********

All the stress and shit that comes

From holding life up on your shoulders

I kissed Esme, I kissed Esme, it was all I thought about for the rest of the night, I felt her perfect lips on mine and I knew now I wouldn't be able to stop it, she's addicting 

I felt my stomach flutter when she cuddled into me when I woke up, she was asleep for a little while after but she woke up when I kissed her forehead, I have a surprise for her today I know she loves the beach so thats where we're going, its around 85 degrees in LA today perfect for a soak at the beach to cool off 

"es" I whisper and she snuggles her head into the crook of my neck letting out little snores, "es wake up" I whisper but she doesn't do anything and I shake her she still doesn't wake up and I say her name louder now, "Esme wake up love" I say and she opens her eyes softly, "w-why" she whispers 

"we have plans goldie" I say and she shakes her head and lays back down into me but I nudge her moving her from my neck, "we have to get going put on a bathing suit" I say standing up, "Where are we going?" she asks more awake now and I shrug, "where would we go that you would need a bathing suit?" I ask and she smiles, "the beach" she states and I smile walking into the bathroom not saying a word 

I walk into the bathroom and I wash my face and brush my teeth, I fix my hair and I walk back out to see Esme in a bright neon yellow bikini and I see she has cross body jewelry on that goes from her chest down to the sides of her ribs and I see the wrap around her side, I look her up and down and she looks down blushing 

I walk closer to her and I put my finger on her chin lifting her eye sight to mine and I smirk, "don't go all shy on me now baby" I whisper to her and she looks away laughing, "I'm not shy" she mumbles and I nod, "sure love" I say and she looks into my eyes, she moves her lips to mine and I take her lips in trying to make this moment last forever, but she pulls away and walks to the bathroom 

she leaves me stunned and I look behind me to see her ass walk in the bathroom and shut the door, I walk into my closet and I pull out a pair of light pink swimming trunks and I slide them on myself, I throw on a black plain t-shirt and I walk back out to the bedroom, Esme's now wearing a pair of blue jean shorts that barely cover her ass and she leaves her top half just in the neon yellow swim top

she has her white tennis shoes on and her hair is up in a high pony tail and she doesn't have any make up on, she looks beautiful. I see her look me up and down trying to not be noticeable but she kind of sucks at that 

"ready?" I ask her and she nods, I take her hand and we walk down the stairs to the living room where I'm met with Ripley waiting for us at the stairs, "we should take him" she smiles and I look between the both of them, they have a better bond than me and her, I shake my head and I smile, "sure we'll bring him, grab his leash its on the kitchen counter" I say and she walks to way of the kitchen, a minute later she walks back with his black leash and I take it from her and putting it on Rip's collar

he sits like a good boy and I hold him while Esme opens the door, she grabs a Frisbee and two tennis balls to play with him and he walks in front of me but behind her, I unlock the car and and she opens the passenger seat getting in and buckling up, I open the back down and rip jumps in sitting down waiting for me to get in as well 

I close the door and I walk to the drivers seat, I turn on the car and I drive to the beach I picked out its about forty-five minutes but we're stopping somewhere before we go, I start to drive and we pull up to the place I need to go to about ten minutes later

I see the mini mart in front of us and Esme looks over to me, "what do we need from here?" she asks me and I look at her, "snacks" Is all I say and I leave the air on for Rip and we walk inside the  store, I see the neon lights of the empty store as we walk in and I walk to the drinks in the back, and I grab my favorite drink Arizona ice tea the half and half version, it's always been my favorite drink since it's my moms 

I see Esme grab a dr. pepper off the cold shelve and she turns to me and I walk to the aisles beside us, I see Esme grab a box of hostess cupcakes and a bag of Cheeto puffs, I grab a bag of lays chips just the regular kind and a Hershey bar the one with almonds of course. "What the hell is up with those snacks smiley?" she asks and I look down to my hands and I look back up at her and tilt my head, "I don't know what you mean?" I ask and she laughs, "they're so boring" she giggles and I pout, "no they're not what are you talking about" I ask and she keeps on laughing 

"baby I don't know one person who likes a Hershey bar with almonds" she laughs and I smirk, "it is very good don't knock it till you try it" I smirk and she shakes her head, she walks past me and puts her snacks on the check out counter, I put my on too and the man checks us out, I pay and we walk back to the car. I see Rip look at me and I put the snacks in Esme's lap when she sits down and I reverse driving to the beach now 

I see her hand resting on the arm rest in between the both of us and I grab it, I see her head look to mine and I look at through my peripheral vision I see her smirk and look down at out hands and she rubs her thumb against the side of my hand and I let her

I pull up to the beach and I see she smiles when she sees the bright blue water, I feel the hot sun shine down on us as we get out and I grab water bottles from the back for us and Ripley I grab his portable water bowl and Esme grabs his toys, we find a spot down to the right of the beach and we sit down on our towels so we don't burn our asses 

she takes off her shorts and I take off my shirt and we lay down in the sun but not for too long when Ripley starts to whine and annoy us both, I see Esme throw his frisbee far and he chases it and catches it in mid air, Esme cheers and I smile thats my good boy 

"good boy Rip" I hear Esme say as Ripley walks back to us and he lays down out of breath, I rub his belly and he sticks his tongue out, the water splashes us lightly from the tide but the mist feels nice on our hot skin 

"why do you like the beach so much?" I ask her and she turns to me, "well before my dad died, we had our own beach my father bought on our land and we would go there every Saturday morning to swim and surf a little, I was never any good he was the pro" she says and I smile at her memory of her father, she loves him a lot and I can see it hurts her that he's gone 

"my mother never went, always said she didn't want to get her hair wet or wear a bathing suit said it showed too much skin" she whispers and I shake my head, what kind of mother is this

"I'm sorry" I say and she shakes her head, "don't be you can't control her babe" she smiles and I look at her glowing skin, "this feels nice" I whisper and she looks at me, "the sun?" I ask her and I shrug, "you" I whisper my true answer and she pecks my lips its a good moment until I hear whining in my ear and I see Ripley hanging over me getting his drool all over us, Esme laughs and sits up again throwing the tennis ball this time 

she's amazing in every way
