Just Keep Breathing

Sunset

Day 3 Morning :You begged me to go to the beach. You have such a deep love for the water and the sand. You even designed your own back home. I agreed. I threw on a cute dress over my bikini. You wear your bathing suits everyday anyway. We went out to the beach. I was looking for a place to leave our stuff. You were already in the water. I walked to the shoreline. The water was cold and the edges were rocky. I sat in the sand and let the tide come in over me. You swam back to me, and laid down. I gave you a massage. You always love when I play with your hair and rub your back. The salt water made your long locks tangled and thick and your skin was becoming golden from the rays of the southern sun above us. We went for lunch. I wasn't feeling well. We snuck into a high end club. They thought we were guests. Actually, we may have stuck out like a sore thumb since  we certainly weren't dressed like we belonged there. We walked along the dock. you jumped right in the water. I swear you're part fish. I sat at the steps. I didn't want to go through the hassle of unlacing my corset. I decided to go in with my clothes on. You were amazed I did that. You said it was the most attractive thing you have ever seen. You said you wish you had your camera to record that moment in slow motion. You said I am not like other girls. I swam over to you. I'm too short to stand in the water. you grabbed me and I put my arms over your shoulders. You kissed me. It was salty from the water. We laughed. You told me to let go. you held me at my back. I was so scared. You told me to float. I was scared you would drop me. You told me to trust you. I let go. You balanced me in your palms. You told me to feel the waves and to relax. I knew I was safe in your arms. You brought me in close again. I put my head on your shoulder. I started shivering. I was getting cold. You said it was time to go. We came back on the dock. You put your towel around me. We watched a man catch fish after fish over the side of the dock. You were fascinated by the pelicans that soared above the water. You told me how you got an up- close shot of one the last time you seen one. We went to find your friends but we had no luck. We came across a hammock on the beach. I know you love them. You didn't hesitate to climb in it. You wanted me to climb in with you but I wanted to take your picture. You opened your arms wide and gave me a huge smile as you swung back and forth. I must have ten or twenty pictures from just this day alone. I put my stuff down and climbed inside with you. My clothes are still damp. I shivered against you. You pulled up the side of the hammock over me like a blanket and held me tight. You used the tree next to us to push off of. we swayed as the wind blew through the palms of the trees above us. Paradise. I don't know how much time passed. It's sunset now and we woke up to find your friends waiting for us. I quickly snapped a picture of the rainbow colors that filled the sunsetting sky. We went back home.

Day 3 Night: You wanted to go out to a party. I still wasn't feeling good. My stomach hurt and I loved that your rubbed it the whole way home. I took a hot shower the moment I came home. As I got out and got dressed you knocked on the door. I let you in. You asked me again if I was sure I was too sick to not go out. I gave you the puppy dog eyes. You felt bad and hugged me. You said you'd stay with me if I really wasn't feeling good. I didn't want to ruin your time. I told you to go have fun. You rolled your eyes and laughed. You said you weren't going to leave me. I smiled and hugged you tight. You asked me if I at least wanted to go for a swim. I figured that would be okay. I through on another bikini and met you outside. We sat in the hot tub. The bubbles rumbled and turned against us as the temperature kept at a toasty one- hundred and four degrees. My burn from the first day really hurt against the heat though. I tried not to get my hand in the water. We ended up walking over to the pool. It felt really cold compared to the hot tub. You always convince me to do crazy things. there were random floaties in the pool that other people had left during the day. We had a splash fight. We were like little kids going to town. One floaty I tried to sit on. My feet didn't touch the ground. You giggled and said I looked like a little seahorse. I blushed and giggled. I'm your little seahorse.

We went back inside. I ordered us all pizza. I served all the food. You said I was the best. Your friends were jealous. you disappeared. I went to find you. You were asleep in bed. I laid next to you. You said you didn't feel well. I rubbed your back. We dozed off. I was awoken multiple times by you. You would walk around and lay back down. You went to the bathroom and laid back down. You said you still didn't feel well. I felt bad. I never want my baby to hurt. You said you would leave so I could sleep but I told you to not be ridiculous and to come lay down. You were burning up. I got you some water. I placed a cold rag on your head. I turned on the fan. I just wanted you to be comfortable. You tossed and turned and moaned next to me. You finally fell asleep. What a relief...
