-------------------------------

I kept walking on the powdery brown sand so that I could reach the ocean, which looked a bit white due to the moons reflection on it. The deep thick layers of sand was making it hard for me to take quick steps and causing my feet to fall into the sand, but I didn't mind because the cold feel of the soft grains was actually kind of relaxing to my tired feet.

I keep waking until I reached the shoreline and the cold sea water came rushing towards me in waves, calming down when itself as soon as it reached and touched my feet. I fold my arms over my chest and rub it, trying to keep myself warm in this cold weather. I close my eyes to feel this calmness in my heart, soul, mind and body. I feel like I just walked into heaven because this.....is my peaceful world.

I was so lost trying to relax myself that I didn't feel a presence beside me until I reopened my eyes. At first, I was a bit scared to turn my eyes and look at the person standing beside me because I feared they would be the two most horrible people who have been in my nightmares for the past 9 years. But they would have attacked my peaceful time long back and wouldn't have let me stand here and enjoy my moment. Yet this person was not disturbing me at all.

I slowly tilted my head to the right side and was met with a fully covered face. From the body, it looked like a well built guy but his face was covered with a cloth around half of his face and his eyes were the only thing visible, but I couldn't look into them, clearly due to the night darkness.
Who is this?

"Who are you?", I asked him in confusion as I kept myself prepared for the worst situation. Instead of answering me, he kept quiet and stared at the full moon, which was the only source of light right now. As I was about to ask him another question, he brought his finger to his covered lips and shushed me, pointing ahead towards the sea. I took that as an instruction from him which I unbelievably followed, turning my head back to look ahead of me.

"Close your eyes and feel this moment", he suddenly leaned in and slowly whispered in my ear, making me shiver due to his deep and intense voice. I have heard it somewhere but I can't seem to put my finger on it. Who can this person be?

Like he suggested or should I say ordered, I closed my eyes, both of us standing in silence. The only sound around us was the splashing of the cold water on our feet's, the rustling of the Palm trees due to the mild cool breeze making its way from the seaside towards the shore. The tickling of the water made me smile as I felt like I was becoming lightheaded, going deeper and deeper into my calm world, not willing to come back out of this trance ever.

"Now wake up", he whispered in my ears and I reopened my eyes in confusion. Wake up?

"From what?", I turned and asked him, but to my utter shock there was no one beside me anymore. I was alone on this beach like before. I wandered my eyes around my surroundings to search for him but there was not a single human over here right now. Suddenly, the air echoed with the words 'wake up', as if someone was screaming at me to obey them and wake up. From what do I wake up? I covered my ears and fell on my knees on the ground due to the loud echoes in the air, hurting my hearing aid. Closing my eyes in pain was my biggest mistake because ice cold water was splashed from the sea onto my face which left me shaken completely.

"Wake up sweet butt", someone whispered slowly in ears and only one person calls me that. Chace! My eyes shot open and I was met by a pair gorgeous and captivating brown orbs, looking down at me mischievously. His face was so close to me that I could feel his breath on my face, slow and steady.

"Good morning amore Mio", he whispered again as I looked down at myself. Chace was right on top of me and balancing himself by keeping his hands beside my head. He was so close that it was giving me weird sensations in my whole body. What can I do when a hot guy is on top of me?

"What the hell are you doing on my bed?", I screamed at the top of my lungs and he seemed to freeze. As I gave him a confused look, he scrunched his nose in disgust and started waving his hand in front of his nose like he just experienced a really bad smell. Shit! My morning breath.

"Your mouth smells like poop", he insulted as I blushed in embarrassment. I know that I am stupid to blush when a guy makes fun of me but that's just....the weird me. After a while of me lying under him in silence, he started laughing at me and that made me furious. So I started hitting his chest with all the power in my body right now to movie him away from me and throw him out of my bed. But as expected, he had no effect and instead, he continued laughing.

