Apricot Swirls
By Mythical Dreamer
Author's note: This interesting incident did happen to a person I know, but after this person finished talking, both of them went their separate ways. Maybe they will meet again in the future. (I just jazzed it up a little) And yes, the hotel I talk about does exist.
Chapter 1
"Yum! Apricot scones are my favorite breakfast food- even if they are fattening!" said Anzu as she walked along the Chinese seaside at Qingdao. Her family was on vacation for the summer. It was hot and humid outside, so Anzu only wore a tank top and a miniskirt; she had also put her hair up. Since the rest of her family was visiting their relatives- the ones that Anzu hated, Anzu stayed at the hotel- Sea View Garden. This place was like fairyland, with huge suites filled with free stuff- cute little animals, perfume bottles, fruit, crackers and candy. (Of course, the room was expensive, but this was a once in a lifetime vacation!)
After flipping through the channels, and seeing that nothing much was on- only TV series that were already in their 4th or 5th episodes, Anzu decided to go out to the sea. So now, she was trying to walk on the algae-covered ring of rocks that led out into the ocean and back. It was hard and she kept slipping. Maybe that's why he noticed her.
As Anzu was walking along, trying not to slip, she heard laughter from behind her. Looking back to the beach, she saw many Chinese people pointing and laughing at her. "It's not funny! I could slip and die, and they laugh!" In the midst of her fuming, Anzu stepped on an especially slippery rock and would have tumbled headfirst into the ocean, if not for a strong hand that grasped one warm arm and another that steadied her waist.
