I cradle his face with the palms of my small hands and take in his appearance. He looks amazing and he doesn't even have to try.

I stare into his deep blue Galaxy eyes and he stares into mine.

"I can't believe that your the one who saved her life," I say.

He gently pulls my hands from his face and I frown.

Why did I frown?

He probably found that weird.

He then says calmly, "your welcome."

I instantly feel better when he plasters a bright smile across his face.

I look down to his dimples and he notices so I nervously turn around and look at my sister.

She did almost die just minutes before now.

"How do you feel?," I ask Summer.

"I'm okay," Summer responds.

Gavin comes up behind me and I stand.

He asks me what's wrong and I tell him everything that happened.

I tell him way to much even though the story wasn't that long but he listens, I think.

When I finish Gavin puts and an arm around my shoulder and kisses my cheek.

I let him do this small action only because I don't want to cause a scene, but I'm so angry inside at Gavin for daring to show me affection after what he just did.

"You know him?", Gavin asks me while staring at Scott.

My face reddens, not because I'm blushing or anything but because I'm angry. I don't show my anger though, not now at least.

I can't believe he's asking about me knowing Scott instead of asking Summer if she's okay.

Could he be any more of an asshole?

I could just tell him to fuck off now, but should I? I would hate to draw attention.

I hold my anger in and plainly tell Gavin, "He's my brothers best friend, I've known him my whole life."

I look down at the sand embarrassed that I took a step down from his throne.

After a small pause I add, "he saved Summers life."

Gavin looks at Summer and asks her if she's okay.

Summer stands up and walks to Scott, evidently ignoring Gavin.

"Once a brat always a brat," he says.

That's when I lose a bit of my temper.

"Are you kidding me right now?", I ask him through my teeth.

"What its true no matter how hard I try," he defends.

"She just drowned, she doesn't have to be nice to you right now," I tell him.

"She never is," he plainly states.

I look over my shoulder and notice that Summer is talking to Scott. I wonder what their talking about?

"I have to go, I'm meet you in the hotel," Gavin says.

"What do you mean your leaving, your my ride."

"I have to do something important, just take a cab," he tells me before walking away without a care in the world.

I let out a deep sigh and walk over to where Summer and Scott are.

Well it's official, I have the worst boyfriend a girl could have.

Im an idiot though. An idiot for staying with his ass after how shitty he treats me.

-MINUTES LATER-

"So your a life guard now," I say with a little laugh at the end. He laughs with me.

I never thought that Scott would be a life guard. I always thought that he would be a business man or something at an early age. Not to mention what happened years ago.

However, the beach job does suit him.

The way his light brown messy hair collides with the wind and his muscular stomach glistens under the sunlight.

I snap out of my lustful thoughts and look up at him.

I hate it that he has this insane effect on me.

I never felt this way about anyone ever before, not even Gavin.

"Yeah, it's just a small little job I have to make some extra money in the Summer," he tells me.

"That's cool", is all I could come up with saying.

"So you have a boyfriend," he states out of the blue.

Is he jealous? No he isn't, he doesn't like me like that. I'm just his best friends little sister. He was always closer with my brother than with my cousin, James.

"Yeah he's a tool," summer answer for me.

When I don't defend Gavin, Scott asks me "then why are you with him."

"He makes me happy," I lie. I don't want to talk to him about Gavin, it's just weird.

"Suuuuuure," Summer drags.

"So how have you been, I haven't seen you in a while," I say changing the subject.

He obliges and answers, "I've been good, I moved back into town recently so I'll be with your brother a lot." He chuckles and I smile.

"Well that's not good idea," I tease.

He catches on on my joke and flashes a dimpled smile. My heart warms and I feel goosebumps rising as he shifts closer to me.

My sister isn't watching us talk anymore, she's on the wet sand next to us making a sand castle with her hands.

"What are your plans for later," he asks.

"I don't have any," I state hesitantly.

"Well you do now, your brothers throwing a party at his place."

"You should come it'll be fun," he adds.

"I would love to go, but I can't," I decline.

"Why not, is it because of him?", he asks.

"No.Yes.. It's just I.. Um.." I try to come up with an excuse but it isn't working.

Then it hit me. "Summer."

"She needs someone to watch her."

"Your boyfriend can't do that?," he asks raising a brow.

"No... he can't," I sigh disappointed that my boyfriend sucks.
