PHOEBE

Even though I tell Blue I have to get back to my friends, I’m not ready to be bombarded by all their questions yet. On that note, I decide to explore the upper end of the beach from where Blue lives to see what else this place has to offer.

As I stroll along the wet sand with the water lapping over my feet every so often, I notice the farther I walk, the less it looks like a tourist destination. It’s built more for the locals with less hotels and more houses on stilts.

Watching the few residents tend to their flowers in clay pots, or repair the wooden fence surrounding their property, my thoughts fall back to Blue and what it’s like to live here.

When Blue comes to mind, I immediately think about our night together.

My rush to leave him isn’t because I regret what happened last night, it’s because I enjoyed it so much, I could easily see myself lounging in his bed all day long.

Where has this dude been all my life? Seriously, he can make me feel things like no other guy ever has.

He’s too perfect; probably too good to be true.

But he’s so damn nice and caring. That has to count for something. What other guy would treat me with the utmost respect when thrown into a situation like he was?

Sure, he has a temper when provoked. He lives like a bum; a clean one I might add. He doesn’t own a car. And his job isn’t one to brag about, but I guess it’s enough to get by. Sometimes you can’t have it all. Heaven knows I sure as hell don’t.

As if he has psychic abilities, my phone vibrates in my hand. It’s him. His message makes me laugh out loud. I’m just past his place and I talk myself out of turning around and going back for one more romp in the sheets. Kristy would call me a slut if she heard me say that.

In a playful mood, I text him back, pretending I don’t know who he is. I can’t wait to see what his reply will be.

I’m not far from my hotel. The sun is already blazing across the sand, making it feel like I’m walking over a bed of hot coals. The humid air is thick and I’m having trouble, more than usual, breathing. I use my inhaler, but it’s not doing the trick this time. By the time I reach the door, I’m bent over, wheezing. Drops of sweat trickle down along my hairline, puddling right below my ears.

A few people stop and ask me if I’m okay. I nod my head and wave them on. It’s just another day in my complicated life. There’s nothing to be alarmed about.

If I can make it inside where the air is cool and light, everything will be better. When I lie to myself, I always think I’ll somehow convince myself to believe it.

I’m not sure how I make it up to my room, but I do.
