It's a Friday summer night in the beginning of July, and you're light brown nearly blonde curled hair rests on the silky sleeveless red dress you had in the back of your closet, it goes about five inches above your knees, you're wearing an yellow and orange eyeshadow combo with the yellow on your inner eyelid and the orange on your outer eyelid, you have on a little bit of blush that has faded throughout the night and you're wearing a tiny bit of eyeliner with a small wing so you didn't overdo your makeup, you're carrying you're black heels, you just got home from a family get together so you decide to go out for a walk on the beach an nearly perfect stranger approaches you and taps you on the shoulder, he's wearing an unbuttoned over shirt that rests perfectly over his tan muscular body, revealing his perfect abs, he's tall with dark brown hair, it looks nearly black, he has beautiful blue eyes, with an perfectly straight smile, he looks like a model.
You smile and blush just looking at him and you think to yourself "he is breathtaking." you shyly look up and say
"H-hi" and he looks down at you and hands you one of your heels and says
"You dropped this" his voice is deep. You look down and see your only holding one heel then look back up at him and spoke
"I didn't realize I dropped it, I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached" he chuckles and asks
"Are you from around here?" and you explain
"Yeah I live right up the road from here" he looks a little shocked and asks flirtatiously
"Do you come here often? Because there's no way I wouldn't notice a gorgeous girl like you" you blush and get butterflies by hearing him say that and you reply
"I come here almost every day, there's no way I haven't noticed you yet" he smiles and says
"I'm the lifeguard here, but I like to go on walks during the night" you then smirk and say
"We should go grab a few drinks and talk, my sister owns the cafe" he smiles and responds
"I'd love to."
You lead the way and nervously grab his hands and get butterflies when you realize how small your hands are compared to his and he chuckles saying
"Tiny hands!" You act angry and demand
"They are not tiny!" He laughs then compares his hands to yours then you admit
"Okay maybe a little but that's not the point!"
You guys make it to your sister's cafe and you see your sister and she walks up to you and calls to you
"Ana!" The stranger giggles
"I never got to introduce myself."
He reaches out his hand and says
"I'm Josiah Smith, you can call me Josh or Jay" you smile while shaking his hand you respond saying
"I go by Ana, short for Ana-belle, nice to meet you Josh"
Your sister looks completely shocked and a little offended, she belts teasingly
"Is this your lover boy, you never told me you had a boyfriend" I blush and smile saying
"Johanne! We just met!!" She smiles while saying
"Looks like you guys are on a date to me" then she looks at Josh and sneers
"If you hurt her I will have you fired and I mean it" he smiles and looks at you while saying
"Miss. Davis I have zero intentions of hurting her" she smiles and adds
"You may call me Johanne" she pauses for a second pondering and remarks "I think Ana would love it if you'd attend dinner tomorrow night, I would say tonight but she just ate at our family get together."
He looks you up and down "that explains why you're dressed up"
you smile and giggle "I wanted to look cute" you twirl gracefully "don't I look cute?"
He chuckles "I don't care how dressed up you are in my eyes you'll always be cute"
You smile and look deeply into his eyes while your heart beats rapidly you can hear it in your ears and feel it in your throat, but it's not in a bad way like it is when your anxious, it's the heartbeat that makes you smile and feel warm inside, he's staring back and he puts his hands on your hips and you look up and swoon as you think
"He's going to kiss me" but of course your sister Johanne ruins the moment and clears her throat asking
"Are you guys going to sit somewhere or just stand there like idiots?" You giggle nervously when he turns to Johanne removing one of his hands from your hip and he pulls you closer to his side by your waist resting his hand there and he smiles nervously saying
"Right I forgot" then leads you to a table for two that has a singular rose and states
"We'll sit here" you smile and sit then respond saying
"I would like a vanilla shake to please" and Josh smiles and adds
"I'll have the same."
