So, I do not know, it's something very hot and tender at the same time, and besides, there are two whole open peyring. I don't know, I really miss River in beach clothes. I also wanted him and the other boys to be at Jeremy's party. That's what came out of it. I am happy with the result, and I hope you will like it.

___________________________________________________________________________

Mia looks at the drooping JD, upset - even though they were not best friends, they were still similar. The girl thoughtfully puts her finger to her lips, thinking.

They leave a friend alone while they retire to plan a party for him. Andrea worries the most - of course, she is the closest to JD, and literally everyone sees their mutual sympathy for each other.

- I really want to have a party, - Andrea exhales, thoughtfully looking at the sand, - but how to organize it at the level that JD is used to?

- No way, - Stephanie suddenly joins in the conversation, and explains her plan to them, - Do you understand?

The friends nod, and Emma suddenly offers her idea.

- And let's invite the boys? - the black-haired puts her palms to her cheeks, dreamily covering her eyes, - It will be so fun!

Olivia smiles skeptically, adjusting her glasses.

- Em, we all understand that you miss Ethan, but it's Jeremy's birthday.

The programmer wants to add something else, but the redhead suddenly interrupts her.

- That's a great idea!

Stephanie and Olivia look at each other with laughing smiles.

- Another one.

- No, really! - Mia tucks her bangs behind her ear, actively gesticulating, - With them, JD will be able to relax and chat the same way as with us. After all, they're boys!

Andrea, who had been silently listening to her friends all this time, suddenly nodded in agreement.

- That's a great idea!

Mia looks at Olivia with the look of a winner, and she rolls her eyes with a laugh.

- Okay, okay, I'll write to Julian.

- Great! - Emma jumps up, squealing happily, - I ran after Ethan! We'll be there by evening!

The girls look after her with smiles, and then they disperse, and Andrea notices her father hiding behind surfboards all the time, and rolls his eyes.

***

The girls take JD to the water park, blindfolding him, and Mia wonders if River has already come or not yet. Naturally, she wonders if Ethan and Julian have come. But Kenny is unlikely. He is paralyzed, and in fact would hardly want to draw attention to it. Mia sometimes wonders what it's like for him to live like this.

He shakes his head to get the thoughts that are unnecessary at this moment out of his head, and follows Olivia, who leads JD in front of her. The guy slips a couple of times on the slippery tile, and the girls have to catch him so that he does not fall. They lead him to the center, where everyone is really waiting for them, except for the most important person for Mia. Julian and Ethan are chatting about something, and Kenny is sitting in his wheelchair, looking at his surroundings with interest. Mia looks down in disappointment - River was not among them. However, she doesn't have time to think much about it, because Olivia removes the blindfold from JD.

- Surprise! - they all shout to him together, - Happy birthday!

He bows in both directions with the words "Thank you, thank you", and only then opens his eyes, looking at them dazedly.

- But there is no one here... - there is a lack of understanding in his words.

- Exactly, - Andrea approaches him, putting her hand on his shoulder, and then smiles slyly, - Everything is for you.

The guy looks at his friends in shock.

- So no one else is coming to the party?

- Only River has to come, - Stephanie is standing behind Kenny's stroller, leaning on the handles, and resting her chin on the top of the curly-haired guy, - and so no one else.

- Waaaaah... - JD draws out the words enthusiastically, looking at his friends, and then turns his head to Andrea standing next to him, - Did you arrange everything?

The girl smiles at him slyly.

- They helped me, - her finger twists a strand of his hair from his bangs, - but as it is, yes. Thank me!

Everyone laughs, and the guy smiles so admiringly when he looks at Andrea that she is embarrassed. He suddenly bends down, leaving a light kiss on her cheek. The guys whistle, and the girl and the guy smile awkwardly at each other. She shoves him in the back, leading him around the water park, starting their plan, and everyone follows them, talking cheerfully and laughing. Emma and Ethan are whispering softly but cheerfully about something, Olivia, Stephanie, Kenny and Julian are discussing something in common, and only a drooping Mia is trailing behind.

