MyKenna Jackson and her friend, Dakota Jacobson, were sitting at the beach in Tampa, Florida; and a very beautiful day. The temperature was in the early 90�s and both girls were taking in the sun, while watching all the shirtless guys walking by them. MyKenna left out a sigh and Dakota looked at her.
�What�s wrong?� Dakota asked. �Ain�t you enjoying your birthday?�
�Yeah,� MyKenna replied smiling. �I love watching shirtless guys.� They laughed. �It�d be better though if those two yummy Carter brothers were here.�
�Definitely, but of course I�d get Nick and you�d get that little scrawny thing called Aaron.�
�You�re funny. At least he ain�t fat.� Dakota glared at MyKenna.
�Do you want to die?�
�No.�
�Are ya sure?�
�Yeah.�
�Nick ain�t fat. He�s just got more to love.�
�I�m just teasing, because I know how you get.�
�You better be.�
�I am. I love him.�
�I�m sure you do, but he�s mine.�
�Yeah, yeah.�
�You can have Aaron.�
�Good, because I wasn�t going to give him to ya anyway.�
�Well I don�t want him. He�s too young for me. His brother will do just fine.�
�I�m sure he will.� They laughed and looked around for a few minutes.
�Today�s a hot day.�
�And it just got a hell of a lot hotter.�
�Huh? Why?�
�Because the two cutest brothers in the universe just showed up.�
�Huh? Where?�
�Walking our way.� Dakota looked.
�Holy shit! That�s my Nicky!�
�Yeah, but don�t make it obvious.�
�Why not?�
�Because you�re going to look like an idiot.�
�Whatever.� The two girls watched, as the guys walked over and found a spot right beside them. Both girls held in their excitement, as the guys sat down. MyKenna and Dakota looked at each other and smiled. They looked back at the guys and noticed they were looked at them.
�Hi,� the shortest blonde said. �I�m Aaron.�
�Hi,� the girls said and MyKenna added, �I�m MyKenna.�
�Nice to meet you,� Aaron said smiling. �This is my loser ass brother, Nickolas.�
�Yo, Aaron, shut up,� Nickolas said, as Dakota looked at him.
�This is Dakota,� MyKenna said hitting her.
�What?� Dakota asked and MyKenna just looked at her. �Sorry.� MyKenna rolled her eyes. �Hi.�
�Hi,� Nickolas said.
�It�s Kenna�s birthday today,� Dakota blurted out and MyKenna slapped her. Dakota just smiled. �She�s 16.�
�She�s a hottie,� Aaron said and MyKenna just smiled.
�Aaron,� Nickolas said. �You just met the girl.�
�So,� Aaron said and Nickolas rolled his eyes at his brother. �Doesn�t stop you.�
�Whatever,� Nickolas said and the two girls laughed at their bickering. �Why�d we come here? I have the beach in my backyard.�
�Yeah, but there�s girls here,� Aaron pointed out looking at MyKenna and Dakota. �Very hot girls.�
�And very hot boys,� Dakota added and MyKenna shook her head.
�Whatever,� Nickolas said lying back on the beach towel and closing his eyes. Dakota looked at Nickolas then at MyKenna, who was eyeing Aaron, as he put on suntan lotion. Dakota shook her head and looked back at Nickolas.

A few hours later, MyKenna and Dakota were still sitting on the beach and watching Aaron and Nickolas by the water. The two guys were signing some autographs for a couple 10 year olds and taking pictures. Aaron looked up at the two girls and smiled at MyKenna. She smiled in return and looked at Dakota, who was watching Nickolas. Dakota left out a sigh and smiled.
�No one can tell you want him,� MyKenna said.
�Like you don�t want Aaron,� Dakota said and MyKenna just smiled. �I think Aaron wants ya. I�ve been seeing the way he�s been looking at you since they sat down.�
�I only wish he wants me.�
�He does so trust me.�
�Whatever.�
�You�ll find out.�
�If Aaron wants me then Nick wants you.�
�I only wish.� They laughed. �Why would a guy like him want a girl like me?�
�Because you�re nice.�
�He doesn�t know that.�
�Sure he does. Why would a guy like Aaron want a girl like me?�
�Because you�re nice also.�
�Whatever.� They looked back at the guys. �Damn he�s hot.�
�Who?�
�Aaron.�
�That�s what I thought.�
�Nick�s hot too.�
�Nick�s sexy.�
�Yeah.�
�I�d like to have those arms around me.� Laura nodded. �At least Nick has something to his body. Look at Aaron; he�s a skinny little thing.�
�He�s still hot.�
�For a 14 year old.�
�He�s mine so back off bitch.�
�Yeah, yeah.� They continued watching the guys, as they walked back over to their spot on the beach. �I�m going to get some ice cream. Want any, Ken?�
�Sure,� MyKenna said.