Due to him Constantine raising my irritation level, I started hitting his stomach and when that didn't work as well, I decided to hit his face. I was about to slap him right across his perfectly sculptured cheek when he understood what I was about to do, so he caught my wrist in a tight grip, but not tight enough to hurt me. I tried to free my wrists but he pinned my hands right beside my head on the pillow, making it more harder for me to escape myself.

Looking at my condition, I decided to try the next best option, kick him where the sun doesn't shine. I tried to raise my leg slowly so that he wouldn't notice what I was about to do, but unfortunately he did notice. And so he caught blocked of my legs with his by adjusting himself between my legs so that I couldn't reach his manhood. Damn it!

"Your really feisty this morning sweet butt", he teased me with a smirk as I groaned at my misery and unsuccessful plans.

"Chace, let go of me", I whispered to him but with a pinch of warning in my command. "Let go of me", I said again but this time I raised my voice in warning. He finally nodded his head in disapproval and stayed stuck to his position.

"Chaceeeee", I kept whining but it didn't affect him at all. He kept his stupid irritating smirk plastered to his idiotic face. Ok? That didn't make sense at all, or did? Whatever!

"Chace please let go of me, I am feeling crushed under you", I pleaded and gave him my best puppy dog eyes with a pout.

"Don't pout", he suddenly said as I have him a confused look. Maybe my pout is working. Instead of listening to him, I kept pouting and giving him a pleading look.

"Stop pouting or I know how to remove it", he warned me but I didn't listen to him,"What will you do?", I asked in challenge and re-pouted.

The next thing that happened was never what I thought I would end up experiencing again. He leaned in and captured my lips which caused my pout to automatically disappear. For a minute, I laid under him in shock while he continued to kiss me. When my mind was able to process everything, I realised what I was doing right now. I was cheating on hunter....

I started to shake my head right and left to get rid of him since my hands and legs were firmly caught by him. I tried to free my lips but he only deepened the kiss, making it harder for me to back off. His lips on mine were so intense and felt amazing that my stupid hormones were getting weaker in front of him. NO! I can't kiss him back.

I kept trying to get rid of him but I don't know what came into me at that moment that I started kissing him back. When he realised that I was now kissing him back, he released my hands and wrapped his hands around my waist, pulling me closer to his body, if that was even possible. I wrapped my now free hands around his neck, pulling his lips closer to mine. His kiss was hypnotising and it felt like I was trapped in it. I wanted to leave it but I couldn't.

Our lips moved in sync with each other and he delicately held me, like I was some flower. This kiss had started out rough but now it was sweet and soft. His one hand started left my waist and came around my stomach, giving me a ticklish feeling which caused my mouth to release an unwanted weird sound. His one hand now laid on my stomach and he was about to pull my top up when it clicked me what I was about to do. My eyes fell wide open as I stared in shock at his closed ones, and so I pushed him off me with all my might. He fell off the bed as I jerked up in a sitting position and stared at him in anger.

"HOW DARE YOU CHACE!", I screamed at the top of my lungs and he just sat there on the floor like a lost puppy, looking up at me in confusion. He then stood up and stood in front of me as I got on my feet and stood in front of him, face-to-face.

"You know I am in a relationship, yet you kissed me like I am one of your toys", I told him with anger as he looked down at me in shock, like even he didn't know what was going on and what just happened between us. 

"I wasn't the only one in this Sophie, you reciprocated", he argued back and it did feel like he was a bit right on that note. It felt weird to hear him call me by my real name after a long time but this is not the moment to think about his crazy nicknames for me.

"What was I supposed to do if you just forced yourself at me? If you don't remember, I was trying to escape your clutches but your hold on me was so tight that I just lost it", I said in one breath and tried to tell him that it was his fault, but I know I was involved in it too.

I folded my arms around my chest as I stood there waiting for him to reply. But he stood there casually with his hands planted in his pockets. He looked so causal whereas I was freaking out that I cheated behind hunter's back. But that's when him hugging another girl behind MY back suddenly came flooding in my mind.

