The Ocean

“That was amazing.” I smile at Ethan as we begin to head out of the restaurant.

“I’m glad you enjoyed it. And thank you for coming out with me. Are you ready to head back home or would you be up to doing something else?”

I stop walking and turn to face him. “What did you have in mind? I don’t think there is much to do around here on a Sunday night.”

Ethan smiles taking a step closer to me. I hold my breath as he is very close to me.

“Well I can think of a few things we could do.”

I manage to speak. “I’m not having sex with you.”

Ethan laughs, “I didn’t say anything about sex. I know what you are thinking about now though. All you have to do is say the word, Whitney.” He leans down so that his mouth is at my ear. “Just say that’s what you want and I can take you back to my place right now.”

I whimper. I actually whimper. What the … what is wrong with me?

Ethan takes a step back and I can finally see straight again.

“You have got to stop doing that.” I frown at him.

“Stop doing what? I haven’t done anything, yet.” He winks.

I huff and go to turn around to walk off but he grabs my wrist pulling me back.

“Ok, I’m sorry. I will stop. I was thinking about taking a walk on the beach though, would you  be interested in doing that?”

The beach is one of my weaknesses. He doesn’t know that. But I’m sure if I go with him he will figure it out. I finally nod my head in agreement.

Twenty minutes later we are pulling into a drive way of a house. “Umm, where are we?”

“This is one of my houses. I have a private beach area. Nobody is allowed on this part, except for me and if I bring someone out here.”

“One of your houses? Jesus, how many houses do you have?”

Ethan thinks for a second before finally replying with, “Six including this one.”

I mouth falls open.

Ethan laughs at me. “You may want to close your mouth before a bug flies in it.”

“Come on.” He says opening his car door and getting out. I follow behind him.

We don’t go inside the house. He leads me around the side of the house and to the back yard.

It is the most beautiful view I have ever seen. His back yard has a huge pool and a hot tub to the side. Then a long lighted path that leads out to the ocean.

“You can leave your shoes right here if you want to.” He tells me as he takes his own shoes and socks off and leaves them sitting at the beginning of the path.

I slide my heels off and take off down the path not waiting for him. I come to a stop when my toes hit the water. I close my eyes and just take in this moment. This is always the best moment of coming down to the ocean.

When I open my eyes again, Ethan is standing beside me watching me closely.

“Thank you.” I tell him.

“For what?”

“For bringing me to the ocean. I love feeling the water on my toes. I’m not big on going out in the water but this is something that I have always loved. I haven’t been to the water in a while now. It’s so calm and beautiful out here.”

“I’m glad I could do something for you that you really enjoy. We can come out here anytime you want to.”

I glance at him in shock. “You mean you want to see me again?”

“Is that so hard to believe?”

He only wants to get into my pants so I don’t know why I would act so surprised.

“You’re right. You just want to get into my pants so of course that isn’t hard to believe.”

I see something that I couldn’t exactly read flash across his face but it quickly disappears. “Of course. I plan on having you beg for me. You just wait and see.”

I roll my eyes, “No, you just wait and see. You will be begging for me.”

I go to take a step and trip over my own feet which causes me to crash into Ethan. We both go down with me on top of him. My arms are on his chest and his hands are currently holding onto my waist. We are both wet from the water.

I look down at him to see him looking up at me. He has gone completely still.

“I’m sorry.”

I can’t seem to move though. He doesn’t make any movements either though.

Should I kiss him? Should I give him a taste of what he will be begging for? What if it causes me to want more though?

I slowly make a move closer to him. His hands tighten on my waist. My lips are inches from his. We are breathing the same air at this very second. Just as I go to kiss him someone yells out.

“Ethan! Are you out here?” It’s a female voice.

I roll off of him and sit up on the sand beside him.

Ethan sighs and stands up. Wiping the sand off of his back side.

“Ethan!” The female voice calls out again but closer this time.

Finally a female comes into view. She is gorgeous. She has long curly blonde hair and bright blue eyes.

She runs down the path and jumps into his arms. Attaching her lips to his. I look away quickly. I know I shouldn’t feel jealous but I do.

I stand up and wipe the sand off of my back side as well.

“Who are you?” The girl turns her attention to me peeling herself off of Ethan.

“Hey. I’m Whitney. Who are you?”

“I’m Ethans fiance. Why are you here?”

I look at Ethan who was about to speak but I speak before he does. “I just wandered here. I didn’t know this was private property. He had just come out here telling me I needed to leave. I’m going to go grab my shoes and get out of here. I’m sorry again. This won’t happen again.”

I quickly run up the path and grab my shoes.

His fiance??!!?!? He doesn’t date but he has a fiance? What the hell am I missing?

Oh yeah right, he’s a playboy. What was I expecting?

Once at the main road I pull out my phone from my jacket and pull up my uber app.

Someone will be here in just a few minutes to pick me up and take me home.

A few minutes later my ride is pulling up and my phone is going off. Alerting me that I have a text message.

Ethan: I’m sorry. She is my fiance but it’s a long story. Please give me the chance to explain everything to you.

I ignore the message. I turn my phone on silent and slide it back into my pocket.

This night ended horribly. I should have known nothing good would come out of me going out with Ethan.