But she does not have time to be completely sad, because suddenly someone's swarthy palms grab her by the waist and the ground goes out from under her feet. Mia screams in fright, clutching her hands to the only thing that connected her to the ground - strong hands squeezing her waist. Laughter and her favorite velvety voice can be heard from behind.

- Why is such a charming girl so sad on this beautiful night?

He puts her down on the ground, and Mia huffs indignantly and turns around, intending to give him a good crack for scaring her, but she freezes with her hand raised when she sees him. He looks stunning, and the girl is ready to swear that he did not put any effort into it. He is not wearing his usual clothes, and the redhead blushes rapidly, realizing that he is in front of her in only bathing shorts and slates.

- I... I... you... Y-you're late, - she stammers from embarrassment and excitement, having lost all words, - why?

Her eyes are running over his body, and the girl is ready to admit right now that he is a fucking Apollo. He puts his hand on his side, and the redhead admires the way the muscles roll under his skin. She openly stares at him, and the guy laughs, smiling.

- Sorry, I was a little late, - he takes her palm in his and pulls after the others, who did not pay any attention to them, - I was choosing a gift. And what? Did you miss me?

Mia didn't want to admit the truth, but the urge to tease him was stronger.

- What if I say yes? - she turns her head to him, squeezing his palm even more tightly in her fingers, - Will you take me as your wife?

- Well, we can't get married now, but I can offer to be my girlfriend, - the brown-haired man laughs loudly, winking at her, - What do you want?

Mia pushes him with her shoulder, laughing, and they both walk a little behind the others, who have stopped at a fast food stall. JD eats the burger with an appetite, squinting her eyes with pleasure, and the guys smile happily, seeing how happy they were able to make it.

Andrea giggles merrily, seeing how pleased the young singer looks, and pulls him by the hand further, along the bridge over the pool, and hands him a caramel apple. The guy runs across the bridge, and his friends follow him, smiling.

- It's great to run skipping! - Olivia giggles, adjusting her glasses, - You're cool!

JD laughs merrily.

- Hahaha, how do you eat this thing?

Emma smiles.

- Very simple!

She demonstrates clearly, and everyone's jaws drop at this moment. River laughs, chokes on his own apple and almost chokes, and Mia slaps him on the back, trying to save him from suffocation. Jeremy looks at the black-haired girl with round eyes, and Andrea giggles awkwardly.

- Just do the opposite and everything will work out.

The guys drag the birthday boy further, to the ice cream kiosk, where Emma's stepfather is hiding with a pre-prepared dessert. The girls wave their hands until JD sees, and Emma jumps to Robert, taking the ice cream from him and thanking him, awkwardly trying to get him to leave. She hands the guy a treat, and they pull him to the vending machines.

The guys have fun as much as they can when their fathers decide to join the game.

***

- Did you invite Rad dad's?!

Both children and adults look as awkward and guilty as possible.

- I love them! - Jeremy shouts enthusiastically, and the men behind him enthusiastically put their hands on their hips, - How did you know?

The girls exhale with relief, glad that the singer is not angry with them. Olivia steps forward, saving the day.

- Everyone knows that sometimes there is not enough dad on a birthday...

She looks a little sad, and almost everyone hears the ambiguity in her words.

- Rad Dad's, go ahead!

Jeremy jumps into a triple inflatable tubing, rolling down the slide with Angus and Martin. As soon as they are in the pool, the guys decide to go down, but River suddenly throws Mia, who screamed in surprise, on his shoulder, and jumps with her in his arms into a single bun, rolling down after the birthday boy. The guys at first look after them with incomprehension, and then start laughing, lining up to follow their example.

Mia finds herself pressed against River as they roll down, and literally feels his broad chest moving with laughter.

- Don't forget to remind me to kill you, - the girl screams, clutching at his hands so as not to fall off, - When we roll down!

The brown-haired man laughed, holding onto the tubing fastenings with his palms, and feeling Mia shrink in his arms with his skin. They flew off the slide, landing successfully on the water, and the swimmers in the pool applauded them with fun.