"I am sorry...", he whispered slowly that I could barely hear it, but I did. I looked up at him and his eyes were filled with guilt as he nervously ran a hand through his hair. His sincere look made me feel like he was actually guilty about his actions this morning, but I can't forgive or forget yet.

I walked towards my bedroom door and held it open as I turned to Chace,"I think you should leave", I said as I pointed my finger outside. I thought he would not listen to me but he did, taking long strides towards the door, exiting it quickly. He turned to me once he was outside but I closed my bedroom door before anything else happened.

I sighed and went to my closet to take my cloths and go to the washroom. I was about to keep my first step in the washroom when I heard a knock on my door. I huffed out a breath in irritation as I didn't expect Chace to come back,"Please go away Chace", I shouted at my door and continued my trip to the washroom when I heard Andrea's voice calling out for me.

"Sophie! It's me", she screwed and I slowly let out a relievers breath, making my way to the door with all my cloths still in my hands. I opened the door and almost screamed when I saw Andrea's state right now. Her hair were all messed up and going haywire, as if she just got an electric shock. She was holding an ice pack on her head as she was frowning and looked in pain.

"Let me guess, hangover?", I asked and she glared at me since I started laughing at her looks. Nonetheless, she still nodded her head in regard to my guess on her current condition.

"Take aspirin", I said as I invited her into my room. She slowly entered while walking like a penguin which made me laugh but I made sure she couldn't hear it. She sat on my bed and I followed right behind her. Her eyes were really red and she stank, but I didn't want to make more fun of her.

"That's the problem, we don't have any on us", she said with a groan and laid back on my bed and letting out a breath, staring at the ceiling. I turned on the bed as I waited for her to tell me why she was here.

"I think Savannah would have one", I informed her and she jerked up on the bed, but that was her biggest mistake during a hangover. She held her head tightly with both hands and screamed so loudly that I heard sudden loud footsteps going around the house. Olivia came running to my doorframe and stared in horror at what was wrong, but it soon changed to a look of relief was when she saw it was just both of us. I shook my head in disappointment and tried to hold in my laughter when I saw that even she was holding an ice pack on her head.

"Are you guys for serious?! I thought something happened", she said as she came and sat beside me. Wow! I am now stuck between two stinking best friends of mine.

"So I guess you all decided to get wasted", I mumbled more to myself but they both still replied me a yes by a nod.

"Anyway, I came here to inform you that we all are going to the ice rink right outside this town, then we are going to Coney Island and let's see where we end up after that", Andrea informed as I groaned when she said everyone. I mean I am sure that includes Chace and I am not yet ready to face him. But I can't spoil my friends weekend due to my stupidity and deeds.

"Ok, I was just going for a bath. I will get ready and come out", I said as I stood up and started going to the washroom again but stopped mid-way. I turned to them and they were still sitting on my bed.

"You guys need to have a bath immediately. You both stink", I said as I pointed at both of them and they smelled their cloths, making faces in disgust and slowly getting up from my bed, making their way to the door but that's when I remembered that I forgot to ask them what time do we leave.

"By the way, what time will we leave?", I asked Olivia since Andrea had already left my room. Olivia turned to me while holding the ice pack and raised 2 fingers,"2pm?", I asked to confirm and she nodded her head and left my room. I checked the clock on the wall and saw that it was 11:30am right now. Hmm, I have plenty of time.

I was completely ready and set to go at 1:30pm since I was done with everything. I wore a pink tank top along with a skinny denim jeans and jacket, in case it gets cold at night. I wore a pair of black reebok sneakers since we would be walking a lot today and I want to feel less tired and comfortable. Tomorrow is a Monday and fortunately no one has the NYU tour tomorrow, so we can stay out till late as we all are free tomorrow.

