Velma blushed intensely, her stomach churning as she put on her swimsuit and walked out the locker room, recollecting on how she didn't even want to swim at all. She had told Johnny she didn't have a swimsuit, but he made her buy one anyway. The one he picked up was a tiny bikini that was orange with white spots. She picked up an all orange one piece and walked out the shop with a beet red face after paying, Johnny smiling the whole time. Johnny walked in front of Velma, making her stop abruptly as her eyes focused on his huge figure. "Wanna see some magic, baby?" She raised both eyebrows and smiled with excitement. "Sure." His smile was filled with debonair as he swiftly turned and was shirtless and pantsless. Velma let out a scream of shock, nearly falling before Johnny caught her. Again her instincts kicked as she gripped his arm and threw him on his back. "I-I'm so sorry Johnny! I didn't expect you to—" Johnny's hand sprung up and caught her by the mouth, her eyes wide with surprise. "You sure do talk a lot. Just shut that pretty little trap of yours and get in that thing you call a swimmin' suit and meet me by the bridge." All Velma could do was nod as she helped Johnny up from the ground, staring at his back as he walked away. He was the complete opposite of Shaggy. Confident, outgoing, commanding, outspoken, a little slow at times, and downright sexy. She had to keep herself from imagining what lay beneath those flimsy trunks while she changed into her own swimsuit.
Johnny was attempting to flirt with a red headed babe who had walked off promptly before he heard someone clearing their throat. Johnny turned his head as he raised a brow and nearly forgot how to breathe as he stared at Velma. She was beyond what he imagined, figured wise. She wasn't thick with weight at all. She was thick with muscle. Her thighs and legs were powerful and not too muscular to the point of being scary. Her arms were about the same in comparison, muscular but girly. The one thing he tried not to stare too closely at was her goddess like bosom. Her chest had to be about from a 36C to about a small D cup. Even through the unflattering suit, he could see that her stomach was toned and supple. "Are you ready?" She said softly, walking up to Johnny's face and smiling. "Oh mmmomma yes…I-I MEAN YEAH, I WAS BORN READY!" Johnny felt the heat on his cheeks rising, and it had nothing to do with the sun that was beaming down on Johnny's flesh. He glanced over at Velma who was walking in front of him, and he had to catch himself from audibly groaning out loud at the sight of Velma's plump bottom. It was by the far the best he had ever seen, and that was saying a lot from the numerous amounts he had taken glances at. It was firm, round, and shiny from the tons of sunscreen she seemed to have packed onto her pale skin. "Bouncy", he said audibly before he realized he had spoken. "What was that Johnny?" Velma asked as she looked over her shoulder and flashed a smile his way. "Nothin'… I was just noticin' all those freckles you got all over your body…NOT THAT I WAS STARIN' OR NOTHIN'! They were just everywhere and I couldn't help but—". Velma walked up to Johnny and placed her hand over Johnny's mouth before repeating in a voice mocking his, "You sure do talk a lot. Just hurry up and get to the beach."
Johnny learned so many things about Velma just from watching her. He had created a list of five things he had learned about her just from the day at the beach:
1. She could have been a dolphin or fish in a past life because she swam like both of them combined
2. She never took her glasses off for anything. Eating, walking, swimming, or breathing.
3. She analyzed everything she came in contact with. Kinda like a cat. Johnny liked cats.
4. She had a bit of a stubborn, aggressive side to her. And loved to debate the hell out of anyone who would dispute her. Like the random surfer dude and chick she was having a very intimate conversation with.
5. She was competitive. As Johnny had found out 5 minutes earlier when she came stomping toward him announcing that they would be in a swimming match with the surfer dude and his jealous girlfriend.
