1. Our prime lover days
The shore bay sounds drifted and swayed as the water reached the edge of our sand castle. Toshi laughed and set a wide grin on his face. We paced the shoreside, and our little feet prints left marks that were soon to be coated away.
“El! Move!” He giggled. He lightly shuved me away as a big wave crashed upon where i was before.
“That was close.” He’d always been a little protective of me ever since the first week we met, when our mothers bumped into each other on the miami board walk. Ever since then its asthough ive had a baby brother, I think.
Im not sure what i think about him. Hes a great friend! And hes supper supportave. And makes sand castles with me, or sand turtles! And even gives me his food when im still hungry! Thats what a real friend would do-afterall. Right?
His cheeks plump up to a pink ish shade. And he smiled. His dimples showed and his white teeth crease the edge of his mouth. Thats when i knew. He wasnt my little brother. He was my future husband.
OR-so I thought,When I was 8 years old. But now that im a grown, mature woman, I for sure know that hes not my future husband. Instead, hes my future boyfriend. This summer, summer of 2025 I will for-sure suduce him into liking me. I hope. This is my time to shine. My spotlight. My year. I know this because- well..I know this because i do.
Toshi is grown. Hes 19 in a week, and im just going to be left behind at 18. The last time we met was last September, and he was cold. His voice was deep. His temper was kept. His face was set to a relaxed point of view screaming “i dont give a fuck about you” and I am the exact opposite. I guess he just grew up, but it still makes me shiver imagining what our first conversation will be like.