Today I can't leave my friends alone like yesterday, as I went with Chace. I am not ready to talk to Chace just yet. I am not angry at him, I am actually upset from him that he would kiss me without my will and when he knew I am already in a relationship with hunter. His apology today morning almost looked genuinely, but I need some time to get over it. The worst thing I hate about that kiss is that I actually liked it....a lot. I think I should stop thinking about Chace and try to enjoy my day with my friends and brother. I am glad Daniel mixed with my group so perfectly, although he is almost two years older to almost everyone in the group.

Thinking about how was today going to be for all of us, I quickly tied the lace of my sneakers and grabbed a small bag which I have decided to use as a food storage. I was about to leave my room when I heard my phone buzz with a text. I quickly unlocked my phone and saw that it was from Jayden, he had send me some picture. Under the picture, Jayden wrote that these pictures were the one he showed me yesterday in the club. I waited for them to download and once they were. I quickly locked my screen and exited my room. I may seem causal about this matter but on the insides, I am really worried that hunter is cheating on me. I know that's what I did today morning but I got lost in the moment, hunter didn't look like he was in a situation same as mine.

I exited my room and saw that Olivia was already in the living room with a fresh look along with Savannah. I could hear the shower going on in Andrea's room so I guess she wasn't ready yet. I quickly made my way to the kitchen as both the girls waved at me cheerfully. I grabbed a huge pack of lays chips, a large Oreo pack and a few soft drinks cans.

"Uou aking hat uff or us", Savannah blurted out with her mouthful of the sandwich she just took a large bite on as I stood there confused, trying to understand what she just said,"She is asking if you are taking that stuff for us?", Olivia clarified and I gave them an 'obvious' look.

After waiting for a few more minutes, Andrea was out of her room and so all of us were ready to go. Four of us girls were going in a different car whereas the guys were meeting is at the rink directly. We left our apartment at 2pm exactly and hopped into Savannah's car, although she was tired of driving so I took the driver's seat. I was glad that I took a driving test back in Madison and passed it. 

As I started the engine, Savannah put on her seat belt whereas Olivia and Andrea got themselves settled on the backseat. I reversed the car from its parking and we were soon on the main road, heading towards our destination, which was about to take half an hour for us to reach there.

"By the way, what did you and Chace do yesterday at the beach?", Andrea asked from behind and I saw in my rear mirror that all three of them were smirking teasingly with a raise of their eyebrows. Talking about Chace reminded me of our day yesterday and our little moment this morning, and that made me blush furiously without my will.

"I don't want to talk about it", I said and it was sternly said but my idiotic friends took it in the wrong way because their smiles widened,"Oh my god! She is blushing guys", Savannah chirped and I groaned at their girly squeals when they noticed that Savannah was right.

"Will you guys stop?", I snapped at them and they still didn't have little self respect to quit troubling my ass because they kept laughing at me.

"Jokes apart though, what happened yesterday Sophie?", Olivia asked as she finally calmed down from her small laughing session. Before I could even say a word, all three of them were quiet and waiting for me to open up. Savannah had turned on her seat towards me whereas my other two idiots were leaning against the front seats, popping their heads in the space between the front seats. I  thought for a minute before I sighed and decided to share what all happened and get this weight off my chest.

"He...kissed me", I finally confessed and all three of them went silent, not reacting at all to what I just said. I almost thought they didn't hear me but when the three of them screamed together, I understood that my prayers wasn't fulfilled about them being deaf and mute.

Rude!

Whatever, they deserve it.

No they don't!

Am I talking to myself?

"....."

Yes I am. I think I am going to end up being in a mental hospital instead of NYU.

"When?",

"Why?",

"Where?",

"How was it?", these are the questions they kept flooding in my territory without letting me answer them one by one. They seemed so happy about the kiss, as if they were in my place. I love my friends to the infinity, but right now, I am thinking of ways to kill them or make them disappear. I was so lost in thinking of ways to kill them that I was almost about to break the signal but thank god my mind came back to this real world at the right time.

