The Secret of the Sea

I lie back on the warm sand, gazing at the stars above. The sound of waves, sloshing on the moist sand is as familiar as a long forgotten song.

"Mass, any chance of you joining us this year huh?" Josh Hotz calls playfully from the crackling barbecue.

I laugh, "Yeah in a minute."

My other best friends are with him, and my boyfriend Derrick Harrington.

It is a perfect night. The air is warm, the sea is sparkling in the soft moonlight and the scent of heather fills my nostrils from the clumps that grow randomly by the beach. Best of all, the entire Summer is stretched out before us.

I lazily run my tanned fingers through the sand, and feel as it trickles through my fingertips in a golden mist. The stars above pierce the endless black sky like diamonds scattered on black silk, meeting the indigo-blue sea on the horizon.

"Hey you" Derrick flops down next to me and I turn on to my elbow, my amber eyes meet his deep brown ones. "The barbie's ready" he says in his best Australian accent and I burst out laughing at how ridiculous he sounds.

He chuckles as well, flinging a lean, bronzed arm around my shoulder, pulling me closer.

"You gonna join us? Kemp's got marshmallows." Derrick mumbles in to my hair.

"Yeah sure." I stretch my arms out and accept Derrick's hand as an offer to pull me up. He wraps an arm around my waist and we walk over to the rest of the gang, and in that moment, as the sound of laughter fills our ears and the foamy sea-spray gently brushes our arms as it softly whistles past, everything is finally perfect.
