Sorry about not updating frequently, I've finally recovered from the flu and will try to update everyday like I used to. Anyway, on with the story! :P
As agreed Sonic had kept his word about trying swimming. Well not exactly swimming... I told him to try bodyboarding with me, which he liked that idea better than swimming since he'd have a place to get out of the water. Am I a little bodyboard obsessed? Maybe... but you would be too if you ever caught your first wave on that kind of board. Anyways, Sonic and I went back to the lobby to meet up with Tails, Cream and Shadow. I got to thinking that Sonic needs a board- since he obviously does't have one- I thought about Shadow's board.
'I'm probably going to regret asking Shadow, but...' I attempted to ask Shadow my question as the he walked up towards me, "Shadow?"
"Yes Rose?" Shadow replied while watching Sonic standing beside me
"Could I possibly borrow your board?" I started as he walked up towards me, "It's for Sonic, he wants to learn to bodyboard." I finished as Shadow glared at the cobalt hedgehog who smiled shyly. He turned back to my face after scowling at Sonic and I smiled a gentle smile. He shook his head in despair and finally replied, "Fine, but only because of you Rose."
"Yay!" I exclaimed cheerfully jumping around as we exited the double doors. I practically ran to the beach while mostly everyone tried to keep up. Sonic was able to keep up with me-of course- and we made it to an empty part of the beach in no time flat. "Well come on Sonic!" I yelled already in the water as Sonic looked down regretting his decision. When we made it in the water I taught Sonic, who was calm 50% of the time (yea not much), and showed him how to lay on the board. "-and if you want to catch the wave, gently press down on the nose of the board. Nothing to it!" I explained demonstrating it to him. "O-okay. I-I-If you s-s-say so." The cobalt hedgehog said and gulped. As I caught a wave Sonic had managed to get the hang of it fast. "For a hedgehog who doesn't like swimming, you catch on fast at bodyboarding." I complimented him as he looked like he swelled up with pride. "I am the fastest thing alive." He said, his cocky nature kicking in, not paying attention to a wave that ended up splashing him. I laughed as he frowned deeply because of the water that landed on him.
If I had cared to watch a certain hedgehog with red eyes staring at us, I probably would've seen the slight jealousy in the mysterious hedgehog's eyes. He seemed to have stared down the cobalt hedgehog, if he cared to look, fire raging in the already red eyes. "S-shadow?" Tails asked stuttering a bit. "What Tails?" Shadow replied coldly and turned towards the frightened fox. Shadow had never felt this kind of rage towards a person before, not even the new found emotion he had towards Rose. He wondered why is he feeling these things towards her, and how he is enraged by seeing her with Sonic laughing.
"I-I-I was, uh, w-w-wondering why y-you're staring at S-sonic like t-t-that." Tails bravely asked then shortly after gulped as Shadow stared at him with a cold stare.
"Like what Tails?" Shadow asked not meaning to seem angry. The double-tailed fox shook his hands and head saying, "Nothing, nothing. Nevermind, must've been my imagination." He let Shadow continue whatever he was doing and continued to talk to Cream about her birthday.
Soon the day ended for the beach and Sonic and I raced back to land, ready to go to the hotel rooms. As I was walking with Sonic I felt a arm wrap around my shoulder. The ebony hedgehog looked down at me, as our eyes met I blushed and turned to continue talking to Sonic. "So Sonic how was your first time in the water?" I asked curiously and Shadow's arm still around me. "It was great Ames, I'd love to do it again" He stated then added, "-as long as it's with you though."
"Awe thanks Sonic." I said blushing from the compliment while also feeling Shadow's grip on me tighten a little. When we had walked up to the double doors of the hotel I said goodbye to 3 of my friends and walked back with a certain jealous ebony hedgehog.
"Rose?" Shadow asked as he opened the door for me.
"Yes Shadow?" I reply as I entered the room and head towards the bathroom to change.
"Do you, well..." Shadow started as I looked at him puzzled, "never mind it's a stupid question."
"Okay?" I say as I change out of my wet bathing suit in the bathroom and make my way to my bed. I plopped down onto it and complained, "I'm soooooo hungry..."
Shadow rolled his eyes and sat next to me. 'This is going to be a long evening...' He thought and suggested something to me.
TBC...
Thanks for reviewing and for those few Sonamy fans I threw a small amount of Sonamy-for now.
Anyways, until next Chapter, see ya later! :P
