Chapter 9
~*~Punta Gorda~*~
Pulling into the beach’s parking lot."It looks deserted" she muttered, as she walked down, onto the sand. Taking off her sandals, she began to walk along the waters edge. T
his is a big mistake she realized. I’m not over Derek yet. I still can’t accept that my parents aren’t coming back. All of them dead. All because of me. I hope Nick knows what he’s getting into. I’m like a freakin serial killer.
"You look beautiful tonight" a voice came from behind her. She let out a yelp.
Turning around, she saw Nick smiling at her shyly. In spite of herself she smiled back. He’s so cute she found herself thinking.
Producing a rose from behind his back . Blushing she thanked him.
"So what do you wanna do?" she shrugged.
"I dunno. Have you eaten yet?" He nodded.
"Okay then lets go to a movie." He looked nervous still.
"What is it? What’s wrong?" she asked exasperated.
He bowed his head down and looked at the sand. "lets sit down. I gotta explain something to you."
She cocked her head to one side, as if trying to figure him out.
"Alright"
she nodded, and dropped down to the sand.
