I Don't Even Know Your Name

Euphoria

*Ruth's POV*

I woke up the next morning in an empty bed. I turned over to see the digital clock which read 10:00 A.M. I could hear the sink running, and the sound of Shawn brushing his teeth in the bathroom. I turned back over to see the door of the bathroom opening, and Shawn's tall figure walking through it.

"Good morning sleepy head." He said, coming over to kiss me on the forehead.

"Good morning pretty boy." I replied.

"Here, put this on." He said, while dropping my coral bikini, shorts and a tank on the bed.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"To the beach, but first were gonna get some food."

"Oh yay! I love the beach!"

"Haha, I'm glad to hear that! We'll have to be back around two O'clock though. I need to be back to rehearse before the show tonight." He replied.

"Okay, that's cool." I replied.

We each took turns to change in the bathroom, then I grabbed my speedo bag to put sunscreen and my sunglasses in it.

"Don't like professional swimmers only use bags like that?" Shawn joked.

"Oh haha, I have this because I was on swim team for a number of years before I graduated high school."

"Really? For how long?" He asked.

"Twelve summers, and a couple fall seasons in high school. I started when I was six, and my last year was the summer after my senior year, but trust me I'm far from a professional" I laughed.

"Wow, you are full of surprises." Shawn said with a smile.

"Haha, my parents made sure to make us kids very busy growing up. I'm glad they did though, I think it made us pretty well-rounded." 

"Yeah I think it's good for parents to get their kids involved in a lot of different kinds of activities." He replied.

"Yeah, Me too."

We stopped at Chipotle on the way. Shawn got a burrito and I got a burrito bowl. We ate and chatted for about half an hour, then we walked to Marina Beach, which was only a few blocks away.

When we arrived, I took off my shorts and shirt and laid our towels down in the sand. I started to lather myself with sunscreen, when I took notice of a shirtless Shawn, putting his flip flops in his bag. His gorgeous dark locks glistened in the sun, his brownish-green eyes sparkled, and his muscles looked so defined in the reflection of the sun. He was such a beautiful man, I don't know how I got so lucky.

"What yah lookin' at hun?" Shawn asked, knowing exactly what I was doing.

"You're just so pretty." I said, coming over to poke his nose playfully.

"And so are you." He said, pulling me in for a kiss. His hands were pressed gently on my cheeks, then they slowly moved down to my waist. I could feel the electricity move throughout my body as he picked me up and I wrapped my legs around him.

"I can't get enough of you." I said, releasing from his lips.

"That makes two of us." He replied, putting me down and giving me one last kiss on the cheek.

"Let's go do what we actually came here to do." I whispered in his ear, and ran off.

Shawn caught up with me at the shore. We stuck our feet in the sand, as we let them feel the brush of the waves. We stood there for a few moments, feeling the breeze from the ocean, taking in the sweet scent it gave off. I walked deeper into the water, immersing my entire body. I could feel the motion of the waves, and taste of salt on my lips. I hadn't been in the ocean in years, I forgot what it even felt like. I popped back out of the water, as if I were The Little Mermaid. I saw that Shawn was still standing at the shore, watching me, so I swam back over to him.
