With Michela and Ashley

Michela and Ashley obviously got to the beach before the boys, they found a nice spot. Michela smiled,

"This is the best spot! Do you know when the boys are coming?"

Ashley shook her head,

"I texted Nick and he said that they will be here as soon as they can, but let's have some fun before!"

Michela laughed and nodded,

"Hell yeah!"

So they took off the coverings of their bikinis. That was when they heard someone,

"Mickey! Ashley!"

The two girls turned around to two familiar girls: Nikki and Diana. Michela smiled at the younger girl, Nikki,

"Hey Niks, How are you? It has been so long!"

Nikki pouted,

"Yeah! You stopped picking up Jesse and Brandy from school as much,"

Nikki was friends with Jesse and Brandon from school and when Michela would pick them up, the three often were talking. Michela smiled,

"Yeah, I know. But it is so great to see you!"

Nikki smiled and hugged her. Diana smiled and chuckled,

"Let her breath, Nikki,"

Nikki chuckled and nodded. Diana hugged Michela and Ashley in greeting. Michela smiled,

"How have you been Diana?"

Diana smiled,

"I have been managing...my brother finally got back from school a week ago, so he has been a big help,"

Ashley smirked,

"About time Derek was useful,"

Diana laughed and nodded,

"I know, right?"

Michela chuckled,

"I love how both of you know him, but I never met him,"

Diana laughed and nodded,

"Well, he is somewhere here,"

Diana went to school with Ashley and Nicholas in high school, which is how they know each other. Diana is 26, Derek is 20, and Nikki is 14. Michela smirked,

"So I can finally meet him?"

Diana laughed and nodded,

"Yeah, I think he should be here soon...so where is Nicholas, Jesse, and Brandon?"

Ashley sighed dramatically,

"They should be here soon, Justin is coming too,"

They nodded. Then they heard someone,

"Mickey! Ash!"

They turned around and saw Jesse and Brandon running up to them. Michela tilted her head,

"Where are Justin and Nickey?"

Jesse and Brandon rolled their eyes in exasperation. Jesse grabbed her arm.

"They are taking SOOOO long!"

The girls laughed. Jesse and Brandon smiled brightly at Nikki, they hugged her and she hugged back. Brandon smiled,

"I didn't know you were going to be here Nikki!"

Nikki giggled,

"Well, you should have texted me way more,"

Jesse and Brandon laughed. Ashley turned around and smiled,

"NICK!"

Nicholas and Justin looked up and that was when Nicholas tripped and fell into the sand. Michela and Ashley burst into laughter, Michela turned to Ashley,

"We were right,"

Nicholas groaned and Justin laughed while helping Nicholas up. Ashley walked up to him.

"Cat got your eye?"

Nicholas rolled his eyes,

"I will feel better after getting a big hug from you!"

Ashley shrieked as she ran away from the sand-covered man. Michela laughed even harder, Nicholas heard the laughter from his best friend,

"Oh, so you think this is funny?!"

Michela looked up just in time to see Nicholas running to her,

"NO!"

Michela was picked up by her best friend.

"Ewwww! You are covered in sand!"

Nicholas smirked,

"You have been covered in sand before,"

Michela shrugged and rolled her eyes,

"It's different being hugged by someone covered in sand,"

Nicholas shrugged,

"I am rather comfy right now,"

Michela glared and banged on his bare back, she turned to those around her,

"Help! Justin! You are my only hope!"

Justin felt once again that feeling but he pushed it down with a shrug,

"You do look rather comfortable,"

Michela gasped in shock,

"How dare you betray meeee,"

Everyone laughed. Nicholas finally put Michela down, she punched his arm and Nicholas yelped out in slight pain,

"Ow! What was that for?!"

"Being a bully,"

Nicholas chuckled,

"I was not bullying you,"

Jesse smirked,

"You DID carry her against her will,"

Everyone laughed at the shocked face of Nicholas. That was when Justin finally got a good look at Michela and he felt his heart stop...

Justin's POV

Oh my god...she looks beautiful. She was radiating and that bathing suit was perfect for her. I wish I had the guts to tell her that I like her...I don't think she feels the same way and I don't think I would be able to deal with that. I think I am staring too long, but I just can't help it, I can't help but look at her, her eyes were sparkling, they were shining like the wonderful light brown that they were. I often thought of them as our favorite chocolate that we shared that one time when I looked into her eyes. I turned around to my older brother...oh no, he is smirking at me. Dang, did he catch me staring at Michela? I hope not.

Michela's POV

Woah. Justin looks great. Well...um...his bathing suit is cool...yeah, that's it! Um...so his bathing suit was dark blue with some red blames on it...let's try to not mention his perfectly framed body and his muscles and his abs. Yep! Let's not stare at them. His smile is perfect, I really do love...um...like his smile. I mean, why wouldn't I? It made his eyes shine bright whenever he smiled or laughed. Is Ashley looking at me? Oh heck no...I think she saw me staring at him...oh that little piece of fudge, she is smirking at me and has a look on her face.

