“Heads up!”
All of a sudden my dissociation is interrupted by a small thud and sand galloping onto my freshly sun-blocked legs. I look to my right and see a Volleyball has landed next to my “water bottle”. I look up and see a human-shaped like Thor with dark hair looking down at me, I can’t see his face, all I see is the sun.
“I am so sorry, my buddy just spiked the ball a bit too hard,” he said while running his hand through his hair.
“It’s cool, I should pay more attention to my surroundings,” I say as I try to stand up.
Just as I stand up, my brain realizes my legs are completely asleep. Before I can topple over, he catches me.
“Shit are you okay?” he asks me while I finally catch a glimpse of his face. His prominent eyes flash me an unknown look, and I lose the ability to make full sentences.
“Uh, yah, um, leg’s, frozen,”.
Oh God, am I still alive? Did I die? What’s happening? He’s touching me. My arms are tingling from his soft skin. I feel stuck like I’m in mud, and his hands slowly swipe my arms as he removes them from our Velcro skin.
“Okay good, I don’t need to see you break a bone on the beach just from standing up,” he says as a sliver of his teeth shows a suspicious smile.
“Oh no, I’m good, I just, my leg’s fell asleep. I should probably get some exercise before I become a skeleton. K, bye!”.
OH MY FUCKING GOD, what was that? A beautiful man just helped me stand and I run away.? Cool cool cool. I walk into the water since I have the use of my legs again. The water gets me, I am one with the murky lake.
I back float, for what seems like hours, but I never really know. I once again dissociate and get lost in my thoughts. My friends just leave me in the water because they know how much I love it. They’ve learned I’m not ditching them; I just feel like I was a fish in another life, or maybe a mermaid, I don’t know. Just as I come into another thought, I feel a splash of water on my face. I stand up and wipe the water off and look to see who did that.
“You’ve been in the water for like an hour now, your skin must be like a prune,” he says to me while floating next to me.
“Just call me Prune-Girl, superhero of the lake,” I say, starting to go red from embarrassment.
He tries to hide a smile for a second and lets his bright white teeth demolish his red lips.
“Okay Prune-Girl, how are your legs doing? Not frozen anymore?”.
“Nope, we’re all good here. I love the water so I can spend hours floating around,”.
“Me too, I was on the swim team all throughout high school and college, but I prefer your more chill attitude to the water,” he says looking back at his friends.
“Well, I was in band and the chess team on high school so I think we lived very different lives,” I say getting lost in his black eyes.
He lets out a small laugh and rearranges himself in the water.
“I’m Seth by the way,”.
“I’m Bria, it’s nice to meet you,”.
We touch hands and he moves closer to me. I feel like I stop breathing.
“Hi Bria, C…”
“Bro! Let’s go!” a guy yells from the beach.
“I better get going, it was nice to see you Bria,” he says as he gets out of the water.
“Okay, well, bye,” I say coyly as I watch his group pack up and go.
I let out a frustrated breath of air and walk out of the lake back onto the hot summer sand. My friends didn’t even notice what just happened, but I feel different. I lay back on my towel and hear a ding from my phone. It’s a new Instagram follower, SethSweets. How did he find me? I guess my name isn’t very common, but that was fast as hell. He must not be driving his friend group. His page is full of professional candy images. It looks like he owns a candy store. What the hell, that’s so cute. I’ve even been to this store before; I didn’t know the owner would be as yummy as his product. I hit follow back and swipe through the images of brightly colored candy. I swiftly get another notification with a new message.
“Hi Prune-Girl, how are your legs doing?”.
Am I going to get a date out of this? Okay, raise your standards, this is normal behavior. Right?
“My legs are doing absolutely fine Mr. Sweets. I’ve been to your store before. You’ve got some tasty stuff  ,” and I hit send before I even realize how dirty that looks.
“;)” Is all he sends back to me. I don’t know how to respond to that, I’m so embarrassed.
Once I put my phone away, we all decide to head home for the night. Barely 5 minutes into the drive, I get another notification.
“Would you like to grab a drink tomorrow night, Bria?”.
“Yes, I would love to”.
Part 2
“So, I just said to her, Mom, I don’t want to be a doctor. I’m opening my own sweets store,”.
“And look at you now. I think that deserves a cheers!”, I say as I hold my wine glass up in the air.
*Ding Ding*
Seth looks down at his phone and I take another sip of my white wine.
“Oh shit. I have to get to work. It looks like someone has broken into the store,” he explains.
“Oh damn, well you better get going then,” I say sadly.
“Come with me,” he says as he puts down money to pay for drinks.
He grabs my hand, leads me out of the bar to his car, and I can’t breathe. My palms are so sweaty, how does he not notice it?
His hands are firm and strong- and kind of sticky. It must be from all the candy he works. We drive for about 5 minutes and park in the back of his store.
“You wait here, I just want to make sure everything is okay before you come in,”.
