Catch Me if You Can
Chapter 20
The past two weeks have been better than ever.
Jason and I never went on a second date, since we both figured we weren't meant for each other.
Addison, Gerald and I have been getting along perfectly fine, I literally saw those two everyday.
And, Harry and I have been on neutral terms.
We saw each other every other day, usually at the beach.
I never stopped liking him, though.
I would never be able to fall out of love with his cheeky grin, eccentric blue eyes with green specks, and his humor that never failed to make my day.
But, it was now July 23rd, midway through summer.
Today was also the day I finally got to meet the infamous Lyssa, the girl Gerald always spoke about.
"Are you ready for the party?" Addison asked, as she applied a coat of mascara, staring intently at the bathroom mirror.
Addison had come over to my house earlier today, so we could both get ready for the little party that Gerald was going to throw for Lyssa.
The party was going to be small, just for all of Gerald's friends that Lyssa knew; I was an exception.
The party was going to be on a yacht, which was courtesy of Gerald's uncle.
I nodded, as I admired the way my new tan looked agaisnt my violet blue romper.
I fluffed out my loose curls, as I slipped on a pair of white sandal wedges.
Addison drove to the beach south of Los Angeles, where Gerald's uncle's yacht was.
From the parking lot, we could see that most of our friend's cars were already there, meaning we had to where late.
We hurriedly rushed up the stairs of the yacht, and onto the dock.
There was a transparent screen door, where we could see our little group of friends laughing and taking shots.
Harry's eyes met mine was Addison and I walked in the yacht.
I blushed when he gave me a small smile.
I noticed that he wasn't with Dani.
My eyes rotated around the room, searching for bleached hair, but it was no where to be seen.
Dani wasn't at the party.
"Oh, they're here!" we heard Gerald calling.
A tall, beautiful brunette stepped out, with her sparkling brown eyes glistening.
"Addison! It's been months!" she cheered, wrapping her arms around Addison.
She pulled away, and gave me a gentel grin.
"And I'm guessing you are Colby, huh?"
I chuckled nervously, as I nodded. I was shy when it came to meeting new people.
"It's nice to finally meet you." she sweetly smiled, giving me a quick squeeze.
Now that everyone who was invited showed up, we began to take off into the ocean.
Everyone rushed out to the deck, where we got a clear view of Los Angeles.
As everyone stripped into their swimwear and jumped in the pool that was on the deck, while others tanned on the sunchairs.
I went to the kitchen, searching for something to drink.
"What are you doing here?" a angelic voice asked.
I looked up from the fridge, and found Lyssa smiling down at me.
"I'm just looking for a drink." I explained, taking out two cans of Coke, one for her and one for me.
"Thanks." she nodded, popping open the can.
We lounged in the kitchen, as I found out that she was a year older than Gerald, and wanted to become a singer.
"So, tell me, what's this about you and Harry?" Lyssa asked out of the blue.
I choked on my soda, as my face flushed.
"Well..."
