HAMPTONS BEACH HOME
long island, new york
11am

groggily, i opened my eyes and stretched out my limbs, the sun gently filtering through the open curtains. as i started to fully wake up, i felt a weight at the end of my bed. opening my eyes, i saw rufus sitting at the edge of the bed, wagging his tail excitedly.

i looked to the other side of the bed, noticing that duncan wasn't there. i sat up slightly, propping myself up on my elbows as i looked around the room. i could faintly hear the sound of someone moving around in the kitchen, the aroma of breakfast wafting through the air.

as i walked into the kitchen, i was met with the sounds of laughter and conversation coming from my friends. samantha was sat at the kitchen island, sipping on some coffee. carrie and miranda were nearby, chatting happily as duncan cooked breakfast.

"morning everyone." i said with the wave of my hand, a bit embarrassed as everyone was dressed and i had just woken up.

everyone turned towards me and greeted me with a "morning!" before duncan looked up from the stove and smiled at me. he gave me a quick kiss on the cheek and said, "morning gorgeous, go sit down. let me make you a plate."

i felt my cheeks flush slightly from duncan's affectionate greeting. i walked over to the kitchen island, sitting down in an empty seat as i watched duncan continue cooking.

"did you sleep well?" asked miranda who joined us at the island.

i nodded in response to miranda's question, still feeling a bit groggy from my sleep. i leaned forward, resting my chin on one hand as i glanced around the kitchen, noticing how everyone was already fully dressed and had their day started. "where's charlotte?" i asked.

samantha chuckled and took a sip of her coffee, "on the couch with greg i imagine." she said bluntly.

i nodded in acknowledgment, knowing fully well that charlotte was probably wrapped up in the younger guy's arms.

duncan walked over to the island a minute later, holding a plate of bacon, eggs, and toast. "breakfast is served." he said with a small chuckle as he sat the plate in front of me.

samantha let out a small whistle as she looked at the food on my plate. "damn, you cook for all your girls?" she teased, shooting a sly look at duncan.

duncan chuckled and shook his head. "only the special ones." he replied, throwing me a smirk.

my cheeks flushed once again, a small smile forming on my lips. i was completely flattered by the attention he was giving me.

carrie rolled her eyes and laughed, "ugh. i think i'm going to be sick."

"oh shut up. i'm the one who should be sick after seeing what i saw." miranda said as she took a sip of her coffee.

duncan raised his eyebrows as he poured a cup of coffee for me, "what'd you see?" he inquired.

"someone puked on the deck this morning. i was just trying to enjoy the nice moment of solitude and the breeze when i saw it." she complained.

just then charlotte stumbled in, her hair disheveled and her dress straps hanging off, "sorry. stacy and holly had too many jell-o shots."

"what are you, twenty five?" miranda pressed as she rolled her eyes.

i noticed greg walking in behind charlotte looking equally as disheveled, it was obvious what they'd done the night before. "no, she's twenty seven." i said with a small smirk.

as the banter continued between my friends, greg suddenly appeared before duncan and quickly grabbed the cup of coffee that was on the counter. he then took the seat directly next to me and began sipping the cup as if it was his.

as greg took the seat next to me, i looked over at duncan and shook my head with a small smile, silently telling him not to worry about it. duncan rolled his eyes at greg, clearly annoyed by his actions before walking back over to the coffee pot.

"so what's on the agenda for today?" i asked the group.

"the plan is to head to the beach later and spend all day sunbathing like usual." charlotte replied.

"like usual, right, of course...like usual." miranda said sarcastically before grabbing her coffee mug and heading upstairs.

carrie nodded in agreement, "then i have to head back to the city for a book party but i'll be back."

"and what about you?" samantha asked, eyeing duncan who was leaning against the counter top with his own cup of coffee.

duncan shrugged, "nothing planned," he replied, taking a sip of his coffee. "just spending time with the beach girl here." he added with a smirk, nodding his head in my direction.

a small smile tugged on the corner of my lips as i felt my cheeks flush again, completely charmed by his words.

"how about a hike or something?" i asked duncan. "we could take rufus..."

duncan raised his eyebrows and sipped his coffee. "i'm down for a hike. as long as rufus doesn't chase any more fish." he joked, clearly recalling how rufus acted to the waves yesterday.

i laughed, "no fish, i promise" i replied before quickly shoveling a forkful of food into my mouth, starved after just waking up.

