Chapter 170
On our way to the beach, I stare out the window and embrace the beauty that's around me. We usually drive along the coast road and from where we are, the ocean is visible on my right. I can see a couple of seagulls flying around and I admire them.
They look so free.
My phone rings and I cross my fingers and hope that it's not Blake again. Scott throws me a glance. I look at the screen and I thank God that it's only Roxy.
I answer and put her on speaker.
"Roxy," I say.
"Where are you? I came over to your house and you weren't there. Scott isn't at his place either," she says.
"Oh, I'm with Scott, we're headed to the beach. What's up?" I ask as I tuck my hair behind my ear and stare out the window.
"Kye is back and I was hoping you guys will come for a sleepover. Wren is coming too," she says happily.
"Err..." I turn to Scott and he answers on my behalf.
"Sounds great, Roxy. We'll be there." Scott smirks at me and I suddenly feel hot. I need to breathe. I open the window by one push of a button.
Just breathe.
"Alright then. You two have fun," says Roxy and she hangs up.
Scott and I take a walk along the sandy beach for a couple of hours as we talk. He's quite funny when he wants to be and that's one thing I like about him.
Later on, at Roxy's place, we arrive and find everyone in the kitchen cooking. The sweet aroma of roasted parmesan chicken makes my mouth water. Roxy loves chicken. Alot! She knows more than five chicken recipes and I am quite surprised that she's cooking tonight. Oh wait, she's cooking because her man is back. I giggle at the thought. Vic and Wren are making smoothies while Kye is watching Roxy serve food into plates. He's looking at her with eyes full of longing and desire and I can't help but smile. They look so cute together.
"Wow! It smells really good in here," I say as Scott and I walk into the kitchen.
"Kyrah! How have you been?" Kye walks to us and hugs me then fist bumps with Scott.
"I've been... great, depressed a little, but I'm doing better." I grin at him and he nods.
"I didn't even know you were coming," Scott says.
"It was meant to be a surprise, man," Kye says as he pats Scott on the shoulder.
"Babe, you won't believe what happened a few weeks ago," Roxy says placing plates around the kitchen table and we all sit.
"What happened?" Kye asks and Roxy looks at me.
"Well, Roxy might have left out some bits about it when she told you but... we all got into a very insane fight. Except for Wren and Vic. See your girl? She nearly chocked the life out of someone." I laugh as Kye's eyes widen and he turns to look at Roxy.
"What? It wasn't that serious, babe." She shrugs and I give her the really-is-that-how-it-was look. "Err, Scott and I went a little overboard. But it was the best..." she signals Scott and I to join in.
"WWE world heavy weight championship match!" Scott, Roxy and I say in unison. It's kind of funny when I remember how Roxy tore Sabrina's dress into pieces. It looked like she had just gotten in a fight with a wild animal.
"Nice!" Kye chuckles and pecks Roxy's cheek, "Sounds like all of you had fun." Kye says. "Anything else?"
"There's a lot, but since you'll be here for a few days, we'll let you in on the details. For now, let's dig in peeps," Roxy kisses Kye's lips.
"PDA much," Vic teases and Roxy rolls her eyes at him.
"He's mine, duh!" she says and we all chuckle.
After dinner, we decide to play a few games to jog up our brains.
"Okay. Why aren't koalas actual bears?" Wren asks, holding a laugh. Apparently no one knows the answer.
"Because they don't meet the koalafications!" she says and we all burst into laughter.
"Hold up!" I pause and hold on to my stomach which already hurts from laughing. "If Sabrina was a teenager, behaving the way she usually does, what would you call her?"
"Wait, wait... Uhm... Sabrina the teenage witch?" Wren answers and we all laugh again.
"That was a good one! You guys are insane," Scott adds as his laughter dies down. "My turn. Well since Sabrina is now the topic, might as well throw one in. If Sabrina was the devil's daughter, what would be her name?"
We all ponder for a few minutes. As we look around at each other. Everyone shrugs.
"That's a tough one. What's the answer?" Roxy says.
"Her name would be Cruella 'De Vil', get it?"
Wren smacks the top of the island while laughing and the rest of us have our mouths forming an O, as we all say "Oh!"
"Oh damn, that's a good one." I chuckle. "But just so you know, Cruella was actually nice to me today. We didn't even argue when we were at Blakes." I brief the others on what happened.
"That was probably an act, but who cares anyway. She'll always be cruella," Roxy says.
As usual, we play board games and end up watching a movie and go to sleep at around 2am.
Scott and I sleep in the guest room. At this point, I am used to sharing a bed with him and sleeping next to him but tonight, I somehow feel shy and too cautious.
"You seem a little tense. What's wrong?" He sits up and leans against the head board. I purse my lips and get under the sheets next to him. I can feel his warth spreading over to my body. The feeling is amazing.
"It's okay if you don't want to sleep next to me. I can go sleep on the couch," he says and begins leaving the bed but I stop him by holding his hand.
"No. Stay." I trust him. He's never done anything suspicious while I was asleep so why not trust him tonight? "Come to bed," I say and lie on my side, facing away from him.
Seconds later, his body joins mine and he switches off the lights. I stare into the darkness until he speaks.
"If you're free tomorrow during the day I–"
"I'm always free." I cut him off and turn to face him. Even though I can't see his face, I can tell he is smiling.
"I want us to go to the beach again," he says and I go quiet for a minute.
"I'd love to," I say and suddenly his arm flies around my waist and it stays there until I fall asleep.
For the rest of the week, Scott and I spend time together at the beach, we have lunch and dinner together and one day we play golf together. Well of course he had to teach me how to play first. The only word that can describe the moments that I have been hanging out with Scott lately is bliss.
Pure bliss.
