The sound of the stove alarm winds through the house. I run to turn it off and pull out the perfect croissants. The smell intoxicates my nose as I set them on the counter to cool off.

After checking the endless messages from Maddie and putting on semi-clean clothes I look out the window and see a car in my driveway. Not any car. Blake Quinn's car.

CRUD!!!! I hear a knock on the door. What the hell is he doing here? I open the door. He is wearing a tight black shirt with a gray and black flannel over top and black jeans. I think I might drool.

"Hey."

"Hey. I see you've found your car." I chuckle.

"Yeah and my laptop top too. An old lady with amnesia thought it was her car." he smirked.

"Oh My. Sorry about the other day I kinda blew up for no reason." I looked down. I didn't want to him to see me like that."But could I make up for it in croissants?"

"Hell Yeah!" He said flopping himself down at the dining room table.

"About the other day-"

"No need to apologize. We all have our bad days." He smiled and the sun hit his face just right. Wow. He was so perfect.

"Also why are you here?" I ask while stirring up the homemade maple syrup.

"Well I was going to ask you if you would like to go to the beach with me?"

"Don't you have a girlfriend? The girl that was with you at the mall?"

He started laughing. I put a croissant on his plate and drizzled the maple syrup over it.

"No Harmony that's my sister." He said hiding his face in his hands.

"Oh my god. I'm so sorry." I said blushing intensely.

"You put maple syrup on croissants?" He says, fascinated.

"You don't?" I said munching on a crossiant.

"I'm gonna go get my swimsuit. I'll be right back." I run to my room and dig through my drawers. I forgot to wash my bathing suit from last time I went with Maddie.

"Shit." I run back out to see Blake looking at my old pictures.

"My swimsuit isn't clean." I sigh.

"Its okay. There is an extra bag in the trunk." He is still holding a picture of me and my brother.

"I was so happy there. I was in the 2nd grade and we were at the zoo. I remember being so scared of the penguins. But my brother he wasn't scared of anything. That was back when everything was normal.

We walked out and he opened the door to his car. His car was a jet black sports car with a blue lighting bolt in the middle of the hood. It was really cool.

For the entire car ride we sang along to all of the songs on the radio. Even if they weren't my type of music I still had a blast just singing and laughing.

"We're here! Your swim stuff is in the bag in my trunk. I also brought a surf board." He walked around and opened my car door.

"Wow you are such a Gentleman. Thank you kind sir." I said in my best British accent.

  I open his trunk. I see a Neon Yellow PINK bag and the most magnificent surf board I have ever seen. It is tye dyed yellow, blue and green and has black lettering in the midde that says: Laugh Loud And Live Louder. Since we live by the beach I am not surprised he has a board but this is one of a kind.

  I grab the bag and the board and close the trunk. Blake is nowhere in sight.

   I walk down to the changing room and open the bag. It includes showering stuff, sunscreen, a coverup and a very very very revealing bathing suit
It is constructed of a bra piece that covers half of my boob and a thong like under piece. And I finally realize why Blake said he had an extra bathing suit.

   I storm out of there with the bathing suit on under the large baggy shirt I found in someone else's forgotten bag. As soon as I lock eyes with him I flare my nostrils and he looks scared to death.

"YOU PERV! ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS THE HOW YOUR INSIGNIFICANT TWERP SELF CAN BE PLEASED BY USING MY BODY FOR SELF DESIRE! I HARMONY GREENE WILL HAVE NO PART IN YOUR LITTLE GAMES!" I shout. Everyone looks over to us. I don't care. This shithead deserves it.

  "Harmony calm down. I'll explain it all later."

  "LATER? LATER? WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS LATER! YOU JUST WANT TO OBJECTIFY ME FOR YOUR OWN SEXUAL WANTS!" I yelled and then I kicked him in the balls. He fell to the ground.

  "Owwww! Harmony I didn't pick out the swimsuit. My sister did. Oh nelly this hurts." he said in fetis position.

  Crap. CRAP! I just kicked Blake Quinn in the balls as hard as I could for no reason. Oops.

  "Oh my gosh Blake! I am so sorry! Are you ok?" I said franticly.

  "I am fine but thanks. I am going to get changed. Do you want some swim trunks?"

   "No. I think this shirt covers everything." I say.

   "Okay. Harmony you look really pretty." he says as he turns around walking towards the bathroom.

   Did Blake Quinn just call me pretty? No he called me really pretty. I have to tell Maddie. I reach in my bag and grab my phone. I press call next to her name.

   "HARMONY GREENE YOU NASTY PEICE OF CRUD! I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU! WHY DID YOU NOT CALL ME BACK?!" she said screaming.

   "I am so sorry Maddie. I promise I will never do that again." I pause after I hear nothing I say, "Blake and I are at the beach. He just called me really pretty!" I exclaim.

  "Are you for real? Omg when? Where is he because if he is listening you could be in a dire situation."

  I look around me and he is no where in sight. Then I lift my eyes to the changing rooms and he is standing outside. I immediately drop my the phone and I reach to pick it up.

  "I am going to have to call you back." I say and then I hang up.

  I look up. He is standing in front of me shirtless. He has rock hard abs that are perfectly toned to match the rest of his body. I have to literally cover my mouth to stop the drool from coming out.

  "Wow. You take great care of your body." I say. Wow now that was very lame.

  "I guess so. I do so many sports I guess thats what tones them." He hits his abs and my lip quivers. What I would do to touch them...

  "Harmony. I am going down to the water. You coming?" he asks with a smirk.

  I blush. "Sure." We run down to the water and we wade in the shallow end until he splashes me with water.

  "Now this is war!" I splash him and he splashes me and this goes on and on until someone drops by for a visit.

  She is short and stubby and has a thick sunburn with a sunscreen on top of her nose. She is wearing a neon fanny pack that I can see from above the water and a very cheap sunhat. She is the extreme version of a tourist.

  "Young Men and Women should be learning at school in these hours not acting like 5 year olds at Disney land."

  Me and Blake look at each other and laugh. Then I look in his eyes. We are both thinking the same thing.

  "One...two...three" We both took our cupped hands and splashed the women as hard as we could.

  "Oh you nasty brats!" She picked up her hat that was floating in the water and walked away. Me and Blake started laughing so hard.

  "I need to go get my surf board. Do you want to come with me? Maybe you could get a rental surfboard."

  "Sure." I said smiling. Then under water I could feel his hand slip into mine. I internally screamed. Is this happening? Did Blake Quinn just hold my hand?
When we got close to the shore I ran to his surfboard and picked it up.

   "I think I choose this board." I say with a smirk.

  "Okay silly. You can have it. Please don't break it. Do you know how to surf?" he asks.
I start laughing.

   "Do I know how to surf? Let me show you something." I run down the beach with the board by my side until I get to the water and start paddling out.

  There are no good waves but I make the best with what I have. I get on the board right before the wave and I ride it until I catch a new one and I do this continuously until I see it.

   The perfect wave. I can't miss it so I start paddling out to it. I jump on the board right when I get to it and I ride the tunnel until the end. Then I jump up and do an aeriel on my board. I land perfectly. I hear clapping from the shore. A crowd of tourists and Blake stand amazed. I ride the next wave back to shore.

  "That was totally tubular!" Blake says with his tounge stuck out. I laugh.

  "No one says that."

  "I just did." I look into his eyes.

   He is smiling with his eyes. Its beautiful. It over takes me with such passion and joy. I lean into him still looking into his beautiful eyes and our lips meet for the first time.
