A/N : It's my 25th birthday today so I decided to write a happy chapter for once hahaha. Usually I like to write hurt/comfort or angst, but I decided to throw in something happy today.
Chapter 48
The next day...
Riker POV
Today was surfing day, which I am absolutely sure I'm not doing. Everyone rented surfboards and wetsuits for the day. I was sitting on the beach with Stormie while everyone else went surfing.
"Riker?" Stormie asked.
"What?"
"You don't know how to swim?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"I don't know. I just never learned."
"Eventually I want you to learn how to swim, ok? Not now. Not soon. Just at some point, ok?"
I stayed silent. It's not ok.
Rocky came back to the shore and was holding his surfboard.
"Riker, come here!" He called.
I got up and walked over.
"What's wrong? You look upset," Rocky said.
"Stormie wants me to learn how to swim."
"I told you she'd want you to."
"Yeah... Why did you call me over?"
"You've been out here a while. I just wanted to make sure you weren't getting too hot. And if you wanted to cool off in the ocean, I could go with you."
I didn't say anything. I'm not sure about this. But I am hot.
Rocky put his board down on the sand.
"Come on," he said, holding his hand out to me.
I took his hand. We slowly walked into the ocean. And it actually felt really good to cool off.
We kept going until the water was up to my waist.
"A big wave is coming. Don't panic, ok?" Rocky asked.
He wrapped his arms around me from behind and the wave hit us. It made me almost fall forward, but Rocky kept me on my feet.
"Riker?"
"What?"
"Do you trust me?"
"Why do you keep asking me that? I already told you I do."
"Could I take you out on my surfboard?"
"Why?"
"For fun."
"But I can't swim."
"I won't take you out very far. Just a little."
"Promise I won't drown?"
"I promise. I won't let you drown."
"Then fine."
We went back to the shore to get his board.
"Get on in front of me," Rocky said.
"Why do I have to be in front?"
"So that I know if you fall off or not."
"Fine..."
I sat on the front of his board.
"Sit on your knees."
