We leave the restaurant and walk towards the pier. The sun is beginning to set as we get to the end of the pier. Looking down at the calm cool water you comment on how much you’d like to feel the sand between your toes and the water at your feet. I grab your hand and guide you across the pier and to the beach. As you struggle to take your shoes off I pick you up and run you to the shore. Screaming and giggling with joy, you begin to think I’m going to throw you over into the water. Still not able to stop laughing you scream for me to stop, but I don’t. Right as I get to the shore line, and the water is at my feet, I gently set you down. You’re standing in front of me; sand between your toes and water to your knees, our eyes meet.
Time stand stills, we haven’t noticed that the sun has almost fully set. I lean in and our lips touch. The sensation is numbing yet ecstatic at the same time. Your hand comes up to the back of my head as my hands or set gently upon your hips. Pulling each other closer the embrace becomes more intense. As we release I realize how dark it is, and begin to walk with you back to the shoes that we left next to the sidewalk, only knowing where to go by the guiding light of the restaurants inland.

Halfway back you stop moving, my arm jerks and causes me to turn around and with that instantaneous motion you pull me in for another kiss. This one is longer, more passionate. Your tongue parts my lips just slightly. A loud crack of thunder hits right above us and rain begins to blanket the area. There was never a chance to make it back to shelter, let alone my car. Neither of us realize how wet we’re getting. We feel alone, private in the most public place. As we part, our eyes lock again, yet now we notice the water trickling down our faces.

My head darts around looking for a place to go, but it’s too dark outside. I see the pier and notice that the light from above slightly illuminates the area underneath it. Pulling in the direction of the pier we both run as fast as our legs can take us. As soon as we reach the underbelly of the old wooden pier, we both fall exhausted to the ground. Starting to chuckle and laugh I look over at you and realize how radiant you look with the soft light from above falling upon your face causing your eyes to look slightly green. I lean towards you, but you playfully lean back. I don’t stop, still advancing. You can’t go any farther back, lying completely on the ground.

Me to your side I start to give you short kisses, teasing you back for the stunt you just pulled. You know me better than that. You grab the back of my head once again and pull me for a longer sensual kiss.
