Finally the pink elephant in the room was gone and Rachel and Richard were able to enjoy their time at the pier. They laughed and smiled, and had the best time riding rides, sharing a kiss at the top of the ferries wheel, feeding each other cotton candy, and Rachel just watched Richard play the games over and over till he won a prize for her. It was a good day although it started out rough they were able to get over the hump. When they left the pier they left hand in hand.

Saturday Came it was their last full day at the cabin and they spent it all day on the beach. It was nice because all you had to do was walk right outside the cabin and you were on the beach. Richard was on the beach setting up a blanket and an umbrella. He waited for Rachel before going in the water, she was taking a long time and Richard began to worry. When He got up from the blanket he ran right into Rachel. They bumped into each other, Rachel not being tall was face to face with Richard's six pack abs. She blushed and looked up.

"There you are, I was getting worried." He smiled taking Rachel's hand and walking her too their spot on the beach. "Want to go in the water?" Rachel shook her head no.

"You go ahead, I will go in later." Rachel said. Richard nodded and ran into the water getting wet but came back to the sand and landed on the blanket taking Rachel's book she was reading away.

"Come on Rachel, the water is great you have to get in." Richard said while the sea water dripped from his jet black hair.

"Not yet Richard." Rachel replied reaching to get her book from Richard, but he was not going to let her have it. Rachel climbed on top of him trying to get the book back but to no avail. They were now wrestling each other over the book. Richard being stronger Rachel had no chance, Richard took this moment to move positions and so he was on top of Rachel. Their eyes met and there was so much emotion between them, love, lust, sadness, anger, frustration, and loss. Richard leaned down and kissed Rachael on the lips. They soon began kissing passionately on the beach, their breathing becoming heavy. Richard's hand trailed to Rachel swim suit cover up and try to take it off her to reveal her bathing suit top. But Rachel's hands came down on Richards for him to stop, neither one letting go of each other lips. Richard took Rachel's hand and put them above her head and pinned them there. His free hand went under her beach dress, and his fingers traced her stomach.

"Richard." Rachel said breathlessly.

"You are at the beach your suppose to be in your bathing suit not keeping your long sleeve dress on." Richard said looking down at her still being on top of her. Rachel finally got her hands loose from Richards grip and she lightly pushed Richard off of her and turned away not wanting to look at him. He came up to Rachel and encircled his arms around her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. "Whats wrong he asked."

"I don't want you to see..." Rachel couldn't finish her sentence not wanting to say the next word.

"See what? You are beautiful." Richard said tilting his head to plant a kiss on her neck. Rachel finally turned around to look at him and she took of her dress. Rachel had scars and bruises. A lot of scars and bruises. They were all over her body. From her arms, from her stomach, to her legs. She looked sad, and ashamed. "You are still beautiful." Richard said pulling Rachel close to him and he laid her down on the blanket and he kissed her lips then kissed every scar on her arm. When Rachel began to laugh, he stopped. Rachel sat up.

"Ill race you to the water!" She said running to the water not giving Richard a chance to beat her. He watched his girl friend from behind in her small black bikini, her long purple hair in the sun. She was beautiful he thought to himself. He hated Rachel being so sad and ashamed of her body because of the scars her father inflicted on her, and Richard was going to do whatever he could to stop so she would never have another scar on her body again.
