My Life After the Disaster

Chapter Twelve

We get out of the car after changing into our swim suits and walk out onto the beach, only then realizing that I didn’t bring a towel.

“Did you bring anything to dry off with or lay on?” I ask her as we walk back around to the car.

She pops the truck of her car, pulls out a couple of towels and a beach blanket. “Yep, I thought of everything. Don’t you worry. I even made a picnic for us, for later too. I’ll leave that right here till we need it,” she tells me, closing the trunk. “By the way, that’s a cute bikini, I really love it on you.”

“Your bikini is really sexy too, I love the way you look in it,” I tell her as I look her over. She’s wearing a red bikini with white polka dots all over it. There’s a knot bow right in the middle of it and it clips in the back, tying around her neck.

“Thanks, it’s one of my favorites, I love how it feels on me,” she tells me as she walks down to the beach, holding the towels and blanket.

I run ahead of her, spinning around in the sand, I kick my sandals off and feel the sand under my feet. It’s hot and soft at the same time. I bend down and grab some sand into my hand, letting it sift through my fingers.

“Playing with the sand?” Alexia says, laughing as she places the blanket down beside me. She puts the towels on top of the blanket and sits down.

I drop the remaining sand from my hand onto the ground and get onto the blanket. “Not really playing with it, just feeling it sift through my hands. The sand is quite hot today,” I tell her, looking around the beach. Doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of people at the beach today.

“It’s still kind of early, there will be more people here later. But the sun is really bright right now, it’s going to make the sand hot,” Alexia tells me, staring straight at me.

“Can you read minds? I was just thinking how there isn’t very many people here,” I tell her, looking back at her beautiful face. I reach out and touch her hand, which is both soft and smooth.

“No Rose, I don’t read minds. I just figured you were thinking that by the experience you had on your face. Now how about you and I go see how that water feels,” she tells me, getting up from the blanket.

I get up with her and turn to look at the water. It’s so beautiful, the way the sun shimmers on the surface of the water. It kind of sparkles. “Okay, but if it’s cold when I get in there I’m splashing you with the water,” I tell her while smirking mischievously.

We start running towards the water then I trip over my feet and fall in face first, taking Alexia down with me.

I quickly sit up, gasping for air. “Cold, so very cold,” I say as my body starts to shiver.

Alexia sits beside me, smirking and says, “I thought you were going to splash me not dunk me in the ocean.”

“That was an accident. You could have let go of my hand and let me fall all on my own. But you didn’t so you stumbled right along with me. And I’m too cold to splash you,” I tell her as I rub my hands along my arms.

Alexia comes over to me, wrapping her arms around me and pulling me onto her lap. “I can help warm you up,” she tells me with a flirtatious smile.

“Alexia, we’re not the only people here, there’s three people over there,” I tell her, pointing in the direction to the left of us. I feel myself turning red as I become even closer to Alexia, hearing her breath in my ear.

“It’s okay Rose, no need to be embarrassed, we’re not doing anything wrong. Besides, they’re too busy playing together to notice what we’re doing here,” she tells me as she rubs her hand along my leg.

I turn my head and start kissing her soft, plump strawberry red lips.

She moves her hand from my leg to the back of my head to deepen the kiss, sliding her tongue into my mouth and exploring around.

I wrap my arms around her and press my chest to hers, breathing into the kiss. This is definitely heating me up. I can’t even feel the cold anymore, just the wetness of the water around us and the pounding of my heart.

Alexia smiles against my lips as she kisses me more passionately and moves her other hand to cup my breast.

I break away from the kiss and splash her with some water as I get off of her lap.

Her expression becomes shocked, then menacing and she starts splashing me back, smiling as she does.

We both stand up and go back and forth splashing each other, laughing and having a good time until we get too tired to continue.

I start walking out of the water, heading back to our blanket on the beach.

Alexia quickly follows after me, dripping water into the sand as we walked. Alexia grabs a towel and wraps it around herself, then takes her keys and heads to her car.

I grab the other towel and wrap it around myself then lay down on the blanket, closing my eyes to feel the sun fall on my face. It was a bit windy so the breeze was making me cold again. I find myself wishing the towel was bigger to cover my whole body.

Alexia comes back over with a basket in her hand and sits down beside me with it, pulling out a couple of water bottles. “I thought you might be thirsty after our adventure in the water,” she tells me, handing me a bottle of water.

I sit up, taking the bottle of water, quickly twist off the cap and pour it into my mouth, drinking it like I was dying of thirst. I then put the cap back on it and set it down beside me. “I had no idea how thirsty I was till I started drinking,” I tell her, wiping my mouth off with the back of my hand.

“Your body doesn’t always know when you’re thirsty until you start drinking. Though there are ways to tell, you just might not be able to read your bodies signs,” she tells me as she opens her own water to drink it.

“You might just be right. I had noticed my mouth was getting dry but I didn’t think anything of it,” I tell her as I watch her drink her water. The water drips down the bottle onto her face and neck.

She recaps the bottle and places it down beside herself then pulls out some strawberries from the basket. “I thought it would be fun for us to feed each other,” she says with a smile as she picks up a strawberry and holds it out for me.

I lean forward and take a bite out of it, licking my lips afterwards as I stare at Alexia. “Are you trying to make this whole date s****l?” I ask her, finishing up the strawberry, leaving the green bit in her hand.

She smiles and says, “Of course not, we’re just having fun.” She then take out another strawberry and hands it to me to feed her.

I take the strawberry from her, holding it up for her to bite it. She bites into it while gazing up at me. “That certainly seems s****l to me,” I tell her, watching as she takes another bite.

“Okay, maybe I did make it a bit s****l. But it’s all in fun. You’re enjoying yourself aren’t you?” She asks me, holding out a strawberry for me to bite it.

“I am, I can’t say I haven’t enjoyed a single minute of our beach date,” I tell her as I take a bite out of the strawberry.

We go back and forth eating the strawberries till they’re all eaten, then we move onto the sandwiches she made for lunch, eating them till they’re all gone.

“How about we go for a walk along the beach?” I ask her as I get up from the blanket, dropping my towel to the ground.

Alexia grabs her water bottle and stands up with me, saying, “Sure. I’ll join you for a walk.” She takes my hand with her free hand and we start walking, going towards the edge of the water.

I touch the water with my bare feet as I step beside it, walking along the shore. “There’s more people here now,” I tell her as I notice the people sitting along the beach and playing in the water.

“Yeah, I knew there would be. It’s just after lunch now. And it’s a nice hot day. So people want to go to the beach to tan and cool off in the water. But I don’t care about them. All I care about is watching you,” she says, smiling at me as we walk.

We walk all along the beach, holding hands and talking about trivial things then we turn back around and head back the way we came.

Alexia grabs me where I stand and kisses me on the lips, both surprising and delighting me.

I lean into the kiss, deepening it more. I can feel people’s eyes on us as we stand there kissing each other passionately. I don’t care if they’re judging us or enjoying the scene. All I care about right now is those lips on mine.
