summer love

chapter 1.

her.

i've always loved the beach ever since i was little but somehow this time seemed different. i was now an adult not going for the pleasure of building sand castles or swimming till my legs hurt. this time i was going to party.

(right before)

"naomi?" my boyfriend calls out "i don't think this is gonna work out." words i never thought i would hear coming out of the man i saw my future with. "what do you mean?!" i simply say confused. "we've been together for 3 years and i do love you. but i've met a girl and when i took that trip a week ago.. i slept with her." he had no sense of guilt on his face after saying that. "is this a joke" the words kinda burned as the came out making my eyes water. "i'm sorry naomi. i just thought you should know." with that he picked up his bag and walked out the door of our apartment. i couldn't bring myself to go after him, after all that dirtbag cheated on me. but in a way i wanted to. i wanted to run up to him and say we could fix things, it made me feel dumb for spending 3 years with a man for him to throw it all away for some girl he had just met. instead i fell to the floor my heart ached as if it was about to burst. the first few months were very hard, but summer rolled around in no time. and i made a plan to travel to my home town.

(now)

as i got to the beach it was late and the ocean looked peaceful. i was home but something was off. as i looked down i saw a man sitting in the sand gazing at the stars reflecting on the ocean. i slowly walked down to the beach from the dock parking lot. i was way to scared to go sit next to him so i would keep my distance. after all i haven't found one guy who just wanted a good time all of the guys wanted to settle down and make me a house wife. which i was not down for. i wanted to party and have open options. which is why i came here. he would be my next target.
