“How about we watch the sunset then?”

“We have to get the boards back before then. We could watch it down there though.” Harper tries to offer a win-win solution.

Shane takes a moment to respond as her mind instantly thinks of a plan, “Ok.” She says with a grin.

Harper gives her the ‘your up to something’ look but says nothing.

When they make it to Santa Monica Harper does her sales pitch to the owner of the rental shop. She explains that once it’s warm again she will be renting from him once or twice a month. As they talk about making a deal Shane excuses herself and disappears from sight. Within minutes Harper is done with her business and wondering where Shane has slipped off to. She busies herself digging out warmer clothes from her car. As she is slipping out of her shorts from under the towel she has wrapped around her waist she hears a catcall come from behind her. Luckily when she looks over her shoulder it is Shane who is sauntering toward her with a large shopping bag in her arms.

“Hey Foxy!” Shane says arriving to the side of the car Harper is changing on.

“Hey yourself! What have you got there?” Harper slides her jeans on.

“Just a little something for our adventure.”

Harper tosses her towel in the back of the Blazer and grabs her sweatshirt and one for Shane. “Let’s go.”

Harper follows Shane as she leads them to the perfect place on the beach away from all other occupants. When Shane finds the ideal place she lays out the blanket on the sand and beckons Harper to join her. She gives her a look from under her shaggy beach hair bangs and begins to pull her goodies from her brown bag. The first item revealed is a bottle of wine, complete with two plastic cups. Next comes cheese and crackers. Followed lastly by a bunch of grapes.

“Very nice.” Harper leans in and placing a hand on either side of Shane’s face pulls her in for a long lingering kiss. It had been hours since their lips made contact and the desire they both had was very evident in the kiss.
