New Girl In Town
Last Part
Plain colouring mats had been laid on the artificial sand. Food and beverages were exposed openly on the mats and a mini radio was switched on to fill the silence with a heartwarming music. It was a perfect day as the weather was clear and the refreshing sea was at its normal tide. Fortunately, there were very few people celebrating. The friends had set up a picnic by the beach in a non-famous area. All the girls were changing to beach attires at the nearby washroom while the boys, wearing only Bermudas, showed off one another's masculine body at the picnic site.
Ryuuziq and Aeonex kept looking at the washroom area to and fro. It seemed that they might be thinking into getting trouble or so. Aeonex then gave a grinned question, "Hey Ryuu, are you thinking what I'm thinking?". Ryuuziq smiled widely and nodded really fast. Eavesdropping the conversation, Zahn and Mal thought really hard about what could happen. They was then shocked that the ones they loved, Leah and Tiqi, were changing as well. Before Aeonex and Ryuuziq could even make a move, the other two blocked their way with fiery looks.
"What I meant was..Oh man, we need to take a piss", Aeonex gave a false excuse, gulping down his throat.
Five minutes later, the boys were helping themselves with the huge amounts of food, facing towards the sea, when the girls arrived in plain shirts and shorts. Zahn was trying to swallow down a piece of strawberry cream cake when Leah interrupted in a surprising manner. She stood behind him, bowed down and asked, "How's the cake? I baked it myself".
Zahn turned his head to the right, and accidentally realized that her shirt was a bit loose at the upper section. He replied with wide eyes, "It's..very..beautiful..I mean it's delicious..The cake is delicious". He avoided from the wonderful sight in just a second, not wanting to think further. Leah was relaxed by his comments. Aeonex too was relaxed due to the fact that Rinoa was the only girl wearing a tube top. Running towards her, he shouted with a drool, "Rinooaa, embrace me into your..!". Without any hesitation and still with a happy face, Rinoa knocked his head into the sand. Ryuuziq was the most odd one in the group as he had no partner to play with. But he still cheered on his friends for support, taking pictures of them in any sneaky moment as possible.
The friends had just got their stomaches full and Tiqi stood from all the rest, holding a ball. She suggested, "Who wants to play volleyball?!".
Everyone agreed enthusiastically. Mal found an unused volleyball court and called the rest. It seemed that he was very eager to play and most likely to show some of his sports skills. Everyone was then divided into two teams. The first team was made up of Mal, Tiqi and Rinoa while Zahn, Aeonex and Leah was on the other team. As for Ryuuziq, he elected himself as the referee because he always wanted to blow the whistle.
"Phweet", was the blow of the whistle. The game had started, with Zahn's team to serve first. He took aim and served it with a spin. The ball rotated its direction through the air and Tiqi was able to hit it back, passing it to Mal with a volley. Mal hopped and smashed it to the opposite side but Leah managed to prevent it. She passed it to Aeonex high above the net as Aeonex prepared to leap. Rinoa knew he was going to score, so she made a dirty trick before he could smack. "Aaah..Aeonex, I feel so hot", aroused Rinoa while purposely wiping her sweaty shirt downwards.
Aeonex took a glimpse of it and blood instantly drip from his nose, losing his balance before leaping. The ball then fell to Zahn's side of the court. Ryuuziq then confirmed, "Mal's team leading, 1-0!!". Zahn could not even imagine that such a trick could make Aeonex lose control while Leah giggled.
The game took about an hour to finish. Eventually, Mal's team won 15-5 because Aeonex kept falling for the same trick over and over again. Everyone then went back to their picnic site in exhaustion, only wanting to sit and relax after that. The sun then began to set as it was going to be evening soon. Leah then voiced out, "I'll be in the washroom if you guys need me".
The rest, except for Zahn, were acting very suspicious as she headed further on. Ryuuziq was the first to speak up about the issue, "Zahn. I think it's time for you to confess to Leah".
Zahn looked surprise for a bit.
Mal then seconded, "Don't act blur. We all know that you like her. Just go straight to her and tell her the truth".
Zahn did not know what to do at the moment. He felt that he wasn't ready. However, Aeonex and Ryuuziq helped him with force. "1,..2,...3..Charge!", ordered Aeonex. Both of them quickly got on their feet and dragged him towards outside the washroom. Leah was already out of the washroom, drying her hands. When Leah saw Zahn, Aeonex and Ryuuziq pushed him towards Leah, making him almost hugged her.
Both of them then hid behind the bushes where the rest already were. Everyone was quite a busybody. Zahn and Leah were blushing in deep red due to the small crash. He then spoke up, "So-sorry about that. Actually, I..I have something..to..to..say to..y-you".
Leah then led her ears heard loud and clear, feeling a rush of adrenaline at the same time. She locked on to his eyes, waiting for him to say what she had been wanting to hear.
Zahn closed his eyes for a moment and let his mind clear. He then reached for her hands and gave a cool facade. He continued slowly without stammering, "From the beginning I met you, I have been pondering over you in my vision and dreaming of you in my sleep. I can't forget about you everyday. And therefore all I really want to say is..I love you".
Leah's heart thumped really fast, hearing the word. She became speechless in love for a second. Zahn then awaited for her reply. But before he could open his mouth again, she laid a finger on his mouth and answered with a french kiss.
