EPILOUGE III

Rory POV

I began paddling a little further out to where the water had a higher tide

I needed to ride a large enough wave to feel something and the waves today closer to shore weren't it doing it for me

The water was glistening, clear, and blue so i could see all sorts of wildlife under me which i couldn't help but admire

I gathered my dark soaked hair and brought it to one side of my shoulder and began ringing it out to pass the time until the waves built up enough to satisfy me

I was suddenly caught off guard by the feeling of something brushing against my foot

What the fuck was that?

Just as i was about the freak out a baby dolphin poked its head out from under my surfboard and began clicking in excitement

"Jesus little one you fucking scared me" I let out a sigh of relief "I thought you were a shark or something" I chuckled to myself reaching down to rub the melon of the dolphin half the size of my board. He began clicking even louder as i was doing so. He truly couldn't be more than a few days old

Where was his mother? I hope she's near but she couldn't have been

Just when i looked up in search for any sign of another dolphin i was caught off guard by a wave and I was immediately pushed underwater and caught in an undertow causing me to stay as calm as i could and swim parallel before it was clear enough for me to resurface and just as i was about to swim back up to the surface the same juvenile dolphin began swimming around me in circles making the same clicking sound

Is something wrong? Should i be worried about something?

The dolphin started brushing against me again—worrying me. I know they're typically friendly animals but they're not usually this close to shore and approachable to humans

Maybe he's trying to tell me something?

I didn't have time to think about it any longer, i was running out of breath and i doubt the dolphin would be able to do anything about that so began swimming up to the surface and looking around for my board. It was only a couple of feet away so i swam toward it and sat back on top of it annoyed at myself for missing the biggest wave of the day

The sun was just beginning to set and i'd have to make my way back home but i could stay for awhile and watch the sunset and that's exactly what i did

During the duration of the sun setting all i could think about was that dolphin. Calf babies are hardly left alone without a mother but he was. The mother—She couldn't be near because she wouldn't have allowed him to get that close to me without showing up

I'm not even sure if the dolphin is a 'he' but regardless he worried me

For fuck sakes why am i overthinking about a dolphin? If anything's wrong i'll alert the coast guard and they'll handle it.

I sighed and made my way back toward shore. So much for surfing today. That wave, It fucking engulfed me and brought me down with it damn near killing me but whatever

When i reached shore i stepped out of my wetsuit, dried off and began walking home.

It was only the end of July and school would be starting in a couples of weeks and i still had loads to do but that isn't my main concern right now

I still have a week to further enjoy the Hawaiian beach life until we moved back into our house in the city

Harley really went all out when it came to living comfortably as she'd put it, buying both a beach house for the summer and main house in the middle of the city for when the summer was over and we'd be back to our everyday lives.
