“I’m sorry, you can throw me in for revenge.”

“Real funny,” She picked up a towel and wiped her face. “What if I couldn’t swim?”

“I think that would have come up by now.” He approached the blanket grabbing a water out of the cooler.

“So,” June sat, “Do you have any ex girlfriends that I should be aware of? Besides Shianne?” She joked.

“Ha ha.” He said dryly sitting next to her. “Actually, no.”

“Do you?” His shoulder bumped into hers, knowing the answer.

Yes, she wanted to tell him, she wanted to tell him everything and nothing, forgetting all about her past. But not now, it wasn’t the right time. “Yes.” June wanted to be honest with him. She wished he could just know about her and when he does find out, she wants him to understand. She wanted her life to be better everyday from now on and she knew it was going to be hard work but she wanted to be happy. “I dated someone for a few years before coming here.”

“He’s not going to come here and beat me up is he?”

“No,” She laughed and lied, “I ended things.”

The cool breeze rolled in with each wave. She could feel the sun begin to heat her skin again. Wolfie leaned back on one palm behind June. His movement alerted her and she looked over at him closer to her. His warm breath stroked her lips, rolling off her cheeks as he inched closer. She pulled away teasingly, followed by a laugh dropping to the sand. He chuckled at the sound of her laughter, gravitating down towards her. Wolfgang hovering over, his dry hair hung over June's wet ponytail. She laid there, letting her blue eyes burrow into Wolfie’s giving him the okay he needed and his face crashed into hers. His nose brushed along Junipers and his beard tickled her cheeks and chest. Her hands found the back of his head, velvet in texture. Wolfgang’s lips parted and June mimicked him as his tongue grazed her lip. She became startled and placed a hand on his chest, softly pushing him away.

The setting was perfect and the magnetic pull between them was taking over. Wolfie felt safeto Juneand she convinced herself it wasn’t lust, due to the fact that she was trying not to date being the new girl on the island. She felt she had some healing to do. Ben wasn't there but he was still playing a part in her conscious mind. A beautiful natural act like kissing, became horrifying. She couldn’t take it that far. Not now.

Taking the hint, he sat up, “ Do you have plans tonight?”

Gaining eye contact with him as she lifted off the sand, she responded, “No.” and brushed the sand off her shoulders.

“Would you want to do something?”

“We’re doing something now.” She hugged her knees.

“I meant tonight.” He rolled his eyes.

“Like what?”

“I have two movie passes, They’re playing one of my favorites tonight.”

“They have a movie theater here?”

“Yes?”

“Okay,” That sounds fun. June worried that he was slightly reserved because she pushed him away and leaned over to kiss him on the cheek.

Wolfgang smiled looking back at her.

June blushed as she slid out before he put the car in park, “Please don’t get out,” she pleaded, “ I’ll see you tonight.” She grabbed her bag and looked at him, his lips were in a tight line unimpressed.

“That’s dangerous.” He shifted the gear into park.

She ignored him, “What time can I expect you?”

“Six thirty?”

“Sounds good.” She smiled and turned to walk up the driveway. “See you soon.”
