Noah… I questioned, wondering what the hell he was doing.
All of a sudden, Noah put his arms under me and lifted me off the floor with ease. I was pressed tightly against his chest, with no room to move. My eyes went wide as I felt him turn towards the water, only about twenty feet away.
Crap ! I muttered, trying to struggle.
Don’t fight it honey, he laughed above me, pulling me in tighter as he ran to the water’s edge with me still in his arms.
Noah ! I cried, laughing as I knew there was no way I could get him to drop me.
And as he reached the water, I looked up at him. He had a huge grin on his face, and for that moment, we were completely care-free. Suddenly, the cold water crashed against my thighs, causing me to gasp in surprise. I heard Noah suck in a breath too, as the water cascaded over us both.
I felt his arms release me, and I spun around. You’ll pay for that ! I laughed, lunging towards him.
But he just darted out of my grasp and dove under the water. Swivelling on the spot, I noticed him surface a few feet away from me, the water dripping down his tanned body. Come and get me gorgeous, he yelled, raising his arms up high and waving at me.
I just laughed and waved back. You better swim fast college boy !
And with that, I dove under the surface and smiled, the waves crashing over me as the sun shone overhead.

Noah :
I laughed hysterically as Lily thrashed in my arms. In fact, I was laughing so much that I was having trouble keeping a hold of her. Noah ! She screamed, If you even
Bombs away ! I yelled, thrusting my arms forward and releasing my hold on her.
She hit the water with a splash, sending water right in to my face. But I didn’t care. I just laughed as I watched her surface, gasping for air. Her blonde hair was plastered down her shoulders, and she had a very annoyed look on her face.
You really are an ass ! She frowned, rubbing her eyes.
Now you know you don’t mean that, I teased, wading forward so I was within touching distance.
Oh, you wanna bet ?! She laughed, starting to back away from me.
Uh-uh, I smiled, shaking my head. Where do you think you’re going honey ?
I lunged towards her, grabbing hold of her hand. She didn’t even have time to register what was happening before I pulled her towards me, wrapping both of my arms around her waist, trapping her against me. Although I was surprised to see that this time, she didn’t squirm or try to get away. Grinning down at her, I stared straight in to her gorgeous grey eyes. They took my breath away every time I looked at them. Her lips were parted slightly, and she was breathing heavily, like she was out of breath. Looking at the corner of her eye, I saw a drop of water gliding down.
Hold still, I whispered, dipping my head forward.
What are you doing ? She whispered back, sounding very unsure.
Without answering her, I placed my lips at the corner of her eye, kissing away the drop of water that was beginning to slide down. It tasted salty against my lips, but I didn’t even think about that. The only thing I could think about was Lily and the way her skin tasted, sun kissed. I smiled against her cheek, as I felt her relax in to me, rubbing her hand up and down my back.
That’s not fair, I heard her moan. You always think a kiss will make everything better.
I laughed and pulled away from her, although I kept my arms around her waist. So, are you saying I should just stop kissing you ? I joked, raising an eyebrow at her. Because I’m afraid I just can’t do that.
Lily just smiled at me and leant forward slightly. I frowned a little when I no longer felt her stroking my back. But that frown disappeared as I watched Lily place her hands on my stomach, stroking my chest softly with the tip of her finger. My breath caught in my throat as I lifted my eyes to her face. I was just about to reach out to her and kiss her the way I was longing to, when she winked at me.
What
Payback’s a bitch ! She laughed, before springing forward and pushing me under the water.
I closed my eyes as I went under, and I felt the water crash over my head as she pushed me down. The faint echo of her laughter was audible from above, and I couldn’t help but smile a little as I kicked off from the bottom. The water glided over me before I hit the surface and the warmth of the sun hit my shoulders. I opened my eyes, glancing around for Lily. Laughing, I spotted her about forty feet away, waving her arms at me.
I win ! She yelled, her laughter echoing in my direction.
Shaking my head, I couldn’t help but smile as I threw myself forward and began swimming towards her. It took me barely a couple of seconds, seeing as I was a good swimmer. When I looked up, I was surprised to see that she hadn’t moved from her spot. She was just sitting on the sand, as the water lapped around her. Walking out of the ocean, I jogged towards her and sat down, my shoulder touching hers.
Were you just checking me out gorgeous ? I smirked, knowing she had been staring at me when I had jogged towards her.
Maybe… She muttered, staring in the opposite direction and refusing to look me in the eye.
I chuckled softly and leant over, brushing my lips lightly over her collarbone. Her head swivelled around and she gasped in surprise, not expecting the sudden contact. I pulled my lips away and looked at her. You were so checking me out ! I grinned, pushing off from the sand and standing up.
You are so cocky, she huffed, reaching up and taking hold of the hand that I was holding out for her.
As I grabbed her hand, I yanked her up with more force than necessary, sending her crashing in to my bare chest. Maybe… I whispered, placing a loose strand of hair behind her ear. But you love it.
She just stared up at me, a peculiar look on her face, like she wanted to say something. But as I looked at her, the look vanished, and I wondered if I had just imagined it.
I’m getting kind of hungry, she said, interrupting my thoughts. Do you wanna get something to eat ?
You read my mind, I smiled.
Taking hold of her hand, we walked over to the bags and towels and made sure we had everything. I tucked my t-shirt in to the waistband of my trunks, and held my Converse in one hand. Turning around, I stared as Lily put the white dress back on over her costume.
Oh, you don’t have to do that honey, I smiled, winking at her.
What ? Just so you can letch at me all afternoon, she laughed, pulling the dress down.
I just shook my head, trying to look very disappointed (which I was). I could have stared at her legs all damn day. As Lily swung the bag over her shoulder, I took hold of her hand and smiled. Let’s go gorgeous.
