The beeping of alarm woke me out of my deep sleep. 5 A.M, my day starts with the usual routine. I brushed my teeth, had a cold face bath, got dressed in a loose tank top and shorts, and put on my running shoes for my hour-long run. Being a high school basketball team captain asked for a lot of physical exertion and I was definitely down for what it took to get there and maintain that position. Plus, it made the ladies drool.

A few were good enough for one-night stands but the ordinary ones, they just always went crazy......screaming and crying for my attention, dying to get one look, and I rarely acknowledged their existence they'd go so far and spread a rumour that I slept with them or worse, I had a relationship with them.

Putting on my earbuds I open our front door and the cool morning breeze greets me, hitting start on my workout playlist I jog and pick up my pace after a couple of minutes. Almost hour later, I jog to the beach, climb on the wooden deck and do some push ups, crunches and lunges. The crashing sound of waves hitting the shore is my most favourite sound in the whole world. Earbuds long kept back in my shorts, I revel in the sound of  waves.

It's almost six, and the sun is rising, illuminating the sky with a stunning blue and gold hue. Inhaling deeply, I take in the breathtaking sight, "What a painting God! you are one hell of an artist" a huge wave crashes on a boulder and in my field of view something little catches my sight. I have to strain to see it, there's a girl.......walking along the coast, her long white skirt flailing behind her like the tail of a white peacock, and her hair dancing in the wind like waves.

 All alone she resembled an angel overseeing the waters. I took out my phone and snapped a couple of shots, the entire view becomes her backdrop, it would be a shame if I didn't paint the entire scene into a canvas. Her face is impossible to make at this distance but she looks so peaceful...... padding slowly , without hurrying to get someplace, do something, or be ideal for other people.

She seems to have thrown away all the worries of the world. I want to be like her, her freedom makes me a little jealous. I hope she stays this carefree so I can come here every day and observe her from a distance and be inspired. It occured to me that i have never admired a girl's beauty like this ever before. 

I think I have just found my muse.

I didn't realise all this time I was smiling until the buzz of my smartwatch breaks my mirage and throws me back to reality. I stand up dusting my palms off the sand. My workout is done. I take one last look at the sea angel and begin jogging back home.

I take a long shower dreading to go to school and see the similar faces staring holes into me. Wiping my hair with a small towel and bigger one wrapped around my waist I exit my bathroom and open the wardrobe, toss a pair of black cargo pants and a grey hoodie on the bed.

I take off the towel and bend to put on my underwear. Just as I was about to reach for my pants on the bed, I pause midway, my eyes dart to something rather someone looking at me from the window across mine. Through the thick foliage, I can clearly make out her face. She stands frozen at her spot, eyes wide like saucers and a piece of toast on the verge of falling out of her lips due to her wide open mouth. It dawns to her that I just caught her staring at my naked ass and she dunks with a lightning speed.

Seriously? What's the point in hiding now?

Much to her chagrin, I shout "I saw you" 

I chuckle and turn around to put on my clothes. I grab my bag and skip through the stairs walking straight to the dining table. A bowl of oatmeal and bananas already severed for me. Mum and Potato having their own breakfast, father nowhere in sight, must be off to his business meetings in some other state or country, barely around......as always. I am in fact relieved that he isn't around and breathing down my neck. Munching on my breakfast peacefully I scratched Bam when he put his head on my lap.