The guy laughs, and the girl turns over on his lap, attacking him with passion. The brown-haired falls backwards, not expecting an attack, and the tubing turns upside down, unable to withstand an active struggle. Jeremy, Martin and Kenny whistle to them, and Angus claps, laughing loudly.

Mia emerges from the water, all wet to the skin, and tries to remove the soaked bangs from her eyes in order to see at least something. River sneaks up behind her, scaring her, and the girl screams and laughs, trying to see something. She waves her hands randomly, trying to blindly catch the guy, focusing on hearing, but from the outside it looks too funny, and therefore everyone else laughs loudly watching them.

River dodges an accidental wave of her hand, laughing as she swims up to her friend from behind. Mia suddenly turns deftly and catches him by the shoulders, clinging to him with a firm grip. Her wet bangs climb into her eyes, and the girl shakes her head, brushing it away. The brown-haired man looks into her eyes with admiration.

- Gotcha, - she gloats, holding him by the shoulders, - slyboot!

They do not notice how the laughter subsides for them in the background - they just look at each other. The girl groans when the guy's hands wrap around her waist and pull her to his chest. River looks more pleased than ever, and she blushes looking at him.

- No, you got caught!

He looks into her eyes and then leans closer, leaving a light kiss on her lips. Mia opens her eyes in shock, and then instinctively responds by pressing into his body.

- Hey, - the brown-haired man pulls away and smiles, pushing off with his feet from the bottom of the pool and puts the girl on the newly properly floating tubing, - I did it!

He throws his hand up, and everyone whistles and applauds him. Mia covers her face with her hands, hiding her wild blush. She looks at her father through the gap between her fingers, and sees that he is winking at River, as pleased as ever, with a thumbs up. The girl shyly turns away, hiding behind her hands.

***

The celebration in honor of JD was held at the usual pace. The guys gave him gifts, carried out their whole plan and left the brown-haired man terribly happy. When everyone decided that it was time to wrap up, it was decided to walk to the singer's summer house to help him deliver gifts. When they got to their destination, Jaydi managed to beg Andre from Martin to let her stay the night with him.

- Well, Dad! - the girl was indignant, pretending to be sleepy, - I'm tired and I'll stay here. That's it, bye!

She waved her hand at him, collapsing onto the sofa and turning her face to the back, and Jeremy shrugged, smiling awkwardly at Martin. The man resigned himself, looking sternly at the brown-haired man.

- Don't be naughty! - he wagged his finger at them, - And watch her, she can chatter in her sleep.

The guy nodded, and then shook the interlocutor's hand. The other fathers decided to take their daughters home, but Angus suddenly missed his youngest child.

- Has anyone seen Mia? - the red-haired man looked excitedly at his daughter's friends, - Where is she?

Olivia looked around, not knowing where her friend had gone, and then realized that River was also gone.

- She's 99% with River now, - she adjusted her glasses, smiling, - they probably decided to take a walk.

The man snorted, straightening his red mustache, and then took out his phone, immediately seeing an unread message from River. It said that the guy had stolen his daughter and they were walking on the beach, and most likely they would return in the morning.

- Here are the hooligans, - he sighs, - yes, they are together. Then I'll go. Happy birthday again, JD!

- Thank you, - the guy smiles, waving his hand to the departing friends and their fathers, - See you later!

As soon as they are out of sight, the brown-haired man chases the bodyguard away and pulls Andrea, who jumped off the sofa, into another room. She giggles, squeezing his hand, and hugs him by the belt. He closes the door and they just hug in the middle of the room. The girl lays her head on his shoulder.

- You know... She looks up at him, grinning, - I don't want to sleep in a swimsuit. Will you give me something?

His eyes widen thoughtfully, and he lets her go, walking over to the closet. Andrea is standing next to the bed, not wanting to sit down and wet the bed with her wet bathing suit. The guy digs among the things, soon they find some ordinary white T-shirt and thin sweatpants. Having unearthed a change of clothes for himself somewhere, he approaches his girl friend.

- Here you go. They'll probably be big for you, but you'll be sleeping, - he hands things to her, smiling, and then emerges from the room, - Change your clothes. Tell me how I can get in.

