Toby and Krista had reunited after 12 years. Life had taken them on different paths. Krista had gotten married and had a child and tommy... well toby was always the slow 1 although he did meet someone and got engaged to her, when tommy and krista had started talking again, it was like just yesterday when she had blocked him out of her life. She hadn't blocked him from a fight or anything it was because she did not trust her self with him in her life.
It was always going to happen. They would meet and it was just like years ago, she would do what feels right for her self and he would follow along through fear of missing out of experiences. He loved life, especially in the summer time even though he hated being alive. He is one of those guys that can't turn his brain off even though he is very fair and level headed, he hasn't the confidence a person needs to go on auto pilot.
For at least 2 years of talking and feeling hurt and let down. It was all from her avoiding him, clearly obvious to him, it all came to a head when on a hot summers day, he had been asking her to come see him for weeks. It didn't need to be long. He had gone out of his way to be there for her to come and meet up, maybe even a short convocation, he would then leave after giving her a christmas present.
It was that afternoon. He had worked himself all up. Mixed feelings of excitement and nerves.
Crunch time. She messages through, she sounds like she is about to come. Then the obvious lies start. Rolling through via SMS.
He didn't hesitate, expecting this would happen anyway. Krista had just let him down too many times.
Knowing her reaction would not meet up with the relationship the 2 have, he just doesnt tell her his actual thoughts.
He had lost confidence in himself and no longer understanding their relationship and too cranking to say much more, christmas eve he just told her. He doesn't know how to converse with her now. This leaves room in the future if he feels like working it out.
The holiday season come and went. They had both gone back to work and had been weeks since he had even thought of her. Although she will never admit it, it was tearing her up that its her fault he was not talking to her.
Another week came and went. Krista was torn between her head and her heart. Head was to continue on with her husband and family. Although she didn't want to leave her family her heart was telling her to try and fix things up between tommy and her.
She knew it wasn't right but he has always been her secret, something personal for her to have, no one else knew about him and he was also there for her to get what she needed.
Krista didn't care that what she was doing was toxic to him nor did she care about what he needed from the relationship. At least she didn't come off that she did to him.
Finially krista decided to talk. she didn't like the thought of him being angry at her even though he was more then she knew. He just couldn't seem to move on from her.
They spoke off and on for a few weeks further. He had organised for a couple days off for his own mental rehabilitation. He had asked her to find some time for him. To meet him on the thursday. she had to find someone to look after her son and understood that. Although with her track record of avoiding seeing him his bet was it wouldn't happen.
He asked her to meet him at a look out, he outlined there was a hike that leads to a beach that he wanted to check out.
Krista knew if she let him down again she would never hear from him again. She knew this because his tone had changed from the encounter at christmas time.
Turning up to the Look out Krista found parking easy right next to Tommy. Both very nervous to see each other, it had been such a long time. Perhaps years.
Tommy got out and headed over to her car to see her, taking in the 1st look of her sitting in the drivers seat, short white dress trying to cover those long legs planted in her seat, the front of the dress lined with buttons holding together a slit that outlined her braless boobs. Krista leaned forward and hugged the steering wheel, as tommy tried to swallow the lump in his throat.
Krista's face has always been easy to read, her nerves were really showing with her top lip quivering and slightly glazed eyes. Tommy liked these emotions on her because this is something she can not hide, raw and true.
Krista reached into the back seat and grabbed her beach bag, as she reached her legs opened under that short dress, tommy paused, not wanting to move incase his movement took away this moment, even though it was fleeting.
The look out was down south, in the area she enjoyed to visit. Having not been there in quite a while but also having no idea that this was the start of a large hiking trail that can take 2 days. He explained this too her as they walked. Almost like an area guide.
They looked out over the tremendous flat light blue ocean. It seemed so far down. The vegetation surrounding them was very much like a tropical rain forest. The forest just drops off then there is the ocean, with only a sheer vertical cliff line separating the 2. Hard to believe there is areas like these and technically they were still in one of the largest cities of Australia.
Krista had known Tommy for years, she knew how he finds these spots. He has a heart thats hard to tie down, adventurous is the best word. He loved exploring. Very much like her EX husband. She met him and was attracted to the fact he was so much like Tommy.
Krista followed Tommys guide down the track which snaked its way through the rain forest, the scenery didn't make it feel like the 1.8Km hike it actually is.
Arriving at the bottom, they were faced with a small beach, only 100m from edge to edge, lined with clean white sands. Tommy explained that this beach is known for rough surf, Krista looked up taking in the gentle roll of the ocean today.
With only the 2 other people on the beach all the way down the other end of the beach Krista felt confident to change into her swimmers with out hiding away. Even though Tommy was there she liked the thought of him looking at her, even though she asked him to look away.
Tommy proceeded to remove his clothes and explained its a nudest beach, Krista looked down to see all tommy had, suddenly the nerves come back. She was enjoying tommy looking at her and perhaps taking a cheeky touch or feel all the way down the steep track but to just lay here in the sun... Noooo. Krista and Tommy had spoken about going to these beaches but not done it.
Krista put her dress back over her shoulders and covered herself up. Tommy explained that it's clothing Optional and she is welcome to wear what ever she feels comfortable. Tommy had been looking forward to the naked part, especially in front of Krista, it had been in many fantasies of his, especially in public.
