Girl On Top

Chapter 10- Collision

- new chapters soon -

The sun emitted wave upon wave of heat from the center of a pale blue sky. Golden sand extended at a gentle slope unlike anything that I ever imagined on the coast of Britain - soft dunes tumbling to kiss the briny water.

Each wave was lacy with foam and all the more gentle for the subtle green hues. Enzo ran through the thick, browning grass, mouth a grin to rival any storybook, his hair matching the sand. Above a lone cloud drifted by in search of another, the brilliant white like a sail.

The beach stretched out into the distance like a horseshoe bending around the coastline, dotted with families enjoying the rare gift of warmth. Giggling, Phoenix and Sebastian ran after me into the refreshingly cool waves, splashing cool water at my unsuspecting back.

For the first time in a long time I felt like a kid again and I'm pretty sure the guys felt the same way. Sebastian grabbed Phoenix's head and pushed him down underneath the water, laughing his pants off as Phoenix spluttered and gasped for air.

Enzo charged into the sea causing the waves to crash against his long legs. We all began to laugh as he splashed us with the salty water. He came from behind and gripped my hips close to his, my body stiffened as I realised we were only centimetres apart.

I could feel his breath on my naked shoulders as he exhaled with laughter. "Your body looks banging in that bikini," he whispered quietly into my ear to make sure the other guys couldn't hear.

Enzo flipped me around until my hands were pressed up against his bare chest, I gaped openly at his chiselled body.

"My body also looks banging when I do this!" I yelled and shoved him hard into the water causing him to topple backwards head first into the sea.

Phoenix and Sebastian exploded in a fit of laughter as they pointed at Enzo who looked like an unhappy wet cat.

It was a laughter that we could feel in our lungs, so hard that it took our breath away. The lack of oxygen didn't matter because we were having too much fun.

After drying off we set up our little camp on the sand. I pressed my towel up against the sand and plonked myself onto it, turning on my stomach to catch a tan on my back.

I reached to my bag and pulled out a bottle of sunscreen but before I could start to lather it on myself Enzo took it out of my hands.

"Allow me princess." He grinned and squirted the white lotion onto his palms before rubbing them together.

I sighed, nodding at him giving him the go ahead before his cool hands rubbed against my back. His thumb pushed into my lower back as he glazed the lotion onto my skin making it crawl.

The smell of tropical fruits and coconuts hit me as he continued to rub me up and down. I bit my lip and felt my eyes sink to the back of my head as I hated to admit that I was actually enjoying this. It almost felt like a massage.

"Don't fall asleep on me princess." He leaned closer to my face, his lips almost pressed up against my skin, my body tingles.

Reluctantly, I opened my eyes. "I'm not idiot," I respond as I push myself off the towel to face him, Enzo backs away surprised I could withstand his attempts to seduce me.

Enzo studied my face closely for a few seconds before clicking his fingers. "I got it!" A grin appeared over his lips, "you need an ice cream, you boys down for some ice cream?" He swivelled his head around to look at Phoenix and Sebastian, they threw thumbs up at him as they continued to tan their already sun kissed bodies.

And then he gives me a smile that just seems so genuinely sweet with just the right touch of shyness that unexpected warmth rushes through me. Enzo had never looked at me like that before? Was he okay? Did I need to call an ambulance?

"Let's gooooo princess! Move that cute ass of yours!" Enzo grabbed my hands and tugged me all the way to the ice cream van, I rolled my eyes. Dork.

As the ice cream van drifted past us; you could already glimpse the sight of children tugging their parent's limbs towards the van. The children with money raced after the belching fumes to be first in line. As the white van came to a halt, a hairy hand flung the window open and played the merry tune. Swarms of children surrounded the van, waving their money in the air. Smaller kids squeezed through to front of the queue, whilst the bigger kids frantically shoved their way in.

As the queue edged forward slowly I examined Enzo. His cheeks are chiseled like a finely-carved Michelangelo statue. His nose is perfectly symmetrical. His lips are slightly full: the kind that end in a cute little smirk at the corners. The rays of sun highlight the dimples in his cheeks and chin.

"What are you thinking princess?" His question snatched me back to reality. I focused my eyes on the van as I realised I had been staring at him.

I could feel my cheeks getting hotter and hotter, and I wondered if anyone else had noticed. "Huh?" I asked.

He rolled his eyes. "The ice cream, what flavour you thinking?" Enzo pointed at the van as we were about to be served next.

"Oh right... strawberry please." I asked politely with an excited smile on my face at the thought of delicious ice cream goodness.

"One strawberry coming up babe." Enzo smirked and stepped forward towards the van to place his order leaving me a few steps behind him. Babe? Princess was one thing but babe, he had never called me that before.

Enzo thanked the man before grabbing onto four ice creams, handing two of them to me. His lip started to pull up in that wicked, devilish smirk, that always made a chill run down the back of my spine as he noticed me struggling to hold them.

I quickly licked the ice-cream to right it, it had begun to slump precariously to one side and there was nothing worse than loosing an entire scoop to the dirty sidewalk.

But as I averted my attention to the strawberry ice cream the vanilla one began to run down the cone and splatter straight onto the front of Enzo's trunks.

At once, we both stare down in horror at the unmistakable white stain that looked very inappropriate, he smirked.

"Oh my gosh Enzo I'm so sorry." I was mortified, frozen to the spot. I felt traumatized. I couldn't believe it had happened, and in front of everybody too.

Enzo stiffened uncomfortably as I continued to stare wide eyed at the vanilla ice cream stain. I'm such a clutz. To my surprise, my eyes widened even more (not that I was even sure that was humanly possible) as I noticed his erection bulge out.

"Who needs fucking ice cream anyway?" Enzo chucked the two cones onto the ground before moving his head closer to mine. I stand frozen, from both the fear and the rush. He leans in, so our foreheads rested against each others. We closed our eyes. Both of our breaths were trembling.

And then he kissed me. When he kissed me my brain lit on fire and the warmth spread throughout my entire body. After that I was addicted, I grabbed onto his face and kissed him back harder.
