The sun beat down on his face and the warm sand crept between his toes as Andy walked down Pacific Beach. The smile on his face only grew as he walked past one bikini clad babe after another. He felt thirsty, so he took a sip of the water in his hand. He found a nice little stretch of beach with really no one on it. He shook out his towel and sat down. "Now a cold beer would complete the image." he thought to himself, so he reached into his cooler and grabbed one from the bottom. He took a sip, laid back, and closed his eyes. He thought about this cute girl he was crushing on from one of his classes.
"Aren't you a little young to be drinking?"
The voice was female, calm, confident, and smiling. Andy opened his eyes in shock. What are the odds that the girl he was just thinking about had found him on that beach at that moment?
"Kirsten! Hey! What're you doing here?" he tried to keep his excitement down to a mild surprise.
"I was just strolling along with some friends when I spotted you and decided to come over. How are you?"
She had left her friends so come talk to him?
"Can't complain."
"You never can, can you?"
"Not while life is good and I'm still livin'."
She smiled. She really is beautiful.
"Mind If I join you for a while?"
Okay, leaving her friends to talk to him is one thing, but wanting to join him? What was going on? Was Kevin around somewhere and setting him up?
"Not at all. Did you want a a drink?"
"Umm, an ice-tea if you have one."
"Sure thing." He looked in the cooler and found a tea.
"Thank you kindly."
"You're most welcome milady." He smiled as she giggled. Things weren't going too bad at all.
He looked out to sea and let the salty air take him somewhere for a while. When he came back to where he was he looked at her and saw that she was smiling at him.
"There's something about you..." she trailed off as she leaned in. She's leaning in. He can't believe it. He moves forward to and closes his eyes. He can feel her there. Her lips mere centimeters away from his. They're about to meet in a fire of passion.
"ANDY, please join us back in reality!"
The entire class was now looking at him, including Kirsten a few seats away.
"Okay, time to say something funny." he thought to himself.
"Sorry, Mr. Swanson." was what he managed to actually say.
The class chuckled and Andy got red. He tried to smile at Kirsten, but she had already turned around and started chatting with her friends, probably about how much of a looser he was. So goes the life of Andy.
