Tides

Chapter 27 - My Eyes

BLUE

Jax and Dylan return to the beach, and I feel relief knowing he is okay. They come with their boards and join us. Dax and Skye sit on the sand while I stand next to them.

"Third round of Kay," Skye says without taking his eyes away from the water.

A big wave forms and Kay paddles. He then stands on the board and makes a quick spin. He moves to the front of the board and crouches while stretching an arm forward and the other back. Skye laughs hard. Dylan looks with curious eyes at what Kay does.

"Of all he can try, and he picks a Quasimoto. My kid is unique," Jax chuckles.

Kay then sits on the board with his hands in a praying position. He has enough time to lay on it with his arms crossed over his chest as the wave brings him to the shore; a coffin maneuver. His tricks look simple, but they require a lot of balance and skill. We all cheer for him. These skills will impress the jury enough.

I'm training with Kalani as it's pointless to do it with my teammates. Max and Ryan have been out every night since we moved here and sleep during the day. As I left the house early this morning, Max was passed out on the couch and Ryan on the front steps. Sometimes I have the idea Ryan does other stuff besides drinking. I don't have any real proof, but most of the time he seems to bounce off of the walls.

I enjoy training with Jax much more than with the Oceancrush trainers. He has an incredible understanding of the sport and the techniques. I was surprised when I made a maneuver, and Jax corrected my posture. I went again in the water and tried it following his advice, and it was more comfortable to do so. The guys are truly what team effort should be. Whenever you do something right, everybody is happy for you and give you plenty of compliments.

Yesterday, I took Jax apart after the training and told him about my medical condition.

"Kiddo, it's nothing to be ashamed. Why don't you keep supplies and insulin in the fridge at the restaurant? That way you don't need to walk all over to the villa to medicate yourself after the training."

I felt grateful. Whenever I'm with this team, I feel comfortable and at home. Almost as if I was with my family.

"Excellent job, Kay!" Jax places a hand on my shoulder and the other on his son's. "If you guys feel satisfied with the training, go hit the showers and eat. I will spend time with Dylan."

We grab our boards and walk up to the showers by the store. I see Luna as we get closer, and a smile forms on my lips.

"I don't mean to meddle in your business," Skye says next to me. "I have the idea my sister has fallen for you, and we know well you will leave after the competition. If you break her heart, I will break your face."

"Don't you think the idea breaks my heart? I'm not sure what to do," I say, my eyes still on her.

Skye pats my shoulder and keeps walking towards the showers.

"Hey," I say to Luna, who brings displays outside the store.

"Hi," she kisses my lips. "Ew, salty! How was the training?" she wipes her mouth with her hand, making me laugh.

"It was good. We had to do it ourselves as Jax brought Dylan to get stitches."

"I got the message from Dax. Just saw him as they came back. I've told Skye several times about adding a security camera to the back, but we've never come around to do it," she looks towards the beach with a concerned frown.

"How is your dad doing?"

"He is bored, annoyed, and feels like he is missing all the action. Mom told him that if he rests this week, he can join again. Do you like training with Jax?"

"He is unbelievable! Better than the Oceancrush trainers. Tell nobody I said that," I blurt after her eyes widen at my confession.

"I won't," she laughs. "Shouldn't your trainers be here already, anyway?"

"Yeah, that was the original plan, but together with the management, our coaches have been scouting for a substitute for us. I'm glad because Ryan acts so randomly at the moment I'm not sure he will make it to the competition."

"Your board is ready," she says casually.

"Are you serious?" the joy I feel at the news is immense.

"Go take a shower and meet me at the workshop."

Luna continues her chores while I go to get myself clean. When I'm finally sand and seawater-free, I walk towards her workshop in the back. I see the bunch of glass that was behind Dylan's car in a pile next to the sidewalk. Skye couldn't find a dustpan and left it there for the moment. Something catches my eye. The glass is blue. I didn't see it before as it was still dark. Usually, liquor comes in clear bottles.

"That is how I like you best, salt-free," Luna says after kissing me, making me chuckle.

I come into the workshop, and my board hangs on a rack. It looks just like on the day when my dad brought me to the store to buy it. The happy memories return. I was only 16 years old back then, and I had been training for a year. Dad kept the promise he made; if I stuck with my training longer than a year, he would buy me a board. I touch the surface, and it feels textured but looks smooth.

"I gave it a little Kalani touch. The varnish is smooth enough to make a spin and rough enough to give you traction in a carve," she admires her work.

I grab her in a hard hug, then cup her face to kiss her lips. I nibble on her lower lip, feeling its soft texture, then trail along her jaw and her neck.

Luna smells like flowers and citrus. I could get lost in her scent. My hands move down her chest and to the buttons of her blouse. I look at her for permission. She hesitates but then walks to the door, closes and locks it.

She walks back to where I stand and places her arms around my waist. I can't figure out if she wants to go ahead. She looks at me with sadness but gives me a nod. I put my hand at her nape while I kiss her, and with the other, finish the task I started earlier. She lets her blouse fall to the floor, and my hands move to caress her small breasts over her bra.

Luna is a small girl, but her body is hot in all the right places. She grabs the hem of my t-shirt and lifts it over my head. Her hands move over my chest and my stomach. I move down the straps of her bra and kiss her shoulders while my hands caress her toned arms. I free her breasts from the bra by opening the clasp at the back and cup them. She closes her eyes to enjoy the feeling.

Her hands move to my shorts and pull them down. I suddenly feel embarrassed about the tube taped to my leg. Luna caresses the area softly to avoid hurting me and lifts my head under my chin to look at her. She kisses the tip of my nose in the sweetest way and then my lips.

I don't know where things are going with this girl, but I'm already too deep in it. I move her shorts down together with her underwear. I lift her onto her workbench and press her body with mine softly while I kiss her to make her lay down on the table. I pull her hips to the edge and place her legs around my waist, then position myself at her entrance. We both let out a moan as I rock myself softly inside this beautiful girl. This is what real love making should feel like.

Luna has flushed cheeks, and her body shakes slightly as she climaxes. I feel myself reaching my point, so I pull out as a precaution. I place my hands on either side of her hips to catch my breath. Luna sits at the edge of the table and puts her arms around my shoulders while kissing my forehead. We've just made love. Not under the most romantic circumstances, but we did.

"MY EYES! MY FUCKING EYES! I come for a dustpan, and this is what I find! I will break your fucking face Blue! You can't just bang my sister when you are leaving!"

Our heads snap towards the door where Skye shields his face away from us and has a set of keys in his hand.
