I've got a secret.”
“ Really?” I was intrigued. “And what would that be?”
“ I’ve got the cheat code.” Ethan announced.
“ The cheat code to what?”
“ Unlimited continues.” He divulged.
“ Well what fun would that be?” I countered. “What would be the point?”
“ To see how it all ends.” Stated Ethan.
“ Life isn’t a movie. We weren’t meant to see the end credits. Only the good parts, some of the bad and a little in-between, but never the whole thing.”
“ For you maybe.” He conceded. “But I wanna see it all.”
“ Never take life too seriously, Ethan. Nobody gets out alive anyways.”
He sat back before he spoke again. “You wanna take a walk with me, Madison Amber Rose?”
“ Why, I’d love to Ethan Blackwood.”
He stood to his feet rather quickly, faster than I could have anticipated, not from that crazy, yoga Indian style he was resting in, yet he was already on his feet, hand outstretched to help me up.
When our fingers touched, it was like electricity, a tingling sensation across my entire body. It felt as if my whole body was alive, like I was alive.
He was tall. Almost six feet and he towered over me, but in a good way. Ethan went to release my hand, but I didn’t let go, interlocking our fingers instead. He my think he has unlimited continues but the rest of us don’t. The rest of us didn't have time to wait for the world, the rest of the world needed to wait for us.
Abigail was splashing Aiden in the face with water until, from what I can tell, Aiden got pissed, picked her up over his head and dunked her. Then he started to dance like the zombies from the Michael Jacksons Thriller video.
Sigh...I can’t take them anywhere!
“ Hey!” I yelled. Neither of them noticed. “Aiden!” Is that the moonwalk he’s doing now?
“ Don’t worry, I got it.” Ethan laughed. “AIDEN!”
I jumped, slightly startled at how loud he could yell. Aiden looked over in our direction and Ethan flagged him over.
Abigail hopped on Aiden’s back as he jogged over to us while she smacked him continuously on his rear. “What’s up?” He struggled, clearly out of breath.
“ I’m gonna talk a walk with Ethan here, just wanted to let you know.”
Abigail climbed down off Aiden’s back and gave Ethan a once over, examining him from head to toe.
“ Only if that’s okay.” Ethan added in, sensing her immediate displeasure.
Abby wasn’t buying it. “Walk? Walk where?”
Ethan looked at me. I looked at him. “Uh...that way?” He said, pointing down the beach.
She gave him the once over again. “And what’s down there that isn’t up here?”
“ Ice cream?” I chimed in, trying to win her over to the idea.
“ Yes. Right.” Ethan hurriedly agreed. “Double chocolate scoop ice cream.”
“ Ooh really?” I exclaimed happily. “I didn’t know that.”
Abigail gave me the evil eye.
“ You’re not helping.” Ethan whispered.
“ Oops. My bad.”
“ Look here Mr., what’s your name again?” Abigail demanded.
“ Ethan.”
“ Uh, last name.” Abigail can be very bulletin point at times.
“ Blackwood. Ma’am.”
“ Don’t be a smart ass! I.D.? License? Let’s see it!”
“ Uh...” Ethan began patting down the pockets of his cargo shorts, checking for his wallet.
Abigail started snapping her fingers incessantly. “Come on let’s go, let’s go!”
Ethan found his wallet in one of the many side cargo pockets he had. He pulled out his license so she could see it.
Abigail held out her hand as Aiden produced a small, clear plastic box shaped camera from his pocket, slamming it down in Abigail’s open palm.
“ Waterproof!” She exclaimed, before snapping a picture of Ethan’s I.D. card with the camera. “Look here, Mr. Ethan Blackwood. If anything happens to my girl, I will hunt you down and murder you in your sleep. Do you understand me?
“ Uh, yes Ma’am.”
I think he might be slightly scared of her.
“ Dude, she is
