Chapter 2

TAZ POV

There She stood. Smiling at me and I'm staring at her like an total idiot. „I was looking for you last Night, but Enzo told me you left early. So i asked your friends where to find you and they told me that you're here or at the Beach. And you weren't at the Beach so, I hope it's ok, that I'm here?" She looked at me through her bright Blue eyes, waiting for me to answer. „Uhm, yeah it's fine. I wasn't feeling well last night so i left. What can i do for you?" Gosh... I sound like a Waiter. „Well i saw you Surfing and i was so impressed. Maybe you can teach me a bit? But i have to warn you! I'm clumsy." She smiled and blushed while looking down to the ground. I scratched my neck again. „Uhm... I never teached someone, but i can try" She looked up and smiled at me again. She then runned towards me and hugged me tightly suddenly. I was Surprised by her actions but hugged her back. „So i'm Emma Marie" „Well Mimi" I laughed at her. She looked at me in confusion. „Mimi?" „Yeah, i think it fits you. My Name is Tarek Yassin, but everyone calls me Taz." She smiles widely. „Well TJ." Now my eyes widened. „What?! You started off with the nicknames." She laughed and i shook my Head and started to laughed with her. Her laugh is as melodic as her voice when She's Singing. „How old are you TJ?" I looked at her while we're on our way to the Beach. „I turn 16 in December and you?" She looked at me. „I turn 19 next week. So i Celebrate my Birthday here. Maybe you like to join me?" She turns 19... WOW 3 Years between us. And did She just invited me to her Birthday Party? „Yeah. I mean why not. Who's going to be there?" She looked right away to the waves down at the Beach. „Well right now i only know you, so You." She laughed nervously and then smiled in my direction. „I'll take that as a compliment." „Yeah. I don't let many People close to me. But you seem nice. When i saw you Yesterday i thought i had to get to know you." We laughed. „Me? Why me?" „I don't know. It was a feeling i had. So when does the lesson starts?" We Laughed. She's different. Honest. I like that about her. She is like the Sun. Smiles the whole time. That makes me wanna smile too. „Let's start Today?" She nodded and i grabbed one of my boards from the back yard before we walked to the Beach. On the Way we talked a bit. When we arrived I laid the Board down in the Sand and Started to show her the initials of how to stand on it and how to get on it. Then we walked down to the Water but not deep just to start the first paddles. She wasn't lying when She told me that She was a bit clumsy. It was really funny and we Laughed a lot. After a few hours we put the Board back in the Sand and sat next to it. „So you're from London huh?" „Yeah. Not so much Sun. But still a Beautiful City. So much Creativity to find." She looked at me and smiled. „Well I'm half British. My mom's British. But I'm born here. I love it here, but i definitely wanna see the world." „Yeah, me too. The Sun here is so Amazing. It feels so warm and soft on my skin. I love it. I'm half British too. The other half is German." She looked down to the sea. Like she already discovers it. „German? That sounds cool. So You speak two Languages too?" Her head turns to me and She nods. „German is such a funny Language. Really! Sometimes when i hear it or speak it i still have to laugh." We both laugh. „Maybe you can teach me some Spanish. It's such a beautiful Language." She laid herself back down in the Sand. „Yeah maybe. If you Teach some German" We both laughed again. „Wanna grab something to drink at Enzos?" I Looked at her. I didn't Expected that. „Yeah, why not. Just need to bring the board back. Let's say in 30?" She nodded and we separated. I don't guess it's a date but I'm still exited. I did my best to be on Point, and i was but She was nowhere to be seen. 10 Minutes later She came around the corner. „Sorry I'm late. I decided to take a shower. I hope you didn't waited that long?" She looked so Apologetic that i shook my head. „No everything's fine. Let's go inside." She laughed and we got a Seat at the Window. Enzo saw us entering and came as soon as we took our seats. „Hello Taz, Emma, what can i do for you?" He looked at us, smiling i bet he's thinking we do have a date. „I'll Take a Sprite." She said smiling at him. „A coke Enzo" He smiled. „As you two wish." We looked at Each other and couldn't help but started laughing. "Why is he acting so strange?" She asked while taking a deep breath. „He things we're having a Date..." I looked at her smiling. Trying to hide my next laugh. Her eyes widened in shock making her look so funny. I couldn't help but to laugh again. She looked at me confused why I'm laughing again. „You just looked to funny." I tried to copy her face which made her laugh even harder. Enzo came back with our drinks and the thought, that he thinks we actually, already have a date, made us laugh again. I love seeing her laughing. It's like the Sun. Her eyes shine so bright and her freckles are dancing on her Nose. She's really Beautiful. „Do you know how Beautiful you look when you're laughing?" I said. Now my eyes widened. F*CK Did i just said that out lout? „You really think so?" I nod and scratched my neck „Thank you." She turned Red, like her Hair. „You look kinda cute yourself too while laughing or, you know, smiling." She said while smiling down to the Table. Okay. Now i feel the Heat coming onto my face. And i do it just like her. Looking down to the Table. Smiling widely. „Thanks." Scratching my neck again. F*CK. She really got me. She looks so beautiful sitting there, wearing a Red dress that fit's her Hair and a Red bandana in her Hair. Her Blue eyes shining Like the Stars. The evening just got longer. Funnier. I got to know so much about her. That she left her Family in Germany behind for her dream to become a Musician and moved to London. And She's already made good steps. Can live from her Music. I Told her that i love to Shape Boards and i can think of doing that forever, but that I'm also open for new things. That i definitely will travel the World. See new Places. That i left school for my boards and already earn good money with it. She was fascinated by it, just as i was fascinated by her Story. Her Dreams. I'm Fascinated by her. Let's see where this is going to end.
