I just moved to the beach… I think I may be in heaven. This is amazing… I love living alone… no one to talk to when I am so tired I can’t even smile. I love waking up at 2am and going to the bathroom with my eyes closed and the bathroom door wide open. I love my cat’s purr as she looks outside the many windows. I love when I walk in the door, she is waiting and the sun is shining. I see light at the end of the tunnel… literally! My living room, kitchen and bedroom have 7 windows total… amazing light! I think I am in love!
I went for a walk last night… on the beach… the sky was a purplish blue-black color and the wind was cold… but it was amazing and beautiful. I walked up the sidewalk… towards the stone fence that blocks the rocks of the beach. It isn’t a beach really… just rocks and water. Honestly I am not sure what the definition of beach is… so if it’s the entire coast then hells… I live right off the beach… but if a beach means white sand and blue water… then I am living far from the beach. Whatever the case… I love the sound of the waves hitting the rocks; I love the smell of the salt in the air…
There were surfers in front of me… what the heck! Surfers… near Boston? Where have I been for three years…. Surfers! And they were near my age… I thought for sure they must be 17-18… but not 30! I mean maybe 25-35… but man it was F-ing COLD… were they nuts? They did have black wet suits on… and I wondered how warm they really were… they were nuts!
I was uncomfortable walking near the small group of guys and a dog. I just walk by and maybe smiled? I walked toward the end of the sidewalk… walking towards two women and another dog… they were watching a group of surfers walking into the waves… I shook my head as I walked up to them saying, “they are crazy… it’s so cold out there!” The lady with the dog said, “Ha! Are you from Texas too?”
We talked then… the three of us… those two a bit older then me… the lady standing on the rock tells me her son was one of the one’s surfing…. He was from New town… I was like what! “I just moved from there!” She finally says, “Ok I better go take a picture… this is why I came… to take a picture.” We said our goodbyes and walked away… I walked around a bit… and then out to the water… watching the surfers… amazed by them and there passion to be out there in that cold cold water…
I stopped next to the lady with the son one more time… we talked about what I did… where we were from… me vt… her visiting her son who just graduated college-she was from Texas… he just got his masters she says… but has started his own landscaping business… was doing good… I imagined some little boy… maybe he resembled my cousbro in st Augustine…. But that is how I imagined him…
I said my goodbyes and walked away… walked near the water down the rocks… away from the surfers…. I sat on the rocks and talked to my mom… watched the coast… watched the lady and her son… I walked some more and stood and watched the cruise ship come out of the harbor… it was funny to see such a ship out there… and I am in Boston not Florida!
As I walked up to the sidewalk… I noticed the lady with her son was just getting into his car. I got this twist in my stomach and I thought about turning around… I did not want to walk up there… he was older then I thought he would be was my first thought… he was using a towel to wipe out his hair… and he just watched me… I was super uncomfortable. and I just smiled and said you are nuts… when he laughed my stomach dropped… he had the best smile… he turns and walks to his truck… I follow since this is the only way to the sidewalk… I see his mom in the truck… I smile and wave… he see’s this and smiles… he stops at his back and says…
“So you just moved here my mom said?”
I said “yea,” he says,
“How long ago?”
“2 weeks”
“Wow, yea you just moved here huh”
“Laugh yup, I love it though!”
“I am MR Surfer by the way”
“I am K”
“Nice to meet you… I have a few married couples friends that live right here… they seem to love it… I should get your number and have them call you.”
He had the best smile and the most AMAZING blue/green eyes… man… why is he talking to me? I thought for sure he was going to be an ass… he was too hot to be anything else…
“Sure,” I say. Shocked.
He goes toward his mom… leans in… with his black sweat suit stretched over his thighs… oh my!” He asks her to find a notepad he has sitting there… a notepad that I have had… an artists notepad… and writes my number… says his friends were super cool… chill… live not to far away. I was trying to hold onto my pure awe of him… not sure how well I did to be honest… as I said, “that would be great!”
He smiles and says I will have them give you a call, there names are Sue and Stan… I smiled and said thanks. He was like, I know what its like to move to a new place… not knowing anyone… I laughed and said yea… I moved 10 miles away from most of my friends and I feel like it’s 100… he laughed and said “I can so see that…”
“Nice to meet you!” I was like nice to meet you too!
Oh my god… my heart was racing… it happened… it has been a long time since that has happened… oh my god…so hot!!!
I hope to god he calls… I have decided to not obsess about it and maybe he will… god maybe he will… I may just have to go back to the beach… watch the surfers more often… maybe there are more cute surfer boys… not to old AND def not to young. Not so far yet.
But man, he was nice! I hope he calls… he prolly has a woman… but as I said… maybe there will be someone else just as nice and just as cute… and make my heart race once again.
