He'll Be Back
Chapter two
The sun hit his tanned face. He rolled onto his stomach to shade his eyes as he looked up and took in where he was. The water sparkled and made him squint. He lazily groped for the blue baseball hat hanging above him on the boom of the sail. He grabbed it and the sail bent toward the water and the hat slipped off sending the colorful fabric bouncing.
The dock that the Summer Breeze was tethered to looked weather worn and Seth sat on the graying wood surveying his collection of worldly possessions. He sighed and hopped onto the vessel and released the rope that held them to the Mexican marina's dock. He sailed south. The wind filled the sails and there was a spray hitting him from breaking the waves. Seth looked down at his cooler filled with bagels and saw Captain Oats sticking out of his green messenger bag. He suddenly pushed the rudder as far to the right as possible. The boat spun sharply and Seth ducked as the boom sung dangerously over his head. He straightened up and the sail stopped fluffing and filled with wind. He sailed northeast towards everything that he had determined so long ago that he hated.
She sat on the beach with Marissa in what had become their 9 day straight tanning marathon.
"Coop, I would give anything for a hot dog right now," she said implying that Marissa should get up and find a vendor and bring it back for her.
" Get it yourself,"
"Fine I will," Summer huffed and got up from her chair. She pulled on a sheer black skirt over her orange bikini and set off down the boardwalk.
" Could I have a foot long with mustard and ketchup?"
"That all ma'am?" the vender asked handing it to her.
" I want a diet coke too,"
"That comes to $ 5. 50 " Summer handed over the ten she held in her palm and received the change and the soda. She turned around fast and smacked into the person standing behind her. He was a hot surfer standing with his friends.
" Hey honey, careful," he said as Summer readjusted all that she was carrying, tucking the can into her elbow.
" I'm careful," Summer cooed and walked away with an extra sexy hair shake. She peeked over her shoulder and saw that the guy and his friends were staring. She inwardly smiled loving the control that she had over men and set off to find Marissa.
She plopped into her chair and ravenously ate her frank. She then cracked her coke and sat sipping. "Hey ladies, " the guy whom Summer had body slammed called starting a soccer game close by. Marissa and Summer watched the boys play shirtless in the sun. When the game had wound down and girls were getting ready to leave the guy stay behind to talk.
"Hey, I'm Kevin," he said giving a formal introduction.
"I'm Summer and this is Marissa" she said gesturing to Marissa.
"Do you ladies have plans this evening?" he asked.
"No, not yet,"
"Well I'm having some guys over and you two would be a welcome addition," Kevin said flirting.
"Well when you put it that way…" Marissa interjected as Summer hesitated, "Where and when?" she asked with a smile.
Summer lowered her shades even though it was getting dark and the girls walked back to the car.
She sat in the car and sighed. She hadn't expected to have to continue to fake flirt after the beach and although she like the game and the control, she was exhausted by the idea of having to meaninglessly pay with sex drives. She wasn't really even on the market. Where Chino had left Marissa and officially ended their relationship. Seth hadn't done her the honor of being frank and the future of their relationship was still unclear.
After six beers Summer sat talking to Kevin. She saw him slide closer on the sofa and she again hesitated. " Seth, you screwed up," She muttered and moved closer to Kevin. Before she could stop it they were making out. She had known that this was going to happen, but it still felt wrong. "Come on," Kevin urged as he held out his hand. They stood up together and walked up the stairs. They ended up on a bed making out under the covers. They stopped momentarily to let Kevin remove his shirt and to have him pull off Summer's polo. She sat wearing her bikini and rested on the headboard behind her. They started to kiss again and She tried to let her self get lost in the kiss but she couldn't.
" Kevin, I'm sorry." She whined into his mouth.
"What?" he asked surprised by Summer's resistance.
"I can't do this,"
"No sweat?" he said and found her shirt on the floor. He handed it to her and pulled on his own shirt. They went down stairs and Kevin found another girl and before ten minutes had passed they had headed up the steps. Summer sat on the low brick wall by the pool and waited until Marissa found her.
"I kaint drive for the next eit hours," Marissa slurred holding her keys out to Summer. She was not completely sober either but she didn't want to stick around. She pulled slowly out of the driveway and swerved her way back to her house. She opened the passenger side door and supported Marissa up the stairs into her room. Marissa's head was slumped over at a strange angle. Summer either didn't notice or choose to ignore her and changed into flannel pajama pants and a beater. Summer turned around in time to see Marissa throw up down her front. "Here, Coop," Summer said holding out her trash pail. Marissa blindly grabbed and Summer got up and handed her the pail. She then climbed into bed and fell asleep.
