Kiara had never been to this part of the island before. Where was JJ taking her? And why? He drove her of the road and through a wooded area until they came out in a small clearing of the beach, there were purple flowers growing everywhere,logs set up all round a burnt out fire, fairy lights hanging all around across the trees. It felt secluded and private and peaceful.
"How have I never been here before?" Kiara asked looking around in awe as she hopped of his bike.
" it's sorta a town secret, people know about it but no one ever talks about it"
" that the rule" he smirks
She giggles
JJ gestures and starts walking towards a particular tree and as Kiara slowly gets closer she notices the thousands of photos, ribbons, bells and mementos dangling from every branch. There was also too many names and words engraved in the bark to count.
" what is this" she asks again in awe.
" this is pogue life"
JJ climbs up the tree, almost to the very top and returns just as quickly, but this time holding something in his hand.
"What's that she reaches out her hand and JJ playfully passes it in between his hands and out of her reach. She gives up and his hands still as they both laugh.
" it's me and my mum. She used to bring me here all the time when I was really little, and thankfully she never told my dad so it's like a retreat away from reality"
" he can't find me here" he adds softly stroking the photo lightly pausing over his mums face.
Kiara reaches for his hand lightly and gives him a reassuring smile when he turns to look at her.
" it beautiful"
" just wait, when the sun rises it hits here in just the right place, it's breathtaking" JJ squints his eyes as he frames the ocean with his fingers and making a camera sound.
"JJ Maybank, did you bring me here to watch the sunrise with you?" She asks cheekily.
"Why yes Miss Carrera, I certainly did"
" that's not for hours, what are we supposed to do in the mean time?"
JJ gives Kiara a cheeky wink and she raises her eyebrows.
He walks over to a tree and somehow pulls a board from behind it. " what do you think these are for?"
" but how.."
" you always need some in case of an emergency surf"
" and you have a lot of those do you?" She questions
"We'll I pretty surf in response to every emotion, so yeah, quite a lot" he chuckles
" and what emotion are you wanting to surf in response to now?" She asks shyly
"Now that would be telling"
He just stares into her eyes for what feels like forever and offers a warm smile.
She returns the smile and doesn't break their eye contact.
" come on" he says and nods his head towards the water.
" let's go"
