Was that what it was? She blushed lightly, though it made her feel better to know she hadn't messed up. "[color=pink]You're fine,[/color]" She assured him as she tucked a stray hand of his hair behind his ear. Taking the beer he had for her, she thought it tasted great, a good contrast between the heat. She caught Alyssa's eye, who was wiggling her eyebrows at her as she drank her own beer, and she returned the gesture with a grin. "[color=pink]Just remember I'm only yours.[/color]" She told him quietly. Alyssa grinned, leaning back in her seat and relaxing. It was really nice to have everyone together like this. Her hand went to her chest, though she was too afraid of losing her necklace so she had secured it safely in her bag. She half wondered where Jacob had gone, though she felt like she had an idea where. It sounded bad, but she would rather feign ignorance than think on it too hard. They hadn't really discussed that, and the last thing she wanted to do was burst their little bubble. At least, not yet. They could just enjoy themselves for a little, right? It wasn't like he was hurting anyone. But the justifications made her feel somewhat guilty even as she tried not to think about it. Luckily for her, Jacob's return threw all those thoughts to the side, and she couldn't help but smile as his older brother teased him. Helene was genuinely surprised to see Jacob's brother approach the group. Considering that Jacob was doing his business, maybe it shouldn't have been so surprising after all, but he was still unexpected. His line was a bit on the cheesier side, but it still got an embarrassed smile out of her. She didn't know what Isaac had, but there was something about an older guy who knew how to talk to her, and she greatly enjoyed it. It was the kind of compliment she was looking for earlier, but finding it here wasn't too bad. Raising her eyebrows at him and playing coy, she decided to get up, tossing her ponytail over her shoulder. "[color=lightsalmon]I like direct,[/color]" She admitted, her eyes traveling up his body before settling on his eyes. Although as she caught sight of Terrance in the distance, her smile dropped immediately. It shouldn't have been so shocking to see him with other girls, but she felt like she had just got sucker punched in the gut. Maybe it was how open he was about it. Maybe it was how she wanted to yank those girls off of him and drown them in the ocean. Maybe it was the realization that that's why he had been acting weird lately; he was done with her. Made sense, he never did hang on to any girl for too long, and all good things would come to an end. She felt like she was owed at least a goodbye or last hurrah or some sort of explanation, but his actions said otherwise. This day was getting shittier by the moment. Scooping down and grabbing Alyssa's beer, ignoring her "[color=orange]Hey![/color]" of protest, she downed the rest of it, flashing Isaac a smile as she closed the distance between them, looking up at him curiously. "[color=lightsalmon]So what brings you around here?[/color]" As Alexander asked if she surfed, Gigi nodded. It was a bit sensitive for her to discuss the where and why, but considering they were alone and they already knew the nature of one another's work, she figured it was fine to talk about so long as she didn't go into any details. "[color=orangered]I learned it about five or six years ago. It's great exercise, though a little dangerous if you don't know what you're doing,[/color]" She admitted, although she felt herself getting lifted up. If this were a cartoon, a multitude of question marks would be around her head. What was he doing? Her question was answered when he mentioned how light she was, and she gave him a quizzical look. She was light? Considering how Helene had the audacity to tell her she needed to lose weight, it was a compliment, but that weird feeling in her chest returned. Why was he holding her like this still? Her heart seemed to be beating faster, too. How strange. "[color=orangered]All muscle,[/color]" She replied rather lamely, though as she looked up at him, she realized that she probably sounded lame. She tried to think of something her friends would say, but nothing came. Argh! Why was she feeling this way?! On the shore, Eva was still watching Alexander and Gigi in the water. No wonder Helene messed with her love life so much, it was genuinely enjoyable to watch other people interact with one another. As Arthur pulled off her shirt, her face turned red, as whether intentional or not, it was the same movement he used whenever he wanted her shirt off in [I]other[/I] situations. Distracting herself with her own hair, she decided to braid it to get her mind out of the gutter, but as she felt Arthur's hands travel down her back, her mind decided to grace her with the image of him yanking off her swimsuit, climbing on top of her and--no, no, no, she needed to calm down, this was a public place! Once he was finished, she exhaled a breath she wasn't aware she had been holding. "[color=pink]U-Um...let me get you, now,[/color]" She said, not quite able to hide the shakiness in her voice as she hurriedly took the sunscreen from him. Rubbing her hands together, she positioned herself behind him, though she kissed his shoulder lightly before rubbing the sunscreen on him. Lord have mercy, she was having a hard time right now, trying to keep her head low as she made sure he was protected. Once she was finished, she reached up and kissed him on the cheek, smiling sweetly. "[color=pink]Wanna go in the water?[/color]" She asked, praying he'd say yes so she can cool herself off. Though a cold shower would probably be more effective... [center][img]http://heartfull.life/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2016/04/divider_ribbon2.png[/img][/center]
