Chapter 18 - Celebrating my parent's anniversary

SATURDAY MORNING

I woke up this morning and this alarm kills me. Well Elle said that Tyler is rich, and she also said that we should go at Tyler's apartment and sleep there for a day. But we didn't told him yet but we will be there for nothing, just having fun and maybe do some homework if John gave us one. And of course when we went back to the room I asked the about my parent's anniversary on the beach and mom was right, they will never say no.

DING!

Oh, it's Alex and he texted...

Alex: "I'm outside of your house, can I come in?"

Me: "Sure, why didn't you hit the doorbell?"

Alex: "I love texting you than pressing the doorbell and wait you here"

Me: "Okay, wait there"

LATER...

I asked him to get inside and of course he went in. He was wearing his white short pants, a white Button-Down with leaf prints and his slippers. So, I asked him "You're going to school like that?" he chuckled right away and said "Really, Sam? You forgot about the anniversary on the beach?" and I was like Whaaaat?

And I said "Since, when are you my boyfriend?" He laughed and said "I wish I was, Sam but it's your parent's anniversary" my eyes and mouth quickly widened

"Oh, really? I'm so sorry, I totally forgot about that - just kidding. Why would I forgot about their anniversary? I asked them if they're free and I forgot?" I said. We both chuckled and he said to me to get change and I did... But, I have nothing to wear

I walked out from my room, wearing a bath robe and got nothing to wear, that's what girls say, am I right? So I said to Alex "Alex, I got nothing to wear, can you help me?" he looked at me when I said it and he got something from his bag and gave it to me properly while saying "Be careful with that"

It's a white button-down with leaves like what he's wearing right now and he added "that's mine, if you're asking your mind and if you don't like-" I interrupted, saying "No! I'm using it" He smiled right away

So, I wore his Button-Down, Shorts, Straw Tote, Sandals. As I got out from my room he quickly looked at me and stood up, smiling and said "You look good!" and I smiled back while saying "Thank you! I love it"

AT THE BEACH

While walking around the beach people we're looking at us and I just realized... We were walking together and wore the same shirt that got us laughing without saying any word, just stared and laughed. When we arrived at the cottage my friends were looking at us, completely SHOCKED!

Elle said "Both of you... WHEN?!" we looked at each other and laughed and I said to Alex "I love-

They were all jumping, screaming while he asked me "What are you saying, actually?" and I replied "Oh, What I said is that I love the shirt you let me borrowed or gave to me?"

"It's yours now." Alex replied. I smiled while saying by mouth "Thank you" he smiled back. Then they arrived

Mom said "What's with the screaming?" and I heard mom's gasped, I think she saw us wearing the same shirt while my brother's smile went slowly down then dad asked "What is this all about?"

I replied "Oh, Alex gave me this shirt, a while ago and I want to wear it since I'm here" and Lia replied "Our Sam, doesn't wear other people's clothes" So, I replied "Oh, really? But I'm not the Sam you looking for"

MOMENTS LATER...

"Welcome! People of Seattle, we will have a battle by siblings compete to other siblings and whoever wins the challenges will be claimed champion for this year. And our challenge will start in 1 hour and 9 minutes. So, for those who want to join, kindly sign up at cottage 4, thank you"

A battle of siblings? That sounds good for a great start.

Mom quickly ran to me and asked "Is this why we're here?" I nodded and said "Yes, I know that there will be some contests 'cause that's what the people wants, GAMES!"

And she replied instantly, "Why is there games today? It's not summer anymore" and I replied, "Well, the owner of this beach had his birthday today and he wants to celebrate it by this so, that's why many people are coming here today"

Mom nodded and said "Okay, is that so... And how do you know that?" Alex ran to us and gave me a folded off-shoulder flowy dress and said "You can change if you want" and I replied "Thanks, you're the best boy friend I've ever had and I'm thankful for that" He smiled while looking at me then walked away

Mom said "You were really close to Alex, but do you have a crush on him?" my eyes widened and I replied "And if I say yes, would you be okay with that?" Mom gasped and chuckled and she said "So, is it a yes?"

I smiled and chuckled. And mom was like "Oh my God, Sam!" We both laughed and hugged each other and she whispered "I will be here to support you both" and I replied "didn't you said long time ago, that he had a girlfriend in LA?" and she stopped hugging me.

"Oh yes, I forgot. But you should ask him, if you want to know" mom said and I replied "Okay, I will but I just had a crush on him a little bit, but not a hundred percent just 20?" and Mom smiled

Amber called us both to eat our breakfast. We had a chicken, eggs, hotdogs and burgers. What a heavy breakfast but we got an Iced tea instead of other beverages since it's morning. And after we eat our meal the challenge started.

Mom forced my brothers to join the contest and have team work and they said "Yes, if that's what make you both happy" Mom was happy when Spencer said that

And the challenge starts, challenges passed by, the scoreboard shows 1-3 out of 4 challenges with a timer. The winning score was 5 and mom got disappointed by what she saw, I guess our brothers doesn't know the word 'teamwork'. Spencer saw mom from the stage and sighed. The boys were whispering something and later on... The scoreboard shows 4-4 and the last challenge is the 'copycat' where they copy the action on the picture and whoever copied the action, WINS!

But, after the last challenge... The other team won. Which made Spencer completely sad and I saw them four talking to each other, I guess Spencer is telling them that it's okay

I said to mom "Mother, they lost." and she replied "That's okay, seeing them working together makes me happy" I smiled. My brothers ran to us, and Spencer told mom "it's okay, at least we work hard and worked to each other"

My brothers, mom and dad talked to each other. And me, my friends, watching them getting together. Spencer walked to me and he said "I know it's you." And he hugged me adding "I'm sorry, and I love you. I accept you as my real sister now" and mom said "Spencer! Why are you hugging Sam?"

Spencer looked at mom and said "Yep, you're telling me this girl that is standing beside me is not Kira. So, okay, I will think she's not the girl I've been - No, we've been looking for. But I know and my hearts says that this is her"

I smiled. I want to hug him and said that this is really me but when I was about to hug Spencer, I looked at mom and she shaked her head, making me not stop and not doing it.

"Why is this day, gets emotional? We should have fun than us watching you guys getting emotional. So are we having fun or not?" Elle said. Elle's attitude is getting good, I smiled at her and she stared at me

AT THE COTTAGE

After Elle said her word, we went back to our cottage. And let Amber asked me, "Sam, aren't you going to the sea?" I smiled and replied "I'm going! Who says I'm not"

I wore a white classy two-piece, covering my bottom with a black short sarong, black sunglasses, a beach hat. Amber and Elle wore the same style but in different colors.

When we arrived back to our cottage our boys were shocked making my mom said "Sam!" and I chuckled and then Alex and Tyler said "OH MY GUACAMOLE!"

"Your reactions are like it's your first time seeing me wearing this kind of stuff. Except you all boys are shirtless" I said to them, they all laughed and Amber asked us if we can go now and of course we replied "YAAAAAAAAASSSSS!!"

We're at the beach, and left mom and dad inside the cottage. The lovebirds, Shayne and Elle were splashing to each other, while the other boys were racing. Me and Amber we're sitting at the sea. And also my future sisters were playing beach volleyball.

I said to Amber "it's so fun to see, how my brothers were getting along to each other, but mom said it's not time yet" and she replied "Yeah, maybe she just wanted to be sure that they were really getting along, 'cause what if they we're just pretending they we're getting along and besides Spencer said earlier that your the Sam they were looking for" and I nodded and we hugged to each other.

June just ended and now, we welcome the new month of the year, July.

See you in the next chapter.
