memories.

"Sky! Waves!"
I have my back to the ocean and a wave crashes
against my legs, destabilising me. I regain my footing and attempt to move before
the retreating water sucks my feet into the sand. At that moment a larger wave
wipes me completely, dragging my body underwater. I panic at the confusion of
being pushed and pulled out of my control, seawater swirling hair into my face
and the bubbles rushing into my ears. The shell remains tightly gripped in my
hand.

As water draws away, I push my head free. Dylan
stands on the edge of the shore, water lapping his ankles, laughing. I spit out sea
water and stagger to my feet. The weight of the damp hoodie threatens to pull
me down again as I push hair from my eyes.

"That was fucking funny! You should see your
face!" He wades towards me, arm outstretched to help.

Attempting to keep my footing, I lunge at him
and slap his hard chest with both palms. "It was not! Screw you!” Dylan catches
my arms as I make contact, and pulls me towards him.

my arms as I make contact, and pulls me towards him.
Scrutinizing my face briefly, Dylan takes my
cheeks in his broad palms and crushes his lips against mine. I gasp again, but it's
not the sea snatching my breath this time. A new wave sways us, and Dylan holds
my face tightly, his own footing steady as his mouth claims mine. A small voice
in my head asks what the hell I’m doing but I ignore it - Dylan overwhelms all
common sense the moment I have any physical contact with him. Losing myself
in his mint-flavoured kiss, in the slide of his cool tongue, I yield to the power he
holds over me. Dylan curls his fingers into my wet hair and pulls me closer; I
respond with a deep kiss, tracing fingers across his stubbled cheek.

Fierce or gentle, his kisses mould my soul to his
as perfectly as his body shapes with mine, as if we’re in a place created by our
coming together. Kissing Dylan last night pulled me into his orbit, and when I
see stars again, I swear his kisses will always take me to the edge of his galaxy. If
Dylan can remove me from reality with just this, god knows what anything else
he's skilful at would do to me. The thought of us skin on skin, united through
more than a kiss, lights a fire deep inside that would take more than the cold
Cornish sea to extinguish.

Dylan loosens his grip on my hair and slides his
hands across my damp back. He closes the final gap between us as our bodies
meet, and I wish the rain-soaked clothes weren’t in the way. “I have never met
anyone so…” He grasps for a word then gives up and rests his forehead on mine.
“I feel as if I’ve waited my whole life to meet you and then suddenly you’re
here.”

For a moment I consider whether he’s teasing

I stare at the truth reflected in his pale blue eyes,
unable to believe any of this is reality. His grip on my back loosens, and I step
back. Rain drips down his face, soaking through his T-shirt and clinging to his
body in a way that does nothing to help my mounting desire to get my hands on
him.

A subject change is needed rapidly, before I begin drooling.
