Saving Him • editing/rewriting

ten-to get to know you

+++

Tom had texted me that night if I wanted to go to the beach with them the next day so I told him that I was free and would be joining them. For the time being, I decided to act as normal as I could with Hunter and ignore the butterflies in my stomach whenever I saw him.

So on Sunday morning, I had put on my new triangle bikini, shorts and a singlet. I packed my sunscreen, my hat and some snacks. I felt self conscious because wearing my swimsuit meant my scars would show. But when I told my group that last night when we were skyping, they all told me not to worry and not be ashamed of them. So I decided to trust them and go with them in this one.

I slipped my feet into my sandals and made my way out the door where I saw Lauren's Jeep. She was the only one who knew how and was confident enough to drive so she offered. Well, she had no choice really.

Tom gave me a cheery smile as I opened the door and sat at the back with him, "Morning Katie, you're looking good." He said wiggling his eyebrows at me.

I laughed, "Shut up, pervert. Now squeeze over." I told him. Tom was in the middle and Hunter was on the other window side. Lola was in the front seat next to Lauren because she gets easily car sick.

We were only 5 minutes into the drive when Tom nudged me, "Wanna swap spots? I know you wanna!" He said a little too loudly for my liking although Hunter was just staring out the window, his eyes covered by his shades.

I slapped Tom's arm, "I swear to god I will never speak to you again if you utter another word about it." I warn. He just snickers and reaches over to the front to put music on. Lauren shouts at him to sit back in his seat before we crash. Let's just say the car ride was no better than hell.

Once we finally parked on the street just near the beach, I opened the door and practically crawled out of there as fast as I could. Tom was great but sometimes he needed a good hit in the face with a baseball bat. He entertained himself by making obvious remarks about me and Hunter. I had to get a handful of marshmallows and shove it in his mouth to finally shut him up. Thank god he was always like this or Hunter would've guessed what was happening already.

We made our way down to the beach and found a nice spot where there was shade and sun for those who wanted to suntan, which was Lauren who thought she was too pale. The rest of us slapped sunscreen on and decided to go for a swim.

I peels off my shorts and took my shirt off then shoved them into my bag. When I looked back, I found Hunter and Tom staring at me. I covered my scars on my thighs by impulse.

"I think I should put my shorts back on..." I said as I scramled to get them out again.

Hunter bent down and stopped my hands by grabbing hold of both of them, "No, please don't." He said. "You look beautiful and your scars shows just how strong you are."

"Yes, but what he means is that hot damn you've got a nice body." Tom wolf whistled earning a terrifying glare from Hunter. I found the whole situation funny and started laughing.

"Let's go for a swim before it gets too crowded." Tom said. I watched as him and Lola races each other to the water.

I glanced over at Hunter, "I'll race you?"

He smirked at me before taking off without warning. I called after him as I ran up to try and catch up to him. I laughed as the water splashes in my face and I jumped in after Hunter. I watched, with drool coming out of my mouth probably, as Hunter emerged from the water flicking his hair to the side and out his face as droplets of water formed on his abs. Holy god, I felt my ovaries exploding. I think I could get pregnant just by looking at him.

"Are you done checking me out?" He called to me, smirking.

I blushed, "Get over yourself, I wasn't!" I protested but he came toward me and picked me up bridal style.

"I'll throw you in if you use that tone with me, missy." He said in a low voice which quite frankly turned me on like hell. We then both realised how close our faces were to each other. We stared at each other silently for a moment as he gently traced my scars on my thigh until he leaned in and placed a kiss on my lips. It sent sparks flying all over my body and my stomach flipped upside down.

Hunter looked surprised at his own actions as he let go of me and dropped me onto my feet, "I-God I'm so sorry." He said scratching his neck awkwardly.

But I wasn't listening. All I could think in that moment was that Hunter kissed me.
