Audrey's POV

I woke up to Christopher's arm wrapped around my waist. He was softly breathing next to my ear. I started thinking about what I said to him yesterday.

Oh god. I confessed to him my feelings for him. Why did I do that?

He brought me closer towards his chest and I got the warmness in my chest.

Now I know why I told him that I liked him. Because I actually do have feelings for him. He is very sweet, funny, caring....he is everything.

I looked out the window from our room. I could tell the sun was just about to come up. I still should get some sleep before it's actually time to get up. I interlocked my fingers with his and felt secure. I fell asleep.

Christopher's POV

I woke up and Audrey's fingers were interlocked with mine. This felt good. She actually confessed her feelings for me. Winning.

I'm glad she did though. I always got the feeling but I wasn't quite sure. Everything Audrey does is unexpected. That's one of the reasons why I am attracted to her. She is a mystery.

I could smell the aroma of my Mom's chocolate chip banana pancakes. Yum. My Mom used to always wake us up by her delicious pancakes.

I felt Audrey shift a little. She was waking up. I knew she woke up when she stretched her legs. The vibration of her stretch was felt under the sheets. A comforting feeling.

"What is that wonderful smell?" She said once she finished stretching.

"My Mom's delicious chocolate chip banana pancakes."

"It's a good smell to wake up to, that's for sure."

"It sure is." I said knowing inside that her smell has to be the best smell to wake up to.

She slowly turned so her face was facing mine.

"Did you sleep well?" She asked innocently.

"I am noticing I sleep 100x better when you are with me."

"I'm going to admit. That I do too." I smiled at her response. "We should go downstairs to eat those delicious pancakes."

"Sounds like a plan."

We got out of bed and fixed ourselves before going downstairs. Audrey put some shorts on and fixed her hair before going down. Must she look so perfect.

She grabbed my hand as we were walking down the hall. We made it downstairs and we could see that my Dad and Evelyn were already setting up the table.

Audrey let go of my hand. "Carol do you need help?"

"Oh dear that would be wonderful. You could help Evelyn finish setting up." Audrey nodded and started helping Evelyn.

I continued to watch her in admiration.

"Son."

She is going to be a perfect wife.

"Son?" My Dad brought me out of reverie.

"Oh. Yeah?"

"I could tell this girl has gotta under your skin. You haven't taken your eyes or that smile off of her since you guys came down."

"Dad, you have no idea." He laughed and slapped my shoulder.

You have no idea.

Audrey's POV

The whole family was eating at the table. It was a comforting experience. Not one I am going to forget.

"Do the jet skis have gas Dad?" Ryan asked.

"They sure do. Made sure they did before we came down."

"What about the boat?" Emily asked.

"Of course. Everything is ready."

"After breakfast everyone put their suits on and go outside. Okay?" Carol said.

Everyone agreed.

We were upstairs changing into our bathing suits.

I changed in the restroom and Christopher changed in the room.

I wore the bikini with the fringes.

I put on my cover up with my sandals. I walked out and seen Christopher wearing all black trunks.

"We're matching." He said smiling.

"It would appear so." I said smiling back.

"Ready to go down?"

"Yup." He grabbed my hand and we walked downstairs towards the backyard.

Seeing the backyard was amazing. The lake was right there. Right there!

Amazing. I thought to myself.

We walked down the rock pathway towards the lake.

"Bro! Give me a hand will ya?" Ryan said handling the jet ski.

"Yeah. Wait up." He let go of my hand and took off his muscle shirt.

Oh. My. God.

His body was definitely a gift from god himself.

"Close your mouth beautiful. I don't want a lake fly to get in your mouth." He said in a amusement.

I closed my mouth and looked away. He started to run towards his brother. They were both in the water. I was just standing looking at Christopher. Oh Christopher....

"Ready to go in?" I jumped when I heard Carol from behind me.

"Oh yeah. It's pretty hot out today."

"Supposed to be 105° in the afternoon. A scorcher." She was holding a tub of lemonade.

"Let me get that for you." I said helping her take the tub to the picnic table.

"Thank you dear. The twins are getting the other snacks from the kitchen. Boys! Don't start already!"

I turned to see that Christopher and Ryan were both on a jet ski, turning in circles trying to wet one another.

Ryan hit a current wave and flew off. Ouch.

"What did I say!" Carol said with her hands on her hips.

I laughed.

"When don't the boys behave Mom?" Emily said holding bags of chips and other snacks.

"Boys will be boys dear." Greg said right behind her.

We seen Christopher coming up all wet wearing an open life jacket. That image did things to me.

"I'm going to get the kids." Evelyn said.

"Where is Bradley?" Christopher asked.

