OK. This is my first story ever to post, but I'm not sure how it is going to turn out. Please review this and give me your opinion. Thanks

Kade. His name ran through my mind at least one hundred times a minute from all night. What was it about him? Kade. The dark, mysterious beauty I had met just hours ago on the beach.

I was sitting at the edge of the water where it just touched my bare feet. The party behind me was just getting exciting. That's the time I usually get away before getting caught up. The whole drinking, hooking-up, it's all just not my thing.

The wind from the waves touched my face softly as it passed by me. My body shivered. At that moment, he sat down next to me. Close, but not too close. I wanted to smile, but held it in if he was looking. I had only seen him once tonight, but he kept away from everyone else. Like his distance was a wall between him and the ones around him.

We both didn't say anything at first. The quiet almost felt safe next to him now. He was staring out at the ocean, leaning against his hands that were laying back behind him. From the corner of my I noticed his features. His broad shoulders, I knew they supported some very good looking muscles. His brown hair down just below his ear had small curls in some places that added to his beauty. The long, strong, body he supported was just amazing. His features tightened when I looked behind us.

Finally, after debating with myself in my mind, I got my nerves up to say something. But, coincidentally, at that exact same moment, so did he.

"I… oh! Sorry." We both said. He laughed under his breath, "You first." His voice was just a whisper, but then I noticed how it send exciting shivers down my body and butterflies to my stomach.

I let go of my let that were tucked against my chest. Reaching out, I held my hand up to him, "Alexis, or Alex." I smiled, "Alex Valenstine."

He nodded taking my hand softly. He shook, and by just a touch of his hand, I felt safe with him, "Kade." He replied, "Kade Night, and I do apologize."

I let my hand fall. My eyebrows slightly moved together, "Apologize. Why?" I asked.

"Well I didn't want to say anything at first." He paused, "you might have not wanted company, and I didn't want to say anything to disrupt it."

I smiled at the thought, "Don't." I said. "I just really don't feel like hanging out with drunks all night. It's not exactly on my to do list.

"Don't worry." Kade replied, "I'm alcohol free." He raised his hands up like I was a cop holding a gun to him. We both laughed as he lowered his arms, "So." He said, "Do you live here, or just visiting?" he asked.

Even through all of our stupid questions, I came on the outside upset. It turned out that he was leaving tomorrow, but he didn't tell me where he was going. I didn't ask, but I should have gotten a number or something. My hope slipped away when he did say he was leaving then.

Now here I am, sitting on my balcony, sipping coffee, watching traffic go by in a blink of an eye, wondering about him, Kade.

Last night, Kade even offered to drive me and my friend, Claire home. After Claire came over to us completely drunk, I did need to take his offer thankfully I did. I sat in the middle of him and Claire, in his small car. The car only had a front seat, so we were close together. Claire sat there most of the time puking out of the window.

We had stopped at a convenient store to get something for her to take. After paying and leaving, Kade dropped us off at our apartment that we shared together.

I had watched him drive off, he didn't even try to make a move on me. Of couse, my mind reminded myself, I will probably never see him again. Kade Night.
