The Nice Guy {#Wattys2017}

Life isn't a day on the beach

I took a sharp intake of breath thinking deeply on what I should wear. Shorts or jeans? That had to be the hardest question ever asked.

Today was Saturday, Justin and I had planned on hanging out so that we could 'reconnect'...whatever that's suppose to mean. We were going to go out to eat and then to the beach where we use to go all the time when we were kids. I left my hair in its natural wavy state and pulled on some shorts and a simple white tank top that flowed out a little. I quickly grabbed my red bikini and threw it into a bag before running out of the house. Luckily there is some public transportation not too far from where I live so I could take the bus to the cafe we were eating at. It stinks not having a car but I'll manage.

When I arrived Justin was already seated, he looked so nervous twiddling his thumbs. I giggled to myself quietly before walking over to the table.

"Hey sorry I hope you weren't waiting too long, Mrs. Fingling was holding up the bus again.." I say sighing.
"Oh no! I haven't been waiting that
lo-" he cut himself off processing my words fully, "You took the bus? I would've came to pick you up if I would've known that!" he said with a look of concern.

"No it's totally okay! I love taking the bus, I've done it for years" I say trying to keep a smile on but he was getting a bit too personal for me, I can take care of myself ya know.

He seemed to pick up on my uncomfortablilty so he dropped the subject. We ended up talking and laughing about old memories for over an hour before I suggested that we head over to the beach. The cafe was right off of the beach so all we had to do was walk.

When we got there I went straight for the bathroom so I could change into my bikini.

"Why am I so fat?" I said in a whisper to myself as I looked into the mirror. I knew this was a bad idea, he's gonna think I'm gross..even I think that I look gross..

When I exited the restroom my attention was immediately caught by Justin's abs and muscles that were currently flexing as he stretched. I suddenly felt very nervous as my heart raced. It took him no time at all to notice me standing there. His eyes seemed to bulge a little as his face almost looked like it had reddened; I knew that he wasn't blushing over me though.

"Wow Addy you look..great" he said giving me an embarrassed smile that made me blush as deeply colored as my bathing suit. "Thank you, so do you" I squeaked out as we both blushed hard. He awkwardly coughed to break the silence and I suddenly came back to reality.

He got into the water first but I was scared that it was too cold, good job Addy you're officially the 1# scardey cat of the world.

"Addy please come into the water?" Justin pleaded for what felt like the hundredth time. I shook my head pouting like a young child. He gave me the puppy dog eyes that made me melt a little on the inside but I shook my head again, "It's too cold!"

He looked around for a moment and then looked back at me with a devilish smirk playing on his lips. In no time at all he was running out of the water chasing me. I squealed laughing so hard that it made my throat hurt.

Have you ever had that feeling where you knew that you had no chance at getting away so you just dropped to the ground and curled into a ball? You haven't? Well I have and that's exactly what I did.

"What are you doing Addy?" he said laughing. "Well I figure if I can't see you then you can't see me" I said in my ball form while covering my eyes. He started to laugh hard and I heard him walk closer.

Yep, this is the end for me. Tell my grandkids that I love them.

To my surprise he scoops me up bridal style still laughing silently and sits me down on a blanket that he layed out at some point. As I uncover my eyes I see him laying in his back looking up at the sun that starting to set. "So you're not going to drown me?" I squeak and he chuckled but shook his head, "today's your lucky day". We just lied there talking for hours about everything affecting us and I left out a few hard details but nonetheless, it felt good to have someone to talk to. Before we knew it we were staring up at the stars sleepily.

"It's beautiful isn't it? There's probably a whole other planet full of people looking down on us." he said peacefully.
"That actually seems a bit weird..what if they've seen us..naked" I whisper the last part.

"Of course that's what you'd think" he laughed breathlessly and laughed quietly along with him. It was like we were the only people left on the planet. I felt a comfort that I hadn't felt in a long time. I felt happy, it was like a happiness that filled you up so greatly that you thought you could do anything even if you would regret it in the morning.

I started to shiver as a cool breeze blew by and Justin seemed to notice because he pulled me over to him and wrapped his arms around me. I snuggled deeply into him absorbing his calming scent and I felt so relaxed.
I guess we were both tired because soon enough we fell asleep laying there; in each others arms.
