Slow Burn

He's the surf instructor teaching you the basics, and you've been getting better with every lesson. A big wave rolls in, and he gets you up onto it, shouting encouragement all the way.

At the Friday night party, his buddies press him about you 'cause why are you so special to him?

He can't quite put it into words, but he knows it: when he's with you, you're not just the cool girl he's teaching. He feels it in the way your lips part, your eyes blaze, and your heart hammers in your chest.

Down by the shore, you're helping rescue some baby sea turtles, and before long he's got you wrapped up in his arms, wetsuit and all. The pretence of instructor and student gone for good. He tells you the little back-and-forth between you isn't going to cut it anymore: he wants a real night with you, the two of you riding a very different kind of wave together.
