Friendship Romance

"Its nice isnt it." Elodie said to me as she looked at me. I replied " it is and honestly there are few people I would like to see a sunrise with." Elodie and me were watching the summer sun rise over the ocean. Here we were, on a beach in the summer morning. As the sun was rising in the summer sky, something was off with her.

She looked over her shoulder and at me. "Rye....whats wrong." Elodie is someone who is special. She is a special type of girl. For starters she is French, speaks fluent French, Italian and English. In fact I think her french accent is her best feature.

She is also very beautiful and could get a job posing for some of the top clothing companies in the world. She also is a great skier, and surfer. Yet I often wonder what she sees in me? I am average looking.

I smiled at her. "Elodie.. you are amazing and special you know that right." She laughed.... "and your average, but you can probably surf better then me here and now." With that she ran towards the car and with that I soon followed. We got to the car and she then said. "don't drown on me today....I don't want to have to do mouth to mouth like that 1 time." " that wasn't me" I told her. "I know it wasnt rye but you were their so your a witness." I laughed "OK maybe I was but I didn't need to be saved." Elodie then said " just met me in the water. and with that she put on a wet suit and grabbed a surfboard and headed towards the beach. I soon followed.

The water was surprisingly warm today. So warm that it almost felt like I was in a dream. I met up with Elodie. she was sitting on her board. " well look who finally showed up....waves are OK today, not terrible but not great." I then sat on my board and studied the currents. Elodie was right. this was an ok day of waves. I took a few waves and rode a few. I rode the last one right to the beach. I sat on the beach and relaxed for a bit. Then elodie walked up to me and threw her surfboard in the sand. she then sat next to me. "You know what Rye... I like you very much, but my guess is you knew that already." she then put her arms around my shoulders. "I think I would like to kiss you here and now. " I then told her. "Well if that is how you feel, then by all means." with that she kissed me on the check and then she said "you taste very good, I think I want some more" with that she then pushed me down and with that my back was in the sand. "yah I think you like me." i said as she sat on my chest. "I want you to touch my ass....sil vous plait" (Ah she sounds so innocent and much like a kid when she speaks French) I put my hands up grabbed her ass and then she kissed my lips. It was a long kiss. One that may have lasted almost half a minute. It felt very good indeed. she then rolled over and sat next to me. "How did that feel here, pretty good?" I smiled and looked back at her. "I would say so."

I looked into her eyes. I was ready to ask her something. Something that I wanted to a while ago.

"Eldoie can I ask you something." she then looked at me. "go ahead and ask." " You are the most beautiful women I have spent time with. You could be in magazines and on the internet. Yet you chose to be with me. I guess I am asking why?" She then had a shocked reaction on her face. " Remember what I told you about Maria my old college friend." she is a prime example of what may happen. However She often says thank you to me for helping her get her life back on track.......look Rye what I am saying is that sometimes being on the top is a bad thing. Maria was on top for a while, she was one of the top models in the world and often she told me I could be on any magazine in the world. However I never felt that is what I wanted. I wanted to be a common person. but I guess you want to know why I chose you Rye?" Please do I would like to know." I replied.

"well its quite simple really" Elodie spoke. " That first day we met, I saw something in you. you had this strange mix of aggressive and confidence. That and you spoke about my French accent." I then cut in "speaking of accent, I am a bit shocked you still have your French one. you do a solid USA accent." Elodie then said a "Do I" in a USA accent. "That sounds much more like you" i said and she soon gigged.

" rye you are amazing, you are special and that is why I like spending time with you. Never forget that. " I smiled and replied with "Elodie I will try but you know I am not one to make promises beacuse I have a fear of not being able to keep them/

Elodie then looked at me and then the ocean. "What you say, one more wave today and she where we end up. The water look good" I replied with a sure lets do it.

we got that last wave and it was a fun one. Although I lost my balance and went into the water. I got back on my board and then swam to shore.

I sat on the sand and waited for Elodie to come. She soon did. "That was fun" she said "I think lets go again another time. What you think?" I looked at her. Sure I said "that is a good idea." With that she gave me a kiss.

With that the day was over. Another fun surf day was had.
