The sun was beginning to setting, but the party on the yacht was
still going on.
People were now turning up the music and dancing on the deck.
I was sitting alone on a sunchair, leaning agaisnt the back of
the chair.
I watched as Alex and Addison danced freely around the deck,
laughing at every movement.
"Colby, do you mind getting the drinks out from the
fridge?" Gerald called out, from the opposite side of the
deck.
I sighed, as I perked up from my chair.
I staggered towards the screen doors, which led to the inside of
the yacht.
As I began to close the screen door, a hand stuck out to stop
me.
I looked up to see Harry's rosy lips curved into a soft
smile.
"Do you want help? Beer bottles are heavy." he
smiled.
I bit my lip to prevent from smiling back, as I nodded.
We headed to the kitchen, as I opened the fridge.
I handed Harry two large boxes of beer.
Harry brushed his fingers with mine as I handed him the boxes of
beer.
My fingers began to tingle with an anticipating feeling, as my
face flared.
To prevent him from seeing my flushed face, I turned back to face
the fridge.
I grabbed two boxes of soda, one Coke and one Sprite.
I avoided looking at Harry as we headed back out to the deck.
Harry lifted his boxes effortlessly, while I struggled.
We settled the drinks on a table, as everyone began rushing to
the table to get themselves a drink.
Harry and I were trapped in a small crowd of thirsty dancers.
Harry immediately reached for my hand, interwining our
fingers.
My eyes widened, as Harry pulled me out of the crowd.
"Are you okay? Did anyone push you?" Harry worriedly
asked.
My breath was held in, and I found myself unable to speak.
I decided to shake me head, as my eyes slowly fell downward,
staring at our hands.
I gasped, as my eyes shot back up.
I saw Harry noticing that our hands were still held together,
tightly.
He swiftly pulled away, as his face turned into a shade of
crimson pink.
I bit the insides of my cheeks, trying to convince myself that he
was not blushing.
"S-sorry." he muttered, shaking the hair away from his
eyes.
I took in a small breath. "It's no big deal."
I found myself lost in Harry's blazing blue green eyes, as
the world that revolved around us disapeered.
I quickly snapped out of it, as a gust of wind blew across my
face, sending my hair flying behind me.
"I-I should go." I uttered, brushing by him.
His hand shot out, holding my shoulder, spinning me around.
I held in my breath, realizing how close we were.
I could smell Harry's spearminted breath, and hear his light
breathing.
I looked around, thankful that no one was near us, since everyone
was out having drinks and dancing farther down on the deck.
"Colby." he breathed.
Shivers were sent down my spine; I loved the way he said my
name.
"H-Harry." I stuttered.
"There's been something I've been meaning to tell
you."
Merry (late) Christmas to everyone!
I didn't have much time to go on yesterday, since it was the
holidays.
But, I hope everyone had fun! :) Thank you for the 4000
followers, you are all beautiful and amazing!

Chapter 20
The past two weeks have been better than ever.
Jason and I never went on a second date, since we both figured we
weren't meant for each other.
Addison, Gerald and I have been getting along perfectly fine, I
literally saw those two everyday.
And, Harry and I have been on neutral terms.
We saw each other every other day, usually at the beach.
I never stopped liking him, though.
I would never be able to fall out of love with his cheeky grin,
eccentric blue eyes with green specks, and his humor that never
failed to make my day.
But, it was now July 23rd, midway through summer.
Today was also the day I finally got to meet the infamous Lyssa,
the girl Gerald always spoke about.
"Are you ready for the party?" Addison asked, as she
applied a coat of mascara, staring intently at the bathroom
mirror.
Addison had come over to my house earlier today, so we could both
get ready for the little party that Gerald was going to throw for
Lyssa.
The party was going to be small, just for all of Gerald's
friends that Lyssa knew; I was an exception.
The party was going to be on a yacht, which was courtesy of
Gerald's uncle.
I nodded, as I admired the way my new tan looked agaisnt my
violet blue romper.
I fluffed out my loose curls, as I slipped on a pair of white
sandal wedges.
Addison drove to the beach south of Los Angeles, where
Gerald's uncle's yacht was.
From the parking lot, we could see that most of our friend's
cars were already there, meaning we had to where late.
