Chapter 13: Day 4
We slept in late the next morning. It was our 4th and final day here in Santa Barbara, so now all we needed to do was figure out what we were going to do on it. Tonight after dinner we were going to leave so we only had this little time left.
After a soft gently kiss on his forehead and lips Vaughn soon came around and woke up.
"What time is it?" Vaughn mumbled with his eyes barely cracked open.
"10:00am."
"ahhhh." He moaned and covered his head with the pillow.
I grabbed the pillow and pulled it away from his grasp. "No, come on Vaughn it's our last day. It's time to get up and enjoy it." I pleaded while kissing pecks along his bare chest and up to his lips. "We need to do something fun!"
With that Vaughn's eyes lit up. "Fun?"
"yep, why you have any good ideas? I'm stuck."
"Yeah I have one or two of my own." He said as he sat up slightly, leaning over me, putting on hand on each side of me. He leaned down and kissed me, then started nipping my lower lip.
I laughed and pushed him away, "Vaughn! Come on I meant something outside of this bed."
"I have no problem with the couch!" Vaughn admitted. I just smiled.
"Vaughn." I plead, but he's already started unbuttoning his shirt that I was wearing. As much as I wanted to get out and do things on our last day I wasn't to sad with this alternative. When his fingers reached the last button I put my hands over his, "If we do this now you promise after we'll go somewhere special?" I had him exactly where I wanted him so I knew I'd get what I wanted. Without a second thought he kissed my lips and nodded. With that I smiled and took my hands off of his to let him continue.

Later we managed to get out of bed. After getting dressed we drove off into town where I wanted to go. I decided to go to the beach with him. That's where this vacation began so that's where I wanted it to end.
We setup a big beach towel under an umbrella on the beach. Some guys were starting a pickup game of volleyball so we asked to join. Teams were already set equal so Vaughn and I had to separate on to different teams, all the more fun.
We volleyed back and forth, just playing friendly but as the game progressed so did the play. Vaughn hit a hard one down to my side and I dove, unfortunately all I got was a mouth full of sand. Vaughn did a little victory dance with the guys, all cocky. I scrambled back up and talked to my team about getting set up for a spike.
It took a few points before the perfect all was served up. Jake, my team member, volleyed it up by the net. I leaped up, winding my arm up before I smacked the ball down right at Vaughn's head. He ducked out of the way and the ball hit the sand for the final victory point. Vaughn came up smiling in defeat.
"Oh dogg she got you!" Vaughn's team raved, laughing.
I gave him a 'don't mess with me' look and then happily received pats on the back of my teammates. When all the guys cleared out to the water I crossed under the net into Vaughn's arms. "Did you have to make me look bad?" he asked with a pout.
I shrugged, "Just getting' you back for my delicious mouth full of sand."
"Okay we're even now." He agreed and we shook on it, but I hid my left hand behind his back, crossing my fingers. (Vaughn did the same.)
We were hot from all the vigorous activity so we jumped in the cold ocean water. The water washed over our bodies immediately bringing our body temperature down. I swam around freely for a while just enjoying what freedom the ocean brings. No barriers, you can do anything, and forget everything.
I submerged from beneath the water. Broke the calm surface of the water washing it over my head and draining down my hair. Vaughn came over then and hugged me. "You're so beautiful," he whispered into my ear. I kissed him sweetly before splashing water into his eyes and swimming off.
"Hey!" he shrieked but I just chuckled. "I can't see." He squinted his eyes but couldn't open them more than that. He started to try to feel around, "Syd where are you?"
"Polo" I shouted from a distance.
At first I saw a confused look cross over his face but then he smiled. "Marco!"
I moved slightly over to the side, "Polo." Vaughn heard and turned towards my voice and started to swim over. "Marco?"
"Polo!" I shouted swimming off again. This chasing went on for a while before Vaughn became inventive. "Marco."
"Polo." I answered. Vaughn didn't just feel around this time though. Instead he disappeared underwater. I lost track of him and turned in circles looking for him. Suddenly hands grabbed my ankles. I shrieked and jumped before I realized it was just Vaughn.
He submerged from the water laughing. With his eyes still closed he put his gentle hands on my cheeks and used his thumbs to feel my lips. Then he lowered his face down to mine and brushed his lips across mine.
"See, no matter what I'll be able to find my way back to you." He vowed, finally opening his eyes.
My eyes started to water, he was just so sweet.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
We had enjoyed laying in the sun and playing Frisbee along the beach before heading home later that evening.
We had to pack our bags and get going after dinner. I showered first while Vaughn started packing his things. He had put his clothes in draws and things so it took him a while to pack from scratch and fit it all. I finished my shower when he was only half way done.
I walked into the bedroom fashioning a white towel wrapped snuggly. Vaughn couldn't help but whistle. I gathered my change of clothes and then threw a pillow at Vaughn before going back to change.
All cleaned up and changed I started to pack what few things weren't still in my suitcase. I travel so much for my job I've gotten into the habit of living out of my suitcase. Vaughn jumped in the shower quick as I packed the bags in the car and pulled the last of the food out of the cabinets for our dinner.
We both came out of the house together. Vaughn locked the door behind us and then we both stood hand in hand looking back at it, at the beautiful sight.
"Don't you wish such a peaceful, gorgeous place could be our home?" Vaughn says standing behind me and embracing me in his arms.
"Our?" I question with a smile. He can only blush. "My home is where ever you are." He answers. I just want to cry because I feel the same.
I turn and put my hands on his chest as he wraps me in his arms, pulling me close. "Just hold me for eternity." I whispered into his ear.
I wrote your name in the sand but the waves washed it away, then I wrote it in the sky but the wind blew it away, so I wrote it in my heart and that's where it will stay.
I pull back just enough to look him in the eye. "I love you."
His smile is huge. He picks me up and spins around in circles. "God Syd, how long I've waited to hear that. I've loved you since I laid eyes on you. I can't imagine my life without you!"
"Don't worry you won't have too." I promised.
We both smiled and we turned around from the house and walked hand in hand again towards the car. Though we weren't going to stay here forever we'd never forget what magic happened here. We'd fallen in love.
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; Don't walk behind me, I may not lead; Walk beside me, and just be my friend.-- Albert Camus
***Okay I was planning on writing more but I figured I'd end it here. Sorry about the long breaks between chapters, and the sudden ending but I'm just too busy with school and I needed to end the story. I hope it was still okay. Thanks for reading it!
