The summer of 1990. The month July. The day mild and breezy. The summer camp was full of children playing on the beach.
Lynette worked as a shop assistant at the Trecco Bay Greens.
Jason often came into the shop in the summers, but this year it would be a summer to remember.
This year, he entered the shop where Lynette worked and immediately felt transfixed by her beauty. Afraid to speak, Jason witnessed the natural beauty flow from her. Her long brown hair, half covered her face.
As she saw how tall he was, Lynette felt dumbstruck.
With his friends seeing how he was taken in by her beauty, they begun teasing him by calling him from the shop.
Coming out, he felt disappointed. The girl in the shop did not give him a second glance, or so he thought.
Stephen joked with him, "You fancy her, don't you?"
Jason shook his head, blushing, "Get lost, she is only a kid."
As they walked to the beach, Jason kept looking over his shoulder to see if he could catch a glimpse of the girl who had served him.
Soon, the shop was out of sight and his heart sank. Was this a one off?
After an hour on the beach, Jason had to go back to the shop to see if he could see her again.
When her father served him, his heart sank. Looking past him to the back as her father begun serving, he asked for a mars bar.
Lynette emerged from the back while her father served. Upon seeing Jason, she slammed the door, leaving a trail of cold air run through the shop.
Jason handed a pound coin to him.
As her father handed the change back, he looked at the door his daughter had just closed.
Jason left, mars bar in one hand, change in the other.
********************
Feeling her stomach behind the closed door, she knew something was there, instincts kicked in. The father of the child was unknown, someone had to love her soon,and she had found the person she was going to use. Afraid to tell her fahter she was pregnant without a father for the child, she had to go after him. Lynette left from the back door.
Her father came, calling her name but got no reply. Seeing the back door open, he ran to see where she had gone. He looked at his daughter and a boy he did not know together. In a funny way, he was glad. It was time she found a young man. Waiting all these years for one to come and this one turned up on her doorstep..
Her mother came, asking her father, "Was that Lynette?"
Her father nodded.
From what her mother could see of him, he seemed a nice man, but she had a motto, first impressions do not always last where boys are concerned. "She will be alright, won't she?" her mother asked.
Her father replied, "She will not find anyone standing in the house or shop all day."
********************
The night air was soon upon both Lynette and Jason. The night felt mild. The sky full of stars and a half moon, Lynette enticed Jason to play her games, successfully. Under the stars, the sand shone like diamonds. Lynette lay on the diamonds, feeling the urge of pleasure watching Jason undress.
