Alex never seemed fazed by the attention he gave me. Her and I became great friends right away. I never felt like she was a year younger than me. If anything she acted much older than her fourteen years of age.
“Are you kidnapping me?” I coaxed, glancing at him.
“Can’t kidnap the willing.”
We drove for forty-five minutes when he got off at the exit for Ocean Island Beach.
“We’re going to another beach? You know there was one within walking distance of our houses right?” I joked.
“Can’t surf there.”
“I’ve seen you surf there almost every day since we met.”
He ignored me until he finished paying the parking attendant and pulled his Jeep in the parking space at the beach.
“I can surf anywhere,” he arrogantly asserted. “You on the other hand, cannot. The waves are less intense here. I don’t want you gettin’ hurt, suga’.”
“I’m surfing?” I asked, taken back. “I don’t even have a board. I left it back in Cali.”
“We can rent you one,” he simply stated.
“Dylan, I haven’t been surfing in a long time, I don’t think this is a good idea.”
“It’s like ridin’ a bike, darlin’, you never forget.”
“Have you seen yourself surf lately? You can ride.”
He cockily smiled. “I do love when you talk dirty to me.”
I rolled my eyes, smirking. “I meant I won’t be able to keep up.”
“I’ll go slow. I know how you girls like it slow.”
“Whatever.” I opened my door and he caught my wrist before I could leave.
“I know you used to do this with your dad, suga’. I’m not trying to step on anyone’s toes. Just thought we could have a fun day together doing something we both love.”
That.
That’s why I was falling for the boy who sat in front of me.
He always knew what I was feeling, what I wasn’t feeling, what I wanted to feel. It’s like he had a sixth sense when it came to me. He was unbelievably perceptive. I used to think it was just with me, but the older we got, and the more I was with him, I realized he was like that with everyone. You couldn’t keep anything from him. When you thought you did…
It was only because he let you.
I sighed, “Fine.”
He leaned back into his seat still not letting go of my wrist.
“I got all day, darlin’.”
I took a long, deep, sarcastic breath with a fake smile. “I can’t wait. I’m so excited.”
He caught me off guard when he pulled me toward him, lifting me to straddle his lap. He kissed the tip of my nose and tugged on the ends of my hair.
“Talk to me.”
Just. Like. That.
