emotions came at ariel in WAVES. really this was the FIRST DATE she had ever agreed to. nerves trickled through her body as if struck by lightning. everything was electric, a wild sort of feeling. talking to ERIC was liking talking to an OLD FRIEND. connecting was hard for the redhead; feeling as if she had never really fit in. a round peg trying to fit into a square peg, nothing worked. sparks flew the moment her eyes fell on him. things changed. ariel felt happier than EVER BEFORE. despite feeling awkward & strange around him ( even in her red lifeguard bathing suit ) ariel felt herself. things escaped her throat, escaped her brain without a second thought. thinking out loud in front of him was a FREEING FEELING.
planning to meet up out front, ariel placed a hand on her hip. practicing how to even approach him. not QUITE paying attention to anything around her. mumbling to herself, “hello eric---” still speaking to herself. trying so hard to seem sexy which only made her look ever more awkward. every few seconds the redhead would check herself in the mirror as well. to again return to practicing her ‘sexy wave’ or her sexy husky voice. people would push past without even an utter from the redhead because of her distraction. little did ariel know, erica would be showing up soon. acting cool was taking over her overactive mind.
