Mel's POV: (Flashback)
I look up from my book as Jim walks outta the ocean, the water rolling down his chest. He grins and wipes some of the wet sand from his face. I giggle to myself. He'd just faceplacted in the water after stepping in a small hole on the water's edge as the water washed away, going out with the tide. I set my book down as he gets closer.
"You ok, babe?" I ask.
He chuckles. "Yea...that sand was slipperier than I was expecting."
I laugh. "It's sand...that goes with the water...what else did you expect?"
He laughs. "Hush. You're lucky you're my girlfriend."
I giggle and blush, nodding. "You're right. I am lucky. I still can't believe it. I came to Hawaii, single and ready to mingle. Now, I'm the luckiest girl ever. All 'cause you asked me out with a turtle and an ice cream cone."
He grins. "I'm the lucky one, sweetheart."
He leans over and kisses my cheek, making me blush even more than I already was, which just has him chuckling and wrapping his arms around me. I snuggle up to him, forgetting about my book as I look out at the sunsetting on the ocean and think back to how Jim finally asked me to be his girlfriend three days ago.
It was our second afternoon in Hawaii. We'd just gotten back to shore after a scuba diving trip in one of the coves. While we were walking to the fancy hotel we'd been put up in for this trip, my tummy growled, and Jim made the decision to take us on a detour to get food. I wasn't about to complain. Food is good.
We stopped at a little seafood shack, one we'd found the day before and fell in love with. Since we'd already hung out so much prior to this trip, Jim already knew what I loved to eat and what I couldn't stand. He ordered our food while I looked around in my bag for my sunglasses. When he came back to me a few minutes later, food in hand, I had my sunglasses on my face.
We ate as we walked along the beach. By the time we'd finished eating, Jim spotted this boat about to head out. He noticed it because there was a giant "Free Ice Cream" banner hanging on the side of it. We hurried over to it; both Jim and I love ice cream, and it being free made it ten times better. It was after we got onboard that we saw it was the kind with the glass bottom in the middle of it so tourists could see into the water.
Jim got us some ice cream cones and I sat down on one of the benches, looking through the glass and see some of the marine life move about below the boat. Within a few minutes, the local captain had the boat leaving the dock, and we were heading out for a tour of the island from the water. I watched the fish swim below, and squealed excitedly when I saw a giant sea turtle swim by.
Jim looked and he chuckled, knowing how happy turtles made me. I was so enthralled with the turtle that I nearly forgot about my ice cream cone till he gently reminded me it was there by wiping some of the melted cream off my hand. I giggled and thanked him and went back to watching the turtle swimming, absentmindedly finishing my ice cream too.
