I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Adora's Point of View-
Alex pulled out of the parking lot turning right to go to some place I didn't know, but yet I was kind of excited.
"No one said dates can't be adventurous huh?" I asked chuckling now that I realized how hilarious this could be.
"Yeah, I'm laughing….they are going to be pissed when they realized we skipped out on the bill…" Alex said.
"I've never done that before….well once but I was on a date and it was going bad so I escaped through the window's bathroom…"
"You girls can really fit through those things?"
"Us skinny ones can." I said chuckling.
"You were mean to that guy…"
"No, if you met this guy and you will understand why I skipped out within the first five minutes you meet him…have you skipped out on the bill before now?" I asked.
"Once or twice back when I was in high school." Alex said.
"How'd you skip out of the meal?" I asked curiously not sure how you will do that in a big group of people.
"We waited until the waitress was distracted at a different table or something on the other side of the restaurant and one by one we left the restaurant, the hardest is when you're the last one…"
"Were you ever the last one?"
"Once, but I succeeded because I didn't pay the bill…."
"Did you guys ever get caught or get in trouble for it?" I asked.
"Not really, we never got charges pressed against us and our parents never found out."
"Parents are so clueless to what us teenagers do with our friends and spare time." I said smiling.
"They always wonder why we never do our homework, it's because of our friends always distract us…" Alex said as he pulled into another plaza seeing a shop or two amongst fast food restaurants.
"What are we doing?" I asked.
"You'll see…" Alex said as he pulled into the drive thru of the Carl's Jr.
"You for real? We are going to Carl's Jr.?"
"I'll make it romantic, trust me." Alex said as he pulled up and we ordered our food and he paid for it amongst with grabbing our food and drinks before he pulled back onto the main street.
"I just stole a fry." I said chewing a fry with some of it still hanging out, Alex stopped at the red light, he leant over taking the other half in his mouth breaking it kind of like the 'Lady and The Tramp' but with fries. "I can't believe you just tried to re-enact that scene." I said laughing a tad.
"It was cute though." Alex said as he finished chewing his part of the fry.
"It was definitely cute." I said as I smirked as I looked out the window watching the buildings as we drove by. "I don't understand why things close down so early…"
"Well, it's a Tuesday, it's not like it's a weekend where no one is working or kids don't have school so they are always out and about where as during the week barely anyone will want to do things because they got work the next day." Alex said.
"I understand that but it sucks for people like us who work weekends but don't during the week."
"It does, but we don't need to be out doing something spectacular besides hanging with your sweetie and relaxing to be able to do it all again the next weekend." Alex said.
"But it gets boring staying at home for three whole days because lord knows while on tour your either in your room, arena or at the bar…I have yet been else where besides this past weekend."
"What about that time we went to the pizza place?"
"But even then we just picked up the pizza and came back to the hotel room."
"Are you saying you want to do more than just lounging in the hotel room?"
"Maybe once in a while…"
"Maybe we can figure something out soon." Alex said as I started to smell sea water over the delicious smell of our Carl's Jr.
"Are we near the beach?" I asked.
"How could you tell?" Alex asked as he pulled up to the next light that was a dead end and the ocean was right in front of us. "I figured have dinner on the beach of sorts…it's not quite like a picnic though."
"It'll be romantic still none the less Alex." I said as he turned right pulling into the first parking lot he found and paid the daily fee for us to park and we climbed out grabbing our drinks and the bag of food walking along a sidewalk that was towards the back of the beach to a bench that we sat on so we couldn't get sand on or in our food. "It's nice out." I said as I felt the breeze that was coming in from the ocean front, but it wasn't too cold where you needed a jacket, and it felt about 60 to 70 degrees so it wasn't too bad.
"That it is…what do you like most about the beach?" Alex asked.
"I don't know, I just love it…it just seems so calming…" I said as I shrugged not knowing what exactly about the whole ocean and beach that I liked, but I just loved going there.
"It is just calming, I think that is why some people listen to it on those frame things, like they have the rain forest or jungle…"
"Yeah, to help them fall them asleep." I said.
"Have you ever used one?"
"Nope…but I don't know how close to the actual thing it sounds….I love the sea life, when I was younger I used to have dolphins and whales all over my room."
"Which one do you like more?" Alex asked as he took a bite of a fry before he took another bite of his cheese burger.
"Dolphins, I was thinking about getting a dolphin tattoo but never got around to it and my parents would have instantly kicked me out nor let me come back home from the dorms when they found out." I said.
"Your parents don't like tattoos?"
"No, not at all…my dad used to threaten me with 'If I see a tattoo on your skin, I will scrape it off with my fingernail.'"
"Ouch."
"Yeah…and he said that if he saw a piercing somewhere other than our ears that he will yank it out."
"What if you could hide it? I mean, no facial rings but you can do belly rings or else where." Alex said.
"Same thing with tattoos, I could get it somewhere where it'll be constantly covered."
"You want to go get one?"
"Not tonight, I don't want you to see that side of me and ruin my image."
"You won't ruin your image…but I don't think you should get one either, Mike would kill both of us…"
"Yep, what would your parents say if you brought someone home with numerous tattoos and piercings?"
"They won't think anything of it since I have the one on my back."
"Will I ever meet your parents?"
"Yep, when I feel that we are serious enough…."
"Are we not serious?"
"We are serious, I like to think we are serious but I want to get over the Mike hurdle, when he starts appreciating us being together."
