Episode 5: Regina's POV
During the morning, the brunette woman strode away to the kitchen and found out that Emma was gone by this time when she woke up few minutes ago. She frowned and missed her out then decided to make a late breakfast and took her to the back porch with the oceanfront. She sipped her tea and watched the children playing the sand castle then thought of her childhood.
In her childhood, Regina remembered her times with her parents on the beach; she was the one who played with the waves beside her dad. Her mother watched them with her smile on the face. She knew that they enjoyed their time all day to do their fun times. The brunette woman knew that it was the long time ago when she played with the sand. She sighed deeply. Until her tea was out, she decided to make more tea and strode back inside the house to get the tea.
For her thoughts on the childhood, she loved her parents to take her out to the beach and remembered how she begged them to teach her how to surf. It's been a long time to learn how to surf beside her dad. She laughed at the funny moment when her mother screamed while she fell over from boarding on the surfboard. She shook her head and smiled at herself.
For a while, she remembered that she enjoyed her time on the surfing in the sea. It was a fantastic time to spend her time with her dad. Her father was the professional surfer that she had ever seen but never knew that he was experienced in the surfing in his times with her grandfather. Her grandfather was the surfer for the long time to beat his record and won the trophy for the local surfing competition. She has been wishing to see that moment besides her father and looked up at the window with her thoughts.
Regina decided to do something fun with the sea and went to get changed in a casual wear then came out for a drive. She enjoyed her view until she spotted the surf shop and smiled at herself. The brunette woman parked the car and got out from the car then walked into the store and looked around in the building. Regina had carefully looked at the surfboard until she found a beautiful funboard with the evil queen design.
The surfboard has three fins, and it was beautiful slightly oval. The image of Evil Queen was the custom art. She could see that the beautiful Latina eyes and the Apple were in the front. Regina decided to buy that surfboard and walked to the cashier with her new surfboard. The clerk raised her eyebrows at her and spoke lightly.
"Are you sure that you want that one?"
"Yeah, I can't resist that image. It looks like me in metaphorically. How much it cost me?" Regina replied. The cashier looked down at the picture of the evil queen and nodded then continued.
"$400 but $150 off on the sale. It would be $250."
"Cash or Credit?" The brunette woman smiled and asked.
"Whatever you like." The cashier shrugged and said.
"Alright, credit card but can you hold it for me? I need to search for the wetsuit." Regina nodded and looked away at the area for the wetsuits then back to the cashier and responded.
"Oh, it is right there beside the shortboards. The fitting room is in the back. You better pay it up because it's a popular one." The cashier nodded with a reply and pointed out to the shortboards, so the brunette woman looked away at the area with a nod.
"Ok, here is my credit card." Regina handed her card and mused with a smile.
The cashier nodded and went to proceed to scan on the surfboard then swiped a card and took the receipt for the brunette woman to sign her name. Regina smiled at her and signed her name then continued.
"Thank you."
"Sure, no problem. I will hold it for you while you are shopping for the wetsuit and see if it fit you. Your surfboard will be in the storage while you are around."
"Thank you so much." The brunette woman responded with a nod then went away to search for the wetsuit. The cashier took the surfboard to the storage and put it in the rack then went back to the checkout counter to proceed with other customers. Regina found the wetsuits area and browsed through the colors of the wetsuits. The brunette woman liked the colors but went with a black and red RipCurl full suit in 8 sizes. She went to the fitting room and saw if it fit her. She stripped her clothes until she have her undergarments on her body. It's just a bra and underwear.
Regina sighed and went to pull in her wetsuit then struggled to get it up to her shoulders. She felt tight but a little loose and looked up at the mirror to check if it fit her. The brunette woman found that wetsuit to fit her like a glove and smiled at herself then decided to get an extra one in purple with black. Regina put the wetsuit off and went to get dressed then strode out to the wetsuit area to get another one. Now, she has two full suits and one shorti in a black one. She was happy with her wetsuits and went to the line for the purchase. Regina looked around in the building until she was called by the cashier and went to the same cashier.
The cashier's eyes went wide when she saw three wetsuits and proceed it quickly with the credit card. The wetsuits went into the boxes, and the bags were packed. Regina smiled and waited for the cashier to get her surfboard out from the storage then got her free stuff for waxing on the surfboard. She nodded at the cashier and left to her car.
