closer to the ocean, deep enough to get her wet, but not enough to drown both of them.
“It wouldn’t be fun if it’s just myself alone. Some seconds will do, right, @7inchesunder?”

Took couple minutes until he finally stood in front of the said destination. Tidying his hair a bit with a smile being prepared to greet the lady once she’s out.
Focusing on his phone, sending a simple ‘I’m here’ to the one and only Cindy Lou.

“I’m taking that as a promise,” announced him with his pinky out, raised high before got pressed against his own lips, a gesture of sealing the promise. “Ready or not, here we go!”
Instead of jumping straight into the water, Reginald drags Cindy—

Kicking the sand along with the water, he’s clearly considering whether he should or shouldn’t jump to the water for the sake of himself.
“Shall we, @7inchesunder? I feel like I’m going to regret if I don’t get a thorough taste of the water.”

“Living by yourself is already tough, I mean, look at me, I might be loaded but all those are coming from my parents, I barely stand on my own feet.”
Grinning ear to ear until her answer popped his laughter.
“Ah, I should’ve brought my camera!”

in a sudden.
“You too are, @7inchesunder, a very cool woman,” smiling at that and he releases a long sigh after. “Anyway, do you enjoy swimming? Even at this late?”

“Agreed, it’s just sometimes I wish I had never been born, so she doesn’t need to carry that much weight.”
Acting nonchalant he is, but still paying full attention at her. Nodding at every sentence rolled out her lips and the wind felt colder —

only to let @7inchesunder go by herself again.
“It’s really nice here, did you grow up here or … ?”
The stronger breeze caressing his exposed skin causing him to throw his gaze away, now adoring at the seemingly calm ocean.

Tugging the corner of his lips, forming a crooked smile as he brings his eyes to latch on her.
“What about your family? Or should I just ask about you instead—oh, be careful there,” quickly grabbed her by the time he noticed a rock on her way, —

lessen his thoughts and just shove a handful of water only to splash them on @7inchesunder.
“You need to have some more, don’t you think?”
Giggling, since he’s truly enjoying the moment they’re in. For a little while, detaching from the reality.

It’s clear how the lass is really familiar with the place and he, with no hesitation left, just followed her doing until the water happen to greet his bare feet, cold enough to make him shiver a bit.
Seeing her carefree attitude, he decided to—

like what she said, there’s not many people there. Only the waves crashing the beach and the sound of his bike’s engine can be heard.
“Not bad,” muttering, eyes scanning the area. “Please show the way, Miss @7inchesunder. I’m at your care.”

“Really? Let’s bet on who’ll survive tonight, then.”
Cindy and her way to talk is something Reginald couldn’t help but be amused at. Another chuckle heard and he, felt completely convinced by that, they ended up stopping at the place and just —

perhaps have a date after this?”
Chuckling at his own assumption, yet he still takes the road toward the destination asked by @7inchesunder before since they can always reroute their journey.

Their voices are basically battling for existence due to the strong wind. Reginald lets out a strong hum, meant to be the sign of understandment.
“I do! But isn’t it too close? What about somewhere a bit far? The night’s still young, or do you—
