This morning we all went to breakfast at a restaurant on the boardwalk of the beach. While everybody else talked, making fun of Akira and her stomach ache last night, I quietly ate my food

"Egypt you good?"

I looked up at Mrs Angie and nodded "yes ma'am. I'm good"

"She probably ready to hit the beach like me. I been working hard on my beach body now it's time to show it off" Akira spoke and Christian sucked his teeth

"Ain showing shit off" he muttered to himself so Akira rolled her eyes

"How many times ima tell you. You ain't my daddy"

"Ion care how many times you say it"

"Alright y'all two"

They both exchanged glares while I just continued to eat

"Well tell Christian he need to stop worrying about me. Ready to tell somebody to stop dressing and acting like a hoe when he Ain no better" Akira fussed as she rolled her neck and Christian slouched back in his seat shaking his head

I tried not to pay attention to him but once I looked at him, my eyes concentrated on him. I can't even lie and say that I wasn't attracted to him now; Maybe it just took the second time for me to realize it. Christian licked his lips before looking at Akira making a face

"Cause you think that mess cute and it ain't"

"What? Me wanting to show off my body? If I'm happy with how my body look why is it an issue that I wanna show it off"

"Cause you ain grown"

"I'm 16! Chill out!"

"Christian does have a point Akira. You not grown yet... but still if she wants to wear a bathing suit then she can. As long as it looks appropriate I don't see an issue" Mrs Angie finally mediated the situation while her husband seemed to just ignore the whole thing, being that he was busy talking on the phone discussing work business

My phone vibrated twice on the table so I quickly picked it up to see a text message from Tremaine causing me to smile just reading his name alone

"That must be Tremaine gotchu smiling like that"

I looked up from my phone catching Akira's grin as she looked at me along with Christian's not so pleased face

"You and Tremaine be texting?"

"And here he go" Akira started up again while Mrs Angie laughed

"It's just friendly texting" I explained to Christian but it seemed not to make nothing better

"Ion believe that"

"Christian cool off on the girls and let them have fun" their dad finally spoke up with a chuckle

"Egypt know im just as protective over her as I am with Kira"

Christian eyed me so we just sat there awkwardly for a few seconds looking at each other before I just went back to eating

11:40 am

"So this boy texted me just now and asked me to come to his room on the 8th floor" Akira informed me as she fixed the back of her bathing suit top. We weren't going to the beach until 1:30 but she was already getting ready while I texted Tremaine

"Are you going?"

"Ion know. I think I might for a lil bit. He here with some friends too.. you wanna go?"
