“Well, I was just hoping that you had planned a lunch break in between all these little surprises of yours,” Brian smiles and turns his focus from the road to you.
“Yeah, I do have something special planned for lunch. Can you wait like 5 minutes though?”
“I suppose,” he pretends to sound annoyed but you know he really isn’t.
“Well, I’m sorry but there isn’t exactly any place for me to stop here,” you point out to the fields spreading beside you.
“Yeah, I was just playing with you,” he nudges your side.
As the clock turns to 12:41, you sight your next stop, however, your thoughts don’t go unnoticed as the “Public Beach” sign passes.
“Hmmm... could this be where we are headed?” he questions.
“Yeah,” you sink down in your seat out of disappointment, “You got me!”
As the car rolls into the parking lot directly before the beach, he says, “Now this is what I would call a tourist attraction!”
“Is that bad?” you wonder.
“No, I am a tourist you know,” he smiles.
“Ok, this would be it then,” you point to the vast spread of beautiful water.
“Easy enough,” he turns and parks the car, “Wow, this is a really nice beach,” he squints his shimmering blue eyes as he gazes over the water sparkling in the sun, “It is really beautiful, the view and the water and everything.”
“Yeah that is why I love it here.”
“I can see why, it isn’t even crowded either!”
“It is a great beach,” you smile and think how much better it is with Brian beside you, “So you approve?”
“Definitely,” he opens up his car door and gets out. He walks around the car to your door and opens the door for you, “We have arrived mademoiselle.”
“Oh why thank you sir,” you take his arm and walk to the back of the car.
He pops the trunk, “Your things mademoiselle?”
You can’t remain serious any longer and you begin laughing. You release his arm and then shove him lightly, “You are too much Brian.” He laughs in response . You lift your beach tote from the trunk.
“Need help with that?” he asks sincerely.
“No thanks, I got it. Right this way.”
He shuts the trunk and follows you to the beach. Setting down the tote bag, you take a blanket out. You lay the blanket out and then pull out a small cooler pouch containing room enough for two drinks and set it out on the blanket. Sitting on the blanket, you motion for him to sit beside you.
“This is nice,” he says complimenting your creativity.
“Glad that it gets the Brian Thomas Littrell approval,” you smile as you unzip the tiny cooler thing and take out a canned ice tea, “Here, this is yours.”
“Oh, my favorite.”
“Oh, I had no idea,” you say as you pull out your favorite drink and then put the little cooler thing away in your beach bag.
“I bet,” he grins at you.
“Ok, you got me again, I planned that,” you blush as he chuckles.
“So what else you got in that nifty bag of surprises?” he asks while trying to peek into it.
Pulling out two brown bags you say, “Lunch.”
He opens his, “Peanut butter and jelly, my fave, hmmm...” he looks at you accusingly.
“Ok so I knew that too,” you smile.
“Why does that not surprise me?” he takes a bite, “Mmmm, this is great, thanks.”
“My pleasure,” you both begin to eat your lunches.
After finishing your meal you look at your watch...1:03...and say, “It is so nice out...couldn’t be a nicer day.”
“That water sure looks inviting.”
“Yeah, but you don’t have your swimsuit,” you lay back on the blanket and stare up at the sky.
“True,” he lays beside you and gazes up also.
“Plus...” you begin to say... Suddenly he jumps to his feet and picks you up in his big stong arms and dashes for the water with you squirming in his arms. “What are you doing Brian?! Put me down right now!!” as you near the edge of the water you scream, “ Oh no you don’t mister, put me down!!!”
He enters the nice refreshing water and walks out to where the water hit above his knees, “Ok, whatever you say,” he throws you in the water.
“Brian Littrell, you are going to pay for that,” you splash and jump on his back. Eventually he falls completely into the water.
Laughing extremely hard, he chases you, “Come here you.” You swim deeper and stand where the water hits your neck. You quickly go under to clear the hair from your eyes.
Surfacing, you see Brian, “Haha,” you laugh as you dodge away from his arm.
“Oh yeah?” he goes under and slicks his hair back. You can’t help but notice how his wet shirt clings to his sexy bod. “What if I were to do this?” he says and dunks you under playfully.
After coming back up, you say, “Ok, what if I were to do this?” you swim under, grab his feet, and pull him under as revenge.
“Hey!” he exclaims, “Well what if I were to do this?” He grabs your shoulders and wraps his arms around you. You expect him to dunk you under again until he runs his fingers through your wet hair and kisses you softly on the lips. Having thoroughly enjoyed the kiss, you smile and gaze into his eyes as they reflect the golden rays of the sun.
