For whatever reason I couldn't sleep. Middle of the night but the beach called to me. I slipped on a light sundress, flip flops and went down to the water. The house we had for the summer was a block from the ocean, I didn't have far to go to get between the dunes and lay a towel down on the packed sand. There was only moonlight so I was wrapped in a cozy shadow. The noise of the waves gave me peace. I sat and stared out.
I don't know how long I was there but another girl came and asked to sit with me, I invited her to share my towel. We sat close and didn't talk, didn't feel the need. I felt almost drunk on the sound of the water lapping at the shore. We leaned into each other. The warm body next to me was a comfort.
The waves came in a steady succession, time passed without our notice. Somehow it came to pass the she was I were holding hands, the she was stroking my arm, we were laying next to each other on the towel. My hand stroked her long beautiful shiny dark hair. It felt like silk under my fingers. When I reached the tip I kept dragging my fingers down her body. Playing with the hem of her shorts and the touching her soft leg.
Her hand caressed my face, its thin delicate fingers lightly passing over my eyes, nose, cheek. then when her hand came to my mouth, I kissed the palm. Held it to my lips. Now we were facing each other, our noses touching. Our nipples hard and rubbing through the fabric against each other. I could feel her shallow light breathes on my face and was barely breathing myself.
