"Are you almost ready Natalia?!" Tracey screamed from the other side of the door.

"Yeah just give me a minute." I said back to her.

"Okay well I'll be waiting in the car. Jason and Asher are already down the beach."

"Okay" I yelled back.

I heard her footsteps descended down the hall. I looked up at the mirror and looked at my neon pink bikini in the mirror.

It was our last day in Hawaii and all of us decided to go to the beach. Well... not really.

Tracey and Jason both brought it up earlier today. I was not really up for it at first, but Tracey kept on begging me to go.

So, I finally said yes, but we all turned to Asher and he shrugged saying 'I guess there's nothing better to do'

Leave it to him to be rude, when someone invites him too something. He was so annoying sometimes.

I put on some shorts and sunglasses on top of my head. My hair was in a ponytail, and I didn't even bother putting make up on.

I put on my flip flops, grabbed my handbag and walked out of the door closing it behind me. I walked towards the elevator and entered in.

I arrived in the lobby, and I saw Tracey there standing waiting. I walked up to her and spoke.

"What are you waiting for?" I asked her.

She looked up at me, smiling.

"I was waiting for you."

"Oh, um... thanks?"

We both walked towards the door outside. We walked to the parking lot when we spotted them.

Jason was talking to Asher. He was wearing a black shirt with matching black shorts.

Tracey ran up to Jason, saying something to him. Then all of a sudden, they broke out arguing.

I swear they argue more than Asher and I do.

I felt Asher looking at me on the side. I looked up quickly catching his gaze and outfit quickly then I looked back at the scene.

However, Tracey finally pulled Jason aside, arguing more leaving Asher and I alone. I still felt his gaze on me. So, I finally decided to look up at Him.

He was all I can think about for the last few days and nights, since that night that he apologized. We have been doing great.

Almost too great.

It's almost like I'm waiting for something bad or another argument around the corner, so it can blow up in my face.

But it hasn't yet, and I'm hopeful that there won't be anything. Because I have concluded that I have feelings for him.

I don't know how deep they go, but it's there. Just sitting and taunting me. His blue eyes kept my brown one’s captive.

I breathed a deep sigh, that must have got his attention because he cleared his throat and went on the other side of his car.

He jumped into the driver’s seat. While I jumped into the passenger one. He put the keys into the ignition and drove on the road.

We finally arrived at the beach, and parked. We got out of the car at the same time. I pulled out my handbag from the seat and closed the door.

I was planning on walking with Asher, but he walked fast ahead, leaving me behind. Well not really because...

"You ready to beach it up!?" Tracey practically screamed in my ear beaming.

It was so crazy to me, she was literally screaming her head off a minute ago to Jason, but now she was like the happiest person alive.

I chuckled a little but nodded my head. She smiled even wider and dragged me down a path that led to the beach.

I looked around at the beautiful scenery. There was the big body of water that sparkled under the sun.

There were beautiful green mountains out onto the distance, and fluffy white clouds onto the bank. I felt the warm sand curl between my toes slipping into the opening of my flip flops.

It was kind of crowded. There were families, children, group of people playing volleyball, and others.

I looked ahead of me and I already saw Asher and Jason in the water swimming. WELL-

"Well I guess we can forget about going to the beach together." Tracey said in a little angry tone.

"Yeah tell me about it" I said laughing a bit.

It was true though, they did kind of ditched us and i hasn't even been a minute. I mean I thought it was the 4 of us not 2.

I unpacked my bag, and laid my towel next to Tracey's. I looked back up at the ocean, and actually recognized that Asher was shirtless.

And oh my... I was literally paralyzed he had muscle everywhere, and was toned EVERYWHERE!

He was so good to look at. Every time he moved his muscle would move and flex under his skin. I think he knew I was staring because he looked at me and smirked

I obviously looked down, and released a breath. I realized that I still had my shorts on. I put my hands to my waist and pulled them off.

I liked my body, I wasn't skinny but I had a flat stomach, but curves in the right places, I was a 'normal' size.

