Chapter 152 Before

• Elena's POV:
• I intentionally pushed my chest out so he could get the perfect view of my stunning skin under the sun. I allowed the water to engulf me, easing the tension in my body. Jessie and I giggled as we played in the pool, splattering water on ourselves.
• The sun beat down on me, warming my skin and filling me with a sense of relaxation. I reclined on the pool chair, my eyes closed as I soaked up the rays. Then I felt a splash of water hit my face, and I opened my eyes to see Jessie grinning at me, her wet hair dripping onto her shoulders. I let out a squeal of surprise and splashed her back, and soon we were engaged in a full-fledged water fight. We laughed and shrieked as we doused each other with water while the guys watched us with amusement. However, with the look in Derek's eyes, I knew I was getting it tonight.