"Look here Velma, I've been down this road before and I ain't feelin' another competition!" Johnny stated with annoyed tone, Velma completely ignoring him. "Now the way this is gonna work is me and that overbearing girlfriend of his are gonna race first, then you and and that no good creep go next ,okay?" Just as Johnny was going to respond, Velma stood up and walked to the shore and was already in diving position right next to the girlfriend. Johnny stood next to the guy that Velma called the creep and looked him over before turning back to Velma. Her bottom was placed high in the air and so was the girl's she was racing. In his opinion, the girl's was nothing in comparison to Velma's. The guy thought so too, which he made vocal after Velma and the girl shot off like rockets into the water. "Man, that sure is a prime piece of babe you got there…even if she is a nerd. Maybe I shouldn't have hit on her, but I was dumpin' this chick here anyway. She's NUTS…but you're with this chick but nothings ever permanent, am I right?." Johnny remained silent the whole time, realizing that he was going to clobber the living shit out of this guy if they didn't hit the water soon. Johnny put both hands to his mouth, startling the creep as he yelled out, "COME ON VELMA! SHOW 'EM WHAT YOU GOT!" Velma heard Johnny's voice and nearly busted from the water as she made a turn around the buoy, which was the turning point to head back to shore. Her heart was aflutter with happiness as she swam quicker, wanting to get to Johnny as quick as possible.
Johnny was right; Velma was like a fish in water. Hell, he wouldn't be surprised if she said she was actually part fish. She beat that other babe by a long shot with the girl just turning around the buoy as Velma crawled on shore. It took everything in Johnny not to pounce on her right then and there. Her hair was soaking wet, as was her entire body and now he could see every inch of her as the suit clung to her skin. She ran towards him and he almost sprung his arms up before she stated plainly, "Your go!" Just as Johnny was running to dive, the other female came up and the guy dived in 5 seconds behind Johnny. Johnny was no Velma, but he could pull his weight. He moved swiftly, his hair poking above the water like a dorsal fin. He made it to the buoy and by this time, the other guy had caught up with him. Johnny made the turn and just as his head popped above the water, he saw her. Cheering him on. And holding out her arms as wide as possible. Johnny felt himself jet forward and swim faster then he had ever swam before. He could hear her voice clearly now. "Come on Johnny! Your doing great! I'm so proud! Your almost there!" Johnny felt his body give one last push as he literally flew onto shore, his body sliding to Velma's feet. And she was smiling from ear to ear, the sun shining behind her back and looking completely like an angel. 'Now do you realize you love her?' a tiny voice said in his head. He chuckled softly before letting out an exhausted, "Yes."
Velma stared down at Johnny, his chest heaving from fatigue and exhaustion. She smiled down at him affectionately, his lips curving in a smile of his own. 'You love him, don't you?' Velma's body jolted, the thought catching her off guard. Her? Love Johnny? As if on que Johnny stared up at her before giving a heavy, "Yes." Her eyes went wide with disbelief as he held out his hand slowly. "Help me up, woulda?" Velma blinked twice, the shock wearing off as she stretched out her hand and pulled Johnny up. Suddenly a booming voice came across the steros, both Johnny and Velma jumping. "CONGRATS YOU TWO! You've won the annual swimming race!" Velma and Johnny looked from one another before a hula girl and man came running with flower necklaces, the girl draping them around Johnny's neck as the male went to do the same. "Oh no, I'm allergic." The male stared at her and smiled before placing them upon his neck. Velma chuckled softly before she heard someone call, "Hey you two! Pose for the camera!." Johnny raised a quizzical brow but posed quickly as Velma gave a confident smile and held a beach ball she found tightly in her arm. The flash went off and Johnny blinked repeatedly, his eyes adjusting to the bright flash. "Thanks!" Velma said before turning to Johnny. "I think I'm done with the beach."
"Yeah me too, let's head on home."
Johnny watched as Velma returned, her hair dried and fluffy, her face reddened from the sun. As she approached him, the strap of her bag ripped, causing the contents to fall out. "Oh Jinkies!" She moaned, leaning down to pick up her books before Johnny swooped in and gathered them all. "Here ya go, pretty mama."
