Aliya p.o.v.

It’s amazing how thing can change for the best all in a sudden.
This afternoon I was desperately in love with Austin with no idea if he returned my feelings or not and now he told me that he loved me.
I was really happy and I was enjoying fireworks in his hug, it was wonderful. I always loved fireworks and watching them with the guy you love is even better. His head rested on my shoulder and I could feel him breathing.
When the three bangs announced the end of the show people started to go away, but Austin stayed quiet.
“Do you wanna go to the beach?”
I asked him.
“This was the idea, so I’m waiting than people go away.”
“It’s a nice idea.”
“I wanna know more about you, like your career as a surfer. You never told us anything.”
“I know. I’m sorry.”
I felt him smile.
“Don’t worry, I think there’s a good reason behind your silence.”
“Yeah, there is.”
Finally all the people left and we reached the beach, it was so romantic: just me, Austin and the moon. It was a big white moon who lighted up everything like it was morning and not late night.
We sat near the sea and I sneaked in his arms, looking for his chest. I listen to his heart beat for a while, than I snapped back to reality.
My reality was Austin stroking my hair.
“So what’s up?
Why aren’t you professional anymore?”
“An accident. I was riding a big wave and I feel off, I slammed my head against the board and then against a rock. They all thought I was dead, but I wasn’t and I survived, luckily for me with no consequence. I stayed in a coma for a while and then I woke up, I did all the exercise to come back to a normal life. I hoped that I could come back surfing professional, but no way, I was too damaged and so everything ended.
My parents barely talks to me now.”
“Why?”
“Because I can’t give them any money now. They came back to Jamaica and left me here alone.”
He stays silent for a while.
“Are you from Jamaica?”
“Yes. I was born in Kingston.
Here I surfed the first time, an old American ex surfer thought to me everything and then I started to join the first competitions. I was quite good and soon I became the golden goose of my family.
They left Jamaica and we moved on to San Diego, they found a sponsor here. I lived there most of the time before of the accident.
After the accident they came back to Kingston, as I said you, and I moved to Costa Mesa who was less expensive, than I met your band.”
“Lucky day!”
“You bet it. I was going to be homeless, I had no money to pay my rent.”
He laughed.
“And then you had money and me.”
“Well… Yes. I dreamed of you for so long that now it doesn’t seems even real.”
He lifted up my chin and kissed me passionately.
“Does it look more real now?”
“I dunno, you should try again.”
He kissed me again and again.
“Yeah, it’s real.”
“That was a moment i never will forget
Love was at first sight
You came walking through the pale pale moonlight”
He sang an old Bob Marley’s song.
“Yeah, we met in a bar on the beach because you weren’t there when I did my job interview and it was evening.”
“And I felt in love with you.”
“Same.”
We smiled and kissed again.
We stayed at the beach for a while, doing nothing: just talking and kissing.
I looked at my watch, it was late.
“Austin, it’s late.”
“Would you sleep at my house?
Not in a sexual way…Well, if it will happen I will be happy, but don’t feel forced.”
I laughed.
“No problem, Austin. I will call my roommate to tell that her I won’t be at home tonight.”
I called Chia and she answered after a while.
“Ehy, “
She said.
“Ehy, sorry to wake you up:”
“I wasn’t sleeping. What’s up anyway?”
“I will sleep at Austin’s home, don’t wait for me.”
“What? Oh, this is awesome.
I wanna know everything!”
“You will, tomorrow.”
She sighed.
“I guessed so. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight.”
I shut the phone and smiled at him.
“It’s all okay. We can go.”
“Let’s stay there for a while.”
“Ok.”
We watched the moon and we listened to the sound of the sea, I love and hate it. I love it because the sea for me will always be a friend and I hated it because it reminded me that my parents left me here alone. Maybe I was lucky for that, most the parents of my classmates in Kingston were abusive.
“Aren’t you afraid sometimes when you do surf?”
“Sometimes, but I can’t stay far away from it for too long. It’s like a drug, in a god way.”
“I understand. I can’t stay away too much from my band or from music. Even an heart attack stopped me.”
I shivered.
“I was really afraid of losing you that day.”
“But I’m here and I don’t wanna leave you. I think it’s time to go home.”
“Okay.”
We left the beach, it was desert. The people where somewhere else giving fun or not, who cares.
I jumped into Austin’s car and he drove us to his home, it was near the ocean and very nice.
“Do you want something to drink?”
He asked me when we were inside and I was comfortably sat on his couch.
“Tea, please. I’m tired.”
She gave me tea and he drank some water.
“No whiskey, man?”
“I wanna be healthy when I’m at home.”
“Good choice.”
We drank and then he leaded me to his bedroom, I was a little awkward now.
“I don’t wanna show you my body?”
I said nervous.
“I can go out and then you can get into my bed.”
“Ok.”
He left the room and I took of my dress and sandals, than I laid on his bed. Five minute after he came in and took off everything except his boxer and tank top. I faked to watch some other way, but I really enjoyed to view of his body. It was perfect.
Finally we laid in his bed together. We cuddled for a while than I fell asleep feeling the luckiest girl in the world.