We hurriedly rushed up the stairs of the yacht, and onto the
dock.
There was a transparent screen door, where we could see our
little group of friends laughing and taking shots.
Harry's eyes met mine was Addison and I walked in the
yacht.
I blushed when he gave me a small smile.
I noticed that he wasn't with Dani.
My eyes rotated around the room, searching for bleached hair, but
it was no where to be seen.
Dani wasn't at the party.
"Oh, they're here!" we heard Gerald calling.
A tall, beautiful brunette stepped out, with her sparkling brown
eyes glistening.
"Addison! It's been months!" she cheered, wrapping
her arms around Addison.
She pulled away, and gave me a gentel grin.
"And I'm guessing you are Colby, huh?"
I chuckled nervously, as I nodded. I was shy when it came to
meeting new people.
"It's nice to finally meet you." she sweetly
smiled, giving me a quick squeeze.
Now that everyone who was invited showed up, we began to take off
into the ocean.
Everyone rushed out to the deck, where we got a clear view of Los
Angeles.
As everyone stripped into their swimwear and jumped in the pool
that was on the deck, while others tanned on the sunchairs.
I went to the kitchen, searching for something to drink.
"What are you doing here?" a angelic voice asked.
I looked up from the fridge, and found Lyssa smiling down at
me.
"I'm just looking for a drink." I explained, taking
out two cans of Coke, one for her and one for me.
"Thanks." she nodded, popping open the can.
We lounged in the kitchen, as I found out that she was a year
older than Gerald, and wanted to become a singer.
"So, tell me, what's this about you and Harry?"
Lyssa asked out of the blue.
I choked on my soda, as my face flushed.
"Well..."

"That was the worst date ever, Harry. I don't think
we'll be going on double dates anymore." Dani sneered,
shooting me a quick glance.
I sighed deeply, hating the fact that I was actually agreeing
with Dani.
The date was absolutely mediocre.
Jason ended up throwing up in the toilet most of the time, since
he was allergic to the avocados that were in his sushi.
Dani wouldn't stop whining about the raw fish.
And Harry kept staring at me, and turning away everytime I caught
him.
Jason, who was looking a bit pale, leaned agaisnt his car, taking
in slow breaths.
I nudged his elbow, and gently smiled.
"Are you okay? Do you still feel sick?" I asked.
Jason weakly smiled, placing his hand behind his neck.
"I'm fine, for now." he paused. "Sorry if this
wasn't your ideal first date."
I laughed lightly, as shook my head, not wanting to make him feel
bad.
But, with all honesty, I wish this wasn't how my first date
ended up as.
"No, it's okay." I assured.
Jason smiled, as he placed his cold hand upon mine.
"Do you think we could try going out, again? Just us next
time?" he asked hopefully.
The look in his eyes were so pleading, yet heartbreaking.
"I-I'll think about it." I croaked, managing to
keep a smile.
Jason's eyes lit up, obviously buying my lie.
"Great. Do you want me to bring you home now?" Jason
asked.
Suddenly, Harry appeared over my shoulder. "Actually, Colby
and I were just about to take a walk at the park."
I frowned. "I am?"
I looked around the parking lot, noticing that Dani was no where
in sight.
"Yes, you are." Harry sternly said, with an amused
twinkle that lit up his eyes.
I looked over at Jason, who was furrowing his eyebrows with
confusion.
"Is that okay?" I whispered, praying that Jason would
say no.
Jason hesitated, but nodded. "It's fine. I mean, you
guys are just friends, right?"
I felt my heart drop to my gut, as my palms began to sweat.
I nodded quickly, as I held back in my breath. "O-of
course."
I caught Harry from the corner of my eyes giving me a hurt
expression, but I shrugged it off.
Jason pecked my cheek and gave me a tight embrace, and sped off
out of the parking lot of the Japanese restaurant.
The tensions were high between Harry and I.
The last time we were left alone, things didn't turn out too
well.
"So, when did I agree to go to the park with you?" I
joked, attempting to start a conversation.
Harry's lips curved into a sly smile, as he shrugged. "I
just figured you would come."
I chuckled, as we paced into the dark park.
"Where did Dani go?" I asked, kicking a pebble.
"She told me she saw a friend in the parking lot, and told
me she wanted to go clubbing." he shrugged.
