Revealing Too Much

Here's the next installment. I really like writing this story, and I hope you all like reading it. By far one of the longest chapters I've written for the story. I'm currently on part six so yeah as far as I know I'm going to finish this story, except it doesn't seem like anyone's really reading it so shrugs. Anyways if you do read it enjoy.

Part Four: Caught In The Rain

'Oh fuck it' Alex thought to herself, a grin covering her face.
"But I mean, you never know what'll happen. So maybe everything'll work out." Alex said, resting her elbows on the counter, leaning forward. A smile crossed Summer's lips, "Let's go do something, the night's still young."
"Summer it's almost midnight."
"What do you have a curfew Ms. Kelly?" Summer joked, playfully poking her.
Alex grabbed her finger, "If you do that again I'm going to bite it off." She threatened.
"Do it." Summer taunted, pushing her finger into Alex's face. Alex grabbed the finger and put it in her mouth, ready to bite before Summer pulled her hand back.
"Okay, okay! Sorry." Tears from laughing were falling from Summer's cheeks.
"Gosh Summer your such a crybaby. Now let's get out of here." Alex said walking around the bar to where Summer sat.

"So what're we doing?" Summer questioned while they were in the parking lot.
"Well nothings really open, so that leaves…" Alex trailed off.
"Leaves what?"
"I don't know, I was letting you fill in the blank." Alex smiled.
"What do you like to do?" Summer asked leaning against Alex's jeep.
"Surf."
"Then let's go surfing."
"Summer you can't go surfing in the middle of the night."
"Why?"
"Because you just can't. It's not safe."
"Fine, well its your turn to come up with an idea then."
"Actually I think I have one. Are you up for going into the water?"
"Is it going to be really cold?"
"At first, but it'll warm up."
"Are you lying?"
Alex's smile grew even bigger, and she shook her head, "But we gotta get changed. Do you want to go home and get a bikini? Or just borrow one of mine?"
"I can just borrow one of yours."
"Okay, then we should go to my apartment. Do you want to just park your car there? Wait where's your car?" Alex asked looking around the empty lot.
"I walked here cause I had to talk to Seth earlier."
"Oh okay, let's go then." Alex said opening the car door for her.

After Alex parked the car, and was just about to unlock the door when Summer stopped her.
"Aren't we going to wake up your roommate?" She asked. Alex shook her head, it amazed her how considerate Summer was. It seemed everyday she learned something new about the smaller girl.
"She moved out."
"When did that happen?" Summer questioned while Alex opened the door.
"This afternoon, she said she was going to stay with her boyfriend since she was there most of the time anyways." Alex said walking into the apartment.
"It doesn't look like she took anything with her." Summer replied looking around the room.
"Yeah she didn't really have anything here just clothes, all her stuff was pretty much already at his place."

Alex walked into her bedroom and came back with a red bikini and a pair of board shorts. "Here." She said handing them to Summer.
"Why are there board shorts? I thought we weren't going surfing."
"We're not, but it won't hurt to wear them."
"Hey are these clean?" Summer asked sheepishly.
"No Summer they're not. I like to wear things and not wash them." Sarcasm laced Alex's voice as Summer laughed and made her way to the bathroom.

While Summer was in the bathroom getting changed, Alex went to the bedroom and put on a black bikini and a pair of navy board shorts. Summer emerged minutes later, her hair tied in a pony tail.
"We look hot." Summer stated, looking at herself and Alex.
"Well that wasn't random at all."
"Do you have a camera?"
"Yeah, it's right there." Alex said pointing to the dresser behind Summer.

Summer turned around and picked up the camera, pressing the power button she motioned for Alex to come over to her. Summer threw her free arm around Alex's neck, and held the camera at arms length away angling it from above.
"Smile!" Summer said giggling. Alex tried to concentrate on smiling, but the fact that so much of their skin was touching made it hard for her to think clearly. It took awhile for the camera to take the picture, which both girls were happy about because it meant they could continue to have contact without it being unnecessary.

"So do you want to go now?" Alex asked.
"Oh right, yeah." Summer replied pulling her arm off Alex and putting the camera back. Alex grabbed the surf board leaning against the wall and told Summer to grab a towel and sweatshirt. They decided to walk to the beach, seeing as how it was close and the weather wasn't too cold. Once they arrived, Summer put the towel and sweatshirt on the sand while Alex watched the calm water.

