-I can't keep my hands off you. Can't keep my, can't keep my, can't keep my hands off you-

Megan picked up the phone with a groan. "Hey babe, what's up?" she muttered into the phone as she wiped the sleep from her eyes.
Megan could hear blasting punk music on the other end. "Hey Megs. I was wondering if you up for a little adventure today." said a man's voice.

When she heard this, a huge smile stretched across Megan's face. "Of course. I'm always up for an adventure"

"Great Megs. Wear your bathing suit. I'll pick you up at 12." the man said enthusiastically.

"Will do boss," Megan said jokingly. "See ya later Tom, I love you"

"Love you too, babe." Tom said with less feeling than Megan would have wanted, but she expected that.

After the call ended Megan sat up from her bed and looked at the clock: 10:47. "Ugh," Megan groaned. It was a bit early for her liking, but she didn't mind since she was going to spend all day with her favorite person. So what if Tom wasn't the most affectionate guy on Earth? He made her happy and that's what mattered.

While getting really, Megan thought about all of the things Tom had planned. They lived on Long Island and it was August, so almost any activity included water. Megan looked for a bikini and settled on a purple top and black bottoms, since she couldn't find matching pieces.

After finishing getting dressed and brushing her wavy brown hair, Megan went into the kitchen to get something to eat. As she passed the living room she saw her roommate/best friend, Ally, watching TV on the couch.

"Morning Ally," Megan said, but she knew that Ally wasn't listening. Ally was watching Toddlers & Tiaras, and Megan knew that when Ally was watching that, she was in her own little word of bratty six-year olds and loud, overweight, redneck mothers.

Megan poured herself a bowl of Frosted Flakes and sat down next to Ally on the couch. Ally didn't even notice that Megan was next to her until a commercial came on. "Oh hey Megs. I didn't expect you up so early. You shouldn't be up for another 2 hours," Ally said muting the Cake Boss commercial.

"Ha. Very funny. Tom called and is taking me on an adventure somewhere at 12." Megan told her best friend with her mouth half full of cereal.

"Oh. I still don't get why you like him so much. It's like pulling teeth to get him to even hold your hand. There's something weird about him," Ally said while she wiped away the bits of food Megan spewed while she was talking. This wasn't the first time Ally said that, and it didn't take a genius to figure out that she wasn't crazy about Tom.

"I know he isn't the most affectionate guy on the planet, but I really love him and he loves me. He's just not comfortable on expressing his feelings." Megan replied, sticking up for her boyfriend. Not many of Megan's friends or family actually liked Tom. The only one that really hit it off with him was her cousin Tay, but she lived all the way upstate.

"I know that's what you think Megs, but I'm just sure about this one. I don't want you to get hurt." Ally said feeling bad that she wasn't being the most supportive best friend at the moment.

"I know you're just protecting me, but I don't think Tom will hurt me." Megan said after she finished the rest of the milk left in her cereal bowl. She got up and said "Well, Tom is gonna be here soon so i should fin-," but she was cutoff as Ally unmuted the Hoarding: Buried Alive commercial and focused back on the flat screen.

Tom parked the car in the parking lot of Field 5 at Robert Moses beach. Megan started toward the beach, but Tom started pulling her towards the wooden path that led to Fire Island towns.

After what felt like miles on the path Megan complained again, "Why the fuck didn't we just stay in Field 5? It's way to fucking hot to be walking around on a path that leads to nowhere."

"Calm the sailor's mouth and stay quiet. If we're quiet enough the wildlife won't be so scared." Tom said calmly.

"Fine." Megan mumbled, muttering a couple more curses under her breath. After only five minutes of silence, a deer came right along the path, then Megan and Tom saw a field of flowers filled with butterflies. Before they knew it, the path ended and split into a paved road and the beach.

"Well it's too fucking hot to just walk along the road so whatever town we're going to we are gonna get there by walking along the water." Megan told her boyfriend when she saw that they had two option. Megan was usually a cheery person but the long walk in the sun made her kinda cranky.

"Just what I was thinking," Tom replied with smile. Megan loved his smile, but then again she loved a lot of things about him. She loved how her head rested on his shoulder when they hugged, how his golden-brown hair hung across his face, how his bright green eyes sparkled in the perfect light.

"Megs? You ok?" Tom asked waving his hand in front of his girlfriend's face to get her attention.

"Uh yeah. I was just thinking about how lucky I am to have an awesome boyfriend like you." Megan said, even though she knew Tom wouldn't say the same thing back to her.

"An awesome boyfriend who can beat your butt in a race to the water!" Tom yelled laughing as he started sprinting towards the water.

"You wish!" Megan screamed as she sprinted after him. He reached the water first, so Meg launched herself into the air and onto Tom's back. She hoped Tom would fall and Megan got what she hoped for. After she landed on his back, Tom started to stumble and fell into the moist sand. The couple started hysterically laughing while still laying in the sand.

After Tom finally caught his breath he turned to Megan lying next to him and said, "You look tiny and gentle but you tackle like a pro football player."

"Having older brothers will teach you a thing or two." Megan said standing up and flexing her arms.

"Sure Megs," Tom said sarcastically extending a hand to his girlfriend. Megan pulled Tom to his feet and just as he was gonna let go she squeezed their hands tighter, and Tom got the message.

Tom and Meg started walking down the beach, hand in hand. They both noticed a man walking in their direction. "Is he..? Holy fuck he's not wearing a bathing suit." Megan exclaimed as she turned her head away from the overweight nudist walking toward her and Tom.

"Shit. None of these people are wearing bathing suits. This is a nude beach." Tom said horrified as he scanned the beach scattered with naked people.

Megan stopped, put her bag down on dry sand, and started taking off her clothes and bathing suit. Tom stared for a couple seconds and then followed his girlfriend's lead. "If it's a nude beach we might as well" Meg said and then ran into the water with Tom at her heels.
