Author's Note: Wow I went from total writer's block, to having a million ideas and stories going at once. I'll try to update my others ones too but lately the ones I have been favoring are this one and Dreams Come True…still got a few I want to update but out of ideas….SO R & R!

SUMMARY: Bradin is not interested in dating for a while, he's upset about his parents' death and could care less about anyone after Callie left, but when he meets an amazing surfer girl named Isabel, she shows him some moves and enters him into a contest, which he does really good in, but since she is his coach they decide it'd be best if they don't get together, she actually ends up helping him get his long time crush Erika and falls for him herself .But after an accident she ends up being the only one to listen to him and get him back on his feet to go to finals for surfing and he falls for her all over again, but this time her feelings for him change too, will they stay friends or will they see they are actually meant for each other?

Surprises

The sun was rising and the sky was slowly being covered by red and orange colors. The clouds were nearing too, white cotton balls almost engulfing the sky. I looked out onto the ocean, the waves crashed against the rocks, some larger some smaller. Leaning against the rails of the balcony, I decided it'd be a perfect time for surfing, before anyone even got up.

Grabbing my board I raced across the sand, each foot sinking with each step. I ran into the water and took the next wave that came my way. Since Callie moved to New York and crazy Sarah off to Boarding School, I was left with no one. I haven't been thinking about having a girlfriend anyways, too focused on my job with Jay, and too focused on surfing which once I had moved to Playa Linda, it had become my favorite past time. I came in after about 20 min. of surfing, the waves had gone flat. I groaned and put my board into the Surf Shop and ran down the beach, it was sort of windy and felt good.

About 10 minutes of running and I got tired and ran up to a group of close by rocks and sat down. After staring out into the waves crashing against the shore, I spotted a few surfers. One of them was really good, and when the waves had gone flat once again, he came in right beside me practically. Only then I noticed "he" wasn't a he, it was a girl, she was totally amazing. She wasn't what you would normally see around Playa Linda, except the fact the she had on a black wetsuit and her hair up and under a swimming cap, she was pretty tan, and I could tell her hair under her cap was a reddish, blonde, like a strawberry blonde maybe once was red bleached by the sun.

I got up and started walking towards the surf shop, my watch said 7:30, time to open up. I lowered my head and almost ran into someone; it was the girl I was watching earlier. "Oh sorry" I mumbled and kept walking, not noticing for a while. "It's ok" I looked up and saw her looking at me, smiling. "Just not looking where I was going, waves pretty flat out there huh" I nodded, "Uhh yeah, Bradin Westerly" I put out my hand and she shook it, "Isabel White" I nodded, she had a really pretty name. "Don't ask, my parents had a weird foreign name thing going, my entire family is foreign names" I laughed, "It's cool, I actually like it, it's different, not the usual Jessica, Sarah, Catherine or whatever" she smiled.

"Thanks…uhh…So Bradin, you surf" I nodded. "You going to enter the Playa Linda competition, its in a month or so" I shook my head, "No way, I'm not nearly good enough, you…you're amazing though, really good chance at winning", "Thanks, I'm not that good though" she blushed. Noticing it had gotten warmed I pulled my wetsuit off and let it drop to the ground, then got out and draped it over my arm. "Good idea" Isabel smiled and unzipped her wetsuit and peeled it off her body, I couldn't help but stare.

Under she had a red and black bikini, the top tied around her neck and the bottom had little bows at the sides, the entire bikini was in stars, red and black stars. She had an amazing figure, a gorgeous tan and a small shelled anklet that went around her left ankle. She stuck her surfboard into the ground and pulled off her cap, she was absolutely beautiful. Her strawberry blonde hair waved a little and went to half her back, looking up I noticed her look at me too and once our eyes met we both shyly looked down. She blushed a little, and then pulled her hair back into a pony tail and now you could perfectly see her face. She had a few freckles but you couldn't really tell and bright blue eyes that totally clashed with her face, but looked totally amazing.

(Isabel's P.O.V)

I was glad I met Bradin, I had just moved to this part of Playa Linda and knew no one, and my dad decided that the old house got boring and that we needed a change, so we moved 20 minutes down the shore, big whoop. As Bradin pulled off his wetsuit I stared at him, hoping not to get caught. His sandy blonde hair practically stuck to his gorgeous face and his nice tanned body almost shone in the sun. I noticed he had been looking at me too, so we were even.

"So umm, you want to show me some of your surfing skills" I asked, he shrugged but seemed skeptical. "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to impress me or anything, just do what you normally would", the waves had picked up and it had gotten perfect for surfing. "Okay, I guess I could" he grabbed his board from inside the surf shop and started for the water. "What you like own the shop or something" he smiled, and I just about melted, he had this smile to die for, it lit up his really cute face. "Yeah, umm, my aunt's roommate owns it and I work there over the summer, you should come check it out" I nodded; with you working there I'd come in every day I though to myself and had to try hard to keep from smiling.

He got to the water and I stood on the edge, watching. After about 3 wipeouts he came out of the water. "Okay so I'm not that good" I clapped, "You were really good, amazing potential Bradin, just when you just stand up don't lean forward so much, I noticed you doing it a lot and you totally lost your balance, try to keep your weight balanced so you don't tip" he nodded, "Yeah, it's hard though" I pushed a piece of hair that had fallen out behind my ear. "Yeah, but you just need a little bit of work and you could be totally amazing, here let me teach you something" he shrugged and followed me into the water. I did a perfect 360 and came out, he was just staring. "I could never do that" I closed my eyes and nodded at him, smiling, "Sure you could come on" I told him what to do and after about 2 wipeouts he finally managed to do it, I stood on the shore and cheered.