"Thanks Johnny, really"' she said as she reached for her book before Johnny pulled it out of her reach. "Whoa there, let me take a gander at this here novella you got." Velma blushed intensely, her arms flailing to grasp the book. "Give it back!" Johnny smirked evilly, tucking the book in his shirt and getting close to her ear and whispering, "No way." Before Velma could stop him, he ran off out from the locker rooms and into the nearby park.
Velma finally made it to the park, her breath ragged and slow as she looked around and saw Johnny's noticeable hair peaking from behind a tree. "Hey, I told you—" She stared in disbelief as she saw him completely engrossed with her book, his head tilting slightly as he went from one word to the next. Johnny finally looked up at her and smiled, his hand whipping up and grabbing her wrist. She let out a yell as she landed in between Johnny's legs, her face becoming bright red as he placed the book in front of her face. "Read this part to me, I can't get what the chick in here is tryin' to say." Velma smiled serenely as she glanced at the book and placed her finger on the sentence she thought Johnny was referring to. "Here?" she asked, which he gave a thoughtful nod to. She took a deep breath before beginning:
"I could never understand him. He was a ghost ,true, but he wasn't exactly dead. He was…stuck. His body permanently asleep until his spirit either returned or left this world. Funny thing is, I don't want him to go. He's been chasing me around this castle for hours, only to talk. And in that matter of hours, I fell in love with him", Velma paused and looked up at Johnny who said assertively, "Keep reading." She turned her head back to continue, her heart racing at a mile a minute.
"The ghost's name was Lorenzo, but people just called him Larry for short. He was funny, charming, caring and well framed. He was…everything she was looking for…he was…" Velma couldn't read anymore as Johnny finished her sentence. "Perfect…he was perfect for her…and she loved him after only knowin' him for so long? Wow how moronic is that?" Velma looked back at Johnny who was staring off to the side but Velma continued to speak. "Not necessarily…I think loving someone as quick as a heartbeat is highly possible." "And how would you know?" Johnny had turned his face back towards hers as she stared back up at him. "Let's just say…I know from experience." Johnny stared at her as she glared back. Before Johnny couldn't stop himself as he grabbed both of Velma's wrists and leaned his head down and pressed his lips against hers. She tensed up before melting into his kiss, her body screaming out in delight.
Johnny only meant to startle her, but in the end, his body, mind and emotions went into hyper drive. The kiss became deeper as Johnny pushed down, trying to feel more of her flesh as it tingled his entire body to the core. A few more moments passed as their passion filled kiss continued, Johnny's lips parting as he began to crave for her taste as well, his tongue grazing her lip. That was enough to jolt Velma back to reality, her eyes popping open and her wrists falling from Johnny's grasp as she stood. "I-I'm sorry Johnny. W-we can't be doing this. This was wrong. A mistake. I shouldn't have led you on. I'm so sorry I—" Johnny stood and grabbed her arms again tightly enough for her not to escape. "Spare me the excuses. Go to him. Be with 'em for all I care. But just remember who you love Velma, because you know as well as I do how good that kiss felt. Now leave, I'm gettin' pissed." Johnny let go of her wrists as she went to speak. "GO DAMNIT! GO BACK TO HIM! HE'S THE ONE YOU WANT! THIS WAS WRONG REMEMBER?!A MISTAKE!" His voice escalated higher then he intended, his heart nearly jumping out of his chest. "J-just…talk to me later." Velma didn't, rather couldn't say anything as she ran out of the park, trying her hardest to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall. Johnny placed his back against the tree as he slid back down to the ground, his bottom stopping short from the ground. He reached underneath to grab ahold of Velma's book, the title shining in the sun as its gold letters stood out like fire. "The One That Came Back by Velma Dinkley." Johnny read aloud. He scoffed as he threw it back to the ground and stood to walk away. He paused and looked down at the book before picking it up again and returning home.