NORTHWEST WOOD TRAILS
east hampton, new york
1pm

dressed in a grey columbia crewneck, blue athletic shorts and brown hiking boots alongside a blue bandana i hopped out of duncan's jeep and looked around the trail as he got rufus out of the backseat.

as duncan got rufus out of the backseat, i took a moment to look around at our surroundings. the air was cool, a light breeze brushed against my skin and the trees swayed gently in the wind.

i inhaled deeply, taking in the fresh air before grabbing my backpack out of the trunk.

duncan had rufus on a short leash as the excitable dog began sniffing the ground as soon as his paws hit the dirt.

i watched them both for a moment before slinging my backpack over my shoulders and shutting the trunk. i turned back towards duncan and rufus and smiled, "ready?"

duncan nodded and began walking towards me. he wore a black long sleeve top and grey sweat shorts along with a white bandana. rufus right on his heels as he spoke, "ready as i'll ever be."

i fell into step beside him on the dirt path and we began making our way into the trail.

we walked together in silence for a few moments, simply enjoying the sound of the woods and the company of each other. rufus trotted happily beside us, occasionally stopping to sniff something on the ground before continuing on.

"so did you always know you wanted to be a pediatrician?" i asked, breaking the silence.

duncan chuckled before replying, "sort of, it's a family thing actually. my dad is a doctor too...kind of makes him happy to see me as pediatrician, y'know? following in his footsteps and all that jazz."

i nodded in understanding as i listened to his response. "that's sweet. i'm sure it makes him proud."

as we continued along the trail, rufus suddenly tugged on his leash as we approached a small stream that was nearby.

we paused in our walking as rufus eagerly tried to pull towards the water to drink. duncan held him back, "not so fast, rufus." he said, tugging on the leash slightly.

rufus continued to struggle on the leash, clearly desperate to get to the water, "let him go, duncan. he's just thirsty." i teased.

duncan chuckled and rolled his eyes, "he's going to dip his entire body in there and get soaked." he replied, clearly knowing rufus' reputation.

"that is very true..." i said as i continued walking.

duncan sighed before mumbling a small "fine" and releasing the leash. rufus immediately bounded towards the stream and began drinking.

as we stood by the stream, watching rufus happily drink from the water, duncan turned towards me with a sly smile.

"you know, you're a very good influence on me." duncan quipped, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"am i now?" i asked as i moved closer to him, allowing his hand to rest on my lower back.

duncan chuckled and nodded, his hand now rubbing gently on my lower back. "definitely..." he replied before looking over at rufus who was now splashing around in the water, getting himself completely soaked.

"this feels great...like an escape from everything." i said as i threw my arms around his neck.

duncan's arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me flush against him. "definitely an escape." he breathed out, clearly enjoying closeness. he leaned his forehead against mine and closed his eyes.

we stood for a moment, completely lost in each other's embrace. the only sound heard was the bubbling of the stream and rufus splashing around, enjoying the water. we were completely alone, surrounded by the trees and each other.

THE BEACH
long island, new york
5pm

back at the beach miranda, carrie, samantha and i sat on some beach chairs as charlotte was swimming with her new twenty something friends and boyfriend. duncan was in the water with rufus.

as we sat on the beach chairs, watching the waves roll in, my eyes were trained on duncan and rufus playing in the water. duncan was tossing a neon red ball over and over again, hoping rufus would catch it as they splashed around.

"please tell me things got steamy on your hike with duncan today." samantha said as all the girls turned to me.

they all groaned and shook their heads in disappointment before carrie piped in with a "boo!"

"well why the hell not? he's got everything you could ever ask for." samantha said as she applied her sunscreen.

"are you all forgetting that jamie is more guarded in relationships? she's already voiced this." miranda said as she looked around the beach in pure disgust.

"yeah, i did voice that didn't i?" i teased as i picked at a loose thread on my swimsuit as duncan continued to toss the ball in the water. i closed my eyes and took a deep breath, completely enjoying the heat of the sun on my skin. "it's a defense mechanism, okay?" i mumbled to the girls as i got comfortable. "and plus, he's not rushing it so i'm not."

"i know i know." carrie said, rolling her eyes. "i just don't get why you can't just open yourself up to something good that's in front of you."

i shrugged, "i just don't want to end up like my parents i guess." i said referring to their divorce. "and then my brother branched out and got married and look at him. getting a divorce."

miranda shook her head and put down her sun glasses, "you can't let your parents' relationship choices affect your own...that's no way to live." she said bluntly.