"Yeah, I think it will make it harder on him if he heard that your parents approved and he hadn't yet." I said still shocked and kind of hurt that he didn't want to take me home to meet his parents, I would take him home to my parents now but maybe I was going too fast.
"You okay?" Alex asked, I guess he could tell I was kind of upset.
"Yeah…just thinking and hoping that Mike didn't see us tonight…"
"He didn't see us and if he did, he would have chased us out of there and went after me mainly."
"Yeah…" I said as we ate our dinner, he stood up taking the bag of our empty wrappers and fry containers to the nearest trash can.
"Since we're here, you want to walk along the beach?" Alex asked as he walked back to me standing in front of me sipping his drink that still had some left.
"Absolutely…" I said smiling as I stood up grasping his free hand to swing slightly back and forth between us as we walked down the sidewalk that was right next to the sandy beach enjoying the breeze, the smell of the ocean and just the sounds of the waves crashing in. "Thanks for dinner, is this what all you had planned?" I asked curiously as we reached another parking lot that we didn't park in.
"Nope, there is one more thing I have planned but it's kind of early for that…or maybe we will go there tomorrow if we don't make it tonight."
"What is it?" I asked.
"You'll find out soon enough…" Alex said smirking.
"I thought that was really cute and romantic of you to think of coming to the beach right off the bat when Chili's didn't work out…"
"I did what I could….Carl's Jr. wasn't the best choice on my point but I think it might of ruined everything if I just pulled into a Wal-Mart and tried to do a full picnic on the beach…"
"Carl's Jr. is great, may not be the perfect restaurant for a date but hey, I always liked a guy that is okay with going to restaurants like that…I don't always need to go to big restaurants like Chili's…"
"I won't call Chili's a big restaurant."
"It's a lot bigger and fancier than Carl's Jr." I stated.
"Very true…so your okay with any restaurant I take you to?"
"I don't care if we go get food, food doesn't matter to me because all that matters is that I am with you…."
"Me too…" Alex said as he stopped, he turned me to face him wrapping his arms around my waist and held me close to his embrace, "I know this may be too soon, but I think I love you Addie." Alex said as I felt instant blush and a smile creeping onto my face.
"I think I love me too…" I said chuckling.
"I'm serious Addie…" Alex said as he ran his hand through my hair pushing some behind my ear in the process.
"I love you too Alex…" I said smirking as the words left my mouth and I leant forward pressing my lips against his, our lips broke momentarily before he leant in pressing our lips back together. "You are the first person I've ever kissed on the beach…" I said as the kiss broke, my forehead pressed against his as I was still on my tip toes leaning against his solid frame and he was holding me still with his strong arms still wrapped around my waist.
"We aren't technically on the beach….we are on the sidewalk…" Alex said.
"Your so literal…." I said giggling and rolled my eyes.
"I guess we should technically make it on the beach then…" Alex said as he led me the few steps onto the sand, he leant down a tad to give me another kiss and I smiled after our lips broke. "Now you have had your first kiss on the beach."
"Now I have…was this your first?" I asked curiously.
"You're my second…" Alex said truthfully.
"Who was the first?" I asked kind of upset but yet I couldn't be mad, because who wouldn't want to kiss a man that looked like Alex and I am sure that he had girlfriends before me.
"My high school girlfriend…but that was years ago." Alex said.
"What was she like?" I asked curiously.
"It doesn't matter….all that matters is that we are together now and you're the winner to my heart." Alex said moving my hand to his heart.
"Were you always this smooth?"
"I can be…" Alex said smirking when he caught my lips in another kiss. "Is your stomach settled?" Alex asked.
"Yeah, why?" I asked curiously.
"You up to go on with what I have planned?"
"Yeah, as long as Mike or Maryse don't show up to ruin it…" I said smiling.
"I don't see Mike or Maryse coming to where I have planned to take you next…"
"Are you sure that I'll like it then?"
"If you don't then we will be able to leave…" Alex said smiling as we tossed our cups away walking the distance back to his rental car, he opened my door holding it open until I was fully in before shutting it and running around to climb in the drivers seat. I buckled up watching him doing the same starting the car up before he started to pull out of the empty parking lot.
"I don't know why people don't come to the beach at night, especially now during the summer." I said.
"Because they aren't allowed in the beach without lifeguard on duty…"
"Do people really follow that?" I asked.
"Well, California along with Florida is filled with surfers, do you really think you can surf with it being dark out?"
"Yeah, your eyes adjust to the darkness…"
"But it's a lot harder during that time and it's a bigger risk of not getting out alive with no lifeguards on duty…plus it is cooler out…"
"I would think people would like it cooler out here than during the day when it's about 100 some degrees out." I said shrugging.
"People do like the cooler air but there isn't much to do on the beach during the night, it's not like you can sun bathe, surf, and no one would dare to get into the ocean because the ocean is cold enough as it is during the day, can you imagine how much colder it'll be at night?"
"You make good points, so that makes it the most perfect dating spot…" I said smirking.
"I thought so…" Alex said smiling proudly.
"Never forget that tip…." I said smirking.
"I won't…I can be romantic even if I don't want too…I'm that good."
"God your cocky like Mike."
"You say that like it's a bad thing…"
"Just don't let it go to your head like he does…"
"I won't…" Alex said smirking as he reached over grasping my hand as he was driving with his other hand.
