I was sleeping in my bed in the middle of the night. Fuck! What was I thinking? I was actually falling for Tanner. Out of all the guys in the world. Tanner. I wonder what Bradin is thinking. I know he's extremely mad at me. If he ever found out about Tanner and my date, I'm screwed. I heard someone close my balcony door. What the hell? I shifted myself on my bed to face the balcony.

"Tanner?" I said.

"Yeah, your knight in shining armor or knight in shining boxers and a beater." I laughed.

"SH! My parents are downstairs in their room." I said sitting up. He came into my bed under the covers. He leaned against the wall and I leaned against his chest. "What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to see you. So, I woke up and went here. I am very comfortable in this position." He kissed my forehead.

"You're really not supposed to be here. You're supposed to be in you're house, in you're bed, sleeping."

"Well, I took a detour. Now, I'm here with you." I smiled. I moved my right leg over his legs so I was sitting up on his legs. "What are you doing?" I put my finger over his lips.

"Shh." I kissed him deeply. So deep that he could feel it. I could feel his hands on my lower back holding on to me whenever I got his weakness. I started to kneel up and bring my hands to his face so I can deepen the kiss even more. I felt his hands on my waist again trying to push me forward. He broke the kiss.

"Uh, wow." He was out of breath and breathing hard. So was I. I realized I made a mistake, but I can't go back in time and fix it. I started to lie down on my bed with Tanner's arms around me. "That was amazing." I was trying to catch my breath. "Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, that was just. Wow, I, uh. Speechless." What was I thinking? I was crazy for doing that. I gave Tanner what he wanted, well sort of, and now he was going to leave me. What was wrong with me? I started to fall asleep in his arms. I woke up the next morning and he wasn't there. I knew it. I knew he'd leave me and never come back. Why'd I walk into this? I found a note by my bedside. It said my name on it. It read:

Hey beautiful! That was great. I know when you read this I'll be gone by know. I didn't want my parents worrying when they wake up. What you'd think, I'd leave you? Never, I told you, your different from all the others. You think I got what I wanted and so I'd leave. Nope. I love ya babe! Maybe we can hang out later. I love you!

Love Always,

Tanner

P.S. You look cute when you sleep. I love you.

Um, wow. I'd never think he'd say that. I went to my closet to find something to wear. I finally decided and slipped on my green bikini and my boardshorts. I slipped on my flip-flops and grabbed my surfboard. I knew Bradin would be up at this hour surfing. I took a piece of toast out of the toaster and ate it on my way out. I went to the beach and sat there for a moment.

"What are you doing here?" Bradin asked. I stood up wiping sand off my shorts.

"I think we need to talk." I said.

"There's nothing to talk about. I saw you and Tanner on a date together. The thing is Emily, I love you with all my heart and you going out with anther guy would hurt me, but if you're happy I'm happy. I'm only mad because the guy you chose is Tanner. Out of all the other guys Em, you had to choose Tanner. That's the only decision that I wouldn't approve of."

"Bray!" I argued back. "That's not fair. He could change!"

"Listen to me. If you give him whatever he wants after that he'll just leave you."

"What if I gave him what he wanted Bray? What if he didn't leave me?"

"Then I'd actually trust you with him. I still would think of him as the same person." He started walking away in disgust with his surfboard.

"Hey! Come back here!" He came back.

"What?"

"You want to surf or not?" He smiled. He loved to surf and I knew that.

"Yeah, but let's just not talk about this subject right now." We started paddling out and just sat on our boards. "So, do you really like him?" He asked.

"I don't know. I guess I do." We were left in an awkward silence until someone else came paddling up to us. Tanner.

"Hey babe. Kansas." Bradin rolled his eyes.

"Hey Em, I'll see you later, ok?" Bradin said.

"Yeah, ok." Bradin started paddling back to shore and left me alone with Tanner.

"So, what's up?" I asked.

"Nothing, you want to go to my place and hang out?"

"Sure." We started paddling to shore. We got out of the water and started walking toward Tanner's house. When we got there we set our boards in the garage and went inside to the kitchen. I sat on the counter while he got water.

"Want anything?" He asked. I nodded my head no. He came up to me and put his hands on my waist.

"Hi." I said. I leaned my forehead against his.

"Hi." He answered back. We both smiled because we knew what was going to happen next. I put my hands on his face. He was shirtless to the fact he was surfing and just took off his wet suit. All I had on was my bikini top and shorts.

"Are you even ready for this?" I asked. "I mean, we just did it this morning, are you sure you're ready for the intensity?"

"We did it this morning. Why, was that not the most intense you can do?" I nodded no.

"Nope, that was actually the first time."

"Amazing, your purely amazing." I smiled and kissed him deeply. We started making out again, more intensely than this morning. We heard someone come through the garage and stopped.

"Crap!" I looked at my watch it was twelve and I wanted to go over to Bradin's house and have lunch with him. "Hey, I have to go. I'll see you at school." I gave him quick kiss before I left and passed through the garage to get my board. I left and went over to my house to make a quick change. I slipped on a denim mini skirt and a black Rufio short sleeve shirt. I slipped on a pair of my black and red checkered vans and got some of my stuff and left.