Finally, she put her surfboard in the passenger seat and bags went into the backseat. Regina was satisfied with her purchase and drove away on the way to the beachfront.
In few minutes later, the brunette woman arrived and gathered her things out to the house. She put her surfboard in the living room and went to her bedroom to get changed in the full suit with red and black. Regina looked up at the mirror and went to pull her hair into the ponytail. She finished with her dressing up and went back to the living room then grabbed her stuff and strode outside on the back porch.
She smiled at her thoughts about surfing in the sea. She was excited but knew that she was rusty on the surfing because she hasn't been on the surfing for the long time. She remembered the steps that her father taught her how to surf properly. Regina sighed and went to work on her surfboard with the wax.
Until several minutes later, the brunette woman put her stuff away in the living room and strode back to the back porch to get her surfboard. Regina looked up at the sea and smiled at herself then walked on the sand to the sea. She went to strap on her left ankle and stood up then exhaled in the air. The brunette woman walked with holding her surfboard while she was in the sea.
Regina remembered the first step is to lie on her front chest on the surfboard and the second step was to paddle through the sea. The brunette woman felt free when she did it through the waves. She dived while she held her surfboard under the waves. Regina went to the surface and blinked several times then paddled through the sea until she reached the level of the water. She sat up and her palms on the surfboard. The wind blew her lightly, and the brunette woman smiled until she saw the wave coming closer and turned her surfboard to the front of the shore.
The brunette woman looked away at the wave behind her shoulder and laid her chest on the surfboard until the wave touched her surfboard, and she felt a push of the water. Finally, she went into a rush to stand on the board and drove her in a beautiful turn to hit the top of the wave. Regina laughed and felt good when she finally stood on her board and touched the wave with her fingers. The wave went into a swirling in the beautiful view of the hole. The brunette woman finally got out of the wave and fell over into the water.
It left Regina smiling at herself and decided to catch some waves for a good length of times. She paddled again until she reached her spot and did her surfing few times with no mistakes. The brunette woman felt proud of herself because she did well on her surfing with few perfect waves.
For a while, the brunette woman enjoyed her surfing and went to get her break while she sat up and took a view of the waves. For her, she didn't know that Emma watched her from the shore and had her smile on her face. Regina had no clue that Emma was the professional surfer when the blonde woman was younger. The blonde woman knew that it's time to show Regina that who Emma is. She finally grinned at herself and went back to the beachfront to get her full suit and the surfboard from the studio.
Finally, Regina spotted the blonde woman in the water after thirty minutes later. She went surprised that Emma had her surfboard and watched her paddling through the waves until she reached the last good wave. The blonde woman turned around to find the brunette woman and winked at her then finally went into a push from the wave and got up on the board.
Emma smiled at herself and drove the board to hit on the top of the waves and curved through the water. She laughed at herself until she finished her best surfing on the wave. It left the brunette woman gaping open at her with her widening eyes. The blonde woman fell over into the water and reached her surfboard to paddle toward Regina then sat up on her board. She was beside Regina and spoke lightly.
"I didn't know that you like surfing."
"I love surfing. You surprised me. You were amazing out there with that wave."
"When I was younger, I used to live in Hawaii with my foster family. They taught me how to surf, and I learned it even though I loved it. I won few competitions back there, and I already had my surfing experience with me when I came here to get a retreat with my son. I taught my son how to surf too. I always come here more often when I need my escape. I am sure that you would dig my surfing competitions in Hawaii. I used to be a professional surfer but now, I am today. San Diego knew me as The Savior of the Waves."
Emma laughed while shaking her head and took a glance at the shocking brunette woman then winked at her and went to paddle through the waves for her best one. Regina stared at the blonde woman and wondered how Emma ended up being a professional surfer. She smiled to herself and watched the blonde woman surfing the waves.
The blonde woman signaled her to come with her through the waves. The brunette woman smiled and paddled until she reached her and rode their surfing through few waves together. They smiled at themselves and enjoyed their presence through their surfing.
In their thoughts, they hoped that they keep that way and enjoy their four months vacation together in the beachfront house and do their surfing. All they had been the smiles on their faces on the rest of the afternoon. Lastly, they finally exhausted themselves out and decided to have early dinner together while they were on the sand then chatted about their surfing experiences.