"i'm already getting attached to duncan as it is...he's completely broken me down." i said as i watched him laugh as rufus once again came out of the water completely soaked.

samantha suddenly perked up and sat straight up in her chair, her eyebrows wiggling like crazy. "broken you down, huh?" she teased.

i blushed and rolled my eyes, a small smile on my lips. "shut up." i said before glancing in duncan's direction once more, admiring the way the water droplets glistened under the sun.

"look at them." miranda said pointing at the twenty something girls who did rotations on the sand to get tan.

"when did tanning come back in style?" samantha questioned as she applied even more sunscreen.

"how much sunscreen do you need?" i said as i watched her apply loads of sunscreen.

carrie nodded and put her magazine down, "sam can sit in a microwave and not burn."

"charlotte's been out there so long, i don't think she's even put on any sunscreen. which apparently isn't good for her twenty seven year old image." samantha said. "i mean, the girl put on oil."

"let her have her fun now, come christmas day she'll look like twenty seven year old handbag," miranda joked.

just then a man with a hairy chest walked over to carrie. "yellow umbrellas seem to very in season this year." he said to her.

"hey! samantha, miranda, jamie this is doctor bradley domingo." carrie introduced us.

"nice to meet you." i said with a nod, "what kind of doctor are you?"

"internal medicine, general purpose kind of thing." he answered just as my doctor walked over.

"hey, doc. meet doctor bradley domingo...bradley this is doctor duncan wright." i introduced the two.

duncan shook bradley's hand and chuckled, "another doctor i see." he said before looking over his shoulder, noticing how rufus was shaking his body, flinging water everywhere.

i laughed as rufus continued to splash around, soaking the beach before finally making his way towards us.

samantha let out a groan, "oh christ, don't let that dog near me."

"he's a sweet boy!" i said as i rubbed rufus' head.

rufus sat between my chair and carrie's chair, his wet fur making my legs damp. carrie let out another groan, "gross, he's soaking wet."

"that's rufus for you." duncan chuckled as he made his way behind my chair and leaned on it.

"d, did you want to sit down?" i asked him.

duncan shook his head no and placed both his hands on my shoulders. "i'm fine right here." he smiled, beginning to rub my shoulders.

"so anyway, i'm gonna go take a dip. promise not to ditch me?" bradley said to carrie.

"promise." she said as she watched him run into the water. though i paid little to no attention as he ran off. "i met him at the book event earlier." carrie informed the girls and i.

"i've got to start reading." samantha joked.

"he's cute but i'm just not really sure if i'm interested." carrie announced.

"good looking, polite, has a house in the hamptons...what's not to like?" samantha listed off.

just then charlotte came over while in greg's arms. "you guys have to get in the water! it feels amazing."

"you better put on some sunscreen georgette hamilton." carrie warned jokingly.

"oh! that's okay, i never burn!" she said as she hopped out of greg's arms.

"well i do." miranda said as she got up, headed to the grocery store. "i'm going to the store, you all need anything?"

"get some rum! we can make long island iced teas!" charlotte said with a smile.

"yes! i love long island iced teas." said the younger boy.

"excellent!" miranda said in a frat boy accent before walking away, causing myself, the girls and duncan to laugh.

"you know what, i'll get in." i said as i got up slowly. "you coming?" i asked duncan.

duncan smiled, "yeah? alright." he said as he grabbed my hand as we both walked through the hot sand.

the water was cool against my skin as we continued walking out into the water. the water went from our ankles, to our knees, and then finally our thighs. rufus sat by carrie's chair, completely soaked from his earlier water playtime.

as we stood together in the water, duncan's arms wrapped around me from behind. "this feels good." i murmured as i relaxed my body against his.

duncan's lips gently brushed against my neck as he held me close. he mumbled something against my skin in response, clearly feeling incredibly content in the moment. the sound of the waves surrounding us and the feel of his body pressed against mine was both relaxing and electrifying.

"you know what would make this even better?" i teased playfully as i shifted in his arms, turning my body so that i was now facing him.

a smile tugged on his lips as his hands moved from my waist to my hips. "what's that?" he asked, his eyes locked on mine.

i wrapped my arms around his neck, my fingers playing with the damp hair at the nape of his neck. "long island iced tea maybe?" i joked as i played with a loose strand of hair behind his ear.

duncan chuckled and pulled me flush against his body before picking me up out of the water and spinning me around. i let out a small squeal and wrapped my legs around his waist, giggling.

he moved in and kissed me, his lips meeting mine in a quick but passionate kiss.

we broke the kiss and he gently set me back down in the water, both of us grinning from ear to ear. i looked at him through my eyelashes and my breath hitched slightly at how unbelievably handsome he was.

