27 June 2012
I blinked awake as the cool breeze blew in through the open window, I was wearing little pj shorts and a vest which had ridden up in the night exposing my midriff, I trailed my hand along my stomach wistfully, trying to imagine what it would feel like to have a baby growing inside me, another life that depended completely on me to care for it. I sighed deeply, causing Adam to stir, he blinked open his bleary eyes and ran his hand through his messy hair. He smiled at me when he saw my hand resting near my tummy. 'it seems cooler today, we should go and check out the beaches and what the island has to offer.' I said jumping out of bed, pulling on my navy bikini and putting shorts and a vest on top. By the time I was ready to leave Adam was only just slowly dragging himself out of bed. 'and I thought girls were meant to be the ones who took hours to get ready.' I teased.
We lay our towels out on the silky white sand, we lay down listening to the clear blue waves gently lapping at the shore, they gently lulled me off to sleep, it was wonderful with the sun beating down on me warming me, and the cool breeze caressing me as it blew around me. I awoke to millions of cool water droplets landing on me, I let out a squeak and opened my eyes to see a small boy, grinning and laughing, he had water still dripping down his legs from being in the water and his hair was slowly springing back up from where the water had plastered it to his head. His mum rushed over apologizing, but Adam and I barley heard her, we were only thinking of how that could be us in a few years. 'oh don't worry, it's fine I was just about to go in anyway.' I said, she smiled apologetically and took the boys hand and walked him back to their towels. I stood up and walked towards the shore, Adam ran behind me picked me up by the waist and slung me in the water. I shrieked as the cool water met my body and Adam swam up and held me against him, 'that was evil.' I laughed, he smiled and kissed me gently. 'then he looked over his shoulder at the young boy and his family. 'that could be us soon.' he smiled excitedly, then kissed me again, this time more fiercely, we both lost ourselves for a few minutes until his hand slipped down to my waist, and I pushed him back. He looked at me sheepishly, and I raised one eyebrow at him. 'I don't think that kind of behavior is appropriate in a public place.' I teased. He pulled me back to him, cradling my face in his hand and kissed me lightly, but lovingly.
