My head still hurt when I woke up the next morning. I knew eating that catfish was not a good idea, but did I follow my gut? Nooooooo! I had to go and eat it. Oh well. At least I didn't think about Aaron. Too late! He is just there in my thoughts. Why can't I get him out? I mean he is just a guy, now granted he is hot and really cute. He is the brother of my cousin's friend. I can't do that to Nick or Brian. I mean I love Brian like a brother, I can't hurt him. It would just be wrong and inmoral, but he is so cute! What the hell is a girl to do? Take a shower.
I got out of the shower an hour later not really meaning to take so long and got dressed. I was not in the least bit hungry. I went to the livingroom and saw Brian. I made my way to the couch and sat down. I was still tired. I hadn't done much the day before. I think the time difference was getting to me. I looked at him and smiled.

"So what are you and Lola gonna do today?" He asked.
"See what Florida has to offer. Maybe see a movie. Not to sure yet. I wanna see about getting a job soon. I mean I want to get a job and start to save some money." I explained.
"Well you can use the truck if you want. Just don't be out late. I don't my baby cousin getting in trouble." Brian pointed out.
"Yes daddy! Your sounding more and more like Kev everyday!" I laughed.
"Oh no! DOes that mean my eyebrows will be like his?" He asked in mock terror.
"Yep and you'll grow your hair super long. Now I am gonna go see if Lola is up. If not I think I may just go for a drive." I said as I kissed his cheek.

I went to check on Lola. Still asleep. I laughed as I went to my room and grabbed my phone and my bag. I informed Bri that I would have my cell and gave him the number. Then I left. I went to the beach and walked around a bit. I had always loved the ocean. It had this calming quality to it. Tranquil even. I sat down on the sand near the water and looked out. I had no idea someone came up behind me. I was lost in the sounds of the waves hitting rocks and the sounds of birds to really care at that moment.

*~*~*Aaron's pov*~*~*

I had chosen to go to the beach the next day. I just wanted to get Emily off my mind. Everything about her was stuck in my head. I had no idea why. She was a girl. A girl who I was not allowed to even atempt to date. Where does Nick get off telling me who I can and can not date. He is not my mom or dad. Come to think of it, if Nick was mom I think I would have run away! I got to the beach and began to walk towards the water. I saw a girl sitting on the sand and I smiled. I looked around and saw no eles was there. It was still early. I walked up to her and spoke to her.

"Hey I've never seen you around here before." I said, causing her to jump abut a mile high and land on her feet.
"What the hell is your......." She began as she turned to face. We both sttod there not able to speak.
"Emily......hi." Was all I could say. I didn't know what else I could say.
"uh........Hi Aaron. I think I should go." She mummbled.
"no, it's ok. I mean this beach is big. We can share the sand. I mean I don't own it." I laughed. She smiled at me and sat down.
"So your the little terror my cousin wrote about?" She asked.
"Me? Naw never! I was always good. I think you got me mixed up with Nick. Nick was and still is a terror. He loves to prank the guys." I laughed.
"Not what Kevin said. You were opening for them. I think it was your first tour and you put shaving cream in their shoes and ran like hell to hide from Nick. I take it he was mad?" She asked.
"Just a little. I was like 9 or 10. I had to prank my brother. He did it to me. I in turn did it to him." I laughed, she smiled at me and tucked her hair behind her ear. "You have a nice smile." I commented.
"Thanks I think." She said off hand.
"So.....what brought you to Orlando?" I wondered.
"Well a plane. That and Bri kept on begging me to come visit. And I gave in. Only now I am gonna move out here after I get a place of my own." She told me.
"Well Tampa is nice, so is Marathon. My brother lives in Marathon. I am in Tampa. Kevin and the others are in the middle." I said.
"Cool. I was going to drive around a bit and get a feel for Orlando. I may do that later. I am not too sure yet." She said while looking at the ocean.
"So you got any siblings?" I asked, wanting to know more about her.
"Nope. The closet I got is Brian. He is more like a brother then a cousin. Whereas Kevin...." She began.
"Is more father like?" I finished. We started to laugh. She had such a pretty smile and laugh. This was gonna be hard not to ask her out.
"What about you? I mean aside from Nick you got anyother siblings?" She asked.

~*~*~Emily's pov~*~*~

"Yeah I got a twin sister Angel, two older sisters Leslie and BJ. As well as a half sister Ginger. We got a big family!" He laughed.
"Sounds like it. I wish I had that. I mean I am glad I have Bri and Kev. They are so sweet. It is just harder when your an only child." I sighed.
"Ok screw what Nick said. You wanna go see a movie with me tonight?" He questioned. I sat there wide eyed and shocked.
"What about Bri and Nick?" I asked.
"They can come if you want, but it would be kinda awakward don't yah think?" He joked.
"I don't wanna do anything that could screw up their friendship. I mean I love Brian a lot and I don't wanna hurt him in anyway." I explained.
"Do they have to know?" He asked.
"Well....I guess not. I just hate lying to people. If I lie to Brian it will hurt him." I said.
"So just tell him you have a date and your gonna meet him at the movies. Please?" He asked once more, this time he gave my puppy dog eyes. I couldn't stand those.
"OK!" I said as I gave him. Aaron hugged me then he kissed me.