HAMPTONS BEACH HOME
long island, new york
7pm

rested, rejuvenated and in love the girls, duncan and i were back at the beach home feeling almost twenty nine again. even miranda was in good spirits.

"i just got back from the market! fresh corn and seafood for dinner!" she announced with a big smile as rufus ran through the house.

"do you want us to help you? i was just about to help duncan wash rufus but then i can help!" i said with a smile.

miranda shook her head and set her bags down on the table. "no no, go ahead and help duncan. i've got this." she said with a wave of her hand.

charlotte then started doing a little dance to show that either she was uncomfortable or had to go pee. "i have to go shower because i'm all itchy since the sand is in my bathing suit but then i'll help!" she said before running up the stairs.

"okay, take your time. samantha that came for you." miranda said as she pointed to an envelope.

samantha's eyes widened as she reached for the envelope. "oh!" she said as she tore open the envelope. "oh my god!" she said in frustration as she read it.

"what's wrong?" duncan asked.

"it's for the hamptons hoedown tonight! and the event is being run by 'nina g public relations!'" samantha complained.

it seemed that overnight samantha's ex- assistant reinvented herself as 'nina g public relations.'

"i was up for that job! and now she's using my rolodex to put together the guest list." she complained.

i watched as samantha ran to the living room in annoyance and shrugged before heading into the other bathroom where duncan and i would wash rufus.

i went straight for the tub and started running warm water for rufus. he sat at my feet, tail wagging and tongue stuck out as he waited patiently for his much needed bath.

"okay boy, up you get." i said as duncan lifted rufus up and set him into the tub. he sat nicely as i began to rub the dog shampoo all over his fur.

duncan grabbed the detachable shower head and began to spray the thick, sudsy soap from rufus' fur. "he's being good." he chuckled as rufus looked up at us with large, pleading eyes.

"i think he just likes the water." i said. "what is with your dog and water?"

"i swear he's either a fish or a toddler with how much he loves water." duncan chuckled as he watched as i washed the rest of rufus' fur. "you're too good to him." he said.

i laughed and shrugged as i rinsed rufus off once more. "i've got a soft spot for him. it's not my fault he's so damn cute."

just then charlotte stormed in, "um! can you give us a second?" charlotte said to duncan as she held her robe closed.

duncan held up his hands in surrender as he walked out of the bathroom, leaving myself and rufus with charlotte.

"what's wrong?" i asked charlotte as rufus sat obediently in the tub.

she then opened her towel, revealing a small tick on her stomach. "i have a tiny tick on my stomach and i can't get it off!" she said.

"does it hurt?" i asked as i looked at it.

"no but it itches!" she said.

i looked closer and looked up at her, "honey...i don't know what that is. we have a doctor here just ask him!" i said helplessly.

charlotte's face fell in disappointment, "ugh fine." she said as she closed the robe only to reveal the tick in a huff.

"duncan!" i called out.

duncan came into the bathroom once more to see rufus in the bathtub and charlotte in a huff. "what's up?" he asked curiously.

"we need a doctor." i said as i gestured to charlotte's stomach. "is that a tick?"

duncan walked over and looked closer, his eyes widening in surprise. "that's not a tick." he said as he looked at me in disbelief.

"it's not a tick?" charlotte said in a panic as she pulled the robe tighter around herself.

"not even close." he said with a chuckle.

"well then what is it?" charlotte whined as she rubbed the spot furiously.

"i hate to be blunt...but those my dear are crabs," duncan chuckled as he glanced at me.

charlotte's face went from panic to disgust to complete and utter shame in two point two seconds. "what?!" she shrieked in horror. she then ran out of the bathroom leaving duncan and i to let out a laugh.

i shook my head as charlotte stomped down the hall, heading towards her room. i looked at duncan, "that was not what i was expecting."

"i feel pretty bad...i have never seen someone so embarrassed." duncan said.

"i mean in her defense she looked completely mortified." i said as rufus began to shake his body, shaking off small droplets of water all over us.

"i guess she really is in her twenties." he said with a shrug, causing us to share another laugh.

HOUSE PARTY
long island, new york
9pm

every year one of the local hampton's billionaires got down and dirty and threw a big hoedown full of cowboys and caviar. it was the event of the season.

we joined samantha to lend our moral support. "i don't believe it! there are people here that don't even come to my parties and they came to nina's." she said as we walked through the party.

i wore mini denim skirt with a black prada belt along with a white tight fitting top and a denim vest. i wore one of duncan's red bandanas around my neck and a cowgirl hat and boots that i picked up.

duncan chuckled, he was wearing a plaid button down with the classic ten gallon hat and black boots. i could feel his gaze lingering on the exposed skin that my outfit exposed.

