Getting To Know You
Chapter 2
Kelsi sighed and relaxed on the rubber ring as she floated in the crystal clear ocean. She had her eyes closed, her foot anchoring her to the spot and she could feel the red hot sun beating down on her.
Then she could sense someone near her and a shadow fell over her and she opened her eyes. Ryan Evans was stood over her. She shot up and fell off splashing Ryan.
Ryan grinned, chuckled and offered out his hand to help her up.
"Thanks," muttered Kelsi, blushing red.
"Sorry I startled you," whispered Ryan.
"It's ok," smiled Kelsi, picking up her ring.
"Can I walk you back to your family?" asked Ryan.
"I'm going to the communal ladies toilets," answered Kelsi.
"No beach house?" asked Ryan.
"My parents decided it wasn't worth the money because we wouldn't need to shower or change but now I do so I'll make do," answered Kelsi.
"You can use our beach house if you want" offered Ryan.
"My parents don't know you they wouldn't let me," answered Kelsi. "But thank you."
"Well then why don't I go meet them?" asked Ryan.
"Sure but that still won't mean they will let me use your shower," answered Kelsi.
"It's just clear to me that you are nervous about using the communal place and you like your privacy," smiled Ryan, as they neared her parents.
"I know and I am. My parents know that they just thought if I wanted to shower we could go back to the house but then they probably wouldn't come back to the beach," said Kelsi.
"You don't need to get defensive," laughed Ryan.
"I didn't mean to be," answered Kelsi.
"Hey Kels who's your friend munchkin," asked her dad.
Kelsi.
Kelsi blushed and Ryan chuckled.
"I'm Ryan Evans sir I go to school with your daughter," said Ryan, holding out his hand.
Mr Nelson shook his hand.
"Ryan's parents have a beach house just down the block. He's offered to let me use the bathroom so I can shower and change without trekking back to our house," said Kelsi.
"Do you trust him?" asked her mother.
Kelsi nodded.
"I won't stay in the house while she's in there I'll stay on the porch," said Ryan.
"I like this one," smiled her dad.
"Dad," blushed Kelsi.
"Sorry munchkin," answered her dad.
Kelsi flushed red again and Ryan lead her of to his beach house so she could clean up.