"Woo amazing!" He came out of the water and pushed back his hair out of his eyes, why had I already fallen so hard? "Thanks, an amazing coach" I smiled and bowed my head. We both heard clapping and turned around, Erika stood behind us. "Wow Izzy, you taught Bradin something I have been trying to do for months, in one day, amazing" I hugged her. "Erika" Bradin seemed surprised. "You two know each other" he questioned, still looking at us. "Yeah of course, we were best friends since like elementary school" I laughed. "Oh so that makes you Erika's age" he seemed disappointed. "Nope, I'm a little younger, I'm only 17 but our parents knew each other and so…we became best friends"

Erika pulled down her hair and then put it back up, I noticed the way Bradin looked and knew he had a little thing for Erika. "Yeah, but I think we need to switch jobs Izzy, you'd be a better coach to Bradin then me, he seems to learn faster with you" I nodded, "That'd be great, I need the teaching experience too I want to give lessons in a few months, so it'd be nice" we shook hands, "Okay I'm officially handing Bradin over to you, don't be afraid to work him too hard" Bradin rolled his eyes. "Nah, I'm not that tough, no worries, but we do have to get you ready to compete" again he threw his head back and sighed, "I told you I am not nearly good enough" I took his hand, "You will be in a few months, you'll be a pro, come on" I led him to the water.

About 2 hours of surfing later we were both lying on towels on the sand. "Whew, I'm tired, who says you're not tough" I laughed, "Well I said I'm not THAT tough, but you'll have to get used to working hard, no slackers with me Mr. Westerly" he turned over on his side and I mirrored him, turning around and looking at him face to face. "You know how cute you are, you got really pretty eyes" I couldn't believe that just came out of my mouth. He blushed and played with a little stick in the sand, "Thanks, my Aunt Ava told me I had eyes just…just like my…" he paused for a minute and looked like he was about to cry. "Bradin, are you ok" he nodded, "She said I had eyes just like my mom, a very particular green color" I nodded, "Where are your parents" I was sorry for asking, he winced at the question. "I'm sorry you don't have to tell me" I didn't want him to feel uncomfortable but he shook his head.

(Bradin's P.O.V)

I was glad she didn't push it, but I figured I'd better tell her so I won't at least have to go through all of this of telling her all over again. "My parents…were killed in a flood a while ago, and so we moved to Playa Linda with aunt, me, my sister Nikki, and Derrick, my little brother" she put her arm over my shoulder and after holding it back so much she noticed. "You know it's ok to cry Bradin, no one expects you to keep it to yourself all the time, and you have to let it out somehow its not good to keep it all bottled up all the time" I shook my head and wiped away the tears that had quickly started running down my face.

"Surfing has kind of always been my thing; it's sort of like my escape, I don't mind that I'm not very good it just helps me feel better I guess" she laughed, I didn't think it was funny. "What" I asked. "Nothing, not laughing at you, I just kind of found it funny that its exactly what I started off, but I got better and better and now I compete and it's something I do to relax and I'm pretty good at it" she smiled and I smiled back, we had this whole conversation just by smiling the other knew exactly what we were saying.

It had started to get cloudy and looked like it was about to rain, but it didn't matter now, I was having the best time here with Isabel. We were looking at each other for a while and I completely lost myself, her eyes pulled me in, closer and closer together. "Bradin…" she started but I didn't move away or stop. In a matter of seconds our lips met in a sweet kiss. Even if it was only a second, I realized nothing has felt more right last few years of my life since my parents died. "I…need to go" she got up and started to run down the shoreline towards her house. "Isabel, wait, I'm sorry" I grabbed her arm and she turned around. "This isn't right Bradin, we can't…" she stopped when I kissed her again.

This time she didn't pull away, neither did I. I put my hands around her waist and pulled her closer, and her arms went around my neck. Kissing Isabel was heaven, I didn't want her to be like Erika though, saying this isn't right and then contradicting herself. "Kansas" I heard and quickly turned around and saw Erika walking towards us, I wondered if she saw. Isabel quickly wiped her lips and threw her bag further onto her shoulder to keep it from slipping off. "Hey Isabel, I thought you went home" she licked her lips and then turned away, "Yeah, just saying bye to Bradin, remember to meet me here tomorrow morning at 6:30 for your lesson, don't be late Bray" she smiled and ran off, Erika didn't move.

Maybe she didn't see us kiss, I was already on thin ice with Jay and Erika ad I didn't need anything else killing it. "Bradin I saw you kiss Isabel", oh well, so much for that idea. "…Bradin I don't want you with her, she's officially your coach and you can't ruin this for her, and plus, she's not right for you, Isabel is different then what you see and you don't even know her, please just stay away" I didn't get why Erika didn't want me with Isabel, but I shrugged it off. "Oh, and who are you to tell me what to do, I like her and she likes me, why is that so damn hard for you to understand" I yelled at her and she just bowed her head. "Bradin…" she stopped and turned around and walked away. "Remember I warned you to stay away, she's not right for you trust me as a friend if not anything else" I nodded and she ran off down to the surf shop.
