Chapter: 65

The next couple weeks flies by. Mr. Downy was relieved when I told him is wife isn't cheating on him but is surprising him with a boat. He couldn't be more grateful and he pays me extra because he was so happy with my services. He tells me he knows a few people he will refer me to and that makes me very excited.

Mrs. Flemming comes in and I show her all the pictures. She keeps us on retainer, so she pays her next amount and tells me to keep up the good work.

On Saturday, Patrick and I go to the bank and we combine our accounts. It feels weird having a shared bank account but amazing at the same time. After that, we go shopping cause Patrick needs work suits and I just love to shop. We get a bunch of stuff and I get some new swim wear. It's my birthday this week and Patrick's is in 2 weeks so we are having a low key beach day to celebrate. I am pretty excited to get back on the surf board, Jen and I went a few times after work but I'm excited to spend the day on the beach.

The day has come and I am so excited to just lay on the beach and relax. Patrick is in his black trunks and a black and white stripped button down that is mostly open. He has on his converse and some black aviators. I put on my new skin colored bikini with a pair of jean shorts and a red, navy, cream, yellow and black striped shirt of Patricks. I don't bother doing anything with my hair or makeup cause I will be in the ocean. I pack up my duffle with a change of clothes, my sunscreen, surf wax, Jake's stuff cause he's coming with, a bottle of whiskey, a few packs of cigarettes and a large bag of weed and rolling papers. I put my wallet in there, my small camera, some extra film and a couple of towels. I grab the stuff and I meet Patrick in the kitchen. He is filling up a large cooler with a bunch of beers and a come cokes. 'Happy birthday, baby' he says giving me a kiss.

'Thanks, babe but I'm pretty sure you wished me happy birthday multiple times last night' I say and he laughs.

'I can tell, you have hickeys all over your neck and chest' he says kissing each one.

'No thanks to you, but you have one too, babe' I say kissing his neck.

'Good, you know I love showing you off to everyone' he says kissing me again.

'Babe, I don't want to be late' I say pulling away.

'I know, you're just so fucking sexy' he says kissing me quickly again.

We load up everything in the car including our board and Jack. We drive to Hermosa Beach and Jen and Anthony are there waiting.

'Hey, sorry. We had to pack up a bunch of shit' Patrick says getting out.

'No worries, it was like ten minutes maximum. Happy birthday Jo' Anthony says giving me a hug.

'Thanks' I say.

'Happy birthday' Jen says jumping and giving me a huge hug.

'Thanks' I say, smiling and hugging her back.

We find a great spot and we set up. It's a little after 9 so there is only surfers here. We put our boards in the sand and the boys make a second trip. Jen looks adorable in a red bikini and some white shorts. Anthony is wearing some blue shirts, a white button down and his dark rimmed glasses. His style has changed since going out with Jen, it's more relaxed and he looks more comfortable.

They set up the umbrella, and they spread beach blankets down that we can sit on. We set the coolers behind us and set our stuff down next to them. We tie up Jack on the heaviest one and he lays down in the shade. I pull out a bowl from my duffle and I fill it with some water in case he gets hots but in the shade he will be fine. I grab may surf wax and I wax my board. Jen does the same.