�What do ya want?�
�A chocolate cone.�
�Alrighty then.� Dakota got up and started walking away.
�Hey, DJ, wait up,� Nickolas said getting up and joining her. �I�ll go with ya.�
�I don�t need a babysitter, ok?�
�I�m going to get some myself.� Dakota nodded.
�Hey, Kota,� MyKenna said and Dakota turned around.
�Huh?� Dakota asked.
�I want my ice cream before it�s melted.� MyKenna started laughing and Dakota glared at her. �I mean it to.�
�Yeah, yeah.�
�Hey, Nick,� Aaron said. �Get me some too while you�re at it.�
�Whatever,� Nickolas said, as him and Dakota walked away.
�Is that all he says?� MyKenna asked Aaron, as he looked at her.
�He hardly says anything when he sees a girl he likes,� Aaron replied.
�So he likes DJ then?�
�I guess so. He didn�t say anything, but I�ve been seeing the way he�s been looking at her.�
�Yeah.� Aaron smiled. �What?�
�Nothing.� MyKenna nodded and looked away. �You got beautiful eyes.� She looked at him again. �I mean it.�
�Thanks. You got nice eyes too.� They smiled.
�So are you doing anything tonight?�
�Why?�
�Well Nick and I were going to go out to eat after leaving here and shower and I was wondering if you would be interested in joining us.� MyKenna smiled. �DJ can come with if you�d feel more comfortable.�
�That�d be nice.�
�Really?�
�Yeah. What time?�
�I don�t know really. Whenever we leave here I guess.�
�Alright, count me in.�
�Good, but what about DJ?�
�She�ll come along too.�
�Ok.�
�Ok.� They smiled and looked back at Dakota and Nickolas at the ice cream vendor.
�They look cute together.�
�Yeah they do actually.�
�That�s cool.� Aaron nodded and they looked at each other again. Aaron moved closer to her and she did the same.
They looked at each other and someone yelled, �Aaron!� Aaron and MyKenna looked and someone snapped and picture and ran.
�That was nice,� MyKenna said sarcastically.
�Yeah it was,� Aaron said. �Did you see who it was? I�m going to go after them.�
�No I didn�t.�
�Damn it.� They laughed. �I�ll get them next time.�
�Sure ya will.�
�So where ya from?�
�England. And you?�
�All over.� He laughed. �Just kidding, but that�s what it feels like.�
�I understand.�
�I�m originally from Ruskin.�
�Yeah.�
�Yep. This is a rare time for me and Nick; we both actually have time off at the same time. That never usually happens. We just usually try to catch each other in each place we go so we can spend some time together.� MyKenna nodded. �We�re both so busy.�
�But you�re doing something you both love.�
�Yeah.�
�That�s the good thing about it.�
�Definitely, but it�s hard to have a steady relationship, because we�re constantly on the road.�
�You�re only what? 14? You shouldn�t even be thinking about a steady relationship.�
�Why not?�
�Because you got your whole life ahead of you.�
�Nick said the same thing.�
�I�m glad.�
�I�m sure you are.� They smiled. �I want Nick to get married though.�
�Why?�
�Because I want to be an uncle.�
�Right.� MyKenna shook her head. �You actually think he�s ready?�
�I doubt it, but it�s alright to dream.� MyKenna nodded. �I�d like to be a daddy someday.�
�You�re 14.�
�I said �someday� not �today.� One of the many dreams I have. Don�t you want to have kids?�
�Yeah, but I�m 16 and not in a hurry right now to have a family.�
�Oh.�
�Can we talk about something else?�
�Sure.� They looked at each other then heard a bunch of people screaming behind them. They looked and saw a bunch of screaming girls attacking Nickolas. What is it that my brother has that I don�t?�
�Experience?� MyKenna smiled looking at Aaron, as he shook his head.
