Beach Day

This was certainly different for Ai, she didn't go to the beach. It was so different from what she liked to do but she found herself enjoying the experience because she was with Talion. His simple presence calmed her nerves and was the biggest reason she enjoying her time on the beach. She was even wearing swim wear. True it wasn't the revealing stuff other women wore but it was what she was comfortable with as she stayed close to Talion.

Though while she was close to Talion she didn't feel right touching him right now. It just didn't feel right to her, though Talion had been helping her with her social anxieties. It made her smile as she began to lower herself down onto the towel Talion had brought for them when Talion spoke up it made her blush and cover her midriff slightly. Her sports bra esq top and tight fitting swim trunks did cover most of her but it wasn't her thick wool sweaters. "T-thank y-you. If... if it wasn't for you I would probably be at home not doing a-anything."

Smiling at Talion she reached over and touched his hand. "Really... thank you. I... I wouldn't have the courage to do this myself if you hadn't been helping me." She really did like being around Talion. He had been so nice her and she didn't know how else to thank him than by spending time with him.

Ai blushed when Talion said he couldn't think of himself here with anyone else. Did he mean that he wanted to be her boyfriend now? But they hadn't gone on any dates so she didn't think that. She also didn't know if he liked her like that. True he kissed her that one time but she did not know if that showed her that he cared for her in that way. She had read books where they would kiss once and apparantly it didn't even mean anything.

After a while Talion released her hand and pulled out some water bottles from a cooler and handed her one. Thanking him for it she opened the bottle and took a few sips as he explained that he had never seen the ocean before. But that he could still swim. However he then turned and asked her about if she swam. "Oh... um no. We didn't have... any standing bodies of water. Just wells that we could dig. So I... I don't know how to swim." She blushed this time.

He wanted to teach her to swim, for some reason that just seemed so... personal and it made Ai blush and become flustered. "Oh...ah... um... S-sure, I-i-if y-you want to..." Ai looked over to where the shallow pools Talion was talking about were located. They were just a bit further off and a little out of sight from the rest of the beach. The seclusion and the distance made Ai think that she might try to ask Talion what he thought of her away from prying eyes.

Ai took another sip of her water before also putting it back into the cooler with Talion's water. He had explained that he was from England which Ai remembered from her geography classes was an Island country off the coast of Europe. When Talion said that he would look at the sea she looked out there and though it was pretty she wouldn't call it beautiful. But she smiled shyly "I... I think the mountains in the Himalayas are... are prettier."

When Ai finished getting up she dusted her legs off and nodded that she was ready to go and followed Talion to the secluded rock pools blushing the entire way. Once there she stepped into the water carefully and looked over to Talion curiously. "I wasn't expecting the water to be... quite so... cold, not as warm as a bath." It was all so different for Ai, She put here hands into the water which was up to mid thigh on her as she splashed around a bit giggling. The cold water wasn't so cold to her being use to the temperatures that would be gotten to up in the mountains.

When Talion and her began to splash each other playfully Ai giggled a little more. Until Talion said that she had a cute laugh and it caused her to cover her face with her hands as she blushed. "Stop t-teasing me." She heard him also coming which just made her blush a little bit harder. Talion put one of his hands on her shoulder. Even though she was normally shy she was blushing this time because she felt her heart speeding up. She really liked Talion and having him this close made her feel very excited. "O-okay... I-I'll try."

Balance was never a real problem for Ai, so being able to float on her back should be easy right? As Ai began to lay back she felt herself looking at Talion trying not to think about what she was doing. When she was part of the way backwards into the water she could feel herself begin to panic with the feeling of trying to float. As that feeling began to raise more her hand went out and grabbed onto Talions arm. "Am... am I doing o-okay?"

She could still feel her heart pounding harder as she finally got onto her back. The slightly cold water was hugging her body while she was blushing and looking up at Talion. In this position with Talion standing over her the whole thing made her begin to turn beat red. Her Thoughts were turning towards imaginging Talion kissing her while she was on her back like this... and more.

Each time Talion complimented her Ai blushed a little bit more. When he held her hand she was afraid of how crimson her face had gotten. But things were going okay and she was not panicking while she lay on her back in the water. This whole situation was starting to make Ai think some really not meant to be shared with polite company thoughts. But as she looked into Talion's eyes he began to lower himelf closer to her and Ai could feel her heart begin to race.

As his lips touched her Talion put an arm around her back, while Ai's hands went up and around and meet behind Talion's back pulling herself out of the water and deeper into the passionate kiss they were now engaged in. Ai couldn't help herself and she began to pull Talion closer to her as she felt like she needed to have him closer to her. Ai would catch her breath whenever their lips broke but it was only to allow them to continue kissing more. She didn't know what to think at that point, this pretty much confirmed for her that Talion had feelings for her and she for him. There was no going back from this now.
