On the sandy shores in early morning light.
Permalink Closed


Sounds of the rolling waves crashing against the sandy shoals at the morning high tide willed her ears. Mixture of a gull that woke to the first rays of golden light spilling across the world brought in with hi own welcoming cry. The way the palm trees swayed, their thick green leaves brushing against each other with that faint hiss almost lost on the wind. Ticking clicks of the small pod of dolphins that came up close to the beach every morning going after the schools of fish in the hallows added their own touch. These were all things Arcaeli had always found so peaceful and calming about the early mornings here. Today they held no joy for her, no blissful comfort that months ago she had come to love.

Her cell was clutched so tightly she was fearing in part that she would crush the damn thing in her grip. The only reason she finally stuffed it in to her shirt pocket was that hope Adam would call back soon and they would be able to work out some things. The sand was cold under heart shaped curves, even the thick denim could not keep that chill from creeping up her spine and in to every bone. Old, that was how she felt, and it made her whole body feel brittle and tired.

Slender legs drawn up against her chest, elbows pressed to her knees so when she bowed her head to her chest with fingers laced together. This was her church, her place to pray to god and beg him for guidance and confess her sins. So much had gone right... and sill so much had gone wrong at the very say time. Most over the foolish decision he had made with her life. The surf competition had come and gone, withdrawing herself a few days before the first heat Kelly Slater had taken the win and was on to another shot at the big prize in Australia this summer. The kids had done well though, and donations had come pouring in securing they would be running for the rest of the year. These were things she was thankful for, for her health, for the safety of the horde and that no one had lost their lives. Good business at the shop and that her little sister had made it here safely. One after that other came to words, whispered off her lips to the powers on high.

"Dear god, I thank you for all these things, and it is not my place or my right to ask for more. Not when I have asked for so much in the past. But please give me the strength I need to be what they all need me to be, to do what they all expect of me, and please. I beg you, just give me one more chance to make this all right, to have what my heart so longs for. Forgive me my sin of pride for the past I have led, for the lust in my heart and of my flesh and give me the will and guidance to keep from falling in to that trap again."

Frivolous with her body, taking for granted that her pain gave her the right to fill it with any one she could. No wonder the papers were painting her a harlot, she had falling in to a habit of giving in to the temptation just to fill her bed and end the nights of sleeping alone. As much as the others had tried to crawl in to her bed each night, or surround her when she slept she always ended up leaving after they had fallen to sleep so she could watch them from across the room or curl up on the couch with a book till she passed back out.

"But I ask one thing above all else, Please, I would give my last breath for this... Let him see past my faults, past these mistakes I have made, for not getting this out in the open sooner. Just one more change to take his hand. "

How long she had been sitting there was unknown, but long enough that the Midnight shade had completely faded from the sky. Its powder blue shade hung over head dotted with whip of clouds. The sun rising spilled light over the water quickly warming the evenings chill. Ears picked up the sounds she so loved again, in the distance the light barking of a dog that made the gulls cry seem fainter in the distance. Joggers starting to emerge for their morning runs and a few of the local boys catching early morning waves. Every thing seemed so over cast still... has if wrapped in a low fog.

It was early and usually unwrapping himself from Mayra this early in the morning was something he really hated to do. His head burried into the curve of the golden flesh and the crimson hair a deep breath slowly drawn in from those crimson lips. The tiger within purring happily wrapped up with Mayra and the new Russian tiger who was on her other side his hand reached behind him and wrapped the strong fingers around her hand giving her a squeeze. The half naked body slid from the layers of blankets swinging one of his legs over Mayra's sleeping body his hand brushed slowly over the golden flesh of the woman as he slid away from her. The scent of the tiger who was their queen lingered in the room. Well it was early enough that she had to be doing something close to the beach house so it wouldn't take Colin long to find her. The young beast within was reluctant to move but came along with Colin who was following his nose to where his queen had gone to.

It took him to the back of the house where he spotted the young woman through the large bay windows. A slow smile shifted over the smooth crimson lips he didn't know why he felt warm when he saw her but maybe it was that she had been there of late. Her and Adam saved him once a piece the king from the vampire and the snakes and Ace helped chase off the killer who seemed to think the beach was the best place for its adventures. Colin doubted he would beable to hold his own against the wolf even if everytime he saw the man guilt rushed through him about the night on the beach with the pink  haired wolf. He would always bow to both of them, but being pulled between the two and the conflict that might come from it scared the tiger to his core. Colin left the protection of the building and wandered out to the beach and Ace.

The soft footfalls of the young tiger that wasn't trying to sneak up on her he only wanted to be close. It didn't look like she was in the best of moods so when he moved onto the sand next to her and wraping the bare arm around the slender shoulders of his queen and pulled her up into his lap. Becoming a buffer from the cool white sand that rested beneath the white athletic shorts. Leaning over the rough pink muscle departed from its warm hom and slid over her full lower lip. :: It is so nice out here but the bed is so much warmer up in the bed with Mayra, Ophelia, Joe, and myself. Is there anything you want to talk about? :: He was more then happy to be whatever she wanted from him this morning. The strong nude arms wrapping slowly around her body and hugged her gently in against the frim tanned chest.::

She was not alone any more, could ear the sounds of foot steps coming up before her. The familiar presences was one she was sensing every day now. She was fast in whipping at her eyes to keep those crystal drops from falling when she blinked. The closeness always gave off a warmth in it. Something she savored around all of them. Un-expecting what he did next, pulling her in to his lap like that made her feel like she was being coddled. Was not that she did not enjoy Colin's company, but right now she was feeling just a bit to out in the open.

Her cheek brushed his before she eased out of his lap, and took a seat in the sand beside him. Last thing she wanted was someone else splattering her name in the papers attached to another man's. Not unless it was with the one she wanted. Small hand came to rest upon his making sure he knew she was not pushing him away, just needed to stand on her own at the moment.

"I am just thinking about a lot of things. Like Allowing Lani to take over running the shop... with Mayra. And go back to what I wanted to do when I got out of school."

Was not completely true, She was thinking of a number of things really. She missed taking thing apart and rewiring them, getting her hands dirty and coming home to just an ice cold beer, dirt under her finger nails, clips of wire falling out of her pockets. The long vacation time here in paradise needed to be ended and she needed to put her head back on straight. Outwardly she just seemed tired, and always thinking. She hid it well that she was seeing with out the blinders any more.

"Yes I know its warm up stairs, But I could not sleep and I like being out here to watch the sun rises when I can. What has you up early sugar? I did not wake you when I got up did I?"