I stopped the car and turned to look at them,"When? Today morning, Why? I don't know, Where? My room, how was it? Why don't you guys go and find out!", I snapped at the last part and they looked at each other in silence, as if they were exchanging words without me hearing their conversation.

"The last answer you gave was not for me though", Savannah broke the silence and told me with a face scrunched in disgust. She is right though.

"So?", I asked her with a raise of an eyebrow and re-started the car once the signal turned to green,"That means you should tell me how my brother's kiss feels", Savannah explained and I shook my head at her statement. What will she do anyways by knowing that piece of information?

"It's fine Sophie, it's just a kiss. It's not like you both haven't done it before", Andrea said with a casual shrug.

"I know that andy, but I am now committed to hunter, he trusted me to come here and I can't cheat behind his back", I explained my situation to them which silenced them completely. After a while, they all sighed and hummed in response, it seemed like they were out of words.

"I think we should leave this conversation. Anyways, Sophie, do you have songs in your phone?", Savannah asked and I nodded my head in yes, handing her my phone to go through my playlists.

"Thank bit*h", she said as she gladly took it from me, making me roll my eyes at her for using inappropriate language.

"Let's take a selfie first and post it on snapchat", Olivia suggested as both the girls mumbled an enthusiastic 'yeah', making me the odd one to mumble a quick 'no'. But since majority won, they were taking a picture.

I took a side on the road for the picture as all four of us posed for the selfie. As expected, the three Devils made me pout in different ways like them and I must say I looked really bad. It's not like I have a choice. Savannah quickly opened the gallery to check our photos and was swiping through the multiple pictures we took while we three instructed her which to keep and which not.

What I didn't realise or remember that the pictures of hunter hugging another girl slash woman was saved in my gallery since it was downloaded, and all three of them saw it. All of them froze including me because that's when I remembered about this whole matter again, making me look forward at the running cars on the road beside us. I didn't know how to react or what to tell them, because I don't know what's this all myself.

"You didn't tell us?", Olivia asked and I could sense hurt in her tone. I turned to them with a blank expression and as expected noticed that they all looked hurt.

"I am sorry guys, I didn't want to spoil your fun time", I said as I bit my lip in nervousness and guilt.

"Are you kidding us? Sophie, we may not know each other for long but we are still your best friends", Andrea said as I looked down at my folded hands on my lap, not knowing what to do.

"She's absolutely right. If you need us, you need to call us", Savannah said as I looked at them with a smile,"We are always here for you. Ok?", Olivia asked sincerely as I nodded my head, bringing a smile to all our faces. We all leaned forward for a group hug but couldn't reach each other properly due to the seats between us. But we didn't give up and continued to try until savannah's phone suddenly started ringing, startling all of us since her ringtone was of an annoying baby crying so loudly that it would bleed anyone's ears.

"Ugh! Boys are made specially to ruin our moments", I said as they all agreed with my statement. It was Daniel and he called us to ask where we had reached since they will be taking more half an hour to reach the ice rink. Once he cut his call, we even teased Savannah of why was my brother calling her when his sister was still alive, healthy and available. She brushed it off with a small hit on my shoulder and deadly glares at the two monkeys behind. But that actually proved that these both had a chemistry, specially her rosy cheeks.

I gave a brief look to the time on the dashboard and realised that the place was still 10 minutes away from where we currently. That's when we noticed McDonalds on the opposite road and I think all of us had our stomachs grumble in hunger since we didn't have breakfast. I quickly took a U-turn and parked my car in the take away for cars line. There were about two cars ahead of us in the line so we were glad that it wasn't crowded.

We all ordered a breakfast and ate it in the car while we continued to drive to our destination. On our way, we busted the car music system by blasting it with music. Once cheap thrills by Sia started, we all screamed on the top of our lungs by singing it. We were all out of pitch, but we didn't care.

Soon enough we were there and so we decided to ditch the boys by not waiting for them and going to the ice rink right away. We four quickly paid out entry fees and lined up at the counter where we had to tell our shoe sizes and collect the skating shoes.

