Summer Entanglement (bxb)

Chapter 14

Ten hours later and we were finally taking at break at the beautiful Myrtle beach in South Carolina.

"Gosh, I love the ocean" I said as we stepped out of the vehicle and looked around at the vast body of water. 

"I want to buy a hat" Tanner blurted out randomly. I turned to him, his eyes squinting in the sunlight. 

"We can stop by a souvenir shop, should probably buy stuff for mom anyway" Dakota commented with a shrug, looking at his brothers. They nodded in agreement before we made our way to one of the many souvenir shops that lined the sandy beach. 

"Welcome! Do you guys need help finding anything today?" a little old lady asked as we walked through the door. 

"No, thank you we are just browsing" Sebastian replied to her politely. 

"Let me know if you need any assistance" she finished with a smile on her face before walking behind the cash register. We all split up and ventured around the stores. There were racks and racks of clothing along with shelves of knick-knacks. 

"Oh, here we are" Tanner said as we turned down an aisle that had a variety of hats. "What about this one?" he said as he put on a bucket hat.

"That makes you look like an old man" I scrunched up my face then looked at the hats before spotting one that would most likely look the best on him. "Here, this one" I said as I handed him the black and white ball cap with a 'Myrtle Beach' logo on the front. He put it on and I nodded in approval.

"Alright, well now that's covered. We should look at some things for mom and dad" He said as we began scanning the aisles for souvenirs. 

We ended up picking out a tiny spoon for mom, as she collects the tiny spoons for some odd reason. Then, we got dad a coffee mug. I seen a bulb like bottle that had 'Myrtle Beach' in cursive and it had sand and mini seashells in it. I picked that out for Lydia because I can't forget about my best friend. I told Tanner he should get Trey something, it took a bit of convincing but he did end up buying a muscle shirt for him. 

"Gotta think of your besties bro" I nudged him with my elbow with a satisfied look. 

"We aren't really the type of friends to do that, but since you insist on it" he rolled his eyes and I smiled.

"Find everything, boys?" Damon asked as we all gathered by the cashier. 

"Yeppers" I stated and we all waited in line to pay for our items. 

After paying, we meandered back to the RV to place our newly bought items in our stuff.

"Can we find a laundromat around here?" I asked awkwardly scratching the back of my neck "Kind of under packed" I said with pursed lips.

"Yeah, no problem" Sebastian smiled. So, we all gathered our dirty clothing and ended up doing laundry at one of the laundromats nearby. 

"Honestly should've done this back in Miami" Jace blurted out as we sat waiting for our loads to be done. Everyone was mostly on their phones as we waited for the timers to go off on the machines.

  "True, we are only here for the night" Matt agreed.

"Aw c'mon guys, they are almost done" Ryder reassured as I looked at the dryers that said our loads would be done in the next 25 minutes. Tanner was texting on his phone, so I peeped over to see he was texting Trey.

"Are you ever going to tell him?" I asked as I placed my feet on his lap.

"Tell him what?" he asked as he directed his eyes towards me. I gave him a dumbfounded look and darted my eyes from him to me and back to him quickly, in hopes he'd understand I meant us.

"I don't know" he sighed 

"Lydia knows...If they get together, how could she keep that from him?" I tried.

"I'll figure a way to tell him...I just don't want to lose my best friend" he admitted with a hint of worry crossing his features.

"If he has an issue with it, is he really as good of friend as you thought?" I asked and he glared at me.

"You know he's been there for me since day one and vice versa" he stated and I shrugged with my hands up.

"I'm just saying, he shouldn't have an issue. I mean look at Lydia, she'd completely for it" I offered and he rolled his eyes.

"Because some females have this weird fetish with guys being with guys" he deadpanned.

"Ah ah, no she accepted it and just thinks it's adorable...It's not like she asks to watch us make out" I said with a roll of my eyes.

"Be careful, roll them eyes enough and they'll get stuck" he teased and I flicked the bill of his hat.

"Shut up" I grumbled with a slight chuckle. He pocketed his phone and place his hands on my ankles and brushed his thumbs across my skin. I hummed with a smile on my face. I love getting these small loving touches from him. He absentmindedly drew random shapes with his fingers as his eyes scanned the laundromat's interior. I just watched him as he was in his own little world. 

