Just Another Day

Chapter 14

Lilac's POV

Mitch makes me a heart shaped grilled cheese.

"Thanks babe." I give him a kiss on the cheek taking the plate out of his hands.

We finish eating.

"I have some plans today."

"What are they?" I ask slurping up the broth of my chicken noodle soup.

"Well I was thinking a beach day. You know all day on the beach." Mitch shifts around in his seat.

"Sounds fun. I'll go get dressed." I stood up, spun around, pushed my chair in and ran upstairs.

I put on a purple strapless bikini and red short like bottoms.

Mitch knocks on the door. "I'm coming in."

He slowly opens the door. I was putting on one of Mitch's hoodies as my cover up. It's just long enough to cover my bottoms.

"Some one looks sexy." He walked over to me, we made out.

"Get changed." I said pulling away.

"Fine."

He put on a pair of red trunks, similar to the ones he had on the other day and a white shirt.

"Ready?" He asked grabbing my hand.

"Yeah."

We walked down the stairs and out the door. It was awful warm for February. Hand in hand we walked down to the beach.

"For dinner I was think we'd stop at that diner." He said slipping his hand around my lower back and pointing to the diner.

"Ok."

"Then we could go back to the beach until like 7:30 maybe."

"Ok babe."

--Time Skip to the Beach--

We laid out our towels at sat down.

"Take a swim?" Mitch asked.

"Yeah." I said taking off his hoodie. Mitch taking off his shirt.

We slowly made our way into the water, other people started to arrive.

"Love you." Mitch said holding me close.

"Love you too." I laid my head on his chest.

We swam for about 2 hours.

"I'm hungry." I whined.

"Let's go eat then."

We made our way to our towels. I dried off and put his hoodie back on, so did Mitch. We grabbed our towels and made our way across the street over to the diner.

"Table for two." Mitch said to the waitress. His arm was around my lower back.

"Right this way." She said.

She lead us to a booth.

"My name is Mary and I will be waitress tonight."

"I would like a sweet tea please." I said.

"I would like the same."

"Ok. Would you like to order now or wait a little."

"We'd like to wait." Mitch said rubbing my back.

"Ok, I'll be back with your drinks." She walked off.

"Mmm. A burger and fries, I know what I want." Mitch said.

"Mmm. Sounds good."

The waitress came back.

"Here are your drinks." She set the drinks down. "Ready to order?"

"I would like a cheese burger and fries please." Mitch said.

"I would like a cheese burger and onion rings."

"Ok, I'll be back shortly."

It took her about half an hour before we got our food.

"Sorry for the wait." She set the plates down. "Have a nice afternoon." She walked off.

Mitch and I devoured our food with out saying a word.

"Beach?" M itch said wiping his mouth.

"Yeah."

Mitch set a $5 bill on the table and we went up front to pay. It was $35. We walked our way back to the beach.

-- Time skip to the beach--

We laid our towels down. The sun was setting and everyone had already left. Mitch sat down, I laid my head on his chest.

"Are your parents coming to the wedding?" Mitch asked.

My eyes filled with tears. I couldn't speak.

"Don't cry."

"My parents got divorced. My dad didn't want anything to do with me so he sent me with my mom," I sniffled.

"I'm so sorry."

"My mom abused me. I dealt with it until I was 16. My aunt lived in an apartment, there was an empty one next to her. She said I could live there if I payed half the rent. So I moved in. A few months later my dad's sister called me and said my dad realized he couldn't live without me so we became an alcoholic and died." Hot tears dripped down my face.

"Stop crying please." Mitch whimpered

"My mom still lives in Arizona. I don't ever want to see her again. My dad is dead, I wish I was able to say good bye. My aunt might come." Mitch wiped the tears off my face.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry." He gave me a kiss.

"It's ok. Can we go home?"

"Sure thing sweet cheeks."

We got our towels and walked back home.

--Time Skip--

We got into our room. We changed into our pajamas and laid down. I snuggled up against Mitch's chest. He put his hand on my side.

"Love you." Mitch said, giving me a kiss.

"Love you too."

He rubbed my arm. I feel into a deep sleep.
