'Love Somebody'
'I really wanna love somebody
I really wanna dance the night away
I know we're only half way there
But you can take me all the way, you can take me all the way'
It was the perfect summer breeze, the fresh smell of skinny-dipped tan. I decided, I was indeed not ahead of the others. I'm far too late and I'm far too close. Maybe because, my friends are too fast. They were all happy with their found love while I'm stuck in the house, watching TV with my dog 'Nachos'. He is a Siberian Husky, and I found myself that everything is okay as long as Nachos is with me.
I couldn't call my friends because they were too busy and I don't get it. Instead of worrying, I decided to take my dog for a walk. A walk in the beach, which was coincidentally around the house or anywhere the place stretches. I took my flip flops and took Nachos with me. The wind was actually refreshing and the sun stretching over the waters, I never get tired of looking.
"Pretty beautiful" I said to myself. I watched how Nachos ran around the beach in circles while I reminded myself that one more year. One more year and mom's taking me with her. I'm stuck in the beach house, waiting for time to pass and leave.
I pulled Nachos's favorite thing to do which is baseball, which was amazing because he loves bringing the ball to other people and not to me. But, I love him anyway. "Nachos!" I yelled, his tail wiggles when he heard his name, turning around he saw the yellow ball in my hands. "Nachos!" He ran across my direction, eyes following the ball until I threw it in the air.
We were like this until fifteen minutes. I threw the last in the air and of course he followed, but when I gazed on the turning ball it was turning to the direction of someone I couldn't make out because it was getting dark. Until it hit someone on the head. "Oh no" I muttered, I ran towards the direction of the ball and Nachos was already sniffing the fallen person.
"On no, cheeses. I'm so sorry! I lost control of the ball or maybe Nachos didn't really caught it!" I apologized, I was lying on my knees and his teeth were clenched, what was strange though was his teeth were sharp and jagged. And he was wearing this brown sunglasses. "Uhm... Are you okay?".
He didn't answer, instead, he groaned while rubbing his head. "Yeah, you got some strong arm, huh? I really need to be careful most of the time anyway. No worries" He sat up properly, beach sand covering his tanned skin. I figured he's the same age as mine, maybe a year older. 18 perhaps.
"I'm so sorry. I really need to take Nachos a bit more inside" He dusted himself from the sand as he stood up and I realized he was muscular from the way his arms flexed and he is towering above me now.
"It's okay. Besides, he looks like someone who wants to play with you a lot" He eyed my dog who was already licking his hand. "Trust me, I could do this all day if he wants" The guy removed his glasses and I was curious of how unfairly beautiful his eyes were. They were piercing red.
"Are you a tourist?" I asked all of a sudden which I regretted because I could have thought that I was being bias by his appearance.
"Noticed the weird color of the hair, eyes and weird teeth, huh?" Damn.
"I think it looks nice" Which was to be honest, he looked like a model. He had a carved body of a model and he looked like someone who might have mistaken him that he was an actor.
"Well, you are something else. And I'm... Somewhat a tourist"
"Why? I mean... You look normal to me"
"You are actually the first one to call me normal"
"And I'm not lying about it. You kind of... Look like the guy playing the violin? Wes? Something..." I swore, he was surprised that I mentioned his look alike but decided he lets it go. Maybe he gets that a lot, I mean... They both have the red eyes and white hair but maybe not the teeth. We were both silent at first and what was weird though, I didn't noticed myself that we were walking side by side on the beach, the small waves tickling my feet and Nachos creating small splashes of salty water since he's running around us.
"Evans" He shortly responded after. Which I didn't get but I decided to be silent anyway. And he continued what he meant.
"His name is Wes Evans. I'm his younger brother" And I couldn't believe it myself, I'm talking to a semi-famous guy who plays awesome music. Without even looking in my direction, maybe he gets the same reaction as mine to other people.
"Well, that explains the almost close resemblance. But... I'm guessing he's a jerk" He laughed on my somewhat joke which I didn't get because I hardly know Wes or him. He just cackled a crooked laugh and I suddenly kind of want to hear his laugh again. It wasn't fake nor trying hard to laugh, it was all natural.
"You're a great guesser. He's a total jackass"
"Hmmm"
"Are you here alone?" I wasn't sure that I'm going to answer. Because he is random stranger that I just met and he looked harmless to me given his appearance. He's a good guy who actually likes talking.
"Don't worry... I'm not a rapist nor a murderer. I'm asking if you're here alone in Monte Carlo" I'm not actually worried but I'm not really fond of talking to others a lot. That's why I have a few friends, by few maybe 4 or 5.
"Yeah, my mom is paying the rent of the house. She's travelling somewhere, I hell don't know" He chuckled and started throwing rocks on the blue waters of the beach.
"Hmm, moms are always doing shit we don't know. And dads are always out there doing other shit of their own" From the way he said it, he was right. Both my parents are out there, minding their own business. That's why I smiled in approval.
"That's why whenever they send a message or whatever, I don't really know if they are my parents or whatever. And I call it 'Casual text'" I never really met someone who laughs with my jokes but he did anyway. Or maybe whenever I made a joke for my friends they don't get it or it wasn't funny for them.
"Does your phone have a case?" He asked out of nowhere. I squinted my eyes towards him. "Uh... No"
Your phone isn't protected and you keep sending messages, not caring that it might fall. And I call it 'Unprotected text'" This time, It was my turn to laugh. I was laughing and I was hardly not stopping at all. I never thought of it but he did after telling my joke.
"You're quite a funny guy"
"Yeah, your jokes aren't funny" I punched him lightly on the arm and we were far behind my house.
"U-huh"
"U-huh" Then we started talking about random things we don't really know of how we got there but we continued talking anyway. We were having a casual conversation and I thought boys hate talking most of the time. But I actually enjoyed talking with him. Until I noticed the sun setting. "Oh! Soul... It's getting late and... I need to feed Nachos. I didn't noticed the time myself" He scratched his head and I was disappointed myself but I was glad I met a new friend.
"It is late... I also need to go"
"Well... It is nice that you got hit by my ball, Soul" I extended my arm, he stared at it at first but soon shook it with the crooked smile. "The pleasure to be hit is mine"
"Yeah" I turned around and then yelled my dog's name three times until he ran still looking as energized in the morning. I was already walking towards the house when...
"Wait!" He yelled. I quickly turned around when he was already running towards my direction.
"Yeah?"
"So we could get in touch... You know. Uh... What's your number?" I smiled at him and he handed me his phone which was already directed to the contacts. I typed my number and gave the cellphone back. I waved my hand and he waved back. As soon as I made it to my house, I took Nachos out for a bath.
I couldn't help myself but smile because it is my first time to make a new friend which doesn't require them hanging out with me because their friend is also my friend. My only trusted friend is Tsubaki and I fear that Liz and Patty are only hanging out with me because they are friends with Tsubaki. But not Soul. We share the same experience with our family and we also shared a few random stuff to talk about.
I couldn't help but glance on my phone every now and then, I didn't really know nor asked his phone number he just asked for mine. Which was strange that maybe he forgot or maybe he didn't care. Instead, I placed Nachos's food in a bowl and fed him.
My phone starts ringing, I quickly glanced at it and it was an unregistered number. So I figured it was Soul, so I answered anyway. "Hello?"
