A few days later, Taylor, Angela, and Amy were invited to the Florida Keys for the day. Taylor put on her Roxy boardshorts, grabbed a towel, and made her way downstairs. Brian, Kevin, Amy, Angela, and Taylor loaded into the Jeep and drove down to the docks.
Nick was already there setting up the boat. They stepped aboard and sat down. Nick started up the boat and away they went. It only took 20 minutes to reach the little island. They unloaded the picnic basket and radio and set up the towels on the beach. Brian turned on the radio and everyone sat down to eat. "Angel" began to play and Nick stood up. He walked over and bowed in front of Taylor. "May I have this dance?" he asked.
She smiled and replied, "Yes, you may." They held each other close and began to sway to the music. Brian and Kevin followed Nick's lead. As the song faded, they slowly came to a stop. Still standing with her arms around his neck, Taylor tilted her head up slightly and whispered thank you into Nick's ear and pulled away reluctantly.
"Get Down" blared through the radio speakers. Nick flashes a devilish grin and yanks Taylor away from the rest of the group through the palm trees. Brian, Angela, Amy, and Kevin boarded the boat again. Brian said, "Hey, I'm gonna get on the innertube. Who's driving?"
"I'll do it!" Angela exclaimed grinning.
"Umm... Are you sure you want to do that Brian?" Amy warned.
"Yeah, I trust her," he replied as Angela tried to choke back her laughter.
Angela sat behind the wheel and started the engine. "Uh one question. How do you work this thing?" she asked as she floored the throttle. Even over the roar of the engine, they heard Brian scream at the top of his lungs. He bounced across the wake as Angela circled around the small island.
"Hey look over there," said Kevin pointing toward shore. Nick had taken Taylor to the most beautiful spot on the island. The sand was as smooth as silk under her feet.
"Wow! The view is amazing from here," she said looking out over the ocean.
"Yeah. This is my favorite spot," Nick replied. He glanced down at her. The sun glistened off Taylor's hair. He took her hand and leaned toward her. Just then, both heard a horrible shriek as Brian let go of the rope tow and came hurtling into shore. The innertube glided onto the sand and Brian rolled of just a few feet from Nick. Taylor looked back at the boat to see Angela, Amy, and Kevin hanging over the sides laughing hysterically.
Brian, realizing what he had interrupted said, "Oh sorry. Man, that was the wildest ride of my life! Ok. Bye." He grabbed the innertube and walked back through the trees.
Taylor stared at her feet then back up into Nick's eyes, "We'd better go back." She kissed him lightly on the cheek and walked toward where the boat had anchored. Nick took a moment to himself, sighed, and walked to the boat.
