The next day I got up feeling great. BJ called and asked, "Would you and Chris like to go out on our boat?"

"With who?"

"Just me, Aaron, NICK, and you two!"

"Sure I'd like to. I'll call and see if he would like to!"

"Mk you do that and get ready and we will meet you outside in an hour!"

"Sounds cool! Bye!"

"Bye!"

As soon as I got off the phone with her, I called Chris. "Hey sleepyhead!"

"What do you want?", he mumbled.

"BJ just called and asked if we wanted to go out on their boat, so do you want to?"

"Sure!"

"Get ready meet me out back in an hour! Ok?"

"Ok! Bye!"

"Bye!"

After I hung-up the phone I went in my bathroom and brushed my teeth and hair. I went in my room and found one bikini and I was still a bit tired and didn't feel like finding another. I went in the bathroom took a quick shower and put my blue Tommy bikini on. I had to find a pair of shorts and a shirt to wear over it. I found my navy Nike shorts that used to be swimming trunks and an old UNC Tarheels shirt. I went down stair to ask mom to braid my hair. While she did that I ate breakfast. I only had 15 minute so it was like its name, a fast break! I went into the down stairs bathroom to get my tanning lotion and sun screen. I had 8 minutes so I called Chris to see if he was ready. "Hey are you ready?"

"Yeah�I'm just sitting here watching cartoons!"

"Well�come on over here."

"Ok�bye!"

"Bye."

It took Chris 5 minutes to get over to my house. The usual time from his house to mine is 2 minutes. "I should have told him we had food!", I told myself. As he walked in the backdoor BJ and Nick came out of theirs. I slipped my sandals on and grabbed my bag and Chris and went out the door.

"Hey Sar, Chris", BJ yelled.

"Hey to you too", I yelled back.

"We brought food to snack on so we can stay out there all day", Nick said excitedly.

"Good 'cause he will be hungry in 'bout two hours", I said pointing to Chris.

"I will not. In about 2 and a half hours", Chris said laughing.

"Ok, can we just get going", BJ asked.

"Not without me", Aaron said while catching up with us, "Hey Sarah, Chris!"

"Hey little man", Nick and I chimed at the same time. We looked at each other and started laughing.

"Can we go now", Chris and BJ said together making fun of me and Nick.

As Nick helped me on the boat I gave them a dirty look and managed to give Nick a sweet look right after it. He gave one right back. His smile is so cute and his beautiful baby blue eyes, you would have to be ignorant not to want to look in his eyes all day long.

When we all got on the boat Nick started it and backed out and away from the dock. Chris and BJ made sure I got in the seat beside Nick. It was so obvious that they were playing match-makers. They both knew they had to work fast because Nick was leaving to go on tour in a month or so. Nick finally broke the silence between us, "Sarah, what do you do for fun? Or what did you do for fun in West Virginia?"

"Well 'bout the same as I have been doing here! Boating, playin' tennis, basketball, video games, going to the mall, just hang out with friends."

"Oh�so you haven't done anything different down here yet?"

"Well�we didn't have an ocean in my backyard or anywhere near so this is different! And I didn't live next door to anyone famous either!"

"Yeah, that is different!"

In the time we had talked we had made it out of the bay and into the ocean. It was beautiful. You could see right through the water. And the farther we got out we could see some dolphins, and manatees. I was in pure heaven. When we got about a mile or so out and down near a beach Nick killed the engine and we all started taking off our T-shirts and for me and BJ our shorts. After I took my shirt and shorts off I started folding them up. When I looked up Nick was standing on the opposite end of the boat staring at me and Aaron was trying to get his attention but was unable until Nick noticed that I knew he was staring. "Whatcha want little man", Nick asked Aaron. He talked to Aaron on his level too. He was so sweet.

"Can we get in the water now", Aaron asked.

"Sure, whatever you wanna do we'll do it", Nick assured him.

With that Aaron jumped off the side. It got kind of quiet after that, I kind of sensed some thing was about to happen. And it did while I was finishing putting tanning lotion on Nick picked me up and threw me over. As I came up I heard everyone laughing. "Hahaha�funny!", I proclaimed.

Chris looked at Nick and said, "You never should have thrown her over!"

"Why? She won't do anything to me!", Nick said unsure of what I was able to do.

