Today was the boys' last day before they would leave for Atlanta. One of Zion's friends, Macy, had came to visit a few days ago and so far, me and her had bonded pretty well.
Everyone was now in Nick and Brandon's room, lounging around not really doing anything. Literally everyone was on their phones.
"Can we actually do something fun?" I huffed, standing up.
"Like what?" Austin asked rolling over on his back. He was laid across Nick's bed.
"Let's go swimming!" I exclaimed, a smile taking over my face.
Everyone chimed in with their 'sure's and began heading out of the room to change into their swimsuits. I walked out of my room and literally ran into mine, I really liked swimming. I changed quickly and grabbed my towel from the bathroom.

I spritzed a little bit of perfume onto my neck before walking out of my room. Brandon was walking out of his bedroom around the same time I was. A pair of red and yellow checkered swim trunks adorned his lower half, not wearing anything on the top.
"Is everyone else already outside?" I asked, closing my door behind me. He nodded, closing his door. I felt sort of awkward being alone with him. I crossed my arms over my bare stomach, with my white towel under my arms as I began to walk down the stairs. Once we got downstairs, I walked direct outside to join everyone else. I could feel his eyes burning holes through me from behind. Zion and Austin were jumping into the pool as I got closer to where they were. I placed my towel on an empty pool chair and fixed my top.
As I went to turn around and get in, I was going over someone's shoulder, "AHH!" I screamed, gripping whoever was holding me.
"TIME TO SWIM LILY!" I knew the voice. Edwin freaking Honoret.
"IM GOIN-" I was submerged in water before I could finish my sentence. I kicked off from the bottom of the pool and kicked my legs trying to stay above the water. " Edwin, i'm going to kill you." I spat, wiping the water away from my eyes before opening them.
He was swimming in front of me. "Here get on my back," He said, his voice low. He turned around and I jumped on his back. "You're so short. You can't even touch the bottom."
I pinched his ear and he winced. "I know i'm short. There's no need to remind me." I tell him, wrapping my arms around his neck loosely. "Let me down." I told him and immediately his hands released my legs that were wrapped around his waist.
I couldn't help but look around the pool for Brandon. He was at the other end of the pool by my brother, talking to him. I was tempted to swim over to him, but instead I got out of the water, "Liliana, come jump with me." I turned around at the sound of my name and seen Zion.
"1, 2, 3!" we said in sync, landing in the water on three.
• Brandon's POV •
I watched as she jumped in the pool, Hand in Hand with Zion. I wasn't even worried about Zion. He had eyes for Macy. It was more of Edwin I was worried about. He gets all of the girls. I want her. I know she's my best friends little sister but she's just so perfect. I've never met anyone else like her.
"Brandon?" I blinked my eyes quickly and glanced over to Nick, "Did you hear me," he asked, making me shake my head. "I said do you want subway? There's one right down the road."
"Oh, yeah, sure." I said quickly. Probably a bit too quick. He stared at me for a second before swimming away. I pushed myself up out of the water and sat on the ledge, letting my feet stay in the water.
"AHH!"
my head shot up quick as I heard her voice scream. My heart was thumping loudly in my chest, but once I saw what was happening, anger took over my body.
She was on Edwin's shoulder as he walked around in the pool, "CHICKEN FIGHT!" yelled Nick as he climbed onto Austin's shoulders. I watched as they pushed and pulled each other around until Nick fell into the water with a girly scream.
"WE WON!" she exclaimed, smiling as she placed her hands on her thighs. I couldn't help but smile from the excitement radiating off of her. She told Edwin something and then fell into the water, popping back up moments later. She swam over to the side and pulled herself out of the water. "Brandon, oh Brandon." she said, wrapping her towel around her shoulders and sitting down beside me.
"Lily, oh Lily" I said, mimicking her. She pushed my shoulder and I couldn't help but notice the blush rise her in cheeks, "Oh, someone's blushing." I smirked, poking her side.
"Stop." She pouted, scooting away from me.
"No, come back." I sighed, giving her puppy dog eyes.
"You gotta catch me." She said standing up. She threw her towel onto an empty chair and dove back into the pool. Damnit Lily.
"You gonna come get me, Arreaga?" She said popping up from the middle of the pool.
I dove into the water and opened my eyes slightly to see where I was going. He bikini bottoms were slightly in front of me. I came up from the water and saw that she was standing against the pool wall. "I got you now, Mara." I whispered, placing my arms on either side of her.
This was your chance, Brandon. Do it now or you'll never do it. My eyes diverted their attention between her pink plump lips and her dazzling brown eyes. I could see her glance around me very quickly before she made her lips land on mine. Butterflies swarmed and an entire firework company exploded in the pit of my stomach.
"Damn, Mara." I whispered, my eyes still closed as my lips brushed hers when I spoke.
