chapter 8
After that shock I experienced, I had run out the house and all the way to the nearby beach. I'm surprised I still remember my way here, I guess it's a reflex. Heartbroken, memories flood me. Me and Goerge used to always come here. A memory blossoms in my mind.~flashback 2#~
"I'm so not gonna lose this time!" My arms ache my feet are numb, but I still power through the icy waves of the harsh sea. Goerge laughs, "Give up, you always lose!" He's already far ahead of me, and swims to the shore with ease. I'm gonna kick his ass this time. Seriously though, I'm so tired I'm at the doggy paddle stage. With the last ounce of energy, I swim towards the shore.
I reach it a fraction of a second before Goerge. "I WON!" I shriek and jump up and down with joy before sinking down on the floor, tired. Goerge whines, "That's not fair, a fish bit my butt!" This causes me to crack up. "I bet it's bright red under those hideous swimming shorts of yours." Goerge pretends to be hurt, "They are not hideous, and care to take a peek?" The look on his face is sly and I throw a pile of sand at him. "Ew, gross, red butt's! Not attractive" "How dare you call my butt un-attractive! It's nice and... err..." My lips curve into a smirk. "Now you've just made it awkward!" Goerge grins, "Things will never been awkward between us, I've known you for ten years!" It's so true, whenever I'm around Goerge, I feel at ease. We can read each others minds!
My eyes wander over his bronze, toned chest with cute muscles. My eyes meet with his malachite-green eyes. Why would he pick me out of all of the ques of girls waiting for him? "I know I'm attractive but... You don't have to open your mouth like that..." I yank his light brown hair, laughing. "Don't get arrogant on me!"
We talk for hours and soon he produces a tiny, crimson box. "Katherine..." His voice is serious and his gaze is intense, I feel like I'm about to melt. "Goerge..." I mimic his husky tone of voice. "I'll get you for that!" He smiles shyly before opening the box. Inside it is a gleaming wedding ring, plain and silver with a single pearl attached. That's when I realised how much I loved him, how much he was all my world!"
~Flashback ended~
Tears prick in my eyes, I could never love Richard as much as I love Goerge. Even now. No matter how hard I try.
