fact that he would be watching me should have been disturbing, but it kind of felt comforting. I didn’t mind having someone watch over me, especially in a place that I really didn’t know much about yet.
We walked around and behind the Laguna hut to the trail that led to the beach. There were three other people standing in a circle talking. Maddi was holding her boogie board and dressed in a pink, one-piece bathing suit. A girl with black hair cut into a bob stood behind Maddi, tying her hair in a ponytail. This was the same girl I had seen the day before. She was wearing really short jean shorts and a purple bathing suit top. She was very attractive. Tan and thin, but it was a I-workout-every-day kind of thin. You could almost see a six-pack on her flat stomach.
A guy with spiky, sun-kissed hair had his head down looking at his phone. He was shirtless, also very tan. I tried not to stare, but his chest and body were almost exactly like…Tristen’s. He was thin but not too thin, with a muscular undertone. Except, he somehow seemed sexier. Maybe it was the skin-tight wet suit that was only halfway on. Or the neon yellow surf board he was clasping to his side.
I looked away quickly and over to Tristen, who was staring off at the beach. I grabbed his hand and intertwined my fingers with his. He glanced at me and smiled.
“Hey, guys,” Destiny greeted as we reached the other three.
“Hi, Grace,” Maddi flashed her braces at me. She was a happy little girl, wasn’t she?
The short-haired girl looked me up and down before glancing over to Tristen and introducing herself. “Hi, I’m Charlie.”
Now that I was able to get a good look at her…wow! She was gorgeous! Like an actress or something. Her neck-length, straight, dark hair was cut to perfection, giving her a layered look in the back; a standard bob haircut. She had a little bit of a bang in the front, and it framed her face exquisitely. Her face was slim, giving her high cheekbones and a soft chin that led to her long, slender neck. She had dark, arched eyebrows and her lips were a beautiful shade of pink. She looked exotic, as if she could be Brazilian or maybe even from another world.
I stared into her eyes, taking in the icing on the cake: she had one green eye and one blue eye. How interestingly cool and sexy!
She was intimidating. And I wondered why the hell she just completely ignored me.
I smiled at her. “I’m Grace.”
“Yeah, I know.”
She couldn’t have possibly given me any more attitude.
“See, I told you everyone has been waiting for you,” the guy said in his foreign voice, not looking up from his phone.
“Is everyone ready to get in the water? Come on, let’s go!” Maddi began skipping toward the beach.
“Maddi, be careful!” Charlie called out to her.
We all started to walk to the beach when suddenly I realized how impolite I was being.
“Oh, I’m sorry. Everyone this is Tristen. Tristen, this is Destiny, and that’s Maddi,” I said, pointing to the excited little red-head running to the ocean.
Destiny shook his hand. “Hey, man.”
I was learning fast that Destiny wasn’t your ordinary girl. Besides all the darkness she seemed to like, she wasn’t very feminine either.
The foreign guy finally looked up from his phone. “Hello, mate. Ian.”
Mate? Okay, he was Australian. Maybe. Oh, and woah! He was…very cute. Pretty boy. That was all I had to say.
We reached the shore. Maddi was already in the water splashing around with her boogie board. Charlie went straight into the ridiculously blue water to meet up with her.
Ian set his phone and board down to slide into the top portion of his wet suit. Once he zipped up, he jogged out into the water. He dove in, laying down flat on his board and using his arms to paddle out further.
There were waves in the distance, crashing every few minutes.
“There’s a storm coming,” Destiny informed us, taking a seat on a long log partially buried in the sand.
