Not an Option (Book1)

Chapter Twenty-Two

“Are you okay?” she asked me worriedly

 “Yeah, I'm fine” I explained to her

 “Thank gosh, I heard about what happened to that bastard. Thank you” she replied with relief in her voice

 “Did you want to accept my offer of a date?” I asked her

 “Sure, all you have to do is ask” I could hear her smile through her voice

 “I’ll walk to your place. The date isn’t exactly traditional” I gave her a hint

 “ I can’t wait to see what it is” she replied

 “Just so you know, you can wear casual wear. Oh and… actually that will spoil it. Don’t worry” I laughed, it would give it away and I didn't want to ruin the surprise for her. This was going to be fun.

 “You’re teasing me” she laughed

 “Alright I’ll be there soon” I told her

 “Sure” she hung up the phone

 I put on some board shorts and threw on a singlet. After all we were going to the beach, I just hope she isn’t wearing anything too new that might get ruined.

 I didn’t want to do anything to cliché on this date, like going to the movies or something but I wanted it to be fun.

 “Were are you taking her?” Hayden asked

 “The beach” I answered him

 “Good choice” he praised “Go get her tiger” he encouraged

 “Hayden” I laughed slightly embarrassed.

 I exited the door making my way to her. Her house wasn’t very far away just down the road, convenient for sure.

 I knocked on her door, she appeared in old clothing as if guessing something outdoorsy was going on. She still looked dam cute even in old clothing. She could pull of any clothing she wanted to.

 “Lets go” I held my hand out, as she took my hand, it caused me to feel the connection between us. It was prominent.

 “Let me guess” she was about to guess where we were going

 “Nope, no guessing” I laughed

 “Why not?” she complained

 I held her hand that was in mine to my lips, I gave it a kiss before putting it back down between us “All in time” I told her. She blushed looking away

 “You are so cute” I laughed

 “You're so mean” she grinned

 “I'm allowed to be, because I'm the man” I told her, she frowned at me in response but her smile gave her away, she knew I was joking.

 We came into the view of the beach “Would you have guessed?” I asked her

 “Honestly no” she admired the ocean from far away

 “Ready?” I asked her

 "For what?” she asked confused

 I picked her up in my arms running down to the beach. We came inches of the water

 “Don’t” she squealed

 I walked into the water deep enough so that when I throw her in she wont hurt herself

 She held onto me tightly as if she’s never letting go. I kind of like that.

 I threw her into the water, she screamed before hitting the water. I swam over to her where she had surfaced
