I don’t know if this is something everybody have experienced, that sudden intens connection with a person you have never met before. Maybe will it be a thing you only get the experience once with your wife, best friend or more often, new colleague, at a party or as in this story, at course in surfing.
The teacher, black hair, mid-20s, tatto on her back, serious face and mindblowing body. A smile that’s hard not to notice and makes you smile back.
The trigger, sometimes a joke, only you and the other person understands, but this time, only eye contact.
We gather at the beach, she walks towards us, smiling, and before she can reach us we get that deep eyecontact. I think i already then I knew, I need to get to know her. We are 5 people, but I can’t even remember who they are, my mind was on one thing only, that beautiful body in a wetsuit trying to tell us how to behave in the water.
I can see she feels it too, the smile when our eyes meet can’t be mistanken. I can see she tries not to only look at me, but it’s hard, the connection pushes us towards eachother. It’s gonna be a long 2-hour course.
