Jenny leaned forward and watched intently as Emma paddled like hell to get on the biggest wave they'd seen in years. "Zac...she's fine..." Jen tried to calm him. "I've actually seen her take bigger waves than that." All five sets of eyes never left Emma's orange and black clad body as she stood on her baord and caught the rapidly growing, monstrous wave. The thing drwarfed her and Zac swore under his breath, sure that one day she'd wind up seriously hurt. Emma's whole body was electrified as she sped along on her board, riding that wave like it was part of her. She shifted her weight and rode the curve of the tube as water sprayed her and the wind rushed past her face. The only thing that compared to the feeling, was the way Zac made her feel when he made love to her. She was soaring. Her body moved with the flow of the water and she twisted suddenly, spinning the board slightly and noitcing she was no longer touching the wave. Emma twisted again, the board hit the water and then she slid along the wave for a few more seconds. Then, the thing turned on her and crashed over her, swallowing her up and sending her tumbling in the murky dark green water. She remebered not to panic and wait, not fighting the spinning, then felt the tug of her tether on her ankle, telling her which way was up. She fought her way to the surface and exploded out of the water, grabbed her tether and tugged, pulling her board next to her and draping her exhausted body over it, catching her breath. "Holy shit.." she breathed and then her face broke into a huge smile. "NO FUCKING WAY!!!" Jen exclaimed, exploding to her feet. "Check my girlfriend OUT!" she laughed. "Look at her go.." Taylor chuckled and stood with the rest of them to watch. "Dude...I can't believe she caught that one. AND I MISSED IT!" Jen complained as Tay put his arm around her shoulder. The rest watched in awe and Zac's nerves were fried as he waited for the inevitable wipe out that Emma was about to take. There was no other ending, considering she was hauling pretty fast, she looked like she was flying. "WOOOO FREAKIN HOOO!!!" Jenny yelled as Emma's board left the water, making the whole group laugh out loud. "She is catching some BIG AIR baby!! Damn her...freakin' show off.." she muttered trying to put Zac's poor nerves at ease, she could see the only thing he was thinking was how he was gonna drag her injured ass out of the water, though he was trying to be a good sport. "Oh shit...go Zac...she's gonna eat it right NOW.." Jen exclaimed as Emma disappeared under the crashing wave. "Make her come in and at least eat something." Jen told him as Zac scanned the water for Emma. "Where the FUCK is she?" he asked angrily. "Give her a couple more seonds, Zac. I'm sure she's okay...it was a nasty wipeout, she just needs to wait for the tug on her tether.." Jen soothed. Suddenly Emma's board popped out of the water and Zac took off, determined to drag her in and make her eat and rest. But his heart stopped in his chest when he still didn't see her come up out of the water and he ran faster, scanning every inch of rolling water. He breathed a sigh of relief when she finally came up, pulled her board to her and flopped over it, letting the waves push her closer to shore. She started to paddle in and saw him, then let out a huge victory cry, with a right smile on her soaked face. He wasn't sure if he should smile or grab her by her sexy neck and wring it for scaring the hell out of him like that. She paddled back in and met him at the water's edge. "Oh. MY. GOD!!! Baby did you see THAT?? Holy shit.." she was beaming from ear to ear and Zac couldn't help but smile at the sparkle in her eyes. "Yes. You scared the hell outta me.." he grinned and took her board so she could undo her tether. She pulled the hairtie from her braid and squeezed out her curls. "Scared you? I'm sorry baby.." she smiled an tiptoed up to kiss his cheek. "But it was sooooooo fucking worth it..." she grinned mischeviously. "I WAS ON FI-RE!!! WOOO!!!" she giggled. "HELL YEAH!!" she whooped again and he had to laugh. "Jen's up there whining that she missed the wave of the century.." he grinned. "Hah!" Emma laughed triumphantly. "That what she gets for wimping out on me.." she told him. "SHE'S STARVING...or she was anyway." he chuckled. "Never seen a woman scarf a sandwich like that. You need to eat something too..come on..." he told her, shoved her board under his arm and took her hand, showing her he was NOT taking no for an answer. He set her board down for her, hung her tether over the fin and flopped down on the blanket to watch her peel her wetsuit off. |
"YOU GO GIRLFRIEND!!!" Jenny yelled and high-fived her friend, as Zac gently set her board in the sand. "That was some BIG fucking AIR baby!" she giggled. "Too bad I didn't have a camera, I'd submit that sucker to Surfing magazine..you'd have sponsors all over your ass.." "No shit. What a RUSH!!" Emma replied, unzipping her wetsuit, her whole body lit and her eyes shining, still on a major high from the ride. "But you know I couldn't surf for money...it's all about the rush.." she said as she peeled the wetsuit from her body. Jenny put Emma in a headlock and whispered in her ear, "I know what kind of rush someone else is having.." she giggled and nodded toward Zac, who was busy changing position and digging in the cooler for Emma's lunch. "You perv.." Emma giggled back, then noticed that Zac was planning on stuffing her like a turkey. "Zac! That's way too much baby..I don't need all that." she told him and shoved Jenny playfully aside. "Just that bottle of water and maybe half a sandwich is good." she told him and stepped back to shake her wetsuit out and lay it on her surfboard. "Dammit Emma...you have to eat more than that.." Zac grumbled as she flopped down on the blanket next to him. "If I still feel hungry I will baby..you worry too much. Besides if I gain too much weight, I won't be getting as much modeling work as I need." she told him. "Gain too much.." he grouched. "Come on baby, just relax.." Emma soothed. "I'll probably get the inevitable craving for mexican food, then you can stuff it down me with a shovel." she chuckled, and took a bite of the sandwich he handed her. "See.." she said her mouth still full, "Eating..kay?" she looked at him innocently, making him laugh. "Okay." he told her, "Should I call Sanchez and warn them you're coming in?" he teased. "Hey...good idea, baby. Didn't know you were a genius, you sexy hunka drummer." she teased back, making the rest of the group groan and Zac grin. Emma finished the last bite of her sandwich and guzzled down the last of her water, then set the empty bottle in the sand. She looked at Zac, who was sitting with his knees drawn up to his chest and his arms around his knees, his hair hanging in thick, sun-streaked chunks around his face, as he doodled in the sand with a small twig. He felt her looking at him and grinned over at her. "What?" he asked, pitching the twig across the warm sand. She shook her head slightly and smiled, "Nothing. Just looking." she said softly. He put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her to him, kissing the top of her head. She leaned up and kissed his cheek. "I'd rather be touching.." she whispered in his ear and stroked his forearm, that was hanging over her shoulder. "Oh yeah?" he grinned down at her, then nuzzled her neck. "Mmm..hmm.." she purred and laid her head on his shoulder, planting a soft kiss on his neck. "Hey...don't get me started, Em." he warned softly, grinning widely. "Or what?" she batted her eyelashes innocently, then kissed his neck again. "Or this..." he told her and circled his arms around her waist, then pulled her roughly back on the blanket, making her squeal. "Zac.." she giggled as he leaned over her, pinning her wrists above her head. "Hey knock it off you perverts." Jen teased from her spot next to Taylor, sheilding her eyes from the sun. "It's broad daylight..." she said, knowing she was being completely ignored. She looked over at Tay, who was sprawled out on his belly, toes dug into the sand and his head resting on his forearms. He was facing her, and he smiled lazily through long, sand and salt spiked bangs. He moved one hand out from under his head to clasp it in hers, then both closed their eyes to relax in the sun, Ike and Kim doing much the same thing. |