I think him bleaching his hair was a good idea. I think it looks sexy as hell and I know he, or more so I, will have to upkeep it to keep it that way, if he so chooses. His eyes flickered to mine and a smile crept on to his face as he caught me staring. I extended my hand out to him and he quickly took it with his, interlacing our fingers. 

A loud buzzing sounded indicating our clothes were done drying so we all got up and grabbed one of those laundry carts and emptied the dryers into them. We made a line at the folding stations and chatted while we folded our clothes and placed them back in our luggage. 

It didn't take us long as we didn't have too much clothes anyway, but we got hotel rooms at one of the hotels along the beach and placed our stuff in our rooms, changed into our trunks and made our way down to the beach. 

"I think we should take a summer trip every year" I said as we stripped our shirts off and laying them on our laid out towels. "Make it like a tradition" I added on.

"I like that idea" Jace piped up while looking at his brothers for their opinions. 

"I'd have to see how caring for the baby goes but it doesn't sound like a bad idea" Matt chimed in.

"It wouldn't have to be extravagant like going to multiple places, like this one....But we could all agree on a place and just go and enjoy a week or something together" I shrugged. I can honestly see our group friendship staying strong for years and years to come. 

"Yes!" Ryder exclaimed "That sounds awesome, I love traveling" he beamed. The others offered their approval of the idea with a nod or verbal 'Sounds like a plan'. 

"We could even write a place we've always wanted to go to down on a popsicle stick and each year we could draw a stick and that's where we'd go" Jace offered 

"Great idea babyboy" Damon cooed "That way there would be no arguing on where to go" he nodded to himself as he thought about it.

"We'd have to make sure everyone has a different place" Dakota piped up, looking between Tanner and I. I was confused for a minute and then realized that when we played the truths game, Tanner and I chose Australia on where we would want to go.

"Good point" I did a lame finger gun at him and he snorted a laugh. 

"Alright, let's enjoy the sun before it disappears!" Tanner called out as he was heading toward the water with a football in his hand.  

"I seen a seafood buffet on our way into the hotel so we should totally hit that up for dinner" I mentioned as the rest of us started to walk to catch up with Tanner. 

We played catch like any guy would do at the beach before we started to just swim and goof around in the water. There were a group of what I assumed to be college students, playing volleyball and they asked us if we wanted to join. Jace, Matt and Ryder declined and settled for shell hunting along the shoreline while Tanner, the twins and I decided to join in on the fun. Tanner had put his hat back on but he flipped it backwards and good god, he looked delicious. Something about a man wearing his hat backwards, just somehow makes them look so much hotter than they already are. It was quite hard to focus on the game as I was distracted by my good looking twin, back muscles rippling under his skin as he moved to hit the ball. The way his brown eyes shined a honey color as the sun hit them just right. The sweat/water drizzling down his tanned skin. I was completely captivated. 

Suddenly a hard force hit me square in the face. 

"Oooooh" I heard from everyone around us. The volleyball dropped to the sand with a thud and placed my hand over my face.

"Ow" I mumbled.

"You alright?" Tanner said as he made his way over to me.

"Peachy" I said with a grimace, taking my hand away from my face.

"Do you want to sit out for a bit?" He asked with a chuckle. I stuck my tongue out at him before nodding slightly. We maneuvered our way over to the sidelines and sat our asses in the sand. I wiggled my nose a little bit, luckily no bleeding.

"How'd you get hit?" he asked.

"Wasn't paying attention" I mumbled.

"Usually you're pretty competitive" he stated "What were you distracted by?" 

"Really?" I said in disbelief, my eyes scanning his body.

"Was never an issue before" he chuckled.

"Yeah but now you're wearing a hat...backwards" he gave me a confused look.

"So I'm only distractingly attractive when I have a hat on?" he teased

"Backwards" I stated with a finger pointing at him and he bent down and lightly bit my finger, making me laugh. "I kid, I kid but it's an added bonus" I whispered seductively while biting my lip, making him groan in response.

"I would take you right now if I could" he stated with lust swirling in his eyes. 

"Shhh, there's people around" I snickered as I laid back on the sand and watched as he basically eye f****d me. "Plus, don't you think it's my turn?" I smirked as a surprised look took over his face with a hint of a blush.

