Summer

The paleness of my skin nearly blinds me as I catch sight of it in the mirror. It’s still mid-May and although the afternoons are warm, I’m not sure a bikini is a good idea.

Still, I like the way this one looks. The fabric is green and white stripes, the sides and neck tied with string. A year ago, I would have died to show this much skin, but I’ve become more comfortable in my body and the idea of sun and sand. Living here all summer means I’ll probably need a few more suits.

I’m zipping a long, gray hoodie over my suit when I hear a rap against the metal door. I peek out the little window and see a handsome, eager face.

“What are you doing here?” I ask, lunging into Nick’s broad chest.

“I couldn’t wait,” he says into my hair. He wraps his muscular, football-playing arms around me and holds me tight. “God, I missed you.”

“I’ve missed you, too.” So much. Nick’s first year was completely consumed by the military academy. First football, then training and academics. When he releases me from his grasp, I take him in. Short, cropped dark hair. He seems taller, maybe leaner since I saw him last, but no less big. He’s physically impressive. Piercing eyes. He’s wearing a tight, gray, Citadel T-shirt and black board shorts.

“You get down here okay?” he asks, hands skimming my hair.

“Yep. No problem at all.”

“And you’re all settled in?”

I smile; his questions are sweet. Silly. “Yes, are you worried I can’t unpack by myself?”

He grins sheepishly. “I’m just glad you’re here for a while.”

Nick was the first of the Ocean Beach Boys I’d had sex with. He was the one that made me realize that these were my people and that I was worth more than the shitty second-class life my ex, Mason, wanted to give me. Seeing Nick now made me long to touch his skin, to feel that same intensity as we had that day in my bed.

I see the same burn in his eyes, but he says, “I guess we should head over to the beach. Everyone’s waiting.”

I lock the camper and follow him to his battered truck, inhaling the musky scent of Nick in the small cab. He rests his hands on the gear shift and I look at him and say, “Just so you know, I’m glad I’m here for a while, too.”
