Chapter 19

I Waite for the wave to come. It gets bigger and bigger. Once it's near me I turn to face the sand. As I peddle forward I feel something bump my board.

"Fuck please do be a shark or anything that might eat me" I thought. Before I even got time to check what it was my board flipped. I was not even sure if I got a scream out. All I knew is that I probably swallowed a whole cup of salt water. When I'm out of the water I start to cough. My throat burned and tasted horrible. I don't know why but I soon thought of the most disgusting things that happens to this water and almost fainted. From behind me I hear jack laugh. I was gonna kill him.

" fuck you jack that's not fucking funny!!!"

" sorry.... Are you ok?" I shake my head. I walk to to the surface and leave him. My throat burn soo bad and I couldn't shake the thought of fishes peeing. Ugggghhhhhh. How can jack be so stupid!!! Nadia sat with Mattie and Wes on the beach chairs. I take the last chair next to Wes. Quickly I open a soda a spit it out attempting to get the taste of rotten salt out of my mouth.

" what's wrong dimples... Decided to jug a glass of fish water" Wes teased.

" shut up " I said

" soda won't help. Drink this." He handed me half of a water bottle.

" how's water gonna help?" I ask

" who said it was water??" He smirked.

" what the hell is it then?" This was stupid seriously.

" vodka" he shuck the bottle at me. Did he really expect me to drink that.? Iv truer many things but not beer or shit like that. Well I did once at a friends party but it was by accident so I guess it don't count.

" dimples... You gonna take it or not cuz ma hands getting tiered." I fought with myself.

Should or not I repeated in my head. Was it worth drinking instead of having a fish pee smell in my mouth? I think back to the other possible things in the water I swallowed.

" fuck it!" I take the vodka bottle and put it up to my lips. The crystal white liquid tasted horrible to be honest. Which is why the taste of the water no longer lingering in my mouth. I ended up drinking the rest to the bottle but it was 100% worth it.

"Imma go to the board walk" I get up. This whole siting and doing nothing was really boring me. I pull my shorts on and grab my flip flops. I'd wish Nadi was willing to go but I knew she would stick with Maddie so I didn't ask.

" mind if I come?" Wes spoke.

" surrrrre" I say hesitantly. Wes gets up as well he was tall not to tall throw. I was up to his jaw. He bent forward to collect his shoes. From the corner of my eye I see Nadi wink at me and giggle. Oh Nadi always assuming stuff. I shake my head at her as Wes pulls his shirt on. We both start walking leavening everyone behind.

" so were you wanna go?" Wes ran his hands throw his hair. They kinda look like silky feathers. Which reminded me of Jose my best friend. I look around me and point at a store. Nodding we walking. I start looking at cloths while he looks at boards. As I ran through shorts my attention is cought by a Muslim man drawing on a girl. On a boardilla in front of nos stand it read

Hanna tattoos

" how much ?" I ask

" depends on the design" he points at a paper with designs on it. I pick up the paper with a conserving plastic over it. I look through them but none see interesting to me. I call for Wes.

" you called"

" give me your phone "

" again with the demanding" he said handing me his phone. When I had it in my hands I go to safari and search up runes. I find one very intriguing. It had the angelic power rune, strength rune and two others. I point the picture out to the guy. I watch as he examine the picture.

" 15 dollar" he said. I pull out the extra money I saved from the 60 my parents gave me and hand it to the man then sat down on the chair.

" where you want?" He said I think back to the picture and then where it would look good. I then point to the back of my right shoulder. I pull the lace of my bikini to the side so that the guy ca draw under it. Seconds later I feel a hot substance against my skin. I feel as he gives the liquid a figure. He was done in a matter of five minutes. When He completed the tattoo he instructed me to Waite 20 minutes and then the liquid would harden and would come off and leave beside the design.

" can you take a picture so I can see what it looks like?" I ask Wes. When he took it he handed me the phone. It was perfect. It looked as if I had a real tattoo. Wes and I walk out of the store together.

" what are those a demon signal or something?" He observed my tattoo.

" it's from this book and why do you always pick on me!" I say frustrated.

" I don't know I just like ticking you off"

" well it's not funny" he laughed at that. I returns the laugh.

" well I promise not to be mean to you anymore happy dimples" he smirked. He wasn't that bad I guess. I smile at him. From behind us I hear Mattie and Nadi. I don't know how but I did.

" guys ..... Goo back!" They yelled at they waved there hands inward. Wes and I run back to them. Great I thought right when I was actually haveing a good time.

Thanks a lot Nadia.
