Shane resurfaces, “I fucked that one up.” She says grabbing the board.

“It’s ok. Get back on, there’s always another one coming.” Harper steadies the board.

The next wave is quickly upon them and Shane is right on top of it. Her ride is short but well done. Harper body surfs the next wave to meet up with Shane.

“Nicely done. That was excellent!” Harper says standing shaking the water from her hair.

“Thank you.” Shane says standing, holding on to the board. “I think that’s it for me, I am exhausted.”

Harper smiles at her, “Good because I am turning into a prune.”

The girls get out of the water and collapse onto their towels.

“Thank you so much!” Shane’s voice is full of excitement.

“You are more then welcome. I’m glad you came today. It’s been a lot of fun.” Harper turns to look at Shane.

Shane’s eyes open wide, “Holy *****, your forehead is bleeding.”

“What?” Harper raises her hand to her head and wipes it. She looks at her fingers and sees blood. “*****, guess the fin got me better then I thought.”

“I’m so sorry, it’s my fault.” Shane is mortified that she hurt her.

“It’s no big deal. I’ve got some stuff in my car. I’ll just go play doctor.”

“Let me help.” Shane gets up and goes with Harper.

Harper opens the back of her Blazer and digs around for her first aid kit. It’s hidden in a milk crate filled with various camping supplies.

“Here we go.” She says finding the kit.

“Have a seat, I’m playing doctor.” Shane smiles at her.

“Oh wait, first…” Harper pulls out a gallon jug filled with water. “Let me rinse off.” She empties the jug of water over her head and body. Shane tries to avert her eyes because the site of this is too much for her. When she’s done she quickly dries off her hair and face with a clean towel. “Ok.” She smiles at Shane and sits on the tailgate.

Shane leans in closer to inspect her wound. Harper can’t help but notice that Shane is standing between her spread legs. It would be so easy, so nice, to wrap her legs around the girls waist and pull her in to a kiss. Her body is heating up being so close to Shane. Shane’s face is only inches away from her own. Her eyes so intent on their inspection. Her hands tentatively reach up, Harper could swear they are trembling slightly.
