Hey, so just in case you didn't know, i'm trying to update both of my stories at least once a week, so here you are!
Dan and Zoe walked down the beach hand-in-hand, observing the bustling world around them.
Zoe watched as the kids played in the sand and smiled at their childish innocence as they collected seaweed and shells to decorate the sand monuments, watching as they ran out to sea, then shrieked and ran away from it as it came near, laughing all the while.
A surge of happiness ran through her as she walked down the beach. Gently she squeezed Dan's hand, and he turned to smile at her, and then pointed to a small spot on the beach, sheltered by a small cliff, the sun shining down on it. 'How about there?' He asked.
Zoe smiled. 'Perfect.' she replied, and began to walk over. She took her shoes off and wriggled her toes in the sand, enjoying the way it sifted through them, before reaching in her bag and pulling out some sandwiches.
She threw one to Dan. 'Catch!' she called. He looked around quickly for the sandwich and caught it in both hands triumphantly. He came and sat down next to her and stretched out his legs in front of him.
The sun shone down on them, warming their backs as they sat and talked.
As the day went on, the sun began to set, creating strange shadows and emitting a soft glow on the now nearly empty beach. The tide began to come in, and reluctantly Zoe realised they'd have to go.
Dan stood up and held out his hand for her. Gratefully, she took it and pulled herself up. She gazed into his eyes, the red sky lighting up the beach with a soft, earthly glow. Her hands went around his neck, and he placed his arms around her waist.
Leaning forward, he kissed her on her lips. She curled his hair gently between her fingers and hoped they could freeze the moment.
Eventually they both pulled back for air. She smiled at him and then let out a laugh at the state of his hair. She reached up and smoothed it down before looking back at it in approval.
They began to walk down the beach talking about anything they wanted to. At some point he put his arm around her waist. She did the same to him, and they carried on walking. As it became cooler, Zoe realised she'd left her coat at home.
Dan noticed her shivering and handed her his jacket. She took it gratefully.
Tom and Aneisha watched Dan and Zoe walk down the beach happily. 'Finally, they've got together.' said Aneisha in relief. Her and Tom had recently been to a drama workshop and had noticed the couple on their way back.
They weren't 'spying', just looking out for their friends...right? Tom watched as Dan handed her his coat and frowned.
Why did he do that?
When he asked Aneisha she sighed. 'It's called being a gentleman Tom.' she said pointedly. He frowned. 'So he'd do that to everyone?' Aneisha sighed.
'No Tom.' she said in despair. 'It's 'cause he loves Zoe.' Tom grinned. 'he LOVES her?' he asked, raising an eyebrow. Aneisha shrugged. 'I hope so, but they both definitely like each other more than friends.' she said pointing to them. Tom watched as they kissed and grinned. 'I never thought they'd kiss.' he chuckled.
Aneisha raised an eyebrow. 'Do you remember when they first kissed and we all watched? I think Frank and Stella nearly had a fit.' she laughed then turned back to the couple.
