Walk with me

Chapter 4

Before I knew it we were at a beautiful beach and no one was there. It had crystal waters and the trees were like free swaying people in the light breeze that was in the air. The clouds were puffy like cotton candy and I watched as they made shapes in the sky. "Close your eyes" he said as we were getting out of the car. "But I already seen --" "no I have a surprise waiting for you on the beach." He said while covering my eyes with on hand and holding my hand with the other.
          Carefully guiding me, we ended up stopping. "Hey girly!" I heard a chipper yet sweet voice so I opened my eyes.  "Stacy!"  I screamed in joy and we jumped up and down hugging each other. "Michael told me everything! How are you holding up? And is he a good kisser? When did it happen?" She was so excited. I couldn't blame her though.
           Me and Stacy are first cousins and she's older than me by one year. She is married to her high school sweet heart, Timothy Rogers. He's nice though so I can't complain. He always treats her like a queen! And put it this way he saved her life.
          When she was sixteen her boyfriend was abusing her. His name was jake dally and he was the worst person when he was drunk exotically to Stacy. Anyway jake was making threats to her with his knife and she was pinned against the wall and next thing she knew her left upper leg was bleeding like crazy because the stupid jerk, jake stabbed her in the main artery in the leg! And she was screaming and that's when Timothy showed up. He knocked out jake and got Stacy to the hospital and that's when jake went to jail and they started going out.
         "One question at a time girl I can't answer if you keep talking!" I say while laughing. And Michael is leaning against a tree looking at us and smiling. He knows how much she means to me. We talk for what seems hours and Stacy has to go home so we say good bye and she leaves.
         "It's a beautiful night Michael." I say in a soft tone as I sit on the soft sand at the edge of the water just close enough for that sparkling water to touch my toes. "Yeah it is and that's why I brought a tent with us. So we can sleep here!" He says while smiling. I love his smile. "Ok just behave or else" I say to him while giving him that "touch me your toast" look. And he starts laughing. "Don't worry it has a Centre flap so it makes two rooms" I was kind of relived but at they same time upset. He could hold me while we sleep like In those cheesy love movies. "Ok" so I get ready and enter the tent. It was huge and he was right there is two rooms. So I got on my side and he got on his.
        It was at least 2:00 in the morning now but I still couldn't sleep. As for Michael, he was sound to sleep! So I got up quietly and left the tent and sat on the same spot I was earlier. I folded my knees up so they touched my chin and I sat like that, with my arms around my knees. It was quiet until I heard foot steps. " hey kell what's wrong?" He said half asleep. He sat down next to me and wrapped his arms around me. And leaned his head on mine. "Couldn't sleep. you?" I say now lying on his lap. "I had a .....nightmare." He said in a low soft worrying voice. "What was is about?"I said softly cuddling into him more. "Well you ......" His voice was shaking and he started to cry. I got up and hugged him and kissed him. "It's ok.we'll be ok" we were hugging for about an hour. "Do you want to sleep on my side of the tent?" I asked him because I wanted to actually sleep and I wanted him to not worry. "Ok I won't do anything I promise." He was happier now. So we got up and went to the tent. He old down next to me we were very close and it's even worse he took his shirt off and I seen his abs! And his other muscles. I guess he was warm but his muscles against me were so hard and warm I felt so safe. He started to play with my hair and sing all of me by John legend. I was so warm and cozy and fully of happy feelings and all I could hear was the sound of the enchanting waves and his soothing voice slowly singing me to sleep and it worked.
