Christian
I was sitting in my kitchen drinking my second cup of coffee when a knock came at the door. The quick rapping followed by fingertips tapping told me exactly who it was. I smiled when I threw open the door and saw Todd standing there. He was clad in his wetsuit and holding his surfboard, and he was ready to get out for the morning.
“You comin’ or what?” he asked.
“Didn’t know we had plans,” I said. “I’m still drinking my coffee.”
“The waves are awesome today. Chug it, get changed, and let’s go,” he said.
“I could use a day out,” I said. “Give me 15 minutes.”
I went back to the kitchen and downed the rest of my coffee before I took the stairs two by two. It would be nice to get out with Todd, especially with everything that had been traversing since the last time I saw him. I didn’t know if I wanted to really tell him what was going on, but I knew I wanted a bit of his advice.
You know, to see where his head would be at with this whole thing brewing between Stella and me.
“Come on, Christian! Let’s go!” Todd yelled up the stairs.
“Don’t get your wetsuit up your ass crack; I’m coming,” I said.
I grabbed a towel before I locked the door behind me, and I headed to the garage to get my board. Todd’s car was the only one we could take to the beach because it had space in the back to haul our boards, so I was always the one to fill up his gas tank. We pulled into a station, and I filled his tank up to the brim, then we were headed to the beach.
“So, how you been since I last saw you? The company must be keeping you busy. I haven’t seen you around too much,” he said.
“Yeah, it’s been a whirlwind,” I said. “Lots of things to learn and get under control. It’s been a big help having Stella around, though.”
“I know, I’m just full of good ideas,” Todd said, smirking. “You two playing any nicer?”
“I don’t think she’s trying to take the company away from me, if that’s what you’re asking,” I said.
“Well, that’s a good start. When did she drop that idea?” he asked.
Probably when I fucked her in my bed.
“I’ve been helping her work on her public speaking. You know, like my mom used to. I think she saw the value I had to offer and the fact that I could teach her some things. She really backed off after that,” I said.
“Oh, shit. You pulled that park shit with her? I’m surprised she even went for it.”
“Oh, trust me. She wasn’t happy in the beginning. But, I told her it would help, and she trusted me for the first time in her life, probably, and it went over well,” I said.
“Well, good for you. I’m glad things are working out,” he said.
We rode in silence until we got to the beach. We parked the car and surveyed the waves for a while, trying to pick out the best place to enter the ocean.
“It’s not c
rowded for a good surfing day,” I said.
“People are still at church right now,” he said.
“People around here don’t go to church,” I said.
“Then they’re still sleeping. I don’t know. The point is, it’s prime time surfing, and the beach is clear. Doesn’t get any better than this,” he said.
“Then what the hell are we sitting here for?” I asked.
“Because you apparently want to watch the water without getting into it,” he said.
We grabbed our boards and headed down to the beach. The sand between my toes felt like silk, and I couldn’t help but think back to the way Stella’s body felt against mine. The sand molded to my feet the way her body melded to my thrusts, and I breathed in a sharp sigh of relief when the ice cold ocean water hit us. The last thing I needed was a raging erection in front of my best friend while we tried to surf.