I got out of the water and proceeded to attack Nick. His face was so cute, he was laughing and saying, "Come on it was harmless fun!"

"Well it just got harmful!"

"Sarah, I will never do it again!"

"Nick, you have done it once already and pay back is coming!" I got him in the front of the boat and he was kind of scared. I grabbed his hand and made him stand on the side of the boat, I got up in the seat. "Are you ready?", I asked.

"Yeah but are you?", he replied.

"Get ready! One, Two, Three!" When I went to push him he grabbed my hand so he pulled me over too. When we came up we were still holding hands. Nobody saw because they were in the back of the boat.

"I wish that we could be like this out of the water too", Nick implied.

"Play your cards right and who knows", I said flirting.

"How am I playing so far?"

"You are winning!"

"Good!"

We swam around to the back. In the midst of our conversation at the front we hadn't noticed Chris and BJ had jumped in the water on the other side. So when we got to the back we were pretty much alone. The back had a ladder that lead to a perch still in the water. I climbed up and sat on the perch. Nick did the same. We sat there kicking in the water and talking for about five minutes.

"This is really fun!", I told him.

"I know, it is usually fun but this is great!"

"Of all people to bring us here I'm glad it was you and BJ!"

"Thanks, I mean I'm glad you liked coming out here with me�and BJ of course", he said shyly.

"I do like coming out here with you!"

"What about BJ?"

"Her too, but you are someone that is successful at what you do. You are just more interesting than her. I do what she does, so it is kind of everyday!"

"I find you interesting too. You are from some different place, that I have only passed through. So that is why I am interested in you. And you are into some of the same things as me." After he got finished he put his hand on mine. And we stared in each others eyes until we got splashed by Aaron.

"Why don't you guys come around here?", Aaron asked.

"You want us around there? Then we will come around there!", Nick told him. Nick got up and pulled me up with him. We got in the boat and climbed on the side and jumped in. "You wanted us you got us!", Nick said in a funny voice.

"What were you two doing back there?", Chris said implying something happened.

"Talking!", we both replied.

"Oh�Mk�yeah!?", Chris said trying to be funny.

"I got an idea�", Nick chimed.

"That's a first!", I sarcastically.

"Hahaha�Let's chicken fight! Aaron can get on the boat and referee."

"That's a cool idea!", BJ added, "Sarah can get on Nick's shoulders and I'll get on Chris's!"

"Sounds cool, I guess!", I said while Nick came over beside me.

"We have to win!", he said, "It is a must! If we don't win I will drown you!"

"Golly are we a person that has to win!?"

"Only win it is against my sister!"

"Oh, I see!"

With our little pep talk out of the way Nick swam under me and picked me up. "Gosh how much you weigh?", he asked.

"Umm�excuse me! Are you implying that I am fat?"

"No�I was joking!"

"I know but I love to see you sweat!"

"You are so nice to me!"

"I try!"

"Yeah�too hard!"

"Funny!"

"Are you two ready over there?", BJ yelled.

"Yeah we're ready to win!", Nick answered.

"Well that ain't gonna happen!", Chris mocked him.

"We'll see!", I said with an urge to fight.

"Get ready! Get set! Go!", Aaron said starting the fight.

"BJ, quit movin' so much!", Chris screamed.

"I can't she is strong!", she screamed back.

"You got that right!", I said laughing.

"Just knock her off!", Nick yelled.

As so as he said that they fell over. Nick and I won! "Good job Sar!", Nick said congratulating me.

"Thank you, thank you! No autographs please!", I said while Nick let me down.

"You did great!", he said while wrapping his arms around my waist from behind.

I placed my hands on his and told him, "I wouldn't have been able to have done it with out you, you were the strong base I needed."

"Yeah, I guess I did help a little!"

"Gosh BJ, you need to lift weights or something!", Chris said in disappointment.

"Me�you kept moving around!"

"Ok you two knock it off!", Nick said with his arms still around me.

"Awe�look at them, they are so cute together!", BJ said in a sweet voice.

"Shut-up BJ!", Nick said still holding on to me.

"You don't have to make a big deal out of it!", I said splashing water at her and Chris. I really didn't need to splash because at the same time Aaron jump off the boat and right in the middle of us four.
