The Summer Of Us (Discontinued)

Chapter Thirteen

We drove for only like five minutes, while I sat in the back of the car. Ethan drove, and Jay sat in the passenger seat. I sat next to a cooler with both beer and water inside.

Never am I drinking again. I feel too sick.

I couldn't help but to feel angry towards Diana. I mean, I wasn't jealous of her being with Tucker.

Lies.

What does it matter if I like him or not? Diana was right, Tucker would never go after a girl like myself anyways.

Ethan parked in an empty parking spot before turning off the engine. They both hopped out. Ethan opened the back left door, taking out the cooler while Jay opened the back right door.

"You coming, babe?" He questioned, his curly hair falling onto his forehead in a cute way. I nodded, unbuckling my seat belt before hopping out.

We continued to walk onto the hot sand. I was thankful for my sandals right now. I glanced behind me to find Tucker and Diana making out against his car.

Next thing you know, Tucker picks her up, putting her on the hood of his car before they continue to make out.

My face cringed. She was all over him.

That's when I felt an arm wrapped around my shoulders. My head turned to fine Ethan. One hand carrying the cooler, the other around my shoulders.

"Now you see why we brought you." He smiled.

I laughed. "So what's there to do here?"

"Plenty of activities, you can go surfing, swimming, sun bathing, anything--bloody hell, Jay! Don't you dare steal that surfboard!" Ethan shouted, dropping the cooler and chasing after Jay as he ran with a little boy's surfboard under his arm.

I laughed at the sight of it all. I guess I could rent a surfboard or something, it sounds like fun.

I took off my shirt before dropping my shorts. I readjusted my top before taking my long hair out of the messy bun and letting it flow in the wind.

"Hey!" A familiar high pitched voice said behind me.

You've got to be kidding me.

"Cute bathing suit." She winked, laying out her hot pink towel on top of the sand next to me. "Are you going to lie down, or what?"

"Oh..." I said. "I was actually going to go surfboarding."

She laughed. "That's hilarious. Now come on, get your tan on!"

With a sigh I grabbed a towel out of my back and laid it out next to hers.

That's when Tucker came running along. "Hey babe." He said, planting a kiss on her lips.

"Great, you're here." She said, digging out some type of sun tan oil and handing it to him. "Can you put this on my back?"

"Sure." He said. He was shirtless, his abs showing along with his muscular arms. His hair flowed to one side in a sexy matter.

Very sexy...

Gross, he's taken. You can't be thinking this stuff, Elise. That's breaking girl rules. I didn't want to be that type of person.

Once he was done rubbing it onto her skin, he gave it back to her. 

She looked to me. "You need some of this stuff. It works magic."

"Oh no, it's cool." I said with a smile.

"Not with that pasty skin." She laughed. "Tucker do you mind putting this on her back?"

"What?" He questioned, confused.

I was thinking the same thing.

"I would do it, but I don't want to get my hands sticky right now." She sighs, putting back on her sunglasses. "You don't mind, do you?" She asked me.

Yes.

"Uh...no?"

"Great, then it's settled." She looked to Tucker. "We don't have all day, do we?"

He glances at me, before getting down on one knee behind me. I moved my hair aside over my shoulder.

I felt his warm hand on my back. It sent shivers down my spine. He continued to rub the oil in to my skin.

His hands moved to my lower back. His touch was soft, gentle.

I wanted this both to end, and last forever at the same time.

After a little bit, he removes his hand from my back, and it shot me out of my daydream.

He passed the bottle back to Diana without once glancing at me.

"I'm going to hang out with Ethan and Jay." Tucker said to Diana.

"Yeah, whatever." She said. 

He continued to walk towards both of the boys who were already in the water.

They totally ditched me with the bitch.

"So, tell me more about yourself." She said lying down on her stomach.

This was going to be a long trip, I could already tell.
