“You did! You totally brought me out here to take advantage of me. Hey, it’s all good. I’m totally down for you having your way with me on the beach.”
“You’re such a boy!” I laugh.
“Glad you think so.”
Sitting up, I look out over the water. “I just loved that scene. It’s romantic and … I don’t know. That day I was out here with my girlfriends, this place has always stuck in my mind.”
Leaning closer, he reaches up and pulls off my sunglasses. Keeping his eyes on mine, his gaze falls to my lips for just a second, before returning to my eyes.
“Thank you,” he whispers.
“For what?”
“For sharing this with me.”
His hand comes up, caressing my cheek. My floppy hat folds up as his head moves closer, and then his lips meet mine. I don’t mean to try and reenact the scene from the movie, but I can’t help it. I fall back onto the towel, keeping my arms around his neck to bring him with me. His lips continue to press against mine.
I never thought I’d have this. Maybe in the grand scheme of things, when I’m older and a little more out of the limelight, but right now? In the middle of this whirlwind life I’m living, I never thought I’d have this. A quiet moment on the beach, with a guy I really like, kissing me as if I’m someone he wants to be with. Not someone he’s excited to be around because of who I am.
His lips break away from mine, but my hands stay behind his head, my fingers running through his hair. His eyes remain locked on me and switch from longing to conflicted. “I need to tell you something,” he finally whispers.
“What?” I reply, trying to calm my breathing.
For a moment, the nerves begin to creep up, unsure what he’s going to say.
He stays quiet for another moment. “I …”
My eyes widen, unsure if he’s about to utter the L word. Not that I haven’t had those feelings, but I don’t know if I can say them back just yet. Even if I have been falling harder and harder for him.
“I … think you’re amazing,” he finally utters. “I just wanted to make sure you know that.”
Maybe he’s feeling it, too, but he’s just as nervous. Either way, his words reaffirm all of the joy I’ve been feeling around him. “You keep telling me that, and I’m gonna get a big head over it.”
He laughs, resting his head on my shoulder for a moment. “You should. I can’t help it, every time I’m around you that’s what I think. You should know how great you are.” Lifting his head up, he gives me a quick kiss. “I don’t know that there’s one thing you’re not amazing at.” He kisses me again. “Especially how you move your lips.”
His last comment makes me giggle. “You’re not so bad yourself.”
