beach please

Being ignored wasn't fun.

At all.

Later that night, the family came home from dinner and everyone headed to their rooms to get some sleep so we could have an eventful day tomorrow.

I assumed Melo went to shower after our little pool fiasco. He didn't seem like he wanted to to talk to me afterwords either.

He had no reason to be mad though..

The room that we fought over was empty and my luggage was placed at the side of the bed.

Although it was kind of him to give up the room, he was still acting petty for ignoring me.

That's when I decided to be the bigger person and search for what room Melo was in.

I knocked on each door to say goodnight to everyone and the last one I ended up knocking on was the one right next to mine.

Taking a deep breath, I look down the the dark hall then back at the door that was in front of me.

Finally, I lightly knock on the door.

Not even seconds after, the door flew open and there stood a shirtless Melo.

This nigga never had a shirt on.

"Uh, hi." I greeted him.

He continued to stand there in silence.

"Can I come in?" I asked politely.

He moved out if the way and made room for me to step in.

I could tell he had just finished taking shower. There was fog coming from the bathroom.

Wait this bedroom had a bathroom too?

Then what the hell was we fighting for?

Anyways.

Melo went over to the bed and plopped down and went on his phone.

At one point he looked up from his phone and saw me still standing there and asked, "Can I help you with something?"

I know this nigga did not-

"Why you acting like I did you wrong or sum?" I was getting a little angry.

"Because you did."

I scoff, "What sense does it make for you to throw me in the pool and for me not to do the same? You can't even be mad."

"I don't gotta explain myself. Just get outta my room." He shoos me off.

The next thing I did was a little unexpected.

I snatched Melo's phone from out of his hands and threw it on the bed.

"Ay, what you doin.."

I placed myself on either side of him so that I was straddling him. That shut him up real quick.

In a swift movement, I pushed him back so that he was laying down.

I drew my face closer to his, my hand on his chest. I could feel his heart beating faster and faster.

Slowly, I pressed my lips on the side of his cheek, inches away from his mouth.

I pulled away.

"I'm sorry. Are you happy now?"

He nodded his head vigorously and his hands made their way to my waist.

His hand placement made my heart beat a little quicker too.

"You're such a baby." I teased. I knew he felt some time of way because I pushed him in the pool. But I just realized that he was being dramatic and that was just Melo being Melo.

"Man whatever." He kissed his teeth.

I move from off of him and made my way to the door.

"Wait where you going?" Melo looked at me holding hisself.

He thought I was gone stay?

"Uh, to bed. I'm tired and we got stuff planned for tomorrow. You should probably get back in shower, turn it cold." I suggested pointing down and trying not to laugh.

"Can you stay with me. Please?"

"Not tonight, Melo." I really wanted too, but I just know I shouldn't. If I stayed I had a feeling we would end up doing a little bit more than just sleeping..

I knew what was best for me and for Melo.

"Come on Maya!" He begged.

"Goodnight." I replied, and with that I was out the door.

I probably shouldn't have done that.

I was talking about how Gelo, Lavar, and Kyle might get the wrong idea about Melo and I, but now even Maya Kuzma herself has the wrong idea.

Yolo right?

Today we were heading to the beach for some fun in the sun.

Lemme rephrase that. Lavar was forcing us to go to the beach.

Around this time, everyone should've been up but I hadn't been out of my room yet.

Today's outfit was a oversized t-shirt and some shorts. I had a pink and flower bikini on under.

As I finished getting ready, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Jaden busted in my room in a panic.

"Hey Maya, do you have any tampons?"

"Yup, their in the front pouch if my suit case." I reply.

"Wow you're a lifesaver, dude."

"I know." I flip my curly hair out of my face and we both laugh.

"You look so cute today, Maya. Melo's gonna have a heart attack when he see's you." She says peeking at my 2 piece.

"Who said I was trynna impress him?" I gave her a sassy look.

She just laughs, "I know yaw both like each other, just date already."