"Why didn't you go with her?" I asked.
"Because I wanted to go to the park with you." Harry
grinned.
I threw my head back in laughter, as Harry joined me.
It was just like old times, before all the drama
started.

A little under an hour later, Jason had showered, as I waited in
his backyard, trying not to get splashed by the guys that were
goofing around in the pool.
Jason finally came through the screen doors, with his hair fully
blown dry.
He grinned cheekily at me, as he held out a hand for me.
I smiled back, as I took his hand.
"Where are you two going?" Gerald asked, rising up from
the pool.
Harry's eyes shot towards where Jason's and mine's
hands tied together.
He looked at Jason with envy, as his eyes flashed back to mine
with saddness.
I stared away, shuffling my feet as I focused on the ground.
"I'm taking Colby out for dinner." Jason smiled,
pulling me closer to him.
Addison frowned, as Harry abruptly stood up from his
sunchair.
Dani sprang up with him, due to the fact that she was hanging on
his arm.
"Really? Why don't Dani and I come with?" he
gritted through his teeth.
A part of me wished that he would come, but a part of me also
wished he wouldn't.
Without hesitation, Jason nodded. "Why not? That sounds like
a double date to me."
I cursed under my breath, as Jason gave me a curious look.
Harry jogged up to us, with Dani lunging behind.
"Great, where are we eating?" Harry asked, as we
climbed into Jason's car.
I crossed my arms stubbornly, as I stared out the window.
"I was thinking between Japanese or Italian." Jason
responded.
Dani suddenly let out an annoying moan from the back.
"Ew. I hate raw fish, and pasta is so fattening!" she
cried.
I rolled my eyes, shooting her a glare.
How could Harry deal with someone who was so whiny and
irritating?
If I was with Harry, I would never be like that.
I clenched my fists in anger, wondering why I would even think of
such a stupid thing.
"Maybe you shouldn't have come with us, then." I
muttered under my breath.
I guess I didn't say that quietly enough, because I watched
from the rearview mirror, as Dani sprang up from her seat.
"What did you just say?" Dani asked, flipping
her bleached hair behind her shoulder.
"I said, maybe you shouldn't have come with us
if you're going to be so picky." I groaned, calling out
louder this time.
I could feel Jason glancing towards me, while stuggling to keep
his eyes on the road.
Dani let out a screech, as she laid her head on Harry's
shoulder.
Harry shifted uncomfortably, as Dani glared at me with her icy
blue eyes.
"Harry! Are you going to let her talk to me like that?"
Dani asked.
"Shush, babe. We're going to Japanese, okay,
Jason?" Harry asked.
Jason nodded, as he made a turn.
The care was completely silent, except for the faint sound of
music coming from the radio.
After a good five minutes, I watched as Dani peck Harry's
lips.
I caught Harry making a disgusted face, as Dani's lips met
his.
Dani pulled away, and smiled at me with evilness.
"Well, at least we aren't going to Italian. It's so
fattening, I don't want to look like Colby in the
future." Dani purred.
I was sure that she didn't mean for me to hear it, but I
did.
I could tell Jason didn't hear her, because his eyes were so
concentrated on the road.
Harry, on the other hand, stared at me with sympathy, as I threw
my head back on the cushion.
"Don't say that, babe. She's gorgeous." I heard
Harry mumbled after a minute.

After a heated game of volleyball, my legs and arms were
sore.
I threw on my cropped top over my bikini, which was sweaty from
an hour long game in the sun.
"Perfect timing. The lovebirds are back." Jason, who
was on my team, groaned.
I chuckled. "They gross you out, too?"
Jason turned to face me in shock, as if he just realized that I
was beside him.
His face softened, as he grinned. "Well, Harry is one of my
friends. But, Dani is annoying as hell. All she does is whine and
complain."
"Tell me about it." I huffed under my breath.
Harry and Dani approached us, hand in hand.
Harry's eyes flashed over to me, as I turned away rapidly,
blushing.
I felt footsteps approaching Jason and I, as I slowly moved,
hiding behind him.
Jason gave me a questioning look, but didn't ask me about
it.
"Hey, Jason." Harry paused, and peered behind Jason,
giving me a gentle smile. "Hi, Colby."
I felt my heart beating out of my chest.