"Last I seen he was reading on his bed." Carol said.

"I'll go get him." I said after I seen the disappointment in Christopher's face.

"Can you make him come down dear." Carol said.

I nodded and went back in the house. I went upstairs and seen Bradley with a book to his nose.

"Hey." I said.

He put his book down. "Oh. Hey."

"What don't you come down?"

"I will I will."

"Then let's go."

"Right now."

I sighed. "Why don't you really want to come down? Honestly."

"There's no reason."

"Yeah there is." I continued to stare at him till he gave in.

"Fine. I'll tell you." He sighed. "I'm not outgoing, I'm not physically attractive, I'm not cool. My brothers are, I'm not. I'm just their weird little brother." He said with sadness in his voice.

"Bradley why would you ever think of yourself as being so low. You are very sweet, handsome and cool in your own way. You are unique. You don't need to be like your brothers."

"People like them more than me."

"That's because you isolate yourself in your room like you are doing right now. If you come out it will be even more fun than staying here reading. I mean I'm all for reading but you've got to live life a little." I smiled reassuringly.

"Ahhhh. Okay. I'll come down."

"Yay. Ok let's go."

"I need to change into my trunks."

"Oh. Right, I'll be outside waiting. If you don't come out I will barge in here myself." I said with one last stare.

I closed the door behind me waiting.

After about three minutes he opened the door.

"Let's go." I grabbed his hand and we went downstairs.

I seen Christopher smiling when I was coming down with Bradley.

"Bradley why are you red?" Christopher asked. I noticed that he was blushing. Then I noticed it's because I was holding his hand.

"Shut up Chris." He said walking away towards the water.

"Thank you for bringing him down." Christopher said grabbing my waist.

"I like Bradley. I didn't want him missing out."

Christopher gave me a kiss on the cheek and said in my ear, "Ready to get wet."

"In the water of course. I love the water." Swimming is my favorite thing to do. My Dad and I used to always go swimming in our pool. The good memories.

"Let's get in then."

"Okay." I went towards a chair and took off my sandals and cover up.

"I was going to get in but when I seen Audrey I'm thinking twice about that." Evelyn said.

"Audrey puts all our bodies to shame." Emily said right after.

"Don't make me embarrassed guys. You girls are all beautiful. Trust me."

"Beautiful. Come let me put sunscreen on you." I seen Christopher wiggling his eyebrows up and down. Perv.

"Excuse me ladies." I walked towards him and he had the sunscreen in his hand ready to lather me up. "You just think of ways to touch me."

"That's my job." He started to put sunscreen on me. "You are so soft."

He started on my shoulders to my back and so on. He was getting a little close to my butt but quickly moved his hand when I gave him a look. Then he put some on my chest and arms.

"You really know what your doing don't you."

"I had to put sunscreen on my sisters when they were younger."

"You didn't take your time like you are me. Did you?"

He laughed.

"Okay you're done." I was walking towards the water.

"Hey. Hey. Hey. What about me?" He said acting hurt.

"Since you did me a favor, why not repay the offer." I squirted some sunscreen on my hand and started on his back. He is so muscular. His defined muscles were showing everywhere.

He definitely works out. I turned him around and started to lather him up everywhere my hands were allowed to go.

"You had fun doing this didn't you?" He said teasing.

"Maybe a little." I admitted.

We walked towards the lake. I tested the water with my feet. It was cool and refreshing.

I walked a little more and more. The feel of water is a beautiful thing.

I was used to the water so I dove in and swam further and further.

"Beautiful why didn't you wait for me?" I heard Christopher yell from shore.

"Follow me in." I yelled back. He dove in and started swimming.

I just watched until he was right in front of me.

"You are a fast swimmer." He said.

"I love to swim." He grabbed me and brought me closer.

"Want to go on a jet ski?"

"You driving?"

"Yeah."

"Better not make me fall." I warned.

"Never."

*********

Emily gave me her life jacket to put on.

"You'll have fun. Trust me." She said reassuring. Could she see the worry on my face?

"Okay."

"Come on beautiful." Christopher was already on the jet ski waiting for me.

Ryan was holding it down so I could get on.

I got on and Christopher said, "Put your arms around me and move as close in as possible." I followed directions and he turned on the gas.

"Ready beautiful?"

"I hope." He pressed down and we started going.

When we got farther from shore he sped up. The wind was hitting my hair back. The mist of the water felt good when it hit my face.

He started to really have fun. He went in circles and circles.

"Ahhhhhh!" I screamed in excitement.

He laughed and went even crazier. He was swaying the jet ski and was hitting the waves. We were going so fast.

This is soooo fun.

I haven't had this much fun in ages and I know it's because of him.
