Leon looked at the waves splashing on the dark rocks that erupted one moment, and the other they were gone into the sand. Everything looks so pure, he mused...i.e. the darkness of the rock, the white milkiness of the waves, the pristine sand... Hmm ! This is heaven. He closed his eyes breathing in the water-rock-sand-wetness-dryness feeling inside. The waves one second made the sand wet, the other, they left it abruptly, as if deserting it, only to come back rushing again shamelessly. So were her thoughts...
He could see her at a distance. She was seated on a chair, crossing her legs, her face as usual in deep thoughts. But when she laughed, she did it with a full heart. She looked beautiful. The age didn't show on her. He liked her spirit. Could he ask her out ? What would she think ? Would she come ? And how could they go out together, alone..i.e. without their spouses ? Heck ! Why did he have to think so much to spend few quiet moments with the person he found interesting ? Well he got up and sat down next to her. Leon-'What's it that you are thinking Mel ?'
Mel-'Nothing much'. And you, what with the eyes closed and all...?
Leon-The waves...they confuse me....
Mel-Why ?
Leon-They don't stay, They move back and forth..
Mel-They are meant that way...
Leon-I want to hold them, for a while, experience them.
Mel-You can't.
Leon-Why ?
Mel-If you did, they would lose their charm.
Leon-But I would gain their charm, their spirit. I want it.
They went on like this for quite a long time. The kids were in the Disc. Pam was glued on to the T.V. and Ron was busy with his Laptop.
Leon-' Mel come on let's go for a drive and get some play stuff for the children'.
Mel-What about Pam and Ron ?
Leon-Ask them.
Neither Pam nor Ron was ready to join. So they both went. To the other part of the beach to watch the waves once again. She knew what was coming but strange didn't feel like stopping him. But she did anyway. He did too. Fatal Attraction ? It was good that at least they were close enough to enjoy each other to an extent.

Thank you ! Wanted to type something different...the usual pattern seems boring to type at times...you know the 'the bore bug' that won't leave me in peace until I have worded my thoughts. And wanted to lengthen the conversation. Mqy be next time.
