I was inspired before work. Reviews por favor.
Amelia laid out the blanket, took off her shoes and sat down. Adam quickly did the same. For the first few minutes, they were silent. Just watching the waves. After awhile, Amelia broke the silence.
"The beach is my favorite. What's weird is, I like it much better in the fall than I do in the summer. I think if I had to describe my perfect date, it'd be sitting by the water, all cozied up in blankets, talking for hours while we sipped hot chocolate. Is that lame?" She said sort of smiling.
"No..not at all."
"So Adam, all I seem to know about you is that your brother is a football star, you're Eli's wingman, and until me, you were a third wheel to the lovebirds. I wanna know things about you that aren't in relation to other people. I mean, we are friends after all."
Adam POV
She looked me right in the eyes as she said all of this, well she tried until I looked down. Nobody has ever taken a sincere interest in me until now. It made me feel...so good. She wanted to know me. This beautiful, intelligent, and overall work of art wanted to know ME. The sad part is, I had no clue what to say. Did I even know myself?
"You seem to be stuck Adam. Is something wrong?"
"No...its just...I don't really know what to say. Its kind of hard for me to just talk about myself." Adam said while he fidgeted with his hands and looked away.
"Well then...I guess I'll have to learn from experience." Amelia said smiling at him. With that, she stood up and held her hand out to him.
"Lets go get our feet wet." Amelia said sternly. As if she wouldn't take no for an answer.
"Um alright." Amelia helped Adam up, and she let her hand linger in his a bit too long. When Adam noticed this, both of their faces turned bright shades of red. She smiled awkwardly, and ran towards the water.
Adam and Amelia stayed at the beach until it was dark, and they could hardly see. Those few hours were fairly educational for Amelia. She was able to learn that Adam was not a fan of cold water being splashed in his face, he found it absolutely hilarious when Amelia fell in and got completely soaked, he was horrible at playing I-Spy, and he loved chocolate ice cream. He liked it even more when Amelia paid.
Amelia pulled into Adam's driveway. Adam spoke.
"I had a lot of fun...it was really nice not being a third wheel for once."
Amelia smiled. "I had fun too. I say we do it again tomorrow, and I'll even let you choose what we do."
"Hm, you've got yourself a deal. I'll call you?" Adam was shocked at his sudden confidence boost. Since when was he so forward?
"You better."
With that, Adam got out of the car and waved. He could not wait until tomorrow.
When Adam walked in, Drew and Alli were sitting on the couch watching a movie.
"Hey guys."
"YOU TOTALLY LIKE AMELIA!" Alli squealed.
"Wait..what? How'd you..what?"
"Um. We were kind of watching you two through the window." Drew confessed smirking.
"You should have seen the look on your face when she drove off dude. I'm surprised your shirt isn't soaked in drool."
"We're just friends. NOTHING more." Adam said as he ran up the stairs.
"Yeah whatever Rico Suave" Drew shouted after him.
Amelia POV
I walked in to find an empty house. There was a note on the table. "Amelia, Aunt Christine went into labor! Dad and I drove out to Wasaga soon as we heard, sorry we didn't wait for you! We probably won't be home until tomorrow afternoon. I left you food money on your night stand. Call me ASAP. -xo Mom."
I called my mom.
She informed me that I had a new baby cousin named Ethan, and he was gorgeous. She and dad were staying out there for the night and they would be home before 3 tomorrow. I hated nothing more than being home alone. It creeped me out so bad. I texted Clare.
Amelia: Hey Clarebear, what're you up to?
Clare: Eli and I decided to catch a late movie, ttyl.
Ugh. Eli Eli Eli...Adam.
Amelia: Hey you, I know we've only been apart for like...20 minutes. But I miss you already. :p Come over? I'll pick you up.
Adam POV
I just stared at my phone. This was undoubtedly too good to be true.
