Me The Ocean And My Board

9. Training Session

*TW this chapter contains suicide*

School gets out at 2:45. Just like every other surfer in the school, I'm already wearing my bathing suit underneath my clothes. Hayden is the one to take me to the beach, bringing an extra surf board for me.

The car ride is silent, mostly. He'd attempt to talk to me but I wouldn't give him the time of day.

Once we arrive to the beach he kills the engine and looks at me. "Ignoring someone is rude."

"My apologies." We both laugh and head to the beach.

After about an hour of surfing, it's only 3:50 and we're both sitting in the sand. He keeps looking at me and I try to act like I don't notice but I do. I notice everything he does, he's not very good at hiding it. I wish I could tell him, but I dont want him to get the wrong impression. And knowing Hayden Shortt, he would.

He finally breaks the ssilence. "You have very pretty eyes." I can't help but blush. My entire face goes crimson red and I look away.

"If this is you trying to flatter me, it's not working."

"Explains why your face is so red."

"Oh shut up." I roll my eyes and swing my body around to face him.

"Hey we still have half an hour before training ends." He teases.

"In that case, I'm swimming." I slide off my shirt and pad into the water, Hayden following me. "Stalker." I joke and we both laugh silently.

"Why don't you like me?" The water reaches the middle of my back when I finally turn to look at him. The water against him rests slightly below his and he treads out further making us only a few inches apart.

"Do I really need to answer that?" I can feel the tension as he eyes me.

"Yes. You do."

"Because you're a jerk." I whisper, splashing him with water. He returns the favor.

"Well so are you." He kicks my feet from under me and my head falls under the water. After breaking the surface I splash even more water towards him.

"Exact reason you're a jerk."

"A cute one?" I roll my eyes.

"Why is this relevant?"

"C'mon you gotta give me that." One of his hands find my waist and the other rests on the small of my back.

I stand on my toes, giving me just enough height to whisper in his ear. "I don't have to give you anything." I fall back down to the base of my feet and look up at him. Before I have time to deter anything, his lips are pressed against mine, closing the space between us, and this time I don't pull away. The hand that was sitting on waist is now gripped around me neck, deepening the kiss. His tongue teases at my lips and I willingly part them. After what seems like forever, our mouths separates slightly, both of us gasping for air.

"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that." He whispers against my lips and a smile crooks upwards on me. Before he can say anything else, I'm already brushing my lips against his, softly nibbling on his bottom lip. A light gasp escapes him and I smirk, pulling away.

"You're too easy." I whisper, backing away from him.

"You evil little bastard." He says, following me deeper and deeper in the water.
