Chapter Thirteen

“God, you’re beautiful,” Brice told Shay as they sat on a towel at the beach two weeks later. It was the day before her friends had to leave, and Shay wanted them to leave on a good note. Most of all, she wanted to make sure that Heather and Brice didn’t hate each other.

“You’re just saying that,” she smirked as she rolled up the sleeves of her oversized sweater.

“I don’t get why you wear that thing. It’s like a million degrees out here,” Brice informed her.

If he knew the truth, he’d never look at her the same way again. Without extra clothes, she felt bare and exposed.

“I’m not that hot,” she told him quietly.

“Oh, you definitely are,” he argued, touching her face gently.

“Oh, what is it with you and your snarky comments,” she asked him as she watched her friends mingle in the water that she was too afraid to go in.

“Baby, I’d be nothing without my snarky comments. Don’t act like you don’t love it,” Brice commented as he kissed the top of her head.

“I can’t believe they’re leaving already, and I’ve barely spent any time with them,” Shay said regretfully as Brice entwined their fingers together.

“Hey, they’ll be back in eight months’ time. And then you can spend all the time you want with them,” Brice reminded her.

“What happens now,” she asked him as the sun beat down on her skin.

“What do you mean?” Brice asked her in complete confusion.

“Well, I mean, with us. Where do we go now,” she questioned.

He answered her question with an unexpected kiss. She closed her eyes to absorb the kiss. Brice had a way with his kisses, it was always something different. He never went too far with her, never pushed her for more. That was what made him so special. He always put her first. There was a time not long ago when she thought all guys would end up like him.

“We go wherever we want, Shay. We make our own happiness. And as long as we stick by each other, we’ll be okay. I promise. Should we go join them out there?” Brice questioned her, his eyes in the direction of the water.

“I don’t know,” Shay said, not wanting to get rid of the sweater that concealed her tan top.

“Come on; what is the point in coming to the beach if you don’t go in the water?”

“I don’t want to take my sweater off yet,” she informed him honestly.

“If you don’t get your butt up and get in that water, I’m going to throw you over my shoulder into that water,” Brice said, both playful and serious as he stood up and offered her his hand.

“Please don’t make me,” she begged, not wanting to feel so exposed and naked.

“Why won’t you come in the water?” Brice asked, confused.

“Because, I don’t want to,” she said.

“Okay, how about you just come over there with me and we can put our feet in the water. You won’t have to take that sweater off.
