Riverbank

14

When I woke up I was in bed and River had her leg wrapped around mine and her head on my chest we had spent the night talking about all of the things that happened in our heads.
" hey "
I whispered as I touched her shoulder lightly
" do you want to see if you can surf today "
" Sure "
She said without opening her eyes and after a few moments she said
" wait no I can't with stitches salt water would hurt so bad I mean you just have scrapes that are scabbed over so "
" oh "
" you and the guys can go do you think Kie would want to hang out with me "
I grabbed my phone and sent Kie a text and asked if she would like to hang out with River when I and the guys go surfing because River can't go in the ocean with stitches
" ok I sent her a message "
" thank you "
We just took in the moment till my phone buzzed
" What did she say "
River looked up at me and I looked at my phone and read it out
" umm let me yes I'll be there about 10 "
" What time is it now "
" 8 almost 9 "
" Can we just stay here "
" I wish but I guess we should get up and eat something "
Her stomach growled
" I guess you're right "
She laughed a little and we started to get up.

When the waves were starting to die down pope said
" what do you think the girls are doing "
" well if I know Kie she's boring River with global warming issues "
John B said
" I wish that Sarah would have been able to hang out with them I mean she hasn't gotten to know River '
He added
" god now I feel like I need to know what they are doing come on let's go the swells going anyway "
Pope said he must have been able to read my thoughts because I was hoping that we could go back but I didn't want to say anything and sound like I'm obsessed with her. John B parked and we jumped out
" girls were back "
He called as we walked up to the house and we didn't see them inside. We looked around inside and then we looked outside and then I saw them. They were on the dock
" found them "
I said and started to walk over and when I got to the doc I saw all different colored turtles pained on the wood slats and I couldn't help but smile
" Riv Kie what "
They both looked at me and smiled and we careful walked till we meet in the middle
" who's idea was this "
" well Kie found the paint and I wanted to be in the sun "
" so it was a joint idea "
Kie said and they both started to laugh
" But anyway do you guys like them I mean we can't quite take them off now "
" yeah yeah I love it it's so colorful and different "
" Yeah "
River said as she looked at them
" oh my Kie we should name some of them "
" or we could pick a turtle for each of us "
" oh my god yes "
I couldn't help but smile as they ran back to the end of the doc where they left the paint and they carefully picked a turtle for Kie, Sarah, pope, John B, River, and myself and they painted our names next to the corresponding turtle. By the end of the night, we all had paint on us from a paint fight we had because a paint brush got knocked and splattered paint on pope.
