Tyler grabbed his clothes from his room before returning to the main room in the house near the door. "Callie! You're back from Australia!" His mom greeted as she walked into the living room. "Yeah! It's nice to see you again!" I exclaimed as we hugged each other.

"How was Roger today? Nice I hope." She nervously laughs. "He was extremely nice. I think we're going to like him as our head administrator." Tyler laughed. She nods and looks at my jacket. "I see you're a captain now. How is it?" She asks as I lean against the half wall. "It's amazing, I'm the captain of the Flounders, which means I'm Tyler's captain." I joked as I looked up at him. He laughed as he looked down at his feet. "That's cool, well, I'll get you guys get going." She smiled before hugging the two of us.

"I'll see you guys later." She nodded before retreating to another room. "Bye mom! Love you!" He said before exiting the house with me. We walked back to my house slowly, enjoying our time by ourselves.

Tyler's hand slipped into mine as we walked. I smiled to my self as I looked around the neighborhood. He swung our hands as we walked. The two of us approached my door, but I stopped in front of it, which made Tyler stop and look at me. "What's wrong?" He asked. "Nothing, I just want you to kiss me. We didn't get to earlier." I said before placing my hands on his chest and standing on my tiptoes to kiss him. He chuckled and pulled me closer by my hips as we kissed.

I didn't want to pull away, but I had to. "We should get inside before my mom sends a search party." I joked as I pulled away and returned to my normal height. He nodded while I opened the door for the two of us.

While Tyler and I were cuddling on the couch watching my brother play his games and taking Snapchats,  my dad and grandpa returned. "Callie!" My grandpa greeted as he saw me on the sofa. I untangled Tyler's arms from around my waist and stood up. "Grandpa!" I exclaimed before hugging him. We pulled away.

"Grandpa, this is Tyler, my boyfriend." I smiled. "Nice to meet you." Tyler said as he extended his hand for my grandpa to shake. My grandpa smiled and shook his hand before joining my grandma in the kitchen. The two of us returned to the couch and cuddled.

"Dinner!" My mom yelled from the kitchen. I woke up from my nap and lift my head off of a sleeping Tyler's chest. "Ty, come on. It's dinner." I said as I slowly shook him awake. He slowly nodded as he woke up and followed me to the table. We sat down around the table to see we were having chicken and grilled potatoes for dinner with vegetables. "So, How's lifeguarding you two?" Dad asked. "It's really fun for me, not sure about Tyler over here." I giggled as I looked over to see him smiling. "I have to admit, I did have a lot of fun today even though those swims to the buoy was hard." Tyler laughed as we all ate.

"Maybe we should take a drive down to the beach tomorrow, Tom." My grandma said to my grandpa. "Sure, I'll go." He excitedly nods as he eats. I nod as I slip my jacket off my shoulders before continuing to eat.

The next morning, Tyler and I ate breakfast that my grandma made before we had even gotten up. My grandma left the room to get ready for the beach. "Bye grandma! I'll see you at the beach later!" I exclaimed. "Bye Callie!" She yelled from the guest room. Tyler and I grabbed everything we needed before walking outside to wait for the bus. I slipped my phone into my jacket pocket and talked with Tyler as we waited. "Hey, babe?" He asked with a mischievous smile. I looked over at him. He puckered his lips.

I giggled and briefly kissed his lips before the bus pulled up. We bounced onto the bus after the door opened and sat down. "So, I texted Dylan last night and she said she's riding home with us to my house!" I exclaimed as I got on the bus. Everyone cheered as we drove away from my house.

"Gina you're in the canoe, Lizzie you're pulling her. Eric's in the canoe and Tyler is pulling that one." I nodded as I gesture over to the canoe. The four of them nodded and got where I told them to be. Tyler and Lizzie started pulling the small canoe type things. I forgot what they were called.

I looked to my right to see my grandparents. I waved before turning back to my pod. I blew my whistle as they finished. "Switch!" I yelled. They switched spots. I blew my whistle again and they pulled. My whistle blew again when they finished.

"Bandage!" I yelled as they got out. The four of them trudged over to me and the two who pulled sat down. I passed Tyler and Lizzie the bandages. "Go!" I exclaimed. They quickly patched the others up. "And done!" I said as the timer went off. Eric's hand was bandaged with his head. "Are you just getting him back for what happened last year?" I giggled. "Yeah!" Tyler laughed as he took the bandages off of Eric. The rest of us laughed as Eric jokingly hit Tyler's arm.

"Okay, it's lunch." I noticed as I saw Logan walk past with her pod. They nodded as we collected our things and cleaned up. We placed our things in HQ and went to lunch. The six of us sat down at a table.

"So, plans for tonight?" Dylan asked as she slid into our table. "I don't know yet, my mom has yet to tell me." I shrugged. Everyone nodded. "I have to run home to get ready and take a shower before I go." Gina. Lizzie and Eric agree. "I'm just going to take a quick shower here before I go." Dylan shrugged.

"My mom invited her best friend's family. Their son will not leave me alone." I groaned as I glanced over at my grandparents. "What do you mean he won't leave you alone?" Tyler asked, gently guiding my eyes to meet him by gently pulling my chin towards his direction. I glanced into his gorgeous green eyes, and looked away.

"When we were younger, he had a huge crush on me, and I think he still does. I tell him every time he tries to do something to me that I'm I'm not interested, but he never listens." I confessed as I avoided Tyler's eyes. "He can't get away with this. He should respect your choice." Gina growls.

"Look at me." Tyler softly says. My eyes slowly lift off a random object and into his eyes. "I'll be by your side the whole time. I'll quickly get ready and be over at your place as soon as I can. I promise you he's not going to try anything with all of us around. We can all hang out in your room or play games in the living room. We got you." Tyler softly says as he gestured to our pod. Everyone beamed back at me. I smiled at everyone and turned back to Tyler.

"Thank you." I softly said before kissing his cheek.
