We met,
I felt like I was getting away with murder,
His name was Landon,
college guy, 18 going on 19
took this job for the summer,
and here I was, it was my 16th birthday,
and I was certainly ready for a party.
My friends waved goodbye, with a few winks as they drove off, leaving me here,
on the beach,
with oh-so-sexy Landon, the lifeguard.
I knew, this birthday had to be a good one.
He went into the bar on the beach and came back with a drink for me and him,
--guessing he had a fake, of course.
Most people did around here, especially in the summer time.
He smirked at me as I drank it quickly,
"So, you ready for a real party?"
