36 - byler beach trip pt 2 :))

*continuation of last chapter*
*switch to Will pov*

I stand at the edge of the sandy boardwalk and stare out at the sparking, deep blue ocean with my eyes wide open in awe. I've only been to the beach once, but I was too little to remember, so this is like my first time.

I squeeze Mike's hand a little tighter and we quickly walk hand in hand down the stairs, our pace slowing when we get to the warm sand. The sound of the ocean waves hitting the beach fills my ears as we set our stuff down and put on sunscreen.

"You ready to go in the water?" Mike asks as I try not to blush at the sight of him in a swim suit.

"Absolutely." I say. He takes my hand in his and suddenly starts running towards the crashing waves, not stopping when our feet get enveloped by the freezing water. I try to stop, but it's no use. He pulls me until we are a little more than waist deep, both shivering.

"It's freezing!" I say, swimming closer to him. Without saying anything, he goes under the surface of the deep water and pulls me down with him, both of us coming up for air a few seconds later and brushing our wet hair out of our eyes.

I slowly tread water until we are face to face, standing up as our eyes meet.

"This is perfect. You're perfect." I say quietly against the sound of the ocean. He cups my cold face in his hand, pulling my face to his and pressings his lips gently against mine. I wrap my arms around his neck and his hands find my waist in the water, pulling me close. When we finally pull away, we are both still shivering.

We swim and laugh and splash each other for hours on end, the water making our bodies numb in a matter of minutes. When we are finally tired, Mike pulls me into shore as I laugh at his efforts.

When our feet touch the warm sand again, goosebumps cover my body from head to toe and we both sprawl out on our towels that we connected in the sand to make one. We put our sunglasses on and lay on our backs, staring up at the fluffy clouds above.

"Will?" I hear Mike say.

"Yeah?" I ask, still staring at the blue sky.

"I'm really lucky to have you. I'm just so happy right now." Mike says. I can feel butterflies in my stomach and my face blush as I turn onto my side to admire his gorgeous features. He does the same.

"Oh, Mike. I wish words could say how in love with you I am." I say, a smile appearing on his blushing face. He kisses my cheek lightly and lays back over on his back, signaling for me to scoot towards me.

I move over and lay on my stomach, laying my head on his bare and still cold skin. My cheek lays on his chest and I get nervous when he puts his arm around my back and holds me closer to him.

"I love you." I say softly.

"I love you too." he says back.

I drift slowly off to sleep from the sounds of the waves and the feeling of his chest rising and falling as he breathes calmly.
