Chapter 23: Lifeguard
The days seem to drag on and on. Although our days are filled with tours around the city sight seeing and visiting and meeting Skye's relatives. It is still lacking some sort of something.What that something is, I'm not quite sure.
Friday came too slow! Then it still feels too fast! I haven't seen Ash for the last couple of days and I have this feeling of longing to see him in some way.
Then it hit me, I am looking forward to my date with Ash. Even though he has been constantly messaging me several times a day, sending me emojis, greeting me in the morning, when he's off to work, asking if I ate already, what I ate, if we went somewhere that day, or what we did, telling me he's heading home, and saying goodnight at night, I feel that it is still or I am still missing something.
He calls me and makes little excuses as to why he is calling me, but in the end, he would admit that he just needed to hear my voice. That he misses me. That he wishes I was with him that time. That the sunset at the beach reminds him of me. That he wishes the day would hurry up and be friday already.
Words don't come easy to me in this kind of situations. Everytime he starts to talk like that, I suppose, because of my lack of experience, but not from the lack of trying, I just get tongue tied and then nothing comes out. But I can feel Ash's patience as he just seemed amused every time this happens. Which, at the moment is everytime he calls me. I smirked.
It is as if, I get.. overwhelmed and overloaded with emotion.
What the H? I didn't just thought that, did I? Am I turning out like Skye? Gosh, I think I am turning into an exaggerated mess like Skye. Overwhelmed and overloaded with emotion? Who says that? Who? I wonder. I didn't know Skye's affliction is infectious. I laughed at my own foolishness. Yep, I'm a certified fool and an over exaggerated mess.
Skye advised me to up my game and start to learn what to say back, especially when Ash says something.. if I am not in this situation enjoying his company and back to my old self, I would actually describe it as.. corny. I am amused with this revelation.
But I do like Ash, I am in this situation and what he says to me, is definitely not corny, for me. Otherwise, I would have been in the worst laughing fit, I have ever been in my entire life. Because that's how I am. How I acted in highschool, when guys message me like this, or invited me out, I just laugh at them because I see their actions and words.. CORNY!
Not with Ash. His words, warm my soul, startled my sleeping heart and awoke something in me. And now, I live life and see everthing in colour. When before, I see it all in black and white.
I feel a genuine rush or high when I think of him. I see everything in a different light. Looking forward to the moment I will see him again.
Even counting the days, the hours, the minutes, down to the last second, when I will lay my eyes on him and see his handsome face again.
How his eyes light up behind his glasses when he see me, how the edges of his eyes wrinkled and his dimples deepens, the upturning of the corners of his mouth, as he smiles brightly at me.
To hear his voice, and the rich baritone chuckle when he is amused about something. The warm feel of his rough hands touching mine when we held hands.
I didn't realise how much all this things.. matter. That I look forward to it.
"Hey girl, are you day dreaming again? Why do I have a feeling, you're developing ADD." Skye teased.
Disturbing my day dream is the infamous Skye, with her eyes glintong with mischief!
"If I got ADD, you got ADHD!" I threw back, then grinned back at her. "What time is it?"
"Time flies quickly, girl, if I daydream like you. It's half past one. You need to start getting ready and doll up!" she advised.
" You know I don't doll up, Skye. Don't make me change now!" I said.
"Wynter at least show that you made an effort, if you like Ash, that is or he might think you're not interested" she warned.
Not paying attention to Skye's warning. I did what I normally do. I wore a white shirt and blue slim fitting jeans that flatters my figure and finished it off with a blue cardigan and my white Chucks. I just put a light pink lip gloss and I'm done.
Skye and I walked to the beach as that is where we will meet Ash. The beach is packed today. More so, than the day Ash took me for a walk. From where Skye and I were standing, we saw that there was a commotion on the west side of the beach. The lifeguards including Ash went and investigated the situation.
All we can see is a lady who was holding the inside of her middle thigh and seems to be in so much pain. Then we saw the lady was taken in, the life guard look out tower, to be looked after.
We didn't wait long when we saw Ash running towards us. He was still wearing his lifeguard uniform, which is a light blue rash guard with dark blue collar and "lifeguard" written in the front and back of his shirt and dark blue board shorts. A dark blue baseball cap with white colored lifeguard printed on the front was covering his head. A big radiant smile is pasted on his face.
"Heyyyyyyy!" he greeted, genuinely pleased to see us.
