Chapter 47

*Jack's POV*

We agreed to meet at the beach around 3. After packing the last bit of my stuff to bring to California, I then packed a bag containing sunscreen, sunglasses, my phone along with an earphone and a gift box for Erika.

I took a quick look inside the box before placing it into the bag. I bought her a box of chocolate, a charm bracelet and a lip gloss. Her favorite.

Perfect.

I headed to the beach when I realized it had passed 3. Pulling up at the parking spot, I scanned for any sign of Erika.

She was lying down on one of the beach chair, getting herself tanned.

Sneaking up on her, I shouted from being her. It made her shocked and flipped off from the chair.

She face splat on the sand. It made me chuckle when she got up because her face was full with sand. She must've put sunscreen on her face too.

"I'm sorry" I chuckled between my lines.

"Its not funny Jack!" She hit my arm.

"You look ridiculous" I laughed harder.

"Shut up Jack" she gave me an evil face and walked towards me.

Oh no. She's gonna chase me. I ran away as fast as I could but after a few steps she jumped on top of me and we both fell down.

"You think its funny huh?" She asked, holding down onto my shoulder before I escape.

"Alright..alright. You win! I surrender" I said, throwing my hands in the air.

Only a smirk was plastered on her face. I pulled her in for a kiss but immediately pulled away as the sand started to get in my mouth "eww..you taste like sand!" I joked.

Her face turned red and she hit me on the shoulder. She got off of me and headed to the wash room immediately.

I chuckled by her reaction when I pulled away. I went back to where she was sitting and took out my phone to listen to some songs.

She came back after 5 minutes. Does it take that long to wash off sand from your face? She must be really mad at me.

Her face was still serious. "There's my girl" I ran to hug her. Her eyes were red and her hair was messy. I could tell you that she had a hard time washing that off.

"I hate you so much" is the only thing she said.

I kissed her on the forehead and grabbed her hand "here" I said as I placed the gift box that I bought for her, on her hand.

"You didn't have to" her expression was priceless as she took a look inside the box.

"What do you wanna do next?" I asked looking around the beach.

"Hmm..let's go build a sandcastle!!!" She screams as she said sandcastle and throw her arms in the air like a little kid.

She ran off to where the sand was damp. I followed behind her and got myself sat down where the water meets the sand.

I was enjoying the view but something wet was thrown at my cheek. Looking at Erika, her face was innocent as ever.

What did I do?

Well one word will do it.

Revenge.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After our day at the beach we went home to get some rest after all that sand fight.

I lied down on my bed to catch some sleep. We planned to go to the cinema at 8. Just the both of us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My alarm clock rang, flashing 7:30 on it. I got up and washed myself. When I got out of the bathroom, it was around 7:57 and I already knew that I was going to be late.

Immediately, I walked to the closet and put on my jeans and a plain T-shirt, I mean, it's not like a big night or anything, so why bothered dressing up?

Making a ribbon on my shoe lace, I walked to Erika's pavement and waited patiently.

"Hey Jack" she waved as she walks out of the door. Good thing that she didn't dressed up because if she do, I'd look stupid on our day out.

She wore her navy blue shorts and a white tank top. To top it off, her messy bun looks pretty good and her makeup was done nicely too.

"Want a piggy back ride?" I asked, already knew her answer.

"Can I have a unicorn back ride...pleaseeee. I don't like pigs" she answered jokingly, acing like a little girl.

"Alright alright...fine" I laughed as she hopped on my back.

(The Cinema)

Turned out, there were no movies that was enjoyable to watch so we decided to go to the park.

(The Park)

We were sitting on the swing and both being too timid to talk until a little girl asked if she could play with the swing, since we both took control over them.

Erika stood up and let the little girl play with the swing. She plays along with her. As the little girl got herself seated, Erika pushed her lightly.

I sat there smiling at her. Oh how I am going to miss her so much in one month. She took a quick look at me with her sweetest smile and back at the little girl.

I swear to god, who is this little girl? She made my girl happy tonight. Bless her.

"Molly, c'mon let's go" a women who I assume is the little girl's mother, said to her.

"Awright mommy" the little girl who is named Molly replied.

Erika waved to Molly as she walks away with her mother.

"What do you want to do now?" I asked, as I made my way towards her and wrapped my arms around her waist.

She shrugged "let's head home. Its getting pretty dark" she turned to face me.

"Ok" I smiled and kissed her forehead.

We walked on the pavements and let the silence took over the night.

Tonight didn't go quite as what I was expected but its fine I guess. We're going to meet again anyways.

"Jack" Erika lightly pushed my arm. I shook my head and came back to my sense that we already reached our house.

"Oh yea. So I'll see you at California" I lean in for a kiss on her lips. She tip-toed and wrapped her arms around my neck.

"See you there" she whispered into my ear. I wrapped my hand around her waist and didn't let go because I don't want this moment to end just yet.