And with that she walks out the door.

Not the advice I was looking for but.. okay.

I knew there was something going on between Melo and I but I hadn't had time to think about it.

Who was I kidding. I stayed up all night thinking about him.

I grabbed my Nike backpack and made my way downstairs.

We were going to walk to the beach seeing as it was less than a mile away from the house.

The whole gang was by door ready to leave. Cute little Zoey was in Tina's arms.

"Lil Kuzma! You ready for the Jet Ski's?"

"Wait there's gonna be Jet Ski's? Hell yeah!" Now I was really excited.

We were on our way out the house and to the beach.

Melo caught up to me, "Why I ain't get a good-morning kiss?" I looked at him like he was crazy. I guess I opened a door last night.

He puckered up his lips and I put my hand up to his face.

"No Melo."

Today was gonna be a good day.

"Yaw can either get on the boat or on the jet ski's."

"I want a jet ski." I was quick to say.

"Me too dad." Melo was close behind me.

The beach was beautiful, the wind was light and the sun was blazing down on us as we got told the instructions about the jet skis.

We got told the basics, right from wrong which I knew but Melo on the other hand was a different story.

I took off my t-shirt and shorts, planning to leave them on the boat.

I noticed Tina and Zoey looking out at the water at the front of the boat. I just had to see cute Zoey before I left to get on the jet skis.

Denise gave me a glare as I tickled baby Zoey in Tina's hands.

"Oh hell no, put them shorts back on." I heard Kyle say from behind me but I ran off the boat before he could say something else.

Trying to get away as fast as I could, I bumped into to someone.

Melo caught me. I held his arms for support. His muscles were bulging and I couldn't help but take a look.

"Damn, slow down, Maya." He laughs but as soon as he sees what I'm wearing he goes mute.

"Oh my bad." I apologize.

He took a second.

"You look so damn fine, shawty." He whispered into my ear. His voice sent shivers down my spine.

"Oh, thanks."

He licked his lips.

"I oughta take you back to house right now and.." I cut him off.

"Nope that's okay, jet ski's are waiting. Let's go." I change the subject.

Gelo and Zo also got two jet skis.

"Let's go far out." I yelled over the loud waters and we they all agree.

We started going and it felt as if I was in so much control. It was fun as hell. As the water whipped at my face, I felt so alive.

Melo got closer to me and the turned his jet ski to splash me.

"Rude!" I shouted.

He then circled back around and said, "Looky here, I made you wet." He smirked.

Dinner time came around and we went out to eat at a island restaurant. I was seated next to my brother, and on the other side of me was, you guessed it. Melo.

It was almost normal for us to sit next to each other. Tina sat next to Lavar, Denise sat next to a painful looking Zo, Jaden sat next to Gelo, Kyle sat next to Dmo. They all had someone to talk to.

I could always talk to Melo.

"Kyle I feel like we haven't been talking this whole trip, what's up my brother." I nudged his shoulder.

"Nothing. This trip has been a great getaway though. I'm glad we came." I nod and I lay my head on his shoulder.

I miss times like these but we all have to grow up. This makes me cherish the moments we have with each other and enjoy everything.

Behind us, I hear a purr. A grey cat comes into view and he looked to be hungry.

Gelo and Melo look it's way.

"Tom must be hungry." Melo says, and I chuckled.

"Give em some chicken." Gelo offers. I pass Melo the chicken of my plate since he was closest to the cat.

The cat sniffs the chicken and the looks back up at us.

"Maybe he wants a rib?" Melo suggest.

Gelo hands Melo a piece of his rib.

"Eat da rib." He tosses the rib at the cat. The cat obviously didn't want it.

"Ay, I thought yaw was allergic to cats." Kyle rein-forms them.

Gelo shook his head, "I got rid of my allergics."

I laugh to myself. As soon as he said that, he sneezed.

A couple of minutes later, Melo sneezed himself.

"Bless, you."

"Thanks, shawty."
