Chapter Ten

The next day she woke up happy, excited, and other tons of emotions she hadn't been feeling in a while. She had gotten dressed quickly and she was now waiting for Cal to send her a message saying he was there. She knew that he was already downstairs but he didn't have to know about it. Cal was never late, he was, in fact, always ten minutes early and he used to send her a message one minute before their meeting hour telling her he was downstairs. She had discovered it one day when she had to take a look outside to see if it was raining and she had spotted his bike on the street with him waiting on it. She had then started to see if he had been early only that day or he used to do it, and it turned out he did it every single time. As his message popped up on her screen she immediately took her bag and rushed downstairs to meet him, greeting him with a kiss on his lips and a smile on her face. She then straddled his bike too and they headed toward their daily destination.

When they arrived at the beach they set their usually routine, laying their towels on the sand and headed toward the sea. They went for a walk and talked about random things like they always did, sharing new things and holding their hands. When they came back they decided to go swim, or at least he would swim a bit as she would just chilled int he water. She once again started walking toward the sea, following him, feeling the water rise to her ankles and getting to her knees.

"There are some waves today, the sea is not as calm as it always is. Do you want stop here?" Cal asked, looking at her.

"It's ok I think I can handle it" she looked at the sea in front of her, the situation seemed totally under her control, but he had been sweet to ask.

The water raised to her belly, then reached her stomach and she stopped, she was feeling well in that situation and it made her comfortable, she didn't need to go further. Cal noticed her stopping and as always he stopped in front of her, sinking down till the water reached his shoulders. It had started to get a bit windy so she could understand he did that to prevent himself from feeling cold.

They chatted for a while, also talking about their next dinner together. She had asked him to have dinner with her wherever he wanted and that maybe after that, they could have either walked on the beach or gone to he club he had brought her the first time. Honestly she was too embarrassed to ask him to come to her place, was it too soon? She didn't know, she wasn't used to this anymore.

As they were talking he also tried to spray some water on her lightly, touching her arms with his cold fingers and making her jump in surprise for the cold.

"Don't you dare" she said chuckling.

"Or?" he asked teasing.

He wouldn't have done it, he knew water was something she was afraid of so he would have never even thought about doing something that might scare her, even if it was just to play or for fun. Somehow she knew it too, knew he was just joking and he wouldn't have done anything.

"Or i won't kiss you anymore" she answered looking down at him, biting her lower lip, trying to suppress her accomplished smile.

He raised from the water, standing in front of her, inches from her lips and she had to let out a deep breath in order to clam down and not to let out the moan that was trying to escape her throat. She looked into his green eyes and she just couldn't take it. She raised on her tiptoes and left a kiss on his lips.

"See, you just kissed me, I won" he smiled.

"I chose to kiss you, you didn't win anything, also, because there was nothing to win" she answered confused.

"Then why do I feel like I won?" he asked looking into her eyes, making her blush.

Their gaze was interrupted by a wave crashing on Cal's back, who shivered. He suddenly realized the waves were getting every second more and more strong and high.
