Chapter Eighteen

Harmony's POV

"Welcome to Beach Town Mony" Drew chirps happily as we drive past the sign that says exactly that.

I smile at him and turn to look back out the window at the passing scenery.

Little boutiques line the streets, the sidewalks crowded with people. Everywhere you look, there's a beach. The beaches are teeming with tourists and BeachTown citizens. A cluster of stands are set up along the beaches, some clothing stands, others ice cream stands. The water is a clear blue colour, boats floating in the ocean everywhere you look adding white bobs to the blue. The sun is high in the sky, projecting heat to the town. There are trees all along the highway and several scattered around in town, most of them palm trees.

We pass a couple suburbs on our way to the dock where we'll board a boat that'll bring us to Drew's parent's island. Drew points out places where he spent his time while he lived here. For example, the school, the run down arcade, the movie theatre and of course the beaches and the mall.

Drew opens the sun roof and the windows, letting in a warm breeze. Folks wave to us even if they don't know who we are. Some men that look to be Drew's age all wave at him as we drive by, shouting at him and laughing, Drew answering them through his open window.

We continue to drive down the busy streets until we arrive at the docks. Drew pulls the car into a parking space and jumps out, grabbing our things from the back and letting Echo out to stretch his legs. I too, jump out of the car, my hair blowing slightly in the breeze.

Drew stands beside me, his smile still full blown across his face. Drew drops the bags of the rail and vaults himself over the bar down to the lower dock. I watch him go, my mouth hanging open in shock.

"Close your mouth Mony, you'll catch flies" Drew teases.

I snap my mouth closed, glaring playfully down at Drew.

Drew chuckles and waves me down. I raise my eyebrows in a you've-got-to-be-kidding-me look.

"Mony just jump down, I'll catch you" Drew shouts up to me, chuckling.

"Sure you would, then you'd drop me" I tell him, my voice rising a little towards the end.

Drew feigned shock, throwing a hand over his heart, "I'd never do that to you Mony, now just jump"

I roll my eyes and take a deep breath. I heave myself onto the bar, allowing my feet to dangle before closing my eyes and pushing myself off.

I don't scream, I only let out a little squeak as I land in Drew's outstretched arms.

Drew chuckles, sitting me on my feet. I crack open my eyes, looking down at my feet making sure I'm not standing above the water or anything. I let out a sigh of relief when I realise I am in fact standing on the wooden dock.

Drew hops into the big white boat in front of us, swinging the bags onto the cushioned bench. He extends his hand to me, which I take gratefully to hoist myself into the boat.

Drew starts up the engine, "Mony, can you untie the boat for me?" Drew hollers from the steering wheel.

"Sure thing" I glance over the side of the boat, looking for the chain wrapped around something to keep the boat from moving.

I spot it over beside fishing nets. I lean over the side of the boat and undo the chain, quickly pulling myself back onto the boat before falling into the water.

I head back to the front of the boat where Drew is operating it. I walk up beside him, leaning against the rails to look out at the ocean.

"Drew, can we play music on this thing?"

Drew nods, "Yea, there's an iPod dock below, go grab it"

"A little bossy are we?" I snicker, heading below.

"No, Not at all" Drew chuckles.

I giggle lightly and jump down the steps arriving below. I glance around the room for an iPod dock and spot it sitting on the corner of a table. I snatch it and make my way back up stairs.

I sit the iPod dock on the ground, plugging in my iPod and flicking through the choices. I end up choosing Whispers in the dark by: Skillet.

I bob my head to the beat, dancing around the boat. I haul off my shirt to reveal my bikini top.

Drew told me last night that we would be on a boat for about an hour to get to his family's island, so I decided to wear my swimming suit underneath my clothes.

I will be the one that's gonna hold you

I will be the one that you run to

My love is

A burning consuming fire

I sing rather loudly. I hop skip around the boat, towards the bow. I hop onto the rails and grip the rope tightly in my hands to prevent myself from falling, and then I lean out, wind whipping my hair out behind me.

Before I can do anything to prevent it, Drew takes a sharp turn to the left and I go splashing into the water. I yelp before I fall under, waving my arms around.

I start sinking towards the bottom, but I push myself up with my arms to the surface. I break through the water, taking big gulps of air.

I treadmill in the water, turning to look for Drew. I spot him on the boat, the boat floating in the water, laughing.

"DREW YOU JACKASS!" I holler, doggy paddling over to the boat.

Drew continues to laugh, clutching his stomach, hunched over the steering wheel.

I haul myself out of the water and stalk over to Drew, "Andrew Edwards, you did that on purpose" I yell, growing closer to him.

Drew laughs louder, "And if I did?" He hollers back.

"There is hell to pay for you then" I hiss, jabbing my finger into his chest.

"Is that right?" Drew laughs.

I smirk and nod my head, "It sure is, welcome to hell Drew"

With that, I push him hard in the chest. He flips over the rail of the boat. A wide smile spreads across my face in triumph, I begin to do my happy dance to more, when Drew reaches up and grabs my arm, yanking me into the water.

A shriek of surprise escapes my lips the minute I land in the water. I tumble back into the ice cold water, Drew's hand still clamped around my wrist. I swim back up the surface for the second time and sneakily take a mouthful of water.

I pop up to see Drew already bobbing there, laughing. "Gotcha Mony"

I smirk and roll my eyes, then open my mouth and spit the water into his face.

"OH MY GOD" Drew shouts, wiping furiously at his face.

I laugh evilly, "Karma's a bitch Andrew dear"

Drew recovers and gives me a playful glare, then he dunks me under the water.

I punch his chest under the water, struggling to get up when he releases his hold on my head.

I glare at him when I'm above the water, Drew just smirks and says, "Karma's a bitch Mony Peaches"

I growl and lunge for him, "Ain't that the truth" I say, knocking him back under the water.

That's how we spent the afternoon, splashing each other and dunking each other under. I couldn't have been happier then I was at that moment, although deep down in my gut I was worried to meet Drew's family.
