The Last Laugh

Chapter 43

***

Ace's POV:

That night, the heat was almost unbearable. I went to meet Keith.

On entering, he wasn't in his living room.

"Keith?" I called. No one answered. He couldn't have gone out without letting me know or without

locking his door. I made my way towards the door of his room.

I turned the knob and opened it.

"Keith, are you in h– oh!" I exclaimed and stopped in my tracks. He was in bed with a girl. They both

looked at me.

"Sorry. I didn't know." I said.

"No prob, dude. This is Beth."

The girl under the sheets waved at me.

"Hi, Beth. I'm Ace." I then turned to Keith, "Meet me when you're done."

"Sure."

I left, closing the door behind me.

Some time later, Keith came into my apartment, all showered and fresh.

"Finished?" I teased.

"Yeah." he sat by me, "So, what's up?"

"Heat man. There's too much heat. Wanted us to go to the beach tomorrow."

"I'm fine with that but it depends on the beach. I don't wanna go where there are a lot of people."

"Me neither. There's 'Bay beach'. It's beautiful and people hardly go there."

"Perfect."

"I got some swimming to do. Thank gawd, it's the weekend."

"I'm telling ya."

Sawyer's POV:

The next day, we left home at about one PM. Heading for the beach with Heather and mom. I'd

apologised for my recent disrespect towards her but what did she expect? I didn't like the fact that she

appreciated Shirley's company more than mine.

We took the cooler and food basket along with us for the picnic.

We got into our mom's car and drove off.

Ace's POV:

When Keith and I had arrived Bay beach, we were happy to find a few people. About six or seven

people. We quickly changed into our swim shorts.

I lay on my towel on the hot sand, enjoying the breeze. Keith had gone for a swim.

While I lay on my stomach quietly, looking at the water, a cute girl in a hot bikini passed by, eying me. I

looked at her and smiled a little, she smiled too and tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear.

She sashayed her way towards the water and entered it for a swim.

I stood up and went to lean against a lifeguard chair that someone had made with bamboo and raffia

leaves I think. I watched her.

From the water she looked at me and smiled again. I smiled back. She was clearly flirting. She was

beautiful but I just admired her. Nothing more. My heart was already taken by Heather, who didn't know

it yet.

I silently watched the girl. She kept on touching her hair, her arms and thighs, making some sexy

moves in the water. I kept on watching. I was imagining her as Heather.

Sawyer's POV:

We reached the beach. We walked down towards the shore with our stuff in our hands. We were

already in our bikinis. Mom too. She was one of those hot, mature women with a superb body. That

was why both younger and older men wooed her. Plus, she had natural big breasts.

As we walked on the sand, we were happy to discover that on that large beach, there were about only

nine or ten people. Enough space. That was why we preferred Bay beach.

We spotted a good spot far away. We were about to go there when I noticed a guy leaning against an

old bamboo lifeguard chair. He was hot but backing us, he looked like Ace from behind?

"Is that Ace?" I asked and stopped in my tracks. So did mom and Heather.

"Where??" they both asked. I pointed.

"Does look like him. Call his name and let's see if he turns around." my mom proposed. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

I did just that.

"ACE?!" I called.

The guy turned around. Yes! It was Ace. He smiled at us from a distance and waved.

"Hi!" he said. Damn. His body.

Ace's POV:

I did not expect to meet the Welds. I was about to frown when I heard Sawyer's voice call me. But

when I turned and saw Heather with them, the person I was thinking of, I couldn't help it but smile.

I watched them walk up to me.

"Good morning." I smiled at them.

"Good morning." they replied.

I noticed they'd all been eying me from afar until when they were in front of me. I was glad Heather did

too, actually.

I stretched my hand out and shook Christina's hand, then Sawyer's and finally my princess's. When her

turn reached, I made sure to give her little caress on the top of her hand with my thumb. She blushed

and I smiled even more.

"Y'all are here for a picnic?" I asked, noticing the cooler and basket.

"Yes. Care to join us?" Christina asked.

"I would love too but I'm with a friend. He's swimming."

"Oh, but both of you can join us. When you're done swimming." Sawyer replied.

"Um, sure. With pleasure."

"Great. We're the other side."

"Okay."

They turned to leave.

Since Heather was last in line, I grabbed her hand without the others noticing as they walked on. She

looked at me.

"Love your bikini. You're hot." I whispered aloud. She blushed and smiled, pulling her hand out of my

grip.

"Thanks." she replied, walking away.

I couldn't help it but stare at that perfect behind. She had that nice and round ass. She wasn't flat like

Sawyer but had a bit of curves compared.

Damn, I wanted to grab her.

Heather's POV:

Seeing Ace in swim shorts had caused a strange reaction in me. He was so fit and well belt.

I blushed just by looking at him. And plus, with his flirting, he didn't help much.

As we walked away, I turned to look at him one last time and that was when I caught him staring at my

behind. When I caught him, he looked up at me and smiled, scratching his head nervously. I rolled my

eyes with a smile on my lips before facing front again, feeling my cheeks burn.

We soon settled on our spot. While Sawyer and mom took out the beach cloth and snacks from the

basket, I sat on the sand and looked at the water.
