JULIAN OLIVAREZ
I don't know how long I have been driving or where I'm going. The goal is to get away from everything and everyone,I'll deal with them later. For now I wanna let myself feel the pain,I wanna express my emotions without anyone telling me to stop or that it'll be okay. I know it won't,so an escape away from everyone I know is the ideal plan.
Moments later, I check on my wrist watch to realize I've been driving for 5 hours non-stop,only to find myself at a beach. I have never been to this part of the country,it is really beautiful here. Why hasn't anybody listed it among places to visit for vacays or retreats!
I walk mindlessly towards the ocean an sit down in the pebbled white sand. I did not carry a blanket, so I sat in the sand.
"How come my life is so jinxed in some departments?" I ask no one in particular.
I can't believe that the day that was supposed to be the happiest of my life turned out to be the shittiest of them all. I can't call it the worst because at least I was lucky I found out about their affair before this went too far and couldn't jump out of it.
I think about literally everything all at once. My family's reaction to this whole saga,my business partners and employees. Everyone, how will I face them after this chaos has settled down since I don't plan on going back their till I've collected my thoughts!?
Staying away from people and social media seems like the best option for now. I don't want to watch or see my face in the news,it will only depress me. Ive been there,dont wanna go back even for a second.
I stayed seated at the shores until dusk,watched as the sun met the waters at the horizon. It's a beautiful sight. I've always loved the sky and lakes so this is a sight to behold since it looks like both meet at some point in the middle. It's amazing how distant things like the sun and ocean meetat some point of the day.
I have always loved being around water bodies,all my life. There is away I feel whenever I'm near them. It feels euphoric,like I'm welcome. Even when my life is a mess,being around water always heals me,it gives me comfort.
No wonder my body led me all the way here. The night breeze calms my disorganized emotions. Now I'm only feeling a little tense, but nothing I can't handle.
I see someone approaching me in the peripheral view but can't figure them out. I wait for whoever it is to pass by me but they don't. Rather, I hear shuffling from beside me only to look back then lo and behold the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. I look back to the lake because I don't want whoever this person next to me to think I'm checking them out.
I then quickly make effort to get way from stranger danger, so I stand up but the stings in my feet set me back down. I hear chuckles from my neighbour so I'm forced to look back with a scowl.
"What's so funny I join you?" I say, giving him a once over. I then try again and thank God I don't fall back this time round.
As I'm about to leave,I hear a smooth velvety voice speak "I'm really sorry for laughing at that. Anyway, I saw you so deep in thoughts and thought you might need company. That's why I came to join you but it looks like you're on your way back." This stranger says.
Turns out he's a man,he looks likes a Greek god.His beautiful heterochromic eyes are entrancing. I find myself getting lost in them,his gaze is like he can read my soul. His shoulder length silky Raven hair,that tan skin,oh God he has a cute nose and then those beautiful luscious lips. 'Just how could a man be this good looking!' I thought to myself
He has a muscular build, definitely taller than me. I stand at 6.6" but this Adonis may be a good 7 feet tall or even taller than that. He's sitted but you can tell from how long his legs are.
I hear him clearing his throat and that gets me to notice that I had been staring longer than intended. Oh God what's going on with me! I feel my cheeks heating up and suddenly my feet are so interesting.
" Like what you see! Might as well take a pic they do last longer" He says in that oh so manly voice, making me blush even more at my thoughts about his voice.
Good enough I don't know him otherwise I wouldn't hear the end of it,had it been someone I knew
"Sorry" I say and then look away. I don't know what to do since I wasn't good at making friends. The only two I had chose to bang behind my back. Ugh I want to keep my thoughts away from them.
"The name is Adrien Morgan,yours!" He holds out his hand for me to shake.
I have nothing to do so I shake his hand anyway.
"Julian Olivarez,nice to meet you" I say. Turns out he has really soft hands,he must be some Prince or Royal.
Anyway, he looks godly,the things I could give to be him. I swear it should be illegal to be this fine.
Finally I retract my hands from his grasp and settle down legs criss-cross.
"Do you usually come down here,I haven't seen you before" Adrien asks
"Not really,it's my first time here. Why? Do you happen to be here a lot that you know who's frequent and who's not!?" I answer his question with one of my own.
"No,not really. I just happen to know the owner and he usually only let's invites only to his island and beach resorts. So that's why I was wondering how there are usually few faces here and I've never seen yours" Adrien says thoughtfully.
Now that I look back,it's a weekend and there's no soul at this beach except me and Adrien here. Realization dawned onto me now that this is a private beach and I came uninvited. I could get charged for trespass oh my God what am I gonna do. I-
"Don't worry ,nobody's gonna harm you.At least with me here" he says with a smirk.
That somehow calms my mind that was turning upside down
I chuckle nervously and tell him how I ended up at that beach. I don't include the part where I had to call off my own wedding.
We talked for what seemed a few minutes but in reality hours. Soon it was dawn,the exhaustion hit me like a truck. I ended up dozing off on the strangers shoulders.