Oh, did I love the way Harry made me name sound.
"H-hi." I stuttered, keeping my eyes on the ground.
I could feel Harry smiling down on me, as he turned to face
Jason.
"Jason, mind if I steal Colby for a minute?" Harry
asked.
My eyes widened, as I butted in.
"Acutally, Jason and I were just about to get some ice
cream!" I exclaimed.
Jason furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "We
were?"
Harry smirked, as he ran a hair through his brown head of hair.
"I guess you guys aren't."
I opened my mouth to avoid confrontation with Harry, but he was
already dragging me away.
My arms started to burn where Harry held my slim arm.
Harry pulled me to the other side of the beach, where there were
massive piles of rocks.
"Be careful." Harry whispered, as he began climbing on
the rocks.
I followed him, trying my best not to fall.
We reached on the rocks, as we sat on the hard surface, staring
out at the ocean.
The sun was just setting, so it was a nice view for us.
There was a long moment of silence, before Harry spoke.
"How have you been, Colby?" he asked, facing me with
his gorgeous eyes, which I've missed so much.
I stopped biting on my lower lip, as I tucked my hair behind my
ears.
"I-I've been fine." I muttered, looking away.
I felt Harry's warm fingers tilt my chin to face him, as my
face burned.
"Please look at me when you talk." he softly said,
flashing his eyes to my lips before returning his gaze back to my
eyes.
I sucked in some air. "S-sorry."
A small smile spread across his rosy lips. "Don't
apologize."
More awkward silence. It was killing me.
"Why am I here?" I boldly asked.
Harry sighed, as he stared at me with painful eyes. "I
don't know."
I gulped down the ball that was threatening to spill out
tears.
"Then there's no point of me being here. I should
go." I muttered, standing up.
"Wait!" Harry called. "There's something we
need to sort out."

Harry’s eyes never left mine as Dani
hung herself on him.
Dani finally let go of Harry’s body
after what seemed like hours to me, and gave him a peck on the
cheek.
But, the little peck on the cheek made my
blood boil.
I gulped, and threw a smile on my
face.
“So, what are we doing today?” I
asked, turning my attention back to everyone.
Alex was the bold one who decided to
speak.
“Well, I really want to go surfing. The
waves are awesome today.” He goofily grinned, staring out
at the tides.
“Well, since I just got back,
I’m going to spend my day with Harry.” Dani
announced, wrapping her arms around Harry’s
torso.
“That’s fine. We’ll just go
surfing, then.” Gerald said, pointing to Addison, Alex and
I.
I bravely glanced at Harry, and realized that
he was looking at me this whole time.
But, this time, he didn’t smile or grin
like usually.
“Great. But, you guys will need to teach
Colby and I how to surf.” Addison smirked, already dashing
through the sand.
“I call dibs on Colby!” Alex
called out, grasping my wrists.
I laughed, as Harry gave a glare to
Alex.
Gerald, Alex and I began to depart from Harry
and Dani, as we caught up with Addison, who was already settling
her stuff down.
“Actually, I wanted Gerald to teach me
how to surf.” I chuckled, ripping my wrists away from
Alex.
Alex feigned pain, as he slapped his hand to
his heart, pouting.
“Well, if that’s what you really
want…” Alex cried.
Then he glanced over at Addison, who was in
her navy blue and white stripped bikini.
Suddenly, Alex licked his lips, as he checked
out Addison. “I guess I’ll take sailor girl,
then.”
Alex ran off to Addison, as I was left with
Gerald.
“So, I guess it’s you and me,
then?” Gerald chuckled, taking off his
t-shirt.
I repeated after him, stripping down to my
plain turquoise bikini, that didn’t reveal too
much.
“That really sucks for you, since
I’m a slow learner.” I teased.
We got our surfboards, as we approached the
shore.
After Gerald showed me the basics, I was on
the waves, trying to balance myself out.
I didn’t get it the first few times,
tumbling over my board and colliding in the
water.
But, after a few more tries, I was half decent
at it.
“You can actually stand on the board
now!” Gerald applauded, shaking his damp hair from his
eyes.
I rolled my eyes playfully. “I’m
kind of tired now, though.”
“Break?” Gerald
suggested.
I nodded, as we set our boards down, heading
for the snack bar.
