Vain Is My Middle Name

Chapter Six

Beach Day!

So the mermaid didn't work out. Bummer.

"Oh, well," I sighed," On to the next one..." I walked down the scientist's long winding path and onto the main road. I go could go to the beach. Girls in bikinis.. Back to town... Boring. Girls..in bikinis... Or towards the other farm.. Girls...

"To the beach we go!" I bellowed excitedly, skipping happily to the sandy land.

The beaches shore wasn't as busy as Mineral Town's. Couples sat on bright beach towels, kids ran around here and there, but there really wasn't many here.. Darn..

"Let's see.." I scanned the beach for one of the ladies Gray listed. Sitting on a seaweedy rock, far off on the beach's edge sat a red-headed girl. And standing in the beaches cool waves stood a small golden-brown-haired girl..

"I have always had a thing for red-heads.." I debated. Red head it is! I smiled and pulled my fitting black V-neck off, tossed it to the side and slipped my sandals off. I casually shuffled through the warm sand to the rock piles, where my girl awaited me.

"Hello," I smiled, sitting on a rock across from her.

She glanced at me, but then turned back towards the ocean, nodded and stared deeply at the dark waters.

"I'm Kai," I ginned.

She didn't even look my way this time,"Nami."

"That's a pretty name," I put myself into her view and smiled a sexy smile once more.

Not even a blush.

"Do you need something," she sighed, and pushed a wavy lock of hair aside.

"Just wanted to talk to a pretty girl," I beamed.

"Ah-ha.." She raised a thin brow, and her blue eyes humored me. "What do you really want?"

"Just a chat.."

"No, really," she frowned slightly.

"You," I winked.

She smirked," I think we both know you would prefer a prettier girl than me, and you're not my type. I like intelligent men, not arrogant fools."

"Ouch," I grinned," So, that's a no, huh?"

With a small chuckle, she picked up her small, tan rucksack, dusted the sand off her plaid shirt and bleach white shorts and walked off.

"Well then," I sat a moment,"On to the next."

The pretty, petite girl sat calmly in the cool waves, sifting her fingers through the wet sand.

"Hello," I plopped down in the water next to her and smiled wide.

"Hi," she smiled back, golden eyes shining. Finally, a nice one!

"Kai," I extended my hand to her.

"Oh," she blushed," I'm Lumina, pleased to meet you.."

"That's a beautiful name, for a beautiful lady," I stated, trying to be casual, yet still be romantic. I edged closer to her, and wrapped my tanned, muscular arm around her back. She blushed deeper, smiled, edged closer..

"You seem like an interesting girl.. So are you busy today?" I smiled suggestively.

"No, not at all," she dropped my gaze," did you have something in mind?"

"Well I thought we could spend some time together, you probably haven't heard but I am a very awesome guy, fun, the best kisser," I winked," and-"

"Hey, buddy, what do you think you're doing?" I turned to face a skinny, tan blonde headed guy, wearing gold jewelry and, from the look of it, clothes from the 60's or 70's..

"Something important," I scowled and resumed my list of attractive traits.

"Hey," the guy tapped me on the back.

"What?" I gritted between my flawless teeth," Can't you see this girl is hot, she likes me, and things might be going good? I might-"

"Dude, she's like 15," he laughed.

"What?" I feel dirty, dirty, dirty.. IM A PEDO!

"Uh, yeah.. She's into me too," he winked. "I don't blame her though, women are attracted to my tan, muscular bode, amazing personality, perfect smile and wavy, golden hair, y'know. You don't know how hard it is to be irresistible.." He grinned and walked towards the girl.

"Rock!" she swooned and clung to his side.

I stared. "Well, how old are you?"

"25," he grinned cockily.

"That's just as bad as me?" I scrunched my expression in disgust.

"Yeah, but I don't care," he shrugged, and continued down towards the rocks,"Come on, Lumina."

"Okay," she followed like a puppy," Bye, Kai.." She waved nonchalantly.

"Bye.." Wow, like the kid would pick him over me. I am definitely better than that. Geez, what's wrong with this town!

"I need a shower," I mumbled unpleasantly.

Bad, bad luck. I groaned again with the thought. I'm just having an off day.. Week.. Surely one of these freaks will fall for me, I mean, it's just pure craziness that eight have resisted my charms..