Third POV

Nicholas and Ashley were having fun smirking at Justin and Michela, they obviously saw them staring at the other. Nicholas wrapped an arm around Ashley.

"So, we ready?"

Ashley chuckled,

"I wanted to wait for Derek, I haven't seen that kid in a long time,"

Nicholas smiled and nodded,

"Ah yeah, Derek...Diana, how is Derek?"

Diana smiled,

"Well, his ego has not changed at all!"

"Hey! I don't go talking trash about you to strangers,"

They all turned and saw a tanned guy with the same blond hair and green eyes as his siblings. Nikki smiled hugely,

"Derek!"

Derek laughed as his younger sister jumped on him to hug him.

"Hey lil sis, I hope you are wreaking havoc for dearest Diana,"

Diana rolled her eyes at her younger brother,

"Whatever."

Ashley laughed,

"It seems not much changed, the army or not,"

Derek laughed and nodded,

"Two years doesn't change you thaat much, I will always be here for my sisters...how are you doing Ashley? Congrats on the engagement,"

Ashley smiled,

"Thank you, I would like you to meet everyone,"

Derek looked at everyone after Nicholas and Derek did a bro hug. He spotted Michela immediately and felt a short connection with her immediately, not just because she looked cute in her bathing suit, but the way she held herself. Derek smiled,

"Pleasure to meet you m'lady,"

Michela laughed and shook his hand,

"Michela Kastle, at your service,"

Derek chuckled while Justin glared at the back of his head. Ashley visibly facepalmed.

"Derek Zareh at yours, quite literally since I served in the army for two years,"

Diana rolled her eyes and shoved her brother,

"Yeah well, you can't flirt with Mickey, try someone I don't like,"

They all laughed while Derek rolled his eyes,

"Pardon my older sister, she thinks I flirt with EVERYONE. However! I like making new friends with people that don't have a stick up their ass,"

Michela laughed and smirked,

"Good luck surrounded by these people, only Ash, Jess, Brandy, and Niks don't have sticks up their ass,"

Justin, Nicholas, and Diana's eyes widened in offense,

"HEY!"

Derek laughed,

"I knew I would like you!"

Michela smirked,

"Obviously, I am amazing,"

Nicholas rolled his eyes,

"That's what she wants you to think,"

Michela took off her flip flop and threw it at Nicholas, hitting him right in the nose,

"OUCH! What is up with you and throwing shoes at people?!"

Everyone laughed as Nicholas rolled his eyes. Michela smirked,

"It's fun."

Derek smirked,

"Let's get this beach party started!"

Michela laughed and nodded and smiled,

"Hell yeah!"

Michela raced Jesse, Brandon, and Nikki to the waves while the other adults chuckled and walked after them. Diana smirked,

"Mickey truly is a child on the inside,"

Nicholas smirked,

"You should see her when we have pancakes,"

Ashley playfully shoved him,

"Hey! Pancakes are our sacred food!"

Justin chuckled,

"You both could kill someone over your love of pancakes,"

Derek chuckled,

"That, I can totally see,"

Everyone looked at Derek in confusion. Derek tilted his head,

"What?"

Ashley tilted her head,

"Why would you say that?"

Derek tilted his head too,

"I mean, you wouldn't be able to hurt a fly unless you are very angry, Michela is a different story,"

Now everyone was curious, Justin narrowed his eyes at him,

"What do you mean by that?"

Derek raised his hands in defense,

"Hey man, I'm not trying to say anything bad about your girlfriend-"

Justin's eyes widened in shock and he coughed,

"M-my what?!"

Derek furrowed his eyebrows in confusion,

"I thought you and Michela were dating...I mean y'all look at each other with a spark in your eyes,"

Ashley and Nicholas smirked while Justin quickly shook his head,

"N-no...she is not my girlfriend,"

Derek nodded slowly, he took a quick look at Ashley and Nicholas and could tell that they knew that they liked the other. Derek shrugged,

"Alright...as I was saying...Michela has a spark in her eyes, she's a fighter. I've seen that look in a lot of my men,"

Now that got everyone intrigued. Nicholas tilted his head,

"Is that a good thing or bad thing?"

Derek smirked and made eye-contact with Nicholas,

"Depends on if you are on her good side or bad,"

Derek looked and saw her laughing and talking to the young teenagers.

"Y'all never saw her mad?"

They all shook their heads, even with Ashley and Michela's conversations about Kenzee, Ashley did not see any hint of anger. Derek rubbed at his chin in curiosity,

"None of you ever wondered what happens when she gets mad?"

Everyone frowned. Diana looked at her younger brother,

"What exactly are you implying Derek?"

Derek shrugged,

"I'm just curious, you see things in the army guys, it's interesting after a while,"

Diana put a hand on his shoulder, knowing how he was affected by the army. Justin shrugged,

"I guess man, but Michela is different,"

Everyone smiled. Derek smirked,

"Yeah, I can kinda see that by now,"

Michela glared back at them,

"Are you guys coming or what?!!!"

They finally got to the waves, Ashley and Nicholas sat down near the waves and smirked together as they watched the others.