I had a few stretch marks on my sides from Miya, but you can barely see them.

At this point I felt his gaze on me So I looked up and for some reason I though he would look away, but he was challenging me and he wanted me to know that he was staring at me undress with no shame. It was more like his character.

Tracey stood right in front of me blocking the view I had of him. We then walked down to the water.

I dipped my toe in and it was cold. I dipped my other toe, and it was still cold.

I don't know why I thought the temperature was going to change. However, it was still freezing.

"Come on Natalia stop being a baby!" I heard Jason yell

"I'm not, give me some time. Why are you focusing on me anyway?!" I yelled back.

"Feisty, I like it." He said with a wink.

Tracey slapped him on the chest with that comment. I didn't even notice that she was in the water. I guess I was the last one going in.

I was taking my time putting only my foot in the water. I felt a shade covering me blocking the sun.

I looked up and saw Asher dripping wet. His hair was falling in his face, and his blue eyes were piercing mine. He was so gorgeous, until my eyes fell onto his lips.

I saw a mischievous grin come upon his face, before I could even ask about the grin.

He had me up in the air in his arms, before I came crashing down the water. Once the water hit me I was instantly numb.

I swam to the top, to catch my breath. When I finally felt air fill my lungs I opened my eyes, and glared at Asher.

I was ready to yell at him, but he was laughing so hard. Actually, this was probably the first time I saw him laugh and be so... carefree.

"It's not funny!" I said crossing my arms.

He looked up at me, but busted out laughing again. His smile and laughed was so infectious that I started laughing, and then Tracey and Jason joined in as well.

Hours later it was beginning to become night fall and the beach started to clear out.

I was packing my bag, when I spotted Asher’s figure staring at the sky. He had his hands in his pockets, just looking up.

I walked down and decided to join him, I stood right next to him. I felt his warmth radiate off him, and for some reason that gave me comfort.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" I heard a voice interrupt my thoughts.

I looked up and saw Asher still looking at the night sky, but I'm pretty sure he was talking to me, so I answered.

"Yeah it is" I said breathing a sigh.

It really was, there were so many stars in the sky shining brightly, it illuminated the water and everything else, and the moon was glowing it looked

Sometimes I forget how beautiful things can be when you actually stop and stare at them." He whispered almost to himself.

"Or carefree?" I asked opening up a conversation.

He snapped his head to me looking confused.

"What do you mean?" He asked scrunching his eyebrows.

" I think that sometimes you forget how carefree you can be, because you're stressed, or something is always on your shoulders."

He kind of looked shocked that I said that but he looked down and was deep in thought. So, I felt like I needed to continue.

"You know I think today was the first time that I ever seen you normal." I said.

"Normal?"

"Yeah, like actually relaxing, taking-"

"I wasn't relaxing, I was just doing normal things that normal people do." He said a little rudely.

"Okay, there's nothing to catch an attitude about Asher. I was-"

"Just what? Thinking I was slacking off?!" At this point he was raising his voice.

"No just because you're relaxing doesn't mean your slacking off. I didn't mean to offen-"

"Good, because slacking off isn't in my era like some people-"

"If you interrupt me one more time, or throw your typical insults. I swear Asher, you are pushing the wrong buttons. Learn to not get offended from nothing. Learn to control your anger and rudeness. You're how old? And your acting like a child. Grow up please for the sake of both of us!" I yelled in his face, and stood there for him to say something.

He clenched his jaw, and looked away until he finally walked off. It was probably best considering how we were right now.

I watched him walk away until I saw him disappear. I looked up at the stars and breathed out a sigh I was holding.

He was so difficult it was literally an off and on again struggle with him. It was just so hard for him to not be the arrogant, and rude person I seen and dealt with the first time I stepped into his office.

I just wish he would make an effort, I feel like he doesn't even try anymore. I know I may be dramatic about the whole thing but...

I wish that life,

Or the people in it

Can be like the stars
