Of course the rest of the flight went as usual. The woman sitting next to Gale came back and ignored him and my parents completely ignored me.
We finally got to the house around 4 in the afternoon. My uncle came outside to greet us and help with our luggage. He actually looked happy for once in his life. I was so used to him scowling I was shocked to see him smiling. He also looked younger, and I wasn't the only one who had noticed.
"What did you do to your face?" My mom looked up at her older brother with a grin.
"I know I look amazing," he turned around and winked at me. Then pulled me into a hug. "How's my smart ass, I mean smarty pants niece today?"
"Good. Where's Anne?"
"She's at the mall, said she wanted you and your mom to come meet her after you got settled."
"Even Hawaii hasn't changed that country accent I see." Gale slapped Don on the back.
We went into the house and Don showed us our rooms. My mom and dad were on the second floor in the left wing of the house. Gale and I ended up in the right wing, his room was only three doors down from mine.
Mom and I met Anne at the mall and the guys came later to meet us for dinner. Of course everyone was talking about the wedding that I was dreading. Anne had me try on the bridesmaids dress today, and honestly it wasn't ugly. It was actually a beautiful dress, but of course it was yellow, my most unflattering color. It made me look washed out and even though my hair was not completely blonde it still blended in with the dress.
When we got back to the house everyone seemed exhausted. They sat around the living room laughing about old times and discussing the members of the family that were arriving tomorrow. I was bored, restless, and needed to walk around. I went upstairs to put on my bathing suit.
I grabbed the first one I found. It was a black triangle top that made my boobs look fantastic. I grabbed a towel and ran downstairs.
The first person to notice me was Gale, of course. He looked over at me and I smirked.
"Oh my god sweetie you look fantastic." Anne was walking over to me with her arms outstretched. "See Don this is the kind of stomach I want." She lifted up her own shirt and stood next to me.
Her stomach looked great for a woman who was closer to 60 than 50.
"Age is on her side honey, no surgery can change that."
I knew Gale was still watching me as Anne walked back to her seat. "Be careful out there, that Miller boy is back for the summer and he's no good. Stay away from him." Anne looked at me while she said her warning.
The Miller boy was James Miller. He was one of the hottest guys I had ever met and he knew it. He honestly looked like he walked out of the pages of a magazine, but he was a total heartbreaker. Ashley lost her virginity to him the last time we were here and the next day he acted like he didn't even know her. She completely fell apart and I hated him for that. I also hated him because I had hooked up with him at a party the night before he slept with Ashley.
I walked to the pool and submerged myself in the water. It was still warm from that day and felt amazing. I shut my eyes and I heard someone walking towards the pool. I turned around, expecting Gale, but was severely disappointed.
