The Story of Dean and Ziggy

Chapter 9:

Ziggy and Dean were ambling out of the water.

"You totally cut in on me. I got there first," Dean protested.

"Sorry, babe. Couldn't resist," Ziggy grinned cheekily.

"Just because you're my girlfriend that doesn't mean you can steal my waves," Dean continued.

"Dean, be a gentleman, but I like the sound of that," Ziggy said.

Dean stared at her, wondering what she was on about.

"Girlfriend," she repeated.

Dean smiled at her.

"Yeah, you're my girlfriend," he told her sweetly.

Ziggy smiled back and kissed him.

"Well I'd better get to work. I wouldn't want your dad to think just because I'm with his daughter I'm going to slack off," Dean teased.

He wrapped the towel around Ziggy gently and pulled her in for another kiss.

"I'll see you later," he replied.

Ziggy looked at Dean as he left.

She bit down on her lip and sat down on the sand.

Ziggy couldn't help it.

She was so happy.

She had an amazing supportive family, who were always there for her.

Ziggy really enjoyed being an apprentice at the garage with Justin.

To top it all off, after a really few chaotic months Ziggy felt that she was in a really good place.

She had a partner that she had really strong feelings for and she felt that she could trust him.

"So, you and Dean, huh?" Brody came up behind her.

"Why are you talking to me?" Ziggy demanded, as her daydream came to an abrupt end.

"Ziggy, I'm not trying to upset you," Brody insisted.

"You're doing a pretty good job. What do you want?" Ziggy was blunt.

"I just want to talk," Brody told her.

"Yeah, about what? Brody, I think we said all we needed to say to each other when I found you sleeping with another woman," Ziggy began packing her things into her bag.

"I'm not with Simone anymore," Brody blurted out.

Ziggy paused for a moment.

"I hope she cheated on you," she declared ruthlessly.

"No, she didn't," Brody replied.

"Well I'm going to work," she stood up.

"Don't you want to know why?" Brody wondered.

"No, not my business anymore," Ziggy flung her bag over her shoulder.

"Well if isn't my favourite employee," Ben commented as he walked into the "Surf Club".

Dean turned around to see if he was being punked.

"I'm your only employee, Ben," he pointed out.

"Doesn't means that you're not my favourite," Ben chipped in.

Dean turned his head to the side.

"Mate, are you drunk?"

"What? No, it just feels different now that you're dating my daughter," Ben explained himself.