It was silent besides the occasional smacking and hitting of the volleyball on the court that was ten feet away.

"We don't have to take that step yet" I muttered with a frown. 

"No..." he started 

"Tan, I was mostly just joking...sort of" I said truthfully with a grimace.

He sighed "Char, it's not that I don't want to" his blush deepened before he cleared his throat "I'm just a little nervous about it" he whispered softly. I felt myself soften with his adorableness. 

"It's okay, we can take that step whenever you feel ready" hopefully reassuring him that he doesn't have to pressure himself if he isn't ready.

"It'd only be fair" he countered and I let out a huff.

"It's not supposed to be about fairness, Tanner" I hooked our pinkies together, that were between our thighs. "It's just acts of love that we show one another...Our relationship shouldn't be a competition on who does what to whom X amount of times and expecting a payback or whatever"

"I'm just used to Beth wanting me to eat her out every time she gave me a blowjob" he replied and I shuttered from the mental image of eating taco. Internal gag.

"Well, I'm not her. And she obviously didn't value the actual meaning of love making if she insisted on getting 'paid back' for a blowjob...Granted, if it was a giving every single time without receiving theeeeeen I'd understand the irritation with it" I reasoned.

"No, I'd never make her give me a blowjob..she'd just whip it out and start su-"

"Oooookay, I'd rather not hear about how your ex sucked on my c**k" 

"Your c**k?" he asked with a laugh.

"Yes, MY c**k" I said with a little wink and looked around to check if the coast was clear on onlooking eyes, before giving his crotch a nice little squeeze. 

"Don't start something you won't finish" he said sternly. When I squeezed his crotch I noticed his d**k hardening in his shorts. 

"Challenge accepted" before I squeezed it again and wiggled my eyebrows. He growled, which may I say is super f*****g sexy when a guy does that, especially when it's in the crook of your neck before he nips and sucks on it. Wow, getting myself all hot and bothered and he's not even touching me. He stood up and picked me up to haul me over his shoulders. I began to get excited but then he started to walk toward the water and I frowned.

"This is so not how I planned this to be going" I grumbled and he just chuckled before his feet met the water. Then with much force he whipped me off of his shoulders and into the water. Instead of flailing like I would've, I just calmly laid in the water, blowing out the air to keep myself submerged. After a couple seconds, Tanner yanked my hand to pull me up.

"Cooled off now?" he asked with a smirk.

"Uncalled for" I sent a hard glare at him.

"We're having fun with our friends, we have the rest of our lives to have sexy time" he chuckled and I rolled my eyes.

"d**k" 

"You love me" 

"Unfortunately" I said but then a small smile graced my lips and he smiled back.

"Let's just swim or float" he said as he looked to see the other three leaving the game and coming into the water. I laid back and began to float while looking up at the sky that soon began to change colors as the sun started to set.

"The sky is so pretty" I said out of the blue, voicing sounding muffled due to my ears being under the water. I felt Tanner's hand skim the water next to mine before he laced our fingers together underwater.

"You guys okay?" Ryder came into view, looking down at us. I popped up, keeping our hands together.

"Yeah, just floating" 

"Well everyone is starting to get hungry so let's go dry off and get food" he said before trudging his way back to shore. I gave a small squeeze to Tanner's hand before we parted and began our way back to shore as well.

"This is probably our last beach day" I pouted

"Why do you say that?" 

"Because we are going to NYC next silly" I said in duh tone.

"I'm sure Jace and them live by some sort of man made beach like by the St. Croix" 

"Touché" I nodded "How long are we sticking around with them?" I asked referring to after our road trip.  

"Well from what Matt said about the ultrasound next week, our flight is two weeks after that" He notified me as our wet feet began to collect the sand. I hated that feeling. I love the beach but I hated the sand sticking to wet parts of your body. That is why I would never have s*x on the beach. Sand going in places you don't want it to. Yikes.

"Man, I'm starving and that seafood buffet sounds divine" Matt groaned as we started to dry our bodies off. 

"Riiight, I love seafood. Oh and hush puppies, gotta love the hush puppies" I commented when we finally packed our stuff up to go back to the hotel to change. I looked over at Tanner as he and the other guys talked and laughed about what ever they were joking about and I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face. This is probably one of the best summers of my life.
