Xena
I woke up to a heavy weight on top of me and a something wet on my face. I groan and open my eyes and see Archer on top of me and then soon realized that it was his drool that was on my face.
I gave a sleeping Archer a wet Willy and he just groans and rolls off me. He rubs his eyes before he looks around I confusion for a bit. It was currently Saturday, last night after we finished having our little barbeque we ended up sitting on the sand near the shore and we talked about nothing and everything.
“Why do you always do that?” Archer groans and rubs his face, his morning voice made his already deep voice even deeper. Hot.
“The real question is why do you always have to have your whole body on top of me and drool on my cheek when you sleep?” I question while I rub my cheek in disgust.
“Here, let me lick your face. It’ll make it better” Archer say jokingly as he grabs onto my face and sticks his tongue out and tries to lick my face.
“Yuck Archer!” I screech and jump out of his grip and got off the bed.
“You’re disgusting” I shake my head with a laugh as I walk into the bathroom. I took a quick shower and walked out into the living room, Archer went for a shower next.
Brie and Cam were in the living room laying down on the sofas. Both of them engrossed in their phone.
“Morning” I say as I just on the sofa and sit in between them.
“Oh yay, you’re up. Brie and I were waiting for you so that we all could go surfing and maybe walk on the beach. It’s sunny outside. We need some girl time, while the boys can do whatever they want” Cam shrugs and gets up from the sofa.
“Oh yeah, sure. Let me go change into my swimsuit real quick” I say and head to walk into my bedroom.
I head to my suitcase and pull out a simple light blue bikini. Just then Archer walks out with all his glory.
“Gosh! Archer, put on a towel” I scream and turn away from him which my eyes shut.
“Oh please, you’re acting like you’ve never seen me naked before” Archer says, I could imagine him rolling his eyes at me.
“Yes. But still, put on a towel. Who walks out of the shower completely naked Archer” I say and I kept my eyes closed.
“You can open your eyes not. I’m not naked anymore” Archer says
I turn back around and he was in grey sweat shorts only. I could see his abs and they looked like they were sculpted by marble. He just. So. Hot. God, save me.
“Like it?” Archer winks then walks towards me.
“You know… we could always just…” Archer trails off as he wraps his arms around my waist as he gives me kiss on my forehead and then my nose, my cheeks, my lips, then trails down to my neck.
“No” I sate as I pull away with a laugh as I walk to the bathroom.
“Cam and Brie are waiting for me, we’re going surfing” I say as I close the bathroom door behind me. I heard Archer groan before I heard him walk out the room.
I changed into my bikini before walking out of the room as well, Owen and Felix were up too, and all the boys were in the kitchen looking for something they would like to eat. Brie and Cam were already heading to the beach, surfboards in hand.
I grab my surfboard too before walking up to them. They were sitting on the sand waxing their board a bit. After we were done with that we all walked to the ocean and began to surf. I saw Cam and Brie and they both had smiles on their faces. This really gave me flashbacks of sophomore year.
Around half an hour later we were done. Archer, Felix nor Owen had come out yet, so we decided to go see what they were doing. We walk inside the beach house, out hair wet and salty. We saw Archer, Owen and Felix all sitting in the living room… playing video games. They were all focused on the game not daring to blink even once.
What I found adorable was that Archer was so focused his tongue was sticking out a bit from the corner.
“Are you guys being for real right not? You have the opportunity to go out and have fun in the beach and you guys decide to play video games?” Brie rolls her eyes.
“What? You guys said we could do anything we wanted” Owen shrugs.
“This isn’t what we meant” Cam rolls her eyes.
“Hey Archer, do you guy have a volleyball net stand?” I question
“Yeah, we do. It’s in one of the wardrobes in either one of the guest rooms” Archer says still focusing on the TV in front of him.
Brie, Cam and I all look at each other before we walk to each of the 3 rooms to find the volleyball net stand. I checked the wardrobe in Archer and I’s room but it wasn’t in there. I walked into one of the rooms and I saw Cam looking through her and Owens wardrobe before we heard Brie running into the room telling us she found it.
We all walk back to the living room, Brie holding onto the volleyball net stand in her hand. I stand in front of the TV causing all the boys to groan and start complaining. Well, for Owen and Felix to start complaining. Archer was just staring at me with a weird look in his eyes. I switch off the Xbox before Cam starts speaking, which caused Owen and Felix to slowly keep quite from their really loud yelling because I switched of the Xbox.
“We’re having a volleyball match. Owen, Archer and Felix on one team while Brie, Xena and I in the other.” Cam states
“But-“Owen starts off
“CHOP CHOP! Get up before I stab your eyes out” Brie says, I turn to look at her and noticed instead of the volleyball net stand, she was holding a knife that she got from the open kitchen, since it was right beside the living room.
“Okay. Okay. Just put the knife down. Jeez” Archer says while standing up and picking up the volleyball net stand from the place Brie had left it.
“I’m not going out in the sun like that ever again. Babe help me put sunscreen” Felix shakes his head as he glares at the beach. Brie laugh and applies sunscreen on places Felix couldn’t reach. We all did the same not wanting to get sunburnt like how Felix did.
We all helped to set up the net and stand and we started to play. Cam used to be on the volleyball team freshman and sophomore year but she left it because she didn’t like to play it for the school. We all were playing all of us with a big smile on our face.

“What bullshit is this dude, I want a rematch” Owen groans as we won again for the third time.
“You said that two rematches before” Cam rolls her eyes.
“Well. I want to take a nap now. I’m tired. I’m going to hit the hay” Felix says as he gives me a pointed look, almost to tell me that he used ‘hit the hay’ the correct way.
