. She was always able to tell if someone was lying just by looking at their face! She definitely took after her dad on that aspect.

"Ok, but I'm not sure if I am going to give this to him!" I hissed quietly in defense before whispering in my cousin's ear, her face became as red as a cherry and her eyes widened. She jerked her head away from my lips, looking at me in horror.

"Clara!" She scolded with a shocked tone in her voice as I raised my hands in defense.

"Like I said before, I dunno if I am going to give this to him!"

"I hope not." My cousin's eyes turned from shock to worry, "You could get hurt by doing this..." she stated as I sighed, listening to the reggae music and the waves from the ocean corresponding together in a harmonic way. My mind began to contemplate.

If I do give this to him...it would benefit him! It was a horribly good idea and I doubt something like this would ever happen to him! I mean, He's my best friend and I want to help him achieve this in some way, even if it means doing it for him. I looked over at my cousin's concerned eyes before looking behind me at all of my other friends dancing to the music on a record player.

"Think about this carefully, Clara. I'm going to dance a bit and maybe referee Cammy and Serena's swimming race!" She left and I was alone on the pier. Even though I was on the pier, my location felt as though I was in a tiny dark cave all alone and if I screamed, no one would hear me.

It began to turn to dusk, the sun was slowly setting as I stayed in the same spot, continuing to think. I heard some commotion from behind me; it was Sera congratulating her sister on winning the swimming race and laughter, then all of a sudden a slow melody's tune arose into the air as I saw a hand next to my face from the corner of my eyes. I looked up to Leonel's face.

"C-can I have this dance?" He asked, I giggled and took his hand.

"You're the birthday boy." I informed him as he blushed, helping me up from my spot, leading me towards the sand. He placed his hands on my waist as he led me in the dance.

"You know, Clara..." Leonel began as I looked in his blue eyes, "I haven't gotten my present from you." He chuckled jokingly, I smiled.

"I'm not giving it to you yet." I winked as he blushed slightly.

"Is it...embarrassing?" He asked in a whisper as I pondered and blushed.

"A bit." I answered and he blushed furiously.

"It's not some sort of male enhancement gag gift, is it?" He gave a bit of an angry look as I laughed.

"No, no Leonel! I'm not that mean!" he sighed in relief.

"Is it something exotic your mom forced you to buy?"

"Nope." I replied as he pondered.

"I give up." he flared his hands in the air as a sign of defeat as I laughed.

"It'll be after the party." I told him as he pursed his lips still wondering about the gift.

The party was over as quickly as it had started; Leonel and I offered to stay behind to clean up. Allowing everyone else to go home on the second ship. It was a good thing too, we were all alone, which means...I could give him...the gift.

"Okay, Clara." Leonel began, "What and where is my present? I've looked everywhere for an unopened box, and all I could find were the already opened presents from everyone else! How well do you have it hidden?" He asked as I nervously giggled a bit.

"You won't find it here, come on." I offered my hand and he took it, I was leading him to the entrance.

"Whoa! Wait a minute, Clara! I am not fighting any monsters!" He exclaimed, his face held a look of terror as I laughed.

"Don't worry," I reassured him "It's at the abandoned ship, so it's nowhere near any monsters!"

He sighed in relief and mumbled a 'good' under his breath, so throughout that journey to the old ship I pulled my best friend as fast as I could, just so I wouldn't have to battle any monsters! When we arrived, his eyes sparkled and his mouth gaped open in aw.

"Clara!" He began, "The view is so nice! Thank you! This is the best gift ever!" I blinked a few times and blushed.

"This...isn't your gift, Leonel, though I will admit the moonlight's reflection on the dark water is very nice." I said he looked at me with a puzzled expression.

"If...if this isn't my gift...then what is it?"

"Uhm…" I began, trying not to make it any more awkward than it already was.

"Close your eyes." I ordered with a blush on my face; he furrowed his eyebrows, hesitating for a moment before slowly shutting them.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, pressing my lips against his, he seemed shocked at first, but only for a second as he grabbed my face and kissed me back...this was so wrong...but it had to be done! I pulled his trunks down as he broke the kiss, looking behind me as if he was expecting our friends to be laughing at him that he didn't notice I had taken my top off until he felt me pressed up against him. I could feel his heartbeat thumping as my lips reached his ear.

"Do me." I whispered, hoping he would object. He didn't.

With every thrust of his hips, my mind went deeper into my own little world. I didn't want to be mentally present for what was happening. He was my best friend! This was super awkward! But if I didn't do this, he might be a virgin for the rest of his life, considering no one would want a weak and girly looking guy! Though this wasn't how I wanted to lose my virginity...and maybe I should have waited until we were older, but if I ever get a boyfriend, I wouldn't want to do Leonel while I was in a relationship. That would be horrible on my part. So, I might as well get it over with now. It'll just be once! And we'll never have to talk about it again!

I came back to reality to both us panting, sweat pouring from our pores. Our faces both crimson red at what we had done.

Oh no! What have I done?
