Sandy and Tammy could still hear the faint strains of the guitars on the beach as a few of their friends were butchering the Ventures' "Walk don't Run." They had done a decent job with "Pipeline," but somehow without the beat of the drum driving the rhythm, they just weren't making it happen.
"Do you think they know anything else or will they keep killing that song?" Tammy asked.
"Yeah, it's a real guitar freakout. Actually I'm kind of glad they only know those two songs, I'd hate to see them destroy something really good like the Beach Boys or something."
"Or a Paul Revere and the Raiders," Tammy replied.
"Oh you're just nuts about Mark Lindsay."
"What about Fang?"
"Oh come on Tammy, Fang just plays guitar, and I've see you drooling over Mark," Sandy said.
"Yeah, he is dreamy, but guys aren't like that, that's why..." she didn't finish.
Sitting down next to her friend, Sandy put her arm around Tammy. She wanted to finish what she had said, but didn't want to make things uncomfortable. They had seemed to be drawn closer and closer together as they watched their friends pair up into couples as they started dating. Now, after wandering away from the group on the beach, they found themselves alone in one of the beach shacks the surfers often used.
Turning her head a bit, Sandy kissed Tammy on the cheek and as her friend slowly turned her head too, they kissed, lightly at first, but then Sandy slipped her tongue into Tammy's mouth. They had kissed before, but they were quick kisses stolen in the moments their other friends were looking away. Now, they just kissed, both frightened, but excited.
