Song: Here Comes Forever


Cassidy stood motionless under the shower head and let her bathing suit absorb the warm water. She watched as the spray of water from the outdoor shower dispersed the sand off her legs and onto the pavement. It felt good to be out of the rush of cool ocean water and under the stream of warm, salt-free H2O. She sighed, finally bringing her hands up to her scalp and running her fingers through her soaked hair. She felt grains of sand embed themselves under her nails as she rinsed. It didn't bother her, though. She looked up at the sky and tuned out the sound of the running water, focusing only on the beach goers around her. Of course they couldn't see her: there was a curtain separating them. But she could picture everything they were doing, just by their sounds. One boy had obviously just dropped his ice cream in the sand or let go of his helium filled balloon; his shrieks and cries proved devastation. Another girl chatted loudly to a friend. She must've just discovered a hot surfer.

Cassidy listened as the people walked by the outdoor showering area and toward the main part of the beach. Luckily, it wasn't too hectic and loud. Most people were busy at the water's edge. She wiggled her toes as the sounds quieted down and felt even more sand grind against her skin. She would be working for days trying to remove all of this sand. She reached for the knob, ready to turn the water off, when she heard another sound come from just beyond the curtain. An angelic sound. A beautiful singing voice. "Oh, well I know that I'll make it...never put my head down..." Cassidy froze, her hand grasping the knob. Was she hearing what she thought she was hearing?

The voice was fading, so she quickly shut the water off and peeked out of the curtain. Yup. There he went. She stared at his blonde hair as he walked away from her, toward the more populated part of the beach. He almost glowed in the sun and heat, his pink bathing suit bright against his tan skin. His muscles. The way he walked. Cassidy scrambled to wrap her towel around her wet body and flip her hair so that it looked somewhat presentable. She couldn't pass up an opportunity to meet Ross Lynch no matter what she looked like. She ditched her flip flops and slapped her feet against the pavement until she reached the sand. Then, all of her efforts of removing the sand from her body became useless. Sand flew out from under her feet as she kicked along, catching up to Ross. It was extremely difficult to run in the uneven surface of the sand. She trudged along until finally, he was within her reach. She darted to get in front of him and introduce herself when... SMACK! She fell right on her face in the sand.

Ross halted and turned towards her. It took him a moment to realize what had just happened, but when he did, he scrambled to help her up. "Are you okay?" he gasped, his fingers wrapping around her wrist.

She paused, staring at his hand. He was touching her. Slowly, she peeled her eyes away from it and looked up at him. The sun was framing him, his silhouette towering over her. She could still see his eyes, though. His shimmering, bright eyes. She couldn't tell if she saw happiness or concern in them. Maybe both.

He pulled her up and smiled at her, realizing that she was alright. "That was quite a...fall."

Cassidy brushed the sand off her body and nonchalantly spit some grains out of her mouth. She took a deep breath, flustered, and smiled, "Uh, yeah it was."

He blushed. Or suddenly got sunburned, she couldn't tell. She assumed the sun didn't work that fast. "So what were you doing, running like that?"

Cassidy looked at him, "I just wanted to make sure that you knew your bathing suit was ripped in the back."

Ross's eyes widened. He immediately glanced behind him before he realized she was bluffing him. She laughed, excited that he fell for her corny joke. He turned back towards her, his eyes jokingly dark, "Not funny."

She could see the smile flirting on his face and understood that he wasn't serious.

"You're funny," he stated, shifting his feet in the hot sand, his grin obvious now. He glanced in direction she ran from, "Are you here with anyone?"

She paused for a moment, suddenly realizing that she was actually having a conversation with a shirtless Ross Lynch. "Just my family," she pointed behind her, "We're staying at a place up the road."

He nodded, his gaze looking past her at the water. "Do you maybe wanna go surfing?"

He was nervous. It was so obvious. She smiled, "I'm not that good at surfing."

He returned his eyes to hers, "How 'bout boogie boarding?"

Cassidy bit her lower lip and smiled, "Sure."


"You ready?" Ross yelled to Cassidy over the rush of the waves. He was laying on his stomach on the boogie board, paddling away from the beach alongside her. His blonde hair was dripping wet as he looked at her, grinning from ear to ear. "This will be our last wave!"

Cassidy nodded, never realizing how much fun she could actually have. She literally spent the last two hours with this boy, tumbling around in the ocean's waves. She squinted her eyes against the sunset, feeling its heat on her skin. The water made her cool, but the sun had scorched parts of her body. She probably looked like a mess, but she didn't mind. He didn't seem to either, she noticed, by the way he looked at her. She felt her heart jump and melt, at the same time.

"Here it comes!" His voice broke her thoughts and brought her back to reality. She turned and faced the oncoming wave, bracing herself against its force. Together they turned to face the shore, paddling and glancing back at the strengthening tide of water. When they felt the water rise on their toes, they glanced at each other, expressions of joy.

"Here comes forever!"

Cassidy's heart skipped a beat as the waves plunged her forward, her body and board skidding across the waters surface. She let the movement take her wherever it wanted. Ross liked her. She didn't care what happened next.

Suddenly, she was rolling onto the sand, seashells digging into her flesh. She couldn't help but to laugh, feeling ridiculous as she looked through her tangled hair and imagined what she looked like to other people. She turned and saw Ross laughing right beside her, having the same thought. Neither of them were very good at boogie boarding. Or maybe they just didn't care.

Ross propped himself up on his elbow, still laughing, and looked at her. "You look gorgeous." She didn't detect any sarcasm in his voice, though. He seemed serious.

She giggled and pushed herself up into a sitting position. "Thank you," she giggled almost breathlessly. She flicked her hair out of her face and looked at him. Dang, he was adorable.

He bit his lip and stared at her, his smile fading from his face. She could tell he was deep in thought. About what, she didn't know. She frowned.

"You alright?"

He simply nodded, failing to smile. He glanced out at the water as a wave came crashing in. They both felt its spray on their skin. He licked his lips and glanced down at the sand between them. He didn't look at her when he scooted closer to her: he just continued to stare at the ocean. Cassidy furrowed her eyebrows as she watched him, his mind working like crazy. She was confused. What was he doing? She glanced in the direction that he was looking and saw a wave forming far out in the water. She felt his eyes on her again.

He was smiling.

Extremely baffled, she raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing?"

He didn't say a word. He just glanced down at her lips quickly before glancing back at the water. She felt her heart begin to race, a blush forming on her face. Fear, anticipation, confusion, excitement...her brain was flipping through thoughts a mile a minute.

The wave was getting closer.

Ross turned back to her, his smile wide. He locked eyes with her and said, "It's not rain, but it'll do." All of a sudden, his lips were on hers and the wave came crashing into shore, spraying droplets of water all of their bodies. He kissed her passionately for moments after the wave. Then, he pulled away, his face still close to hers. He grinned.

She was speechless. She wanted to say something witty, something cute. She wanted to just pull him in and kiss him again. But she couldn't do anything but sit there, grinning like a fool.

"You see what I did there?" he asked softly. When she didn't say anything, he continued, "I kissed you by the lake, pouring rain."

Cassidy giggled, her face hot. "It's not a lake," she managed to say.

Ross laughed, his smile so bright and beautiful. "Oh, shut up. I tried."

She giggled again, leaning in to give him a kiss on his cheek. Her heart was pounding so loud, she thought he would be able to hear it. She didn't care. Ross had just kissed in her in the most romantic way possible. Nothing else mattered.

And this was only the beginning.
