13/31 (Kinda On Hold)

XI: Broken Memories

I pick up my black bikini from the drawer, then tie the strings for the top securing it across my chest, and then pull on the bottoms. I throw on a sheer kimono over it, to cover up some before we arrive. I grab my small backpack with sunscreen, sunglasses, a towel, and a few other items in it, before petting Nosferatu one last time and shutting the bedroom door behind me.

I smack straight into Chris's chest as turn around to walk down the hallways.

"Your face okay?" He asks as he attempts to stifle a laugh.

"Yes, I'm sorry for running into you, I wasn't quite expecting you to be standing there", I laugh.

"It's fine, I literally had just got here. I was going to ask if you were ready or close to ready."

"Yes, I am. Let's go!"

"Beautiful isn't it?" He asks as we step onto the sand.

"Yes, it's better than I could have imagined", I respond, kicking off my sandals and beginning to run through the sand towards to the water.

I hear him running behind me, his arms wrap around me, stopping me right before I get into the water. "Excuse me ma'am, there's a requirement before you get in the water."

"And just what might that be, Sir?"

"This," he removes one hand from around me and pulls on the strings to my top. "Has to come off. Sorry, but rules are rules."

My top falls off my chest, as I hold my hands against my chest, trying to stop my breasts from being exposed, "why?" I giggle.

"Because, like I said, rules are rules. Don't look at me, I didn't make them up. They're just the rules." He moves my arm from my chest.

"Well, there's also the rule that states that those trunks of yours must be removed", I say, running my hands down his waist and tugging on the waistband of his swim trunks.

"Oh, is there now? I've never heard that one." I say, a smirk playing on my lips as she tugs at my waistband.

"Yes, you may not have heard about it, but it exists. Besides, rules are rules."

"Well, I guess since it's a rule I have to abide by it." I take her hands and start to slowly pull the trunks off, then quickly pick her up and run into the water, letting my knees go out from under me and pull her body closer to mine as we fall into the cold water.

"You're not playing fair", she says with a laugh, then hits my arm.

"I never play fair, you never win when you play like everyone else." I smile at her.

"Then I suppose you've never lost?"

"Never." I say as I wink and pull her in for a kiss.

"That's what I would expect of you, ever so competitive and never taking no for an answer."

"That's what happens when you're raised with so many brothers." I say as I pick her up and wade farther into the water.

Once we've gotten to where the water rests at my hips, I look down at her and smile. "You're beautiful. You know that right?"

She blushes, looking down, "thank you, Chris, you continue to flatter me."

"And you know I care about you, right?" I ask.

"Of course, I care very deeply about you as well. You never fail to make me feel desired and cared about, i-it's...strange, but I appreciate it more than words can describe."
