CHAPITRE DEUX
~MEL’s POV~
“…they’re coming in about a week,” I finished, laughing at everyone’s look.
The Lucky Eights were a group that my friends and I started freshman year. New friends were added and old friends were lost, but we always incredibly tight. The group consisted of Me, Nikki, Emily, Amanda, Mary, Dana, Hannah, and Megan. We ranged in age from 15 to 19, each of us adding something amazing to our scrapbook that we took everywhere.
We all screamed, running around the beach crazily until we couldn’t breathe. Sitting back down on our towels, Mary said, “So the entire family is gonna be here for the whole summer?!”
“Yeah. And my parents are out of town all summer so I’m staying with them,” I replied, grinning.
“No way!” Hannah yelled.
“No lie,” I answered.
“I’m so bummed though,” Hannah replied.
“How come?” Dana asked.
“I’m leaving in 2 weeks for my movie. I’ll be in Europe while you’re having fun here.” Hannah had finally landed her casting call and was off to film and independent feature in the UK.
“But it’s Europe!” Emily exclaimed.
“But I haven’t seen the guys in forever!” she protested.
“I know, but hellooooo…EUROPE!” Nikki added.
We all laughed and watched the sun set. In one week, my favorite family would be back from overseas for an entire summer. I couldn’t wait to see them, it had been too long. Soon each girl went her separate ways, saying their goodbyes as they grabbed up their towels and headed home.
After awhile only Nikki and I were left, watching the stars. Nikki sat up and said, “I’m sorry Mel, but I gotta Jet. My mom wants me up early for her art show, and need my beauty sleep.”
I laughed and hugged her saying, “Alright girly. Call me in the morning.”
I sat there hugging my knees for awhile, listening to the waves crash against the beach.
“We don’t have time left to regret
HOOOOLLLDDD –“
I grabbed my phone and opened the inbox. It was an IM from my favorite boy.
<DJD>Hey- How is you, my love?
I smiled and typed back.
>CUTIEPATOOTIE< Sitting and watching the world go by…
<DJD> Mind if I join you?
>CUTIEPATOOTIE< how could I pass up a chance like that?
“You couldn’t,” a male voice said behind me.
~JOE’S POV~
She slowly turned around and saw me standing there, roses in hand.
“Well, well. If it ain’t Mr. DJ Danga himself,” she said, smiling wryly.
I walked up to her and bowed.
She smiled her amazing smile and took the roses, saying “Thank you.” She then walked off in the direction of the Lifeguard station, leaving me to look at my shoes.
I laughed running after her. “So no hug for Superman?” I replied, tackling her to the sand.
“I would give you a hug, but you’ve kinda made it difficult to breathe, let alone move,” she replied.
She rolled over, pinning me to the sand. Laughing I said, “Ooo, Catwoman got skillz.”
“Something like that.”
She smiled, gazing into my eyes. We leaned into to kiss, but were interrupted by Kevin, who was walking calmly towards us.
“Well, that didn’t take long,” he said smiling. “Good to see you, Mel.”
I looked over to see Nick running full speed at us. He jumped and landed right on Mel, laughing. She turned around and hugged him. “Oh my gosh, CURLY!!!” she screamed.
He laughed. “Blue-eyes, it’s been way too long,” he said, giving her a kiss on the cheek.
She got up and jumped on Kevin’s back when he wasn’t looking. Kevin laughed, turning his head to smile at her. “Hiya Mel, I miss these moments,” he said, swinging her around.
She laughed, her blue eyes sparkling in the moon light. I grabbed her around the waist and pulled her off Kevin. Kevin turned around and tackled me, pulling Mel with him. Nick jumped and landed on the entire group. Laughing, we launched ourselves into a full on tackle fight.
After 20 minutes of furious tackle action, we fell to the sand and made a human pillow chain, just like we used to before we left for the tour. Looking up at the stars I said, “I miss these moments too.”
