Sunset lover

Ezra

"You know I can't read your mind right ?" He said with a little laugh

"Right, I'm Lani" I said nervously. I'm not sure why I was feeling nervous I mean I had talked to other guys before obviously.

"Nice to meet you Lani, so you talk to yourself often?"

"Do you walk up to random strangers often?" I said back but avoiding eye contact

"I was actually going to ask you for a hit of your pipe" he said with a smirk

For some reason I couldn't make eye contact with Ezra without feeling nervous. He was tall brown hair, brown eyes, and super tan skin.

"You don't look like the type to smoke weed" I said as I handed him my pipe.

"And you don't look like the type of girl to sit and talk to themselves" he said as he took a big hit.

I couldn't help but laugh little did he know I was actually talking to my dead boyfriend.

"This your first time here? I've never seen you around and I would know I come everyday" I said still facing the sunset

"Yeah I just moved here I live at that blue beach house right over there" he said pointing to a tall house with colorful umbrellas outside.

"What's brings you to Cali" I said taking another big hit, I could feel the weed taking over my body. It felt amazing.

"Im going to the Los Angeles Film school"

"Oh wow you big on photography?"

"Yeah a little" he said, his eyes were super red.
"What are you doing in california"

"Well ive lived here my whole life, I go to Pepperdine university"

"What?! A christian girl smoking weed on the beach ? Hmm doesn't sound right" he said laughing

"I know right, but my parents think it would be good for me and save my soul"

"What do you mean save your soul? Are you like depressed or something" he said confused

"You know what, I should be heading out" I said packing my stuff. It was usually about my time to leave the sun had gone away. The word depressed had always bothered me.

"Did I say something wrong ? If I did I'm sorry" he said following me

"No, it's honestly just me I'm a soft person"

"I'm sorry, lemme make it up to you by grabbing lunch sometime" he said with sincerity in his eyes.

For some reason I had butterflies in my stomach again. I avoided eye contact. I had promised myself the day Jonah passed I would never let another guy in my life. but something about Ezra made me feel more alive than I had been since Jonahs passing.

"Ummm I'll think about it" I said with a smile

"Well lemme get your number so I know you're not playing me" he said with a smirk

I handed him my number and quickly turned around.

"I'll see you around Lani,maybe don't be so nervous next time" he said laughing

I didn't turn around I just kept walking to my car but the smile on my face wouldn't go away. I don't know why I'm feeling like this.
