Violets P.O.V
This town is known for its lakes, oceans, waterfalls, and creeks. I being the fish that I am love the water. The sight of a waterfall is breathtaking and sometimes I wish I can hear it. This guy named Frank whom I met just two days ago is awfully nice. We've been communicating via text or through Marley and Andrea.
We're going canoeing today in some creek he found, he doesn't trust the lake due to the fact that I almost died. Well not almost but I really hate jet skis now. Marley was at her summer job and Andrea was doing well what Andrea does, mingle. I was sitting at the kitchen window sill reading my book. My phone vibrates and it's Frank saying for me to open the front door.
I get up and save my page. I go to the front door and see Frank, his hands are holding two whiteboards and two markers. He hands me one and lets himself in and sits on the couch. I sit next to him.
He starts to write something down on the whiteboard.
I was wondering if you could teach me sign language because I suck ass at learning by myself
I laugh at that one since he tried speaking to me yesterday in sign language. He accidentally cursed at me and I took it the wrong way.
I write on my whiteboard.
Of course you suck ass, but I'll teach you, if you take me canoeing today like you promised.
I see that he erases his board and starts writing again.
Lets shake on it!
I nod and smile to myself and we shake each others hands to close the deal. I write something else down.
Canoeing first because I'm not using useful hours if my life for that
I try to not giggle when he pouts at my answer and shrugs and grabs my hand. I stand up and we head out back to his cabin and the canoe is strapped on the back of his jeep. He takes his keys out and the doors are unlocked from his gesture. I slide into the passenger seat. We drive in silence of course, but I'm able to teach him the basics of sign language.
We pull up to the creek and I help him unload the canoe. I see him staring at me winking. I wink back. We push the canoe into the water and we get in.
He takes out his whiteboard and writes.
Kept my promise now Violet lets talk about your love for water my little nemo
I shake my head at that and quiz him on his ability to sign.
"I love the water so it's no biggy," I sign and he scrunches his nose.
"Ok." he signs.
I write on the board.
I signed, I love the water so it's no biggy try signing that
I sign it again and he mimics me perfectly. I nod in approval. I skim the water with my fingers, I keep my other hand on the side of the canoe so I don't fall off. The water is so clear that I can see the fish swimming around. Summer is being awfully nice this time. Frank smiles at me.
"Try signing," I sign and he seems to understand when he signs back.
"I'm trying," he signs. I pick up my whiteboard since I don't feel like signing any much longer, I love signing but my hands hurt like a bitch sometimes.
Should I have brought my swimsuit?
I look at his facial features and he smirks and nods. I groan since I didn't pack one and this beautiful lake will go to waste. I am mentally punching myself when I see Frank has his trunks on.