"What're we going to be doing?" Summer asked breaking Alex out of her daze.
"Honestly? Nothing much. Floating."
"Floating?"
"It's really relaxing." The taller girl said simply.
"You only brought one board."
"I know."

A few moments passed where neither said anything, they stood watching the water and breathing in the salty air.
"I have to tell you something." Summer said.
"What might that be?" Alex asked turning to face her.
"I can't swim."
"Really?" Alex questioned clearly amused.
"Really."
"Okay then I'd better let you float."

Alex started walking into the water, when it was waist deep she looked back at Summer who was still standing on the beach. "You coming?"
"I can't do it." Summer yelled out to her.
Alex laughed to herself, "Come on Summer, it's not even that deep."
"Can I just watch?"
"No, come on! I'm going to come get you." Alex made her way back towards Summer. "Summer come on, I'm right here. Nothing's going to happen."
"Alex, I can't do it." Summer backed up.
Alex held out her free hand, "Come on Summer, I'm right here. Nothing's going to happen." Hesitantly Summer took Alex's hand, both girls felt a slight shock.

Alex led her into the water, tugging her hand at times to get her to continue. When the water was waist deep once again, Alex put the board down.
"Look Summer, the board floats. Get on it."
"What?" Summer asked, eyes wide.
"Get on the board."
"No way."
"I'm right here, nothing's going to happen. Just sit on the board, and I'll even hold it. The important thing is to remain calm. When I tell you to lie down, lie down okay?"
"Alex, I really don't want to do this."
"Just trust me Summer. Can you do that?" Alex's eyes bore into hers, and for the life of her Summer couldn't understand why she nodded her head, and proceed to get onto the board.

"I'm going to push you out a little more, okay?" Alex said, getting a firm grip on the board. "Do you still want me to hold your hand?" Summer nodded her head, taking a hold of one of Alex's hands. Alex pushed from the nose of the board, while Summer watched her intently, trying hard not to focus on the dark water.

Summer's grip on Alex tightened as they made they're way out farther.
"Okay, lay down." Alex instructed, moving around to the side of the board to keep the contact between them. Summer obeyed, and tried not to move around too much for fear of falling off. "Relax." Alex whispered into her ear. Summer felt goose bumps travel down her body from the close contact of Alex's mouth on her ear.
"I'm going to let go now okay?"
Summer shook her head, "Please don't." She said barely inaudible.
"Okay, okay." Alex tried to keep her mind and body at ease, because any sudden movements could flip the board and knock Summer off. Summer closed her eyes, and tried to even out her breathing. Her heart was beating twice as fast, not just because she was floating on a board that could potentially flip over, but also because there was a blonde girl holding her hand. Alex wanted to badly lean over and kiss the smaller girl, she looked over Summer's body and bit her lip holding herself back.

Summer's body shifted, and the board gave way. She fell into the water, still holding Alex's hand. Alex pulled Summer up, and once she broke the surface had her grab the board. They had created a little circle, both had one hand on the board, and the other hand clutching each other. Summer's breathing had become shallow, and her eyes wide. This was one of the moments where she was scared to death. Summer leaned her head on the board, and watched Alex as she began to breath normally. Without thinking Alex leaned into the small space, and kissed her. It was a gentle, soft, and innocent kiss. She hadn't meant any harm, she just couldn't hold it in any longer.

Alex pulled back, and bit the inside of her mouth. "Sorry…I just...I…" Her cheeks were flushed. Nothing had ever felt so right to her. When they're lips touched she felt so much more than she ever had. Summer smiled, deep down she had been waiting for that moment for awhile. It had been perfect, and she found it amusing that Alex was so flustered.

"Summer, I think we should head back. Your teeth are chattering." Alex pointed out, trying desperately to rid herself of the embarrassment.
"I didn't even notice." Summer said not breaking eye contact. Both of them made they're way back to the shore. Alex threw the board on the sand and picked up the towel, she noticed Summer was shivering so she wrapped it around her. Aware of how close they were, she pulled back slightly and let Summer towel herself off. Then she handed her the sweatshirt, while Summer handed her the towel.

The sweatshirt smelled like Alex, and Summer didn't want to take it off. Once Alex was done drying off, she picked up the board and began walking back to her apartment. Summer surprised her by grabbing the towel and her free hand. Alex looked at they're intertwined fingers, then Summer's smiling face and smiled.
