SKY'S POV

Kai and Hazel left today. I told them goodbye yesterday at the park.

I'm in my room right now, laying on my bed, reading a book.

Someone is calling me. It's Henry

"Hi" I say after answering the phone

"Hey, wanna head to the beach?" Henry asks

"Yeah, but are you sure we're not going die of how hot it is?" I say heading to my closet

"No, Just put alot of sunscreen on"

"Ok, but you're going to have to pick me up" I say

"Yeah, I know. Bye" he says then hangs up

HENRY'S POV

When I get to Sky's house I see her standing outside. She's wearing a white shirt and black shorts.

She waves and gets in my car. We talk on the way there. When we arrive. We walk down to where the water starts

She takes her shirt and shorts off, reveling her bright yellow bikini. I've never seen her wear it before

"Is it new?" I ask

"Yeah, you like?" Sky asks and does a 360 spin

"Yeah, I love it" I say.

I do love it, it's just making me get flustered.

I take my shirt off.

"Hey, can you put sunscreen on my back please" Sky asks and hands me a sunscreen

"Yeah sure" I say and put some sunscreen on my hand.

I start putting it on her. Her skin, it's so smooth. Her body is so amazing. My hands slowly go to her shoulders

I'm getting distracted. I think about her every day and every day I'm with her, they just get louder. I try to cancel them out by sleeping with Amelia.

"Done" I say

"Thanks. You want me to put some on you"

"Sure" I say, knowing I'm going to enjoy this

She puts some sunscreen on her hand and starts putting it on my back. He hands are so soft and gentle. She moves closer to me, as her hands go to my stomach and close to my v-line. She steps back and her hand go to my shoulders

"Done. You should probably put some on you face as well" Sky says

"Well I'm a lazy baby, so can you do it for me please" I say. My intention is so that she touches me more. I know. I'm a genius.

"Ok" Sky says in a soft tone and starts putting little dots of sunscreen on my face

While she's rubbing it in our eyes lock.
I feel myself wanting to kiss her.

I remember when we were arguing that she kissed Kai, she mentioned that I was too afraid to make a move. Is that what she wants? Me to make a move?

Screw this.

My hands go to her waist, I pull her closer and kiss her.

She pulls away. Looks me in the eyes and kisses me.

She pulls away again, this time she doesn't start kissing me again

"Let's just enjoy the beach, okay?" she says in a soft tone and keeps on looking at my lips

Damn it. Did I mess up our friendship now?

She grabs my hand and pulls me to the see.

We start talking for a while then everything is normal again, like nothing happened...

SKY'S POV

Henry dropped me off at my house and immediately when I got to my room I started giggling like weird

Henry kissed me. Whyyyy did I pull back.

It feels like my feelings for him that I've been rejecting, quadrupled in seize.

I throw myself on my bed. I really need Hazel, but I'll tell her when she gets back. I don't want to call her and interrupt anything.

HENRY'S POV

I'm busy driving. I going to Sky's house.
I really need to talk to her.

I arrive at her house and no one's home. Sometimes Sky will stay alone. She doesn't like it though.

I go in her room

I see Sky. She's in tiny black underwear and in a black bra laying on her bed reading a book

"Oh I'm sorry" I say and turn around

"No it's fine." She says calmly "bro you can look. It's not like I'm naked"

Bro?

I turns around and see her putting a big, grey shirt on.

It looks like Kai's shirt

"Sorry, It's just really hot and no one's home"

"Is that... Kai shirt?" I ask

"yeah. I borrowed it, never gave it back"

Interesting...

"Look. after that kiss, I couldn't stop thinking about you and I've always had feelings for you I just pushed them aside. If you don't feel the same, it's fine, but i need to try so... will you be my girlfriend?"

Her eyes light up. She starts giggling like crazy

Is she going to reject me?

"Yes, I'll be your girlfriend. Sorry for laughing, I just got butterflies" she says, while she slowly stops giggling

Then she walks up to me and starts kissing me. I put my hands on her waist, feeling way more confident then last time.

My hands go under her shirt and I start caressing her back

Her hands are around my neck

I start kissing her neck. I start lifting her shirt up, then she pulls away

"I'm not ready for that" Sky says in a soft tone

"Sorry I-" I stop when I realize that she's shaking

Am I making her that uncomfortable?

"I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable" I say, holding her hand

"No, it's not you. Something just happened" she says then sits on her bed

"What do you mean Something happened?" I ask and sit beside her

"At the party, Holden's party. He pushed me against the wall and kissed me, without my permission. So now it feels.. triggering to kiss someone and that's why I pulled away when we kissed at the beach" she says still a little shaky

I can see it in her face, she's trying not to cry

I give her hug

"I'm sorry I wasn't there" I say sympathetically

"It's fine" she says and holds me tight
