UNTITLED

"Hey, I feel like you're different somehow," Dawn said with uncertainty written all over her face.

"Ah? What, do you think I'm more handsome?" Ben nervously chuckled, attempting to steer the conversation away while scolding himself in his mind 'Dammit, calm down.'

"Handsome?" Dawn paused, then grinned knowingly. "Ah, got it. You're more confident now. The old Ben I knew would never call himself as handsome."

"..." Ben opened his mouth to explain, only to close it, stunned as he realized that he didn't know how to react for a moment. 'Am I seen by her?'

"Oh, well, it's not that bad," Dawn shrugged, as if she didn't really care. "Better than being insecure all the time."

It was already 8 PM when the Addams' RV arrived. The sky was already dark, so both families decided to have a BBQ party outside their cabin.

As usual, the adults went to prepare the necessary equipment, while the children sat around the bonfire, chatting about random stuff with their pals.

"So, what do you think?" Dayna asked, showing off her newly bought bikini to Brandi, causing the latter and Dawn to roll their eyes.

"Show off," Dawn scoffed, making the former smirk at her.

"Really, I don't think so. What do you think, Ben?" Dayna flashed a bright smile, leaning forward to Ben, showcasing her already developed C-cup, paired with her small waist and young, tender skin.

The sight was simply irresistible.

"That's right, I think you're beautiful, Dayna." Ben nodded in agreement without hesitation. His teenage body was very honest, coupled with his strong memory, making it hard for him to control his emotions.

Looking at the girl who was deliberately seducing him, his very instinct told him to let her know her place, pin her down, and bang mercilessly.

"Darn, teenage hormones!" he sighed wryly. Sometimes being a teenager is really troublesome.

"Ben?!" Dawn exclaimed, looking at him with a disbelief expression.

"Eh? I'm just saying she's pretty, but you're much prettier, Dawn," Ben explained immediately. However, the latter ignored him.

"Tsk, whatever!" Snorting, she got up from her seat and went inside the cabin, leaving him behind with Dayna and Brandi.

"..."

"Oh my, I didn't expect that Ben would think highly of me!" Dayna smirked, as if nothing happened. She sat beside Ben, ignoring the questioning look that Brandi gave her.

"Ahh, that..."

"Hey, no need to be nervous. Dawn won't be jealous of me, ya know," Dayna said with a smirk, then got up to leave, adding, "Anyway, thanks for the honest review. I'm going to reward you later."

As Ben looked at the back of the girl who deliberately added an extra sway to her hips and his sister Brandi, who had a confused expression on her face following behind her, he was left speechless.

3RD POV

DAYNA'S ROOM

"What the heck is that?" Brandi asked, her face filled with confusion as she looked at her best friend who was changing her bikini into a casual outfit. The latter, seemingly unaware, put on an innocent look and asked, "What do you mean 'that'?"

"I mean, 'that.' You deliberately seduced Ben in front of Dawn, even if you know that the two of them are a thing already," Brandi said with a matter-of-fact expression, listing what Dayna did in annoyance.

Dayna shrugged as if she didn't care at all and said, "First of all, they are not a thing; second of all, do you still believe that they are soul mates? Come on, you're fifteen already; and third, I know Dawn, she won't get jealous for such simple stuff."

"Okay, I get your point; they are not a thing right now, and maybe they're not soulmates, or whatever," Brandi sighed with a helpless expression, then frowned as she continued, "But still, everybody's hoping for them to end up together. Also, have you forgotten? I'm your best friend. I know you. So answer me, what is your problem?"

The other party went silent for a moment, but under Brandi's glare, she helplessly exhaled, "Okay, fine. Maybe I'm a bit jealous of Dawn."

"You're jealous of her?" Brandi asked with a confused expression.

"I mean, Mom, Dad, and DJ keep treating her like she's all-perfect,"

"But isn't she's perfect?"

"See, even you think of her that way!"

"Well, It's just a metaphor, I mean, Dawn had that vibe that around her that make her very likeable, that's all."

"Sigh, I know, I get it.. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I hate her for that, I just feel like you, when you bully Ben to make yourself feel better when you get frustrated."

"Oh... I feel like I get you when you put it that way," Brandi shrugged, nodding with a knowing look before adding, "But still, Dawn is a girl; you can't bully her often."

"I know. In fact, I never bully her at all. I just get annoyed by her. Lately, she's been criticizing me for the way I wear clothes and the people I hang out with, calling them rude and uncool."

"You hang out with rude people?"

"Err, of course not... I mean, I may attend some parties, but all of them are cool ones, no bad stuff like drugs or whatever, just drinks."

"Oh, then why did you hesitate at the 'Drug' part?"

"... Well, Maybe, some of them did use it.. but I'm not sure, so..."

Author's Note:

LOL, it's been days since the last time I updated. I almost forgot that I still have this ongoing fanfic.

Honestly, I'm not sure if I can still update regularly at this point. I also don't know if I can maintain the quality, so I apologize in advance if some parts feel rushed or too slow. I just don't have enough time to think thoroughly about them.
