Week Sixteen: Tuesday Who: Kim and Ita When: Tuesday afternoon Where: The beach
While most Northerners hated heat and humidity, Kim loved it. Well, maybe not the humidity part, but she loved when it was hot and sunny outside. You’d think that she would be more inclined to liking the cold, but that was far from the truth. She hated it and when she was living back in Massachusetts, she wore layers upon layers of clothing during the winter months even while she was inside. Guess this love of heat could be attributed to the fact that she was a were of the African variety. Who knows.
During her last class of the day, she found herself staring out the window a lot more than she usually did. Not that she usually did that at all in this class, seeing as it was Basic Physical Combat. Let your guard down for a minute in that class and you’d end up on the floor or bruised. Luckily, that hadn’t happened to her yet and she snapped out of it just in time to duck out of the way of her partner’s fist.
Once class was over, she headed back to her room and unloaded her messenger bag on her bed. She walked over to the window and opened it up a little, immediately feeling a burst of heat flow in. It was too beautiful of a day out to spend it cooped up inside. Closing the window, she walked over to her dresser, took one of her bathing suits out and changed into it, pulling a pair of boardshorts on over her bikini bottom. Grabbing her beach bag, she stuffed in a towel, her iPod, a magazine, sunblock, and a bottle of water from the mini fridge. She pulled her boogie board out from her closet and tucked it under her arm as she slung her beach bag over her other shoulder and headed out.
Once outside, she pulled her shades on and started the trek down to the beach. Yeah, she could’ve taken a cab, but it was nice out and she always loved the exercise.
It was only a matter of time before she made it down to the beach which was already pretty full for a Tuesday afternoon. Taking her flip flops off, she held them in her free hand as she walked along the hot sand toward the water. She stopped off almost at the edge of the water and put her stuff down. Pulling her shades off, she threw them in her bag and ran into the water with her boogie board in hand. She dove in with the board in front of her, feeling the warm water crash all over her. Ah, so nice.
