"Alright" I said and they grinned at before going back to collecting their stuff. I looked to see a grinning Lily and added "I’m not wearing a swim suit. I’m just going to watch over the kids"
Lily shrugged "I’ll take what I can get for now" she winked at "See you there"
I sighed and turned towards the kids and took the stuff they forgot, like sunscreen. I carried the bag for the kids and they followed to the back of the house and spotted the lake not very far from it. It was huge and people were already swimming and laughing as so made barbecue and the sll was mouth-watering.
The kids imdiately took of their clothes they wore over their bathing suits and jumped in the water. I sighed and then turned as i heard my na being called. I looked and saw Jim calling and gesturing to the seat beside him and the others on their picnic table. I sighed seeing Adrian right next to the seat I was about to sit in.
I kept looking over at where the kids where, scared one of them would get in trouble "Calm down Nate, There are adults all around them and they’re excellent swimrs" Lily said and I forced my eyes to tear away from the kids.
I looked at Lily and smiled at how gorgeous she looked just in a simple white sumr dress, Ethan apparently agreed with , with the way he was looking at her, like she was the only girl in the world.
I heard a scream looked to see one of the people Lily introduced to, Alan I think, carry his girlfriend Whitney and jump with her in his arms in the lake.
"Pfft, amateurs" I heard Dave say and turned to him "Wanna show them how to really do a cannonball" he looked towards his brother and his brother grinned and nodded. They both jumped up from their seats and sprinted towards the lake, taking their shirts off on the way.
I gasped as Dave stopped just a few feet away from the pool and knelt on the floor while Jim ran from behind him and jumped off his back towards the lake, he pulled his knees to his chest and fell in the lake making water splash around on almost everyone close to the lake.
Lily stood up and clapped "Ten points" she announced and then turned to Ethan "I’m going to go swim a bit, wanna co with?"
"Nah, you go ahead" he said and pulled her to him for a kiss before letting her go. Lily smiled and turned around, pulling her dress over her head to reveal her bikini. I gasped as I saw several long scars across her back, whatever caused these was sure to have hurt a lot.
My eyes t Ethan’s as I noticed him looking at with narrowed eyes. All traces of the nice, funny, loving guy were gone and instead his eyes were hard and challenging and filled with protectiveness, as if he was daring to say sothing about Lily’s scars, with fearful consequences if I did. I heard a growl and looked at Adrian just to see him glaring at Ethan. The two kept staring at each other as if they were communicating silently before Adrian sighed and turned to .
"Sorry about that, he’s just protective of Lily. He hates anyone ntioning her scars in fear they’d bring back bad mories" I nodded trying not to think that it was the first ti Adrian talked to since the kiss. He knew I was avoiding him, it was obvious.
"Food is ready" Jacob yelled as everyone started swarming around the grill to get their food and I was surprised and what most put in their plates. The plates were literally stacked with burgers and steaks, and not just the guys but the girls as well even though they were all thin.
I saw Adrian walk over to with a plate in hand "Here" he said "so you don’t have to wait to get so food" he gave a plate that’s also filled completely
"I can’t eat all of that" I said, I was fat enough as it is I did not need more food. He frowned and looked at the plate again
"It’s not much, look just eat what you can okay?"
I sighed and nodded and he put the plate in front of . He looked like he was about to say sothing before I saw the kids running towards us. They started telling of everything they did while swimming and Adrian sighed before he left.
I ended up eating about two pieces as I watched everyone having fun conversations, occasionally adding a few comnts of my own. They didn’t keep out of the conversation, which was new to . Everyone kept asking my opinion and joking with , sothing that never happened back ho.
"Can we swim now, Nate?" Claire asked with the adorable pout she’d been giving ever since she finished eating. I looked at my watch and saw it has been an hour since she ate.
"Yes you can go swim now Claire" I said and she squealed and went to Charles and Lucy to tell them before they all jumped in the lake.
"Can I have your attention" I heard Ethan’s voice say. He was standing near the table we were all sitting on. "I have an announcent to make"
Everyone surprisingly listened and stopped talking, focusing on him. Ethan grabbed Lily by the waist and pulled her to him and placed a kiss placing a kiss on her temple.
"Since we’re all gathered here, we thought its the perfect ti to tell you sothing." He said and then bead at everyone "Lily, my amazing fiance" He placed a hand on Lily’s stomach "Is pregnant"