Once all of us had our skates, we sat on the bench after putting all our valuables in the large locker we purchased together since we didn't want separate one as they were expensive. We quickly changed into the skating shoes and since I and Andrea didn't know how to wear them, we had to take the experts help.

We slowly got on our feet and struggled to walk on the way, but we made it to the entrance. Olivia and Savannah were so good and natural at skating that they smoothly entered and started going around the round layer of ice, I can't believe even Andrea knew some of it. But me, let's just say I was the loner at standing at the at the entrance and waiting for someone to come and be my hero by helping me. But no one came...

I sighed in defeat and kept my right foot inside, almost slipping but I caught the side railing to balance myself. There were other people in the rink but it wasn't so crowded, so I could easily skate slowly. I held the railing tight and kept moving my feet, somehow managing to keep myself up straight and reach the other side of the circle.

I was nicely and comfortably skating on sides by the help of the railing, but due to my stupid curiosity, I left the railing and started my way to the middle of the rink. Liv and the trainer did ask me if I needed help but I refused. I took a breath in relief when I reached where I wanted to and so I started skating slowly.

I think I got the root of skating. Yes!

I don't know what came over me but I started doing the happy dance in the middle of the round surface. But that was my biggest mistake because I lost my balance and was about to fall on my butt when a pair of strong arms caught my waist in a familiar way before I could fall hard.

"Do you think I have taken the stake to always catch you when you are about to fall?", he asked teasingly with a raise of eyebrow, making me glare at his false accusation at me.

"I didn't make you sign a contract to always save me", I answered back and he furrowed his eyebrow in question,"So that means I shouldn't have caught you?", he asked and I looked away from him, thinking about my answer. I know that I should have said no, but my ego stepped in and made me nod my head with a small 'yes'.

He gave me a challenging look and smirked mischievously at me out of nowhere. I didn't get why at first what was he thinking about but I totally understood when he left me hanging in the air suddenly, making me fall on my butt with a painful thud.

"OW! YOU JERK!", I screamed at him in extreme pain as I rubbed my painful and now sore butt, making all our friends gather around us. Daniel came forward and gave me a hand but when I was about to take it, he withdrew it back.

"You are an asshole for a brother", Savannah said to Daniel with anger and glared at Chace before she came and stood beside me, taking my hand and pulling me up on my feet,"Are you alright?", she asked with concern and I nodded my head with a smile.

Once she checked if I was really alright, she turned to Chace and put her hands on her hips,"What is wrong with you Chace?", she asked him seriously as he folded his hands around his chest and shrugged his shoulders.

"What did I do? She just fell like others", he said and she rolled her eyes at his explanation.

"You know what? You now have to teach Sophie how to skate", she said sternly and Chace was about to interject when she held her finger up to stop him,"And that, is my command", she completed and without listening to him any further, she turned on her heel and left.

"Fine!", Chace said with irritation and turned to me with a bored expression. He came forward and held his hand out for me to take it, which I hesitantly did take. When his skin came in contact with mine, it felt like butterflies just started playing football in my stomach.

"Don't you dare leave my hand", I said as I have him a warning look and he turned to me with a smile before whispering a word which gave me goosebumps and chills,"Never...". That word suddenly made me feel so good and it felt like a promise because he said it so genuinely. I don't know was it just one of his bipolar behaviours or was he serious.

I don't know if I should be glad that an expert in skates like Chace is teaching me or should I be sad? Never mind!

"Where are you lost?", he suddenly trailed me out of my thoughts and I turned to him like a lost little girl. I nodded my head and murmured quick 'nothing' in reply to his question.

The rest of the skating was fun if you deduct the multiple number of times I had to go through the pain of falling on the hard-core ice. The way me and Chace were acting right now didn't feel like we just had a kiss and a fight this morning, and I somehow wished for it to stay this way, at least for now....
