We sat there listening to the waves while we lounged about on chairs. The beach lulling the sun to sleep as we enjoyed the Caribbean sunset. I looked over at Audree, my newly acquainted friend. We met quite by accident as we found ourselves seated next to each other on the plane and struck up a conversation.
I found out her name was Audree Hunny, she was a Leo, age 26 years old and also some other unimportant stuff. She was really friendly and we were apparently staying at the same place at our destination so from then on we became inseparable.
Brent, some guy we met on the beach and his friends invited us to watch them build a bonfire while having some beers. I smiled up at Audree as she handed me a beer; 'Presidente' I believe it was called. I took a sip and watched the little green spark hit the sea as the last of the sun rays disappear. Darkness began to spill across the sky and the air became chilly. How I wished that I had brought my hoodie with me and why hadn't they started the bonfire yet. I stared at my bikini and pulled my beach wrap closer around me.
A small breeze blew, blowing my newly cut brown hair to and fro.
"Want a scrunchy?" Audree said holding out one to me.
"I always hold an extra just in case." she said pointing at her long mass of red flowing curls hooked up in a scrunchy.
I took the scrunchy and put my hair in an upwards messy bun.
"Thanks a mill, I owe you one."
I watched as Brent and his friends finally started the fire and more beers appeared. Brent's dog Princess, a beautiful Border collie, bounded over to me, tongue lolled out and making tiny woofing sounds. Such a cutie.

"We're gonna grill fish tonight," Brent shouted as he ran up to us. "Are you gonna join us?" he said as he stopped in front of our chairs and ruffled Princess's furry head.
"Sure, don't think I'm doing anything later." said Mae to Brent.
"Want another beer?" he said pointing to Mae's now empty bottle while holding on to Princess's collar.
"Maybe a little later Brent," Audree cut in.
"Mae and I are going back in the water for a last dip before we call it a night." she grabs unto Mae's hand and pulls her off the chair and towards the water's edge. Mae drops her beach wrap and follows Audree.
"We'll be back for the grilled fish later though, save us a plate."
"Oh, okay, see you later then," he waves to them before running back towards the direction of the bon fire and relaying their message.
They walked along the waters' edge and down to the pier making small talk along the way. Apparently Audree was a freelance photographer who was finishing her last year of Graphic Design and her minor was photography. She hoped to become a journalist or blogger or maybe just start her own business using her own photos as material.
They paused as they reached the end of the pier.
"Hey, Mae, I've wanted to tell you something since the first day we met but I never got the chance."
Mae looks up at her in interest, "What is it then?"
"May I kiss you?"
Mae stared at her in disbelief and Audree rushed on. "I mean I really like you and I'd like you to give me a try, seeing as you're single and all that.
Mae seems to contemplate before nodding, "Well, okay then, sure, go ahead."

Her face lights up and her eyes sparkle in excitement. She leaned forward and gently cupped my face in her hands and stared into my eyes before kissing me.
No, there was no fireworks, it was better than fireworks. As her soft lips touched mine a warmth crept slowly up my body and I shivered in awe. She pulled me into her arms and deepened the kiss and my body felt like it was on fire. Her tongue warm and gentle against mine, she smelt exotic and felt so soft. I moaned against her lips as she squeezed me tighter against her. Her soft full breasts pressing against my rather small ones. No one set me on fire the way her one kiss had. I opened my mouth a bit wider letting her explore my mouth with her tongue.
