it's only the ocean and you {kiah :: blitz}

Waves crashed to the shore, throwing all their weight, all their power at the poor sandy shore which took the impact with ease. I watch as surging blue salt water is dragged back out into the ocean, no matter how desperately it tries to cling to the sand, it is sucked away. Then the process is repeated, surging blue masses of water flinging itself as far as it can go, before being dragged away back, only to start again. It was a cycle, a cycle that has been repeated for so many years, and will still be repeated in so many more years.

Pulling my gaze away from the ocean I continue my walk across the sand shore. With each step my feet slid further and further in the sand, grains of sand slinking in between my toes, making me feel uncomfortable. But I ignore it. I was used to the feel of sand clinging in-between my toes. The sun had just began to peak over the horizon painting the sky with purple pinks and blues. I let my eyes scan the sky, getting lost in the beauty that had begun to spread out before me. I pause for a moment, pulling my arms up so that they rested behind my head, almost cradling it.

After a moment I tear my gaze away from the sky, my eyes falling onto the shore before me. When I look back at the path I was walking down I see a figure in the distance. Curiosity began to eat at me and eventually I began to move towards the figure, my pace faster than it had been before.

I had no idea what I had expected to see. But I knew for sure that I hadn’t expected to run into a sleeping girl. She was spread out across the sand. She lay on her side, her knees slightly bent as she slept on. Well this was not something you saw everyday. She was pretty, beautiful actually, sleep making her seem so vulnerable. A small thought tugged at the edges of my mind, and I drop to my knees. Chuckling to myself, I lay beside her, facing her, imitating the way that she lay.

"Oh, did I... fall asleep here?" She blinks her eyes, her voice slipping from behind her lips. I smile as I look at her. Dis she find it weird to be waking up next to someone who lay beside her? Someone she didn’t even know?

“Yeah you did, after what happened last night… well you got pretty tied and decided we should come down to the beach. I had a great night. I don’t know about you… but I thought it was amazing.” I wink, lowering my voice as though I was telling her a secret. I had no idea why this girl was down here. I had no idea who she was, but that didn’t mean I couldn't have any fun.

The girl’s open wide when she hears my little speech. Disbelief mingled with something else shone in her eyes, and I couldn’t help but smile at her confusion. I turned one side of my lips up, in a half smile as the girl sat up in a hurry, her face showing clearly how she felt. I pull myself up slightly so that my shoulder was taking most of my weight, clasping my hands together lazily.

"Oh God," she groans dropping her hands which had begun to pull her hair back. Her hair fell over her face, hiding the emotions that played on her face. But I didn’t mind. I was quite enjoying myself as it was. A small chuckle escapes my lips as I watch her. I watched as she tried to remember what happened last night, what had happened between us. I try to hold back the grin that threatens to spread on my lips, little did she seem to know that absolutely nothing had happened between us. I knew nothing about this girl. I had no idea what she had been doing last night, but it must have been something bizarre if she had found herself asleep on the sandy shores of the beech.

"Really?" she asks pulling her hair away from her face once more. I look at her as the next words tumble from behind her lips, "Oh God no.” She says, I feel slightly offended as the words fall from her mouth, my forehead creasing into a frown. was I really that bad? “I mean, not that I wouldn't, I-" she adds quickly and I feel the frown on my forehead disappear to be replaced with a small smile. So she did find me attractive.

"You're joking, right? Because I can't remember any of this at all. Just... well, shit. Are you kidding around or no? That wink looks deceiving to me." She asks finally, not meeting my eyes. After a moment I pull myself into a sitting position, slinging my long arms across my legs. I turn to look at her, my face mocking seriousness.

“Why would I lie about something like this? Last night… well last night was a night not to forget… well for some of us anyways.” I say my voice even. That’s when I turn to face the girl, cupping her face with my hands, forcing her to look at me. “Do you really not remember? Seriously? Can you not remember last night?”
