my fiancé and I meant so little to them both that they couldn’t keep
their hands off each other. They ripped my heart out, I hated them.”
    “Is
that why you moved to San Diego” he asked putting his bottle down and holding
his hand up to let the waitress know we needed more drinks.
    “I
had to do something. I had believed we were going to make it, I thought we
would get stronger once our exams were over and we started planning our
wedding. When he left me I was so low and so down on myself, if I hadn’t moved
away I don’t know what I would have ended up doing.” He held onto my hand. I
liked it. I liked him, more and more as the night went on.
    “I
can kind of understand where you’re coming from.” He said and we thanked the
waitress as she put our drinks on the table. He took a swig and continued. “I
was meant to be here with my girlfriend, Rachael, she left me a couple of days
ago. We hadn’t been in love with each other for a while. She wanted more than I
could give her, more than I was willing to sacrifice.” He stopped.
    “I’m
listening” I smiled at him. He continued.
    “Kyle
and I set up business young, we didn’t want or know how to do anything else but
make and build things. We struggled at first, neither of us were any good at
the business side but we’ve built something awesome together over years of hard
work. Last fall we started some renovation work for Brits dad. It was hard work
but it payed off, he loved it. To thank us he held a dinner party in his newly
refurbished place and invited loads of business acquaintances, people who were
looking to have work done, it was like a real live advertisement for our
company.  I took Rachael as my guest. She was overwhelmed by the money,
the luxury, it was like a switch in her flipped. She started wanting more,
demanding holidays, designer clothes, loads of expensive shit. She wanted me to
risk the company, take out loans in the hope that the people from the dinner
party would throw business our way. I wasn’t in it alone. I didn’t have the
power to give her what she wanted. We became distant. We could hardly stand to
be in the same room until eventually she left me. Went off with an old rich guy.
That was it.”
    “We
have something in common,” I giggled. “shit exes!”
    “I’ll
drink to that” we raised our bottles and clinked them together. From then on we
were more relaxed and the conversation just seemed to flow. We didn’t realise
the time until the waitress started cleaning the table next to us. When I
looked around we were the only ones there. We giggled like children as we left.
He grabbed my hand again and walked me home. When we got back to the hut he
stood for a while looking at me.
    “What
are you and Amber doing tomorrow?” he asked
    “As
far as I know we have no plans, why?” I blushed again.
    “We
could take you out for the day, Kyle and me that is. If you’re not busy of
course.” He reached out his hand, a cheeky grin on his face.
    “Give
me your cell Ella.” I took my phone from my pocket and handed it to him. He put
his number into my contacts and gave me the phone back.
    “Text
me if you can come, goodnight Ella.” He stroked my cheek and left. I was
floating again. Amber was floating after her night with Kyle too. After
catching up we discussed tomorrow and decided a day out as a foursome would be
fantastic. I thought about calling Dan to arrange everything but then I
realised that it was almost 2am and he was probably asleep so I sent a quick
text to say we were available tomorrow. Just as I was about drift off my phone
pinged. It was Dan. It said:
      We’ll be there at 10am. Bring a swim suit.

    A
swim suit? Ok. We must be either doing a water based activity or they just want
to ogle us in swimwear. Either way, as long as he’s in swim wear too I’ll be
fine. I text back.
    Yes Sir! Full on wetsuit or tiny two piece?
    E xx
    My
phone pinged:
    You know I’m gonna go for option 2 every
time,
