I was so giddy. Me and Dieter had just gone into the separate changing rooms. I put on the swim suit. I look at myself in the mirror. I started to regret this decision of choosing this one. The low cut was a lot lower then I remembered. It showed a lot of my...girly assests. I turned around still looking in the mirror and I kid you not half my butt was out. I remembered Dieter mentioned he ran into Harper so I messaged her a picture if me in the bathing suit with the caption 'why did I pick this bathing suit?'
I positioned the shawl an my shoulders and Harper texted back she said:
'GURLLLL YOU LOOK GOOOOOD! What are you worried about? I tell you what, it won't just be that Harris boy at your knees! -insert winky face- You look stunning, but if your asking put your hair down. Have fun baby cakes!'
I laughed at Harper's comments. I've been noticing that she knows how to make me smile. I put my hair down and ran my fingers through my hair. I thought I still looked like a goblin feces but I trusted Harper's words. I shoved my bag into a locker and grabbed my flip flops from the changing room and headed out.
I scanned the beach for Dieter. I was also eyeing the wave machine I remember them being so much fun and hadn't been in one in ages. I couldn't see him so I started walking on the sand. I saw some guys looking at me like a piece of meat. That somehow made me more confident but lowered it at the same time. Then I remembered something my sister said to me which was the only nice thing she has ever said to me:
'If you are comfortable in your own body and clothes or self-confident it does not mean you're a slut it means your fabulous.'
I took a deep breath and found a toned Dieter laying on the loungers and found my way over to him. I sat on the seat next to him. He was quiet for a while and his cheeks were red. He must have been warm. I, believe it or not, broke the silence.
'Dieter...?' I said.
'Yeah?' he asked, turning his handsome face to me.
'Can we go to the wave machine?' I smiled.
He chuckled one of his attractive chuckles and nodding whilst standing up. I gasped then giggled. I leaped of the lounger and without thinking I grabbed his hand and started walking. It wasn't long until I was realising what I'd done. But to my surprise, Dieter interlocked his fingers with mine and we walked off, hand in hand.
'Wait!' he stopped. 'Your shawl. Are you okay with it getting wet?' he asked. Generally considering that chlorine could get into my shawl.
'Oh! I completely forgot.' I laughed. I took the shawl off my shoulders and folded it up.
'Let me.' he said, taking the shawl. He was bright red, I had to get this guy to the water to cool off. He ran back to our little spot, that was definitely not unattractive. He placed my shawl on my lounger and rushed back. I grabbed his hand, again without thinking, and he held my hand if not tighter then last time. Whilst walking down people were looking at me and Dieter and the both of us hand in hand. I forgot he was THE Dieter Harris, son of Cain Harris but I also didn't care anymore.
We got to the water and it lapped at our feet. I jumped back in shock.
'Oh my lord it's bloody freezing!' I gasped.
'It's not that cold!' Dieter chuckled. 'Here.' He gave we his arm and I wrapped mine around it. As we were getting further in, I was up to my hips, I was latched onto Dieter's arm. I was hanging on for dear life.
'Are you not used to it yet?' Dieter smiled. I used the hair tie on my wrist to tie up my hair in a messy bun on top of my head.
'I'll dunk if you will?' I offered Dieter.
'Let's go for it!' He said laughing. Suddenly out of the blue, the wave machine produces a huge monster of a wave. It dunks us both and when we resurfaced, somehow my arms are wrapped around his neck and his hands are on my waist, and to be honest, I couldn't care less. We both burst out laughing.
'You used to it now?' Dieter laughed. We manage to calm down and we go a little further until we are up to our necks. The waves are a lot gentler and we really get to know each other.
'I don't know about you but I could really go on some slides now.' I say.
'Let's go!' Dieter said, punching the air.
We make our way back to the loungers and dry off before making it down to the main park. We walked around, hand in hand, going on all the slides possible. The ques weren't that long and I had a lot of fun. The park was starting to close so we had to leave. Once we were in our normal clothes. We started to chat.
'Thank you Dieter. I had fun.' I smiled.
'No problem! I had fun too!' he giggled.
We were walking arm in arm, it felt odd not to now, I don't know what came over me because I could never have the courage to say what I said next.
'Do you want to come over for a drink or something? I asked. Dieter looked at me a little surprised.
'If you will have me?' he said.
We called an uber to take us home. We got inside and Dieter went to shower while I put the kettle on. After he came out I had my shower and changed into some clean clothes. Dieter was roughly the same size as Callum so he borrowed some if his old clothes that I had.
We sat on the sofa with our coffees and watched a film, snuggled together under a blanket. It was around 9pm when the movie finished.
'I would much rather stay with you but it's getting quite late I should find a way home.' Dieter told me. I was half asleep at this point.
'Nonsense! Stay the night! I'll take the sofa, you get to bed.' I yawned.
'Are you sure?' He asked.
'Yesss!' I said.
'Ok, but I can't let you sleep on the sofa.' he put his hand on my leg.
'No. Bed. Now.' I yawned.
'You go to bed! I need room on the couch!' he chuckled.
'Nope. I ain't budging buddy.' I wiggled slightly to make myself comfortable. Then Dieter wraped his arms around my waist and fireman carried me to the bed. I screamed.
'Ahh! Hey! No fair!' I shouted. Dieter just laughed and dropped me on the bed but I grabbed his neck so he would fall too. That back fired because he fell on top of me and he had to put his arms either side of my head to break his fall. He just chuckled. He could have done anything else but he chuckled. I was madly attracted to that chuckle. That chuckle was my braking point. I cupped his face in my hands and kissed his beautiful face on his beautiful lips. He was surprised at first but I think anyone would. I pulled back so our lips were no longer touching. He looked me in the eyes then his glance flickered to my lips and he kissed me back. He tasted of sunshine whatever that tastes of, Dieter apparently. The kiss sent little shocks all up my body. Dieter floped on his side onto the left of the bed and scooped me up into his arms and kissed my forehead. I fell asleep in his arms. It was the best night sleep I had ever had.
