did, lots
of times daddy look my hair ’s
all wet!” he points his little finger at me and looks so affronted
it makes me giggle a little.
    “ I may have
got a little carried away” I admit.
    “ You’re phones
been ringing” Dave says passing me my bag.
    I slip my tee
back on and struggle with my shorts to put my jeans back on. “Well
looks like real life is calling me back”
    “ Thanks for
entertaining him for a while”
    “ It’s not a
problem I had more fun than I do with my own friends” I wink at
them both. “Don’t forget to build your sandcastles! And make sure
there’s a moat too!” I ruffle Dave Jr’s hair once more before I
stand up.
    “ Ill see you
tonight?” Dave asks gathering the buckets and spades.
    “ You bet” I
call over my shoulder and check my phone to see where I’m meeting
Sophie and the guys for dinner, I’m surprised to find that so much
time has gone by.
     
    “ What happened
to you?” Sophie bursts
    into
hysterics when I reach their table that is thankfully outside the
restaurant, I’m not sure I’d be allowed inside to join them
otherwise.
    “ What? This is
the new look” I poke my tongue out at her still feeling
playful.
    “ Glad that
you’re in a better mood” Matt notes while Tucker just looks vaguely
amused.
    “ You’re just
jealous because I spent the day with a very handsome man and had
the best time in my life”
    “ Handsome you
say?” Sophie asks sitting up with interest.
    “ Very” I
nod
    “ Who was it?
Anyone I know?”
    “ Yeap, Dave’s
little boy, he’s six now and grown up so much since we last seen
him” Matt and Tucker both laugh at Sophie’s clear disappointment
and no getting any gossip.
    “ Where did you
see him too?” She asks looking happy now.
    “ They were on
the beach, Dave sent him over to me with a football hoping I could
keep an eye on him for an hour while, he was knackered. I dunked us
in the sea a few times and well this is what I got back for it” I
point to my hair “He got the whole of me, I’m covered in sand
underneath all my clothes, it’s so uncomfortable but it was worth
it to see him laugh for a while”
    “ Who are Dave
and Dave Junior?” Matt asks noting that Sophie and I both know
them.
    “ The lead
singer of the band, it’s sad really. He’s the quietest of the group
and got his high school sweetheart pregnant, they were really happy
even though they were so young. She died two years later though in
a car accident it was terrible. He hasn’t really been with anyone
since either, he’s dated a few women but he doesn’t really seem
interested in anyone and little Dave doesn’t really remember his
mum” Sophie fills them in while I order.
    “ He’s sweet,
he’s like the instant big brother” I nod at them “hey, I wonder if
he will kick Jason’s ass for me when I get back” I wink only half
joking.
    “ Why?” Sophie
asks frowning.
    “ I got a few
texts off him today, I missed his calls when I was in the sea and
obviously Dave didn’t go in my bag to answer my phone, so he’s been
going a bit crazy but after what he sent me this morning I don’t
really care” I shrug.
    Jason is
starting to get on my nerves now, if I don’t answer my phone I’m
automatically having sex with someone else, when I’m not entirely
convinced that I believe him when he denies what he’s doing behind
my back anymore, after all why would he be so convinced I’m doing
it if he’s not?
    “ Well if
there’s any ass kicking that needs to get done you have us
remember” Matt says gesturing to himself and Tucker.
    “ Aww that’s
really sweet guys … but I wouldn’t want any of you to get hurt” I
can’t help but laugh at how offended they both look.
    “ What are you
wearing tonight?” Sophie asks me changing the subject.
    “ I bought a
blue chiffon dress this morning”
    “ Aww Brooke,
just one night!” she pleads, she doesn’t have to say anything else
because I know what she’s asking me is , to
