Smashed By A Wave
Going to the beach on Saturday was the best way to begin the weekend. Lying on the sand during a cloudless day and surrounded by friends, I had to agree. Especially since it was mid-winter and the sun was keeping me warm.
"Has anyone ever told you that you look hot in a bikini?" one guy asked me. I shook my head and he grinned. "Well you do."
I fought to not roll my eyes at him and glanced away. He seemed to sense my annoyance and turned his attention elsewhere. I didn't want to go into another teenage relationship after my first one had fallen to shambles a year ago. My ex and his stupid ego.
My eyes found something that turned my thoughts away from my bonehead ex. Todd the Wraith was pulling me to my feet with a mischievous sparkle in his eyes.
"Hello, darling," he grinned, turning and pulling me with him towards the water. With a start, I realized that he was only wearing pants, leaving his chest bare. Oh. My. Gosh. He was attractive.
We dived into the ocean, laughing and splashing. It seemed like we were in our own little world. None of my friends even glanced over.
Todd somehow got me in a headlock and he laughed until we were both smashed over by a wave. We rolled over in the water and stood up together, laughing and soaked.
He seized me and kissed me with a sudden ferocity, pulling me close to his body. My head spun at the sensations of his cold lips and his warm tongue, and the feeling of our bare skin rubbing together. The pleasure was enough to make my head explode and I would have fallen if he wasn't holding me so tightly.
By the time he let go we were panting and I realized that we were waist deep in water. Our eyes met and a wave crashed into us, knocking us down.
I floundered in the salt water but by the time I got up, Todd was gone. A pang of disappointment sounded in my chest and I made my way over to my friends, lying back down in the sand. No one noticed me until I'd lain down, and when they did they frowned at my giddy smile, unable to guess what I was thinking.
I think I love Todd, I thought. As soon as it formed I realized it was true, and my smile grew wider.
