Read Online Crashing Waves by Graysen Morgen - Free Book Online Page A

remember that this was a professional meeting, her heart skipped a few beats staring into the light blue eyes looking back at her. Lori if you could be here right now you'd swear I was dreaming. Somebody pinch me!    
    "So this means you'll do it, right?"
    "Do what?" Rory looked confused.
    "Train me of course. We had a deal."
    "I-uh, well it's like this, Miss Tinsley…"
    "Austin."
    "Huh?"
    "My name is Austin."
    "Yes, uh...Austin, look I really don't have the time to devote to you. You really need some guidance and instruction. For one, I haven't been in the water in years and I just…" She let out a small sigh. "I just can't see myself being the one to do this for you. I'm sorry. I will do everything in my power to find you the best trainer."
    The huge smile on Austin's face disappeared as quickly as it had arrived.
    "I don't want anyone else. Rory, I sought you out purposely. I've told you before, I don't care about your company. This has nothing to do with me riding for Eden Boards. You're a very reputable woman in this industry. I admire and respect you greatly. I came to you because I believe you're the one that can help me. Don't give up so easily, please." I have a connection to you that I know you feel too. Damn it, I know I'm not making this up.  
    "Austin, I agreed to come here and watch you, and I did that. I even threw in my advice and opinions. You have to realize I don't surf anymore. I run my company now. Like I said, you're a talented young woman and I can see you going far with the correct guidance. I can do my best to help you with that, but only in the ways that I can help you."
    The morning crowd began filling up the beach around them as both women headed up to the parking lot. Austin put her board away and slipped her tank top back on. Rory was glad she didn't have to fight herself to look elsewhere, instead of at the very nice-looking hard body in front of her that Austin had covered up.
    "I'll email you as soon as I find out some information for you. I'll toss around a few names and see what I can come up with. Trust me, Austin, this is the best way that I can help you."
    Rory walked around to the driver's side of her Audi and unlocked the door.
    "Rory…"
    "Yes?"
    "Thank you for…uh…for this today. I really appreciate it."
    "You're very welcome, Austin Tinsley. I look forward to reading about you when you do go pro and hopefully I'll see you sign with my company. Have a nice weekend." Rory got in her car and put the top down as she backed out of her parking space. The little blue sports car was gone before Austin could even start her SUV.

    Austin walked into her apartment, setting her surfboard down in the corner next to Lori's as she looked around for her scrupulous roommate, who was nowhere to be seen. Wonder where she went. Hmm…oh well, it's not like you're going to believe me anyway, Lori . Just as Austin rounded the corner to the kitchen, Lori ran directly into her.
    "Ouch!" Lori yelped as she crashed into her friend.
    "Oh my God you scared me. What the hell are you doing?" Austin said, just as surprised to see her.
    "I'm eating lunch. What the hell are you doing? I thought you went surfing?"
    "I did. I left early to beat the locals. I looked around for you, but I figured you'd left when I didn't see you."
    "I was in the kitchen the whole time. Want a sandwich?"
    "Uh, no thanks."
    "How was Redondo this morning? The surf report said it was up but you know their version of up."
    "Actually, it wasn't too bad, north swell with about four, maybe five foot waves, past the break. The water was a little warmer than I expected. I had a few nice rides before the local rats took over. Rory wasn't too happy about me getting there late, but…"
    "Excuse me. You honestly don't think I believe that she met you there, right?"
    "Of course, I know you don't believe me, but I'm serious. Why would I make that up? Anyway, like I was saying, she gave me some advice and said I have a nice
