Richard POV
Everything was fucking perfect until now. After leaving Kori's place and showering, Vic had texted me about his beach plans with Gar. I knew Kori would be going; I called Gar right away to convince him to let me take Kori to the beach. I knew he would immediately say no, but after talking to him more and telling him how genuine my feelings for Kori are, he finally agreed.
"You're intentions sound pure, man, but if you hurt her, I'll kill you," Gar said.
"I know," I replied, "Thanks again, Gar," I said and hung up. I know I couldn't promise Gar I wouldn't hurt Kori, but I would damn well do my best not to hurt her. I didn't want Kori to be another notch on my belt; I wanted her to be mine forever. Fuck when did I become so soft? What was she doing to me? Spending the night with her only made me want her more and more. I glance at my phone, don't want to make a bad impression by being late.
I decided to take my G-wagon today; I wanted Kori to be comfortable since the beach was about an hour's drive. Should I park in the front so she can see me? What if she saw me and decides to run for the hills? I decided against it and decided to park somewhere out of view from her door. I turn the car off and get out to stand by the passenger side. I still had a few minutes to kill and suddenly felt awkward just standing there. I grab my phone from my pocket and start playing Candy Crush to kill some time. I hear footsteps coming closer, and I look up, and my breath stops. Kori is walking toward me, looking like some beach goddess. Her hair looks different but in a good way, and she had on a white cover-up which makes me wonder what type of swimsuit is she wearing underneath. Get your mind out of the gutter, Grayson!
What are you doing here?" she asked.
I put my phone in my pocket and try not to chuckle. She is so damn cute when she is mad. I love the way her nose scrunches up, and her face turns slightly red, "Can't you tell?" I replied and motion to my beachwear, "I'm your ride," I said.
She frowns and curses under her breath. "You've got to be kidding me," she said.
I grin, "Your carriage awaits, m'lady," I said and open the passenger door for her.
She sighs, "I hate my life," she replied as she climbs into the G-wagon. I let out a sigh of relief. I was afraid she was going to tell me to piss off and not go.
I get into the driver's side and push the start button, "We got about an hour drive; feel free to get comfortable," I said.
"I'm fine," she said and crosses her arms.
I chuckle at her adorable pouting face, "Do you want to plug in your phone so we can listen to your music?" I asked.
She looks at me in shock and which makes me if I said something wrong. "Um, sure," she said.
"Here," I said as I hand her my USB cord. "You can plug your phone in here to keep it charged; the bottle of water in the cup holder is yours too, by the way," I added.
"Thanks, "she said and smiles. She plugs in her phone, and I hear Blinding Lights come on through the car's speakers.
The drive to the beach was incredible! This was the first time I've ever had a conversation with an interesting girl. Kori wasn't just a pretty face; she was intelligent, beautiful, and funny. We had more in common than I thought. For example, we both believe that Harry Potter books and movies are good in their own way. We like most of the same music, although I did tease her for the amount of Justin Bieber on her playlist. When we parked at the beach, I was sad our alone time was coming to an end. When we find the others, Kori goes over to where Rachel is. I can't help but stare after her debating if I should put this cooler down ad help Vic set up the chairs. As I am about to make a decision, Kori removes her cover-up. Fuck! I drop the handle of the cooler and stare at Kori in awe. I hear Gar howl in pain; I must have dropped the cooler on him, but I am too distracted by Kori's perfect peach ass in the bikini she was wearing.
"OW! DUDE, YOU DROPPED THE COOLER ON MY FOOT" I turn around and see Gar hopping up and down, holding his foot.
"Sorry, man… I was distracted," I said, and I still am. Kori sits down on her beach chair and starts putting sunscreen on her long tan legs. My throat goes dry as about a million X-rated fantasies run through my head.
Kori gives me a confused look, then shrugs and continues her slow torture of putting on sunscreen.
"I need a cold drink," I said. And a cold shower. I grab a beer from the cooler and take a big gulp.
Teresa- Tana, whatever her name is, comes over to check on Gar. That's when I notice some fucker coming over to Kori. She looks at him confused, and this bastard is drooling at the sight of Kori's breasts. I'll kill this fucker. I walk over and hear this bastard flirting with Kori.
"Actually, babe, I'm here to help you," he said, "Name is Adonis, as in the hottest guy here. How about you join me for a bonfire later and some lovin?" he said.
Kori gags, "No, thank you," she said. Clearly not interested in him, and I'm secretly glad.
"Oh c'mon, babe, I can show you a good time," he said.
"She said no, so I suggest you take the hint and leave," I scowl, standing in front of Adonis. He shrinks back a bit, then tries to puff out his chest to make himself bigger.
"Do you mind, rich boy? I am trying to get with the lady here?" Adonis said. I clench my fist, ready to punch him in the face.
"I invited Adonis to play volleyball with us, but we need one more player," Terra interrupts.
"I'll play," I said coldly. I could kick his ass on the court then punch his face in.
"Really Awesome!" Terra said and claps. I shake my head. I told Gar something about this chick is off.
"Let's see what you got, pretty boy," Adonis said, challenging me.
I smirk; his ass is about to get served.
I walk over to the court, "Dick, you're on our team!" Gar said.
"I'll serve," I said aggressively.
"Uh sure, man, "Gar tosses me the ball and heads to the front where Vic is. I scan the other side of the court. I see Terra and some other chick, and then in the back, I see my target, Adonis.
"Rachel, your referee," Gar said.
Rachel scowls, and I hear a familiar giggle. I look over to the side of the court and see Rachel and Kori sitting there.
"Ready serve," Rachel said in a monotone.
I throw the ball up in the air and punch it. It goes soaring past the 2 girls and lands right next to Adonis.
"POINT!" Gar yelled, "Nice serve, Dick, Rachel, are you keeping track?" he asked.
"Of course," Rachel replied, not looking up from her book.
"You serve, babe," Terra said and gives the ball to Gar.
"Thanks, babe," he said and then tosses the ball to me, "Really knock it out this time, Dick," Gar said.
"He only got lucky the first time!" Adonis yelled, "Hey Kori! Watch me score more than just points with this next serve," he said.
Rage consumes me as I throw the ball up. It's as if everything that happens next is in slow motion.
Kori POV
Everything happens so fast. After Adonis makes another vulgar comment at me and laughs, the next thing I see is the volleyball hitting his face. Crack. Adonis falls to the ground screaming and clutching his nose. Blood gushes through his fingers.
"My nossseee," he said, and Terra and her friend immediately rush to his side. "You did dis on purpose," Adonis said and points a bloody finger and Dick. I notice his nose is starting to swell, which would explain why his speech is off.
"We need to get him medical attention now," Terra said, "Gar will you help me carry him?" Terra asked.
Gar hesitates, "Fine, but I'm doing this for you, not for him," Gar said as he walks underneath the net and helps Adonis up. "Dude, you deserve this," Gar said as he and Terra help him walk toward the medical tent.
"Game over, I guess, "Vic said, "We still win!" Vic said.
I look over at Dick, who is still standing there frozen, "Are you ok?" I asked and reached for his hand. He flinches at my touch and looks at me. His eyes are cold, and his expression is unreadable. He takes my hand and places it by my side.
"I'm going for a walk," he said and turns and starts walking away from me. I hold the hand that touched his, missing his sudden warmth.
