pushed a strand of wet hair that came loose out of my face before splashing Ella back. "Bitch!" she shrieked, diving under before arms pulled me down. We still play like kids in the water.

Coming back up to the surface, I took a deep breath of hair. Grace began singing, jumping in the air with spotify playing.

"All weekend long, all weekend, we getting gone, all weekend long, all weekend long! We going strong, all weekend long! Do what we want, all weekend long, do what we want, all weekend long! Till the next one comes!"

I laughed uncontrollably as she held the phone up as her microphone while using a towel as effects. "Damn it!" she whined when she dropped the phone into the sand.

"Hey, girls!" we all whipped our heads to the right to see MaKenzie walking towards.

Grace looked up, clasping her wet hands in front of her, "Que the sandstorm, God." Stifling the laugh, I got out of the water before looking around for my towel. MaKenzie had it in her hands, spreading it to tan on.

"Swim." Ella suggested causing MaKenzie to wave her off with a manicured hand.

"My makeup will run. I forgot waterproof, and the struggle is real, hun." she sighed in exaggeration.

My blank stare didnt go unnoticed,"Why would you wear makeup to a private beach?"

She flicked her ray bans down, "So I wouldn't come out of the water looking like you."

Grace pounced, Ella catching her before there was a fight. We know who would win, at least. "Not all of us can be natural." Ella spoke up, earning a glare from her.

"I have to tan, I can't afford another spray tan. I used it on this cute as fuck bathing suit." she squealed, making me scoff. Could she be more fake?

"Hey, baby girl." Hayes grinned in my direction, my eyes skimming the many abs.

I looked at Grace, "God answered one of the prayers." She thinned her lips, trying not laugh while Ella didn't care. I sighed when I realized I still didn't have a towel.

"Hey, MaKenzie." Hayes spoke up as Johnson rolled his eyes.

"Sorry we took so long, there was this dude, and he shot-"

I cut Shawn off, "Why'd you let him shoot you?" He didn't reply to that when Cameron smacked Shawn's back before letting out a breathy laugh.

"Can I have my towel?" I asked the quiet girl who fluttered her eyelashes at Hayes.

She scoffed, "Your towel?" Only nodding, Hayes faced me, "You can use mine."

I smiled knowingly before going to grab it, "After you swim with us."

"But I already swam." I whined, reaching for it again. He shrugged, throwing the towel on the sand and snatching me up over his shoulder.

I sighed, "Not the first time." He shook from his laughter, and I watched the girls from his back who were taking pictures. They better not post this.

"Have you been doing squats?" I smirked, eyeing his ass that was covered by his navy blue trunks.

He smacked mine, making me screech, "No, but you have."

Blushing uncontrollably, I thanked Hayes when my body hit the water to cool my red cheeks that we're burning. "Hey, Matt." I scrunched up my nose.

"Mal, hey. When did you get in here?"

"Hayes threw me in." I mumbled and he nodded.

"Mal, when did you get such a fin-" I shrieked, cutting off Carter before I was pulled under. I opened my eyes under the water to see a smiling Hayes. I shook my head, kissing his cheek before swimming back to the surface.

Ella waves at me, "Mal, let's go get pizza for the guys!"

"Okay, I'm coming!" I turned to the guys, "I'm getting us food. I'll be back."

"Bye, baby girl." Where'd this nickname come from? Hayes grasped my hip, pulling me into him before bring his lips to my ear, "Don't forget the 2 liter Dr. Pepper."

I rolled my eyes, getting out and grabbing his towel. "Let's get dressed."