Andrea shakes her head, smiling, and changes clothes, leaving wet clothes on the dryer, which is in the room. She calls a friend, and he enters, already also dressed in dry clothes. The girl plops down on the bed, spreading out like a star, and JD laughs, lying down next to her.

- Thank you, - he turns his head to her, sees her smile and smiles back, - For this night. You were right, I will remember this birthday for the rest of my life.

She rolls over and puts her hand on his shoulder.

- Please, - she is gentle, and Jeremy enjoys the caress, closing his eyes, - I'm glad to try for you.

She pauses, smiling, and the two look at each other, enjoying the silence of the night. Andrea gets up, leaning his elbow on the bed, and leans over to the guy, gently touching his lips with his own. The brown-haired man blinks dazedly at first, and then kisses back, wrapping his arms around her waist.

They breathe heavily into the kiss, allowing themselves to be more liberated, and their hands gently wander over their bodies, adding a drop of passion to their quiet tenderness.

Through the open window, you can hear the sound of the sea, the cries of sleepy seagulls flying by and quiet music from round-the-clock restaurants on the shore.

***

River walks next to Mia, and they walk slowly along the beach, not daring to start a conversation. The guy is slightly behind, and he's definitely enjoying the view.

The girl stops to breathe in the air of the night beach, and River comes close, pressing against her back. The redhead tenses up, and the brown-haired man strokes her shoulders, soothingly touching her earlobe with his nose. Mia exhales, and her voice trembles slightly.

- R-River?

- Shhh... - he calms her, gently running his hand over her cheek, - Let me untangle your tail...

The girl squints, putting her fingers to her face, trying to hide a loving smile. The guy carefully removes the elastic band from her hair, pulling the loops over and over again, and the wet red curls eventually fall on the girl's shoulders. She shudders at the contrast of temperatures-her cold hair and River's hot embrace. His arms encircle her waist, and Mia presses her back against his chest, wishing that this moment would not end.

The guy runs his nose along the back of her neck, and the girl's skin is covered with goosebumps. He feels his girl relaxing in his arms, realizing from her reaction that she is delighted with his actions, and becomes a little more persistent, passing gentle wet kisses behind her ear. Mia's knees give way, and she literally holds on to River's hands, lying on her waist, like a lifeline.

The dark-haired handsome man feels with his chest how their hearts are pounding furiously, squeezing the girl in his arms. Mia can no longer stand such a hot tactile contact and turns to him, longing to see his face. River lets her turn around, and as soon as she does, the brown-haired man gasps with admiration, not daring to breathe.

Curls curled from the humidity framed her face, emphasizing her adorable green eyes. Mia was looking at him, pressing her palms to his bare chest, and River realized that he had never seen anyone more beautiful. This thought had already crossed his mind twice when he looked at the redhead- the first time at the ball, and the second time now, when he first saw her with her hair down.

The girl looks at him without looking away, and in her eyes River sees everything that he so passionately wanted to hear from her. Mia is incredibly embarrassed, but this does not bother her, and she strokes his cheek, and he presses against the touch, closing his eyes.

- You're under arrest, sir, - she smiles, devils dancing in her eyes, - for theft.

The girl giggles, and a smile spreads across the guy's face.

- What exactly did I steal?

He doesn't even open his eyes, smiling, and his lips run over her palm, leaving gentle kisses.

- My heart, - she hesitates, smiling shyly and happily, - And my first kiss...

- Really? - the brown-haired man gently kisses her shoulder, and the girl's skin crawls again, and he gently kisses up her neck higher, to her ear, and whispers so hotly that the red-haired girl's legs give way, - Well, then you are also arrested for the same reason, miss.

Mia can't stand it, grabbing his face with her palms, and kisses him so passionately that the guy's heart almost stops. He squeezes her waist with his hands, pressing her to him, and responds to her, insistently but gently biting her lower lip. The girl obediently opens her mouth, and they collide with tongues, weaving them in a dance of quiet passion.

And somewhere in the bushes Mia's father is hiding and cunningly rubbing his hands, putting the phone in his pocket, and wanting to show the photo to his wife as soon as possible.
