In summer I like to go for a run along the beach in the morning. There are a lot of nice beaches where I live, and I usually go to a different one each day.
One morning I went to a beach where I had never been before. It was a long beach, and seemed to be completely deserted. I ran for a while, and I was just thinking about turning back when I saw a girl lying on the sand. She was in a little hollow between some grassy banks, and I hadn't seen her until I was level with where she was.
She was lying on her tummy facing away from me. I could see that she was wearing a red and white bikini, and a large straw hat. Then as I watched, a gust of wind blew the hat off her head.
She gasped and sat up. She wasn't wearing the top to her bikini. The wind blew the hat down the beach, and I chased it and caught it.
It walked over to the girl. She saw me coming but made no attempt to cover her breasts. "This is yours, I believe," I said as I handed her the hat.
She reached out and took the hat. "Thank you," she said. "The wind caught me by surprise."
"Life is full of surprises," I said. "Like finding you here, for example. What are you doing all alone way out here?"
"I like the solitude," she said. "And sometimes a nice surprise comes along." Then she smiled at me and added, "I like surprises!"
She put the hat on the sand, reached into her bag and pulled out a tube of tanning lotion. "Here," she said handing me the tube, "Will you rub some of this on my back?"
