Chapter Eighteen

Sven leaves the girl sleeping in the back of the van. Much like she always does in the moments after they’ve been together, she had nuzzled herself against him. They’re bodies warm and naked, a slight film of sweat covered them as they melded into one. Twisted up that way, Sven had remained in place as her breathing slowed and her fingers stopped tracing the muscle striations in his chest. As her eyes drifted shut, her honey-colored hair splashed across his torso.

Easing himself from beneath her weight, he’d left her face down on the mattress. Sun drifting in through the sunroof, it hit her at an angle, accentuating the bikini tan lines tracing across her back.

If given his preference, Sven is one for blondes. Partial to the features found in his homeland, he’d prefer someone with pale skin and crystalline eyes. Sharp cheekbones and a strong nose.

This one is different from that in every way. Young and soft, everything about her is round, from her face to her breasts. Picked up on the Big Island of Hawaii a few months earlier, he knows already it isn’t destined to go anywhere, but that’s alright for the time being.

Like so many things that he’s encountered since arriving in America, she is disposable. The female equivalent of food or drink or automobiles or any of a million other things the people around him seem to take for granted every day.

Something to be enjoyed for as long as she can be before being cast aside in search of the next.

With the carnal scent of lust still clinging to his skin, Sven steps out of the side opening of the van. Pinching his eyes against the sun just beginning its descent to the west, he raises his face toward it. He lets its warmth hit him full, washing over his bare torso. The breeze pushes up over his forehead, shoving his hair away from his face.

A smile comes to his features, the elements providing the perfect transition from the bit of bliss inside the van to the greater pleasure awaiting him in the hours ahead.

Opening his eyes, Sven turns to the side. Popping open the driver’s side door, he reaches into the open well along the bottom of it. He wraps his hand around the bare metal handle of the hatchet tucked down inside and pulls it free, closing the door just enough for the latch to catch.

Palming the blade of the hatchet, he folds the handle up along the inside of his forearm. Held close to his body, it is completely hidden from view as he holds his opposite hand to his brow, peering in both directions.

To the south awaits Encinitas. Beyond that Cardiff, Solana, and Del Mar. One small beach enclave after another stretched all the way to Coronado and, ultimately, the border. Miles and miles of locals and tourists all crowded into small strips of sand, blankets and umbrellas posted so close together they are almost touching. Weekend beachgoers, all looking for a few minutes to validate living in Southern California.