"you look incredible in that." he said as he wrapped his arm around my waist.

we continued walking into the house as the country music got louder. there were cowboy and cowgirl outfits everywhere, and lots of food and drinks. there were different games lined up everywhere.

"this is definitely one of the more extravagant hoedowns." i murmured as we looked around.

"no kidding." duncan said before we abruptly stopped.

samantha took a bite from one of the kabobs that a server was handing out and rolled her eyes. "i am just so depressed right now." she then started to walk away.

carrie grabbed her hand, "hey! where are you going?" she asked.

"to congratulate nina. i may need her to hire me someday." she said before stomping off.

duncan and i shared a look before i looked up and noticed greg talking to some other girl. charlotte, still pissed that he gave her crabs marched over to him.

"mama's mad..." carrie said.

duncan headed towards the drink table that was outside as carrie and i continued to walk. i looked over, seeing that there was a young attractive girl standing with a guy.

carrie then abruptly stopped causing me to stop next to her. "is it you?" she called out to the couple.

they looked over and the man spoke, "hey, what are you...what are you doing here?" he said.

"what am i doing here? what are you doing here?" carrie replied.

"well, i just got back from paris." the man said, i then realized it was big. "oh, carrie this is natasha."

"hi; it's a pleasure to meet you." natasha said. "i've heard so much about you."

carrie nodded, "oh really?" carrie then looked at me. "this is jamie...my friend."

i smiled and gave a small wave. "it's nice to meet you both." i said politely as i looked natasha up and down.

while she was pretty, i found myself somewhat in awe of her. tall, thin, brunette; she looked like a runway model.

just as i felt a little self conscious about myself, i felt duncan place a hand on the small of my back, giving it a light squeeze.

"drinks?" he asked, his gaze on me as he handed a drink to carrie and then to me.

i smiled as i accepted the drink, "thank you." i said as i took a sip. duncan then glanced at the couple, "oh right...this is duncan, duncan." i said as i introduced them.

duncan smiled and raised his beer. "nice to meet you." he said before looking at me, his hand still on my back.

"excuse me," natasha said before sliding out of the awkward circle.

i realized that big and carrie needed to talk so i swiftly walked out with duncan.

once we were out of earshot i let out a sigh. "awkward..." i murmured as i took another sip.

duncan wrapped his arm around my waist as we walked back towards a quieter area of the party.

"yeah, awkward." duncan muttered as he placed a hand on my hip, his eyes looking at me as we walked. "you look so damn good in that outfit." he said under his breath.

i was mid-sip at his comment and choked on my drink slightly as he complimented me. i pulled the drink away from my mouth and cleared my throat. "you're not so bad yourself cowboy."

just then the sound of fireworks filled the air, causing us to look up. there was a big display of colors that lit up the night sky.

"ooo fireworks!" i said as i looked up. duncan was still looking at me, his gaze never leaving me.

the display went off for several minutes, lights illuminating the sky in a mesmerizing way. the finale began as the lights were almost blinding in their intensity.

duncan didn't look even once, he kept his dark blue eyes on me, "you're so beautiful." he whispered.

"shut up." i said, giggling as i shyed away from his compliment. he tugged on my waist, bringing me closer to him.

"hey don't shush me." he teased before pulling me flush against his body. he then took off his hat and i mirrored his actions. just then he set his hat on my head.

i laughed as i set mine on his head. we shared a similar look to that of the old west. cowboys and cowgirls.

the hat was large on his head, causing his golden hair to peek out from the front of it. "mmm, cowboy." i said with a small laugh.

"yeah, cowgirl?" he said in a deep, sultry voice as he slowly drew me closer to him.

his arm coiled tighter around my waist, bringing me nearly flush against his body. "yeah." i murmured as i looked up at him through my eyelashes.

he was so damn attractive. it should've been illegal.

his grip on my lower back tightened as he looked into my eyes, his gaze unwavering. he leaned his face down close to mine, nearly touching. "you're gorgeous." he muttered just loud enough for me to hear.

"shut up and kiss me." i said back, biting my lower lip gently. duncan didn't hesitate. he closed the gap and his mouth devoured mine.

he kissed me softly as he wrapped both arms around my waist, holding me tight. i wound my arms around his neck, pulling myself closer to his body as our mouths moved together.

despite the fireworks going on around us we were entirely lost in each other, nothing mattered other than the two of us.
