Chapter 14

Jessica

I don’t know why I cared, but I did. I spent the better part of the morning digging through my dresser in search of my blue and white bikini. It was always Ryan’s favorite, and I kinda wanted to drive him crazy today. I haven’t really grown much since I was fifteen, only gained a few more curves. I still have all my suits, and my mood determines which one I wear. This one, hasn’t gotten worn since we broke up. I’ve kept it though because it holds so many memories. I even have a board that matches it. Ryan bought it for me. The last few months we were together it was all I surfed on. My purple board took its place after we broke up, and it’s gone to all my competitions with me.

The sky was cloudy today; not usual for California summers, but not unheard of either. When I got down to the beach, he was right where he said he’d be. He was in a wetsuit today, but had the same board with him. He sliced it through the water before hopping off, picking it up, and jogging toward me.

“Hey.” He waved as he used his free hand to push his wet hair off his forehead.

“Hi.” I sighed as I shifted on my feet. I don’t know why I was nervous to be around him. He still brought the butterflies out in my stomach, but that usually angered me. Today I was having a hard time holding onto the anger though.

“You’re gonna be cold.” He eyed me up and down. “Water’s chilly.”

“It’s always chilly. I’m used to it.” I shrugged as I dropped my board and began pulling my hair up. I’d put on shorts over my suit this morning, so Ryan couldn’t see what I was wearing yet. Again, I don’t know why I cared. “Ready?” I snapped.

He chuckled as he wiped at his dripping hair again, “You get up on the wrong side of the bed or something?”

“Or something,” I grumbled. The truth was, having him here in my space did things to me. Things that I wasn’t sure I liked yet. Having him here put my emotions in this weird place. I wanted to hate him. I wanted to not react when I saw his muscles flex or when he gave me that lopsided grin, or even when he called me out on my shit. I wanted to feel the anger because the hurt was just too much. Right now, though, I felt like I did ten years ago when I started seeing him as more than a friend. I feel like I did when I wanted him to see that I wasn’t this tomboy, I was a girl, a girl that had feelings. Only this time, this time those feelings were all jumbled up and I have no idea how to fix them.

ooooooooo

Ryan

I saw her coming over the dunes from all the way out in the water. She had a different board with her this time.