“Yeah same” Brie nods and walks in with Felix into the house.
“Well. Wanna have a sandcastle competition?” Owen asks.
“Ou, sounds fun. Sure” Cam nods her head.
“This time let’s make it couple verses couple” Cam says and walks up to Owen.
“We’re already about to win this thing” Archer says as he rubs his hands together.
We all decided to set a time of 15 minutes to see who can make the best sandcastle within the time limit. We then would slowly keep decreasing the time to make it more fun
We all walked to a specific area we wanted to make the sand castle in and we started building it. The hard part was, we had to do everything with our hands.
Archer looked so focused it was funny. Around 10 minutes in we were done but since we had extra time we decided to add a mini pool with our castle, Archer started digging a hole while I got the water, I was holding the water with my hand acting like a cup. I kept going back and forth to get water. Archer ended up helping and he ended up carrying more water since his hands were able to hold the water without it leaking, also because his hands were bigger.
Once the time was up we saw the sand castle that Cam and Owen made and it wasn’t that bad. We ended up judging each other work and Archer and I ended up winning cause we had a mini pool too included with our castle.
Owen of course asked for a rematch so we decided to make another castle but with only 10 minutes of time. We ended up building a castle bigger than the one before and we decided to add a small pool that covered around the castle. And once again we won. Owen was mad again but we all decided to get inside because it was really hot.
We got inside the house and I went straight for a shower. Archer knocking on the bathroom door once again.
“Babe, hurry up with your shower please” Archer says. As he closes the door behind him.
“I’m going to take long, I have lots of sand in my hair” I say as I try to get the sand off my hair
“Can I join? I’ll help you remove it” Archer jokes.
“Sure” I state
“Wait seriously” Archer asks.
“Yeah, get in” I say as I open up the curtain and peek my head through, smiling at him with shampoo on my head.
“Oh, you’re not joking?” Archer says as he looks at me.
“I might change my mind, so hurry” I wink as I remove shampoo from my head, Sand was still in my hair though, I hate how it sticks like glitter.
I heard a bit of shuffling from behind the curtain before Archer joined in as well a small smirk on his face.

It was currently 8pm, all of us were in the living room. Talking to one another.
I did realize how Owen and Felix kept giving Archer weird looks, almost like they were asking him to do something. I saw Archer shake his head before Owen slaps the back of his head.
“Just fucking do it already” Owen whispers quiet badly to Archer because I heard what Owen said.
“What the fuck, aggressive much?” Archer rolls his eyes and rubs the back of his head. He stands up and sits beside me instead.
I rest my head on his shoulder as I witnessed Brie and Cam in another argument. I rolled my eyes with a smile still on my face.
“Wanna go for a walk?” Archer asks while he turns to look at me then kisses my forehead.
“Sure” I nod my head and we walk out of the sliding door. It was a bit chilly but I could handle it. I was wearing Archer’s hoodie and my shorts.
The beach looked really nice, the moon was shining on the water. The reflection of the moon on the water made it look magical. I looked up to see that the dark sky were littered with starts, some big some small.
“Do you like it here?” Archer asks as he grabs onto my hand. His warm big hands engulfing my rather small and cold ones.
“Yeah, I really love it here. It’s such a beautiful place. Especially during the night. It look so magical.” I express.
“Yeah, it really is nice here. I love it here” Archer says as he looks at the ocean, Waves overlapping one another.
We were quite far from the house now, it was just the ocean, sand and us. Archer stops and stares at the ocean. I decided to sit down on the sand. Archer following my same moves.
I look at Archer and he looked so handsome, his eyes were a beautiful green color. The moon shining down on his structured face. He turns to look at me and catches me staring, I just grin and kiss his nose. My hands were shoved in the pockets of the hoodies.
Archer leans in and kisses me. It was a soft kiss. It reminded me on the kiss we had when my dad and I had gone for dinner with him and his dad.
I kiss him back and after some time, we pull away. Archer stares at me and lets out a sigh. He turns back to the ocean then back at me.
“Xena… I’ve been thinking about this for some time and I feel like I’m ready to tell you. We’ve only been together for 3 months but in these 3 months, I’ve experienced so many things with you. You know what’s wrong with me and how I’m feeling even when I don’t mention anything about it. You’re down to earth and that’s what I love about you, you have an amazing heart, it’s made of gold. You care for the people around you and that’s what I love about you. You understand me and that’s what I love about you. You’re the most pure angel I have ever met in my entire life, I could have never asked for a better soulmate. I love you Xena. With my whole heart. Every ounce of it. I care for you and I can’t wait to start a family with you in the future and live the rest of my life with you” Archer says, never breaking eye contact with me.
“I love you too Archer, with my whole heart. I love you for being the amazing person that you are, I love you for understand me, I love you for keeping up with my bullshit. I appreciate you and I too could have never asked for a better soulmate” I say. I lean in and give him a soft kiss on his lips.
We stayed and talked for about 2 hours before it started to get a bit too cold so we decided to head back home. It was already 10pm and everyone had already gone to their rooms to sleep.
Archer and I walked to our room and I quickly freshened up before I got into bed. Archer was still in the bathroom. I got a text, I looked at my phone and it was from Brie and Cam.
Brie: you need to tell us everything you did when you went for a walk
Cam: Yes, spill the tea sis.
Brie: Cam, yuck.
Cam: Hey, no need to be rude here
Me: I’ll explain everything tomorrow, now shut up.
I put my phone back on the night stand and Archer then walked to the bed and laid down beside me, he wraps his arm around me and rests his head on my chest. I smile and close my eyes, even when I knew the next morning he would be sleeping with his heavy body on top of me and his disgusting drool smeared on my face.