I sit inside his car while he’s inside for about 20 minutes. My brain gets lost in the thought of making out with him. As my thoughts get hotter, Seth opens my car door and grabs my hand. He leads me into his office.
“You want some free candy?”.
“Obviously, who turns down sweets?” I say putting my tongue around a long sucker while looking him straight in the eyes.
He gives me a mysterious look with one side of his mouth moving towards his ear. He steps towards me, fervently grabs my face, and presses his lips against mine. I feel his lips part mine with precision, like he’s done this many times before, but I don’t care. I drop my sucker and wrap my arms around his waist. He pushes me against his office door while our tongues dance. I taste his sweet sweat and it gives me an energy boost. His breath is heavy, and I feel his muscles throughout his torso contract as my hands swipe up and down. We take a breath, and he puts my hair behind my ears.
“Let’s get out of here,” he says as he leads me back to his car and locks his office.
“Is your store okay??” I ask as I grasp for words.
“Yeah, it’s nothing. Just a raccoon or something,” he says as we drive the short distance to his place.
We park and he opens my car door. As I stand up, I feel him grab my face again and kiss me with more passion than anyone ever has before. I let out a moan without meaning to.
“Do you want to come inside with me?” he asks as he steps back.
“Yes,” I say trying to catch my breath.
“Thank God,”.
We go up the elevator to floor number 6 and he leads me to his apartment. He opens the door and just as I notice how beautiful his place is, he kisses me once more. This time he kisses my mouth just once before he kisses down to my neck. I lean back and feel my knees go weak. Just as I feel myself sitting down, he grabs my waist and lifts me up onto his countertops, like I weigh absolutely nothing. I laugh and he looks at me with reassuring eyes.
“You are so beautiful,” as he moves down and opens the buttons to my jeans.
“Oh my God,” I say with all my power.
He smiles at me and then pushes my thighs open. I go limp and he parts my legs with his soft hands. He goes onto his knees, brings his head down, and starts kissing the inside of my thighs. He starts near my knees and kisses me until he reaches my underwear. He takes his nose and runs it up and down my vagina outside of my panties.
“Fuck,” I say uncontrollably.
He lets out a slight laugh and then he grabs my underwear and slides them down my legs. Next thing I know, his tongue is licking all of me, slowly, but with an obvious destination. I can feel his breath on my thighs as he licks and kisses me, teasing me every moment. My head falls backward, and my arms catch my body behind me as his tongue lightly lingers. I moan quietly, trying to stifle myself so I’m not that loud.
“You don’t have to be quiet. No one can hear us,” he says to me while holding my legs open.
He puts his thumb lightly on my clit and I scream without thinking. He moves his thumb in circles, lightly, all around my lips. He brings is face up to my wet pussy and his tongue again draws around my lips. Once he gets to the bottom, his tongue slowly slips inside of me, licking in an upwards motion back to my clit.
“Oh fuck, you taste so good,” Seth says as he grabs my ass.
“Mmm, keep going,” I say with heavy breathing.
“Greedy,” he says while smirking.
His tongue twirls around my soaking pussy, it feels like a skating rink. He makes his way back to my clit and set his motion on it. I feel the crescendo of an orgasm coming to me and I moan while grabbing his hair, pushing him closer into me. Closer and closer, until finally I’m shaking and screaming with a pleasure I’ve never felt before. His tongue holds still on my clit and he lets me feel every last quivering moment.
“Holy shit…. Oh my God…. I just… Wow,” I say with heavy breathing.
I sit there and catch my breath as he comes back up to me and kisses my forehead. He smiles at me and gives me a hug. I can feel his hardness through his jeans. He walks to the sink, grabs a glass of water, and hands me some paper towels. He puts the glass down on the sink and I grab his belt to pull him toward me. I kiss him and let our tongues collide while pulling his entire. I lower my hands down to his belt and undo it. He grabs my hand and leads me toward the bedroom.
I sit on his bed and take off my shirt while watching him do the same. I pull his jeans down and grab his hips to pull down his boxers. He is hard and thick. I lick his shaft up and down while simultaneously kissing it. He moans and we connect eyes while I fondle his balls. My mouth meets his tip and I swallow his entirety, moving my head up and down slowly. I grab his hips and pull his body deeper into my throat. My gag reflex disappears, and I take him as deep as I can. I move my head quickly and with passion while his moans egg me on. I kiss him up and down and grab his ass while I choke on him, with pleasure. Suddenly, he cums aggressively and moans while scrunching his face.
“You’re good at that,” he says while smiling.
He goes into his washroom and grabs me a glass of water and a cloth. I lay down on his bed while he cleans himself up.
“So, this is some first date,” I say to him through his bathroom door.
“Better not be our last,” he says while smirking at me.
I smile at him while he lies down next to me. We fall asleep in each other’s arms while making out and talking about our lives.
