Alice and Alex walked hand-in-hand, on the shore of a beach.
The waves of water came to touch their bare feet before they receded.
They walked on the soft and wet sand while hearing the calming sound of the sea waves with their hands interlocked.
It was almost nighttime so there was no one on the beach as it gets closed around 6: 30 pm.
But Alex and Alice didn't need to worry about that, after all, they could become invisible if they wanted to.
They were supposed to go back home by now as it was already quite late, but Alice wanted to go to the beach, and Alex being a nice host, brought her here.
"The sound of the waves is just so relaxing...." Alice spoke in a low voice as she looked far into the horizon.
"Hm," Alex nodded as well.
"The children in the orphanage used to come here to play sometimes...." Alice continued.
The orphanage she and Alex used to live in was quite close to this place, so Alex was not surprised when he heard her words, he just held Alice's hand tighter causing Alice to smile a little.
"We used to build sand castles only to see them washed away by the 'evil waves'," Alice chuckled as she remembered those memories.
Alex smiled as well.
Although he was not with Alice at that time, he still had the memories of that time.
"All of us would chase after the receding waves saying that 'the evil waves are running away'," She chuckled again.
"All of us would have fun, but he...." Then Alice paused.
The air turned sad from jovial.
Of all things, she had to remember her brother.
But one can't blame her, he was in the orphanage, and he was the only person in the orphanage she truly cared for.
More and more memories of her time with her brother started surfacing, adding to her sorrow.
But before her eyes could start watering up, she felt two hands on her body, one reached her high while the other reached for her back.
Before she could realize what was happening, she found herself lifted in a princess carry.
"Wha...."
All of her sorrow was washed away in a second as she became bashful.
She could see Alex's face up close as she was being lifted in a princess carry.
Alex was looking at her, but she had her eyes closed as she couldn't look into his eyes out of embarrassment or shyness, whatever you want to call it.
"You...." Alice gritted her teeth as she looked at Alex who was chuckling now.
"I won't stay down now!" Alice exclaimed before she ran toward Alex and splashed some more water toward him.
Looking at Alex getting drenched with the water she laughed.
"Hahahaha, you asked for it."
Alex saw Alice running toward him but he didn't do anything.
Alice ran as she sent wave after wave at Alex.
The waves obstructed her vision so she could not see where Alex was but she thought that he was moving backward.
That was until she crashed into someone, but she didn't fall into the water.
*Swish*
The water in the surrounding 2 meters to them stopped and emptied the spot.
She finally saw Alex standing in front of her as he held her in his arms.
Her face started heating up as she saw Alex's face up close, looking at her in the eyes with a gentle smile on his face.
"You look so good with a smile on your face, Alice.
Don't let that smile off your face, at least not for something from the past."
Alice spoke as he lifted his hand and caressed Alice's face softly, tucking the strands of hair that were on her face, behind her ears.
"Un," Alice just nodded with her face red as a tomato.
"Let's sit here, surrounded by the waves that you like so much," Alex spoke with a smile and Alice nodded her head.
Both of them sat in the small circle that was made by Alex.
Alice rested her head on Alex's chest as Alex slithered his arm toward her waist.
This time, Alice didn't show much reaction and just smiled.
They sat there for a while, looking at the stars until Alex spoke.
"What's got you so deep in your thoughts?"
