Sweater Weather

[32sillylight32]

Seth had woken up pretty late compared to usual, it's just that he slept so comfortably. He lazily stood up rubbing his eyes, and directing himself to the bathroom to do his usual grooming. Still in pajamas he wen over his computer and checked his facebook, he was curious and added Dany. He then looked at the day and remembered that his dad was coming. He immediately dressed himself and took his car keys, he stormed out of his room to the kitchen and ate fast, ''Morning all of ya!'' he said fixing toast to bring with him.

Dany was surprised by how fast Seth was running, he probably had to go pick up his dad or get something before he came. Dany felt as though she were the only person in this house who didn't know when things were going on. She stood up and went downstairs without speaking to Seth. Walking into her bedroom she changed into something more father appropriate. She undressed and laughed at her underwear which read "skin paler than cocaine" on the back of them. She got out her flannel shirt and black jeans and put them on. She pulled her hair back into a messy bun and went upstairs and into the garden.

 

[32sillylight32]

Seth drove to the airport impatiently, he really missed his dad this time. He hadn't seen him for a month now, he barely stayed in America. He would come and leave two weeks later to another country. This time, he would stay a little longer because of the marriage. He waited at the gate when he saw a tall handsome guy that looked exactly like him, but a bit older.


''SETH!'' he shouted jogging towards him without caring how his luggage was wiggling everywhere. He held him in a tight hug, Seth grinned and hugged him back,


''Good to see you Father.'' he said walking with him towards the car.


They started talking about anything and everything and how his trip went. This time he went to Africa and it really intrigued him since all his childhood was there.


His father started rummaging inside his bag and took out a letter. He stared at seth a few seconds and sighted.


'' Seth, your mother would be really proud of how you grew up.'' he said trailing and hesitating at every word. It wasn't his habit to bring up his mother into a discussion. As hell, he had never saw a picture of her or anything because his father left everything in Africa before they moved and he was too young to traumatized to remember. his father continued,


''Anyway, I was able to get to your childhood house and retrieved this.'' he said handing him a letter while smiling sadly. Seth let go of one hand and took the letter eyeing it.


''Now, she wanted you to read it once you turned 18. I let you the choice either you can wait or read it once home. ''

Dany studied the vast variety of plants in the back garden. There weren't as many as at home, obviously, but there were new ones she had never seen before. She wrote about each one she saw and tried to identify them, and took cuttings of the leaves to press into her scrapbook. She sketched a few of the trees and flowers, then lay down on the grass. The garden was quite large, and she loved being out in the open air. "Everything of importance in ones life must be done beneath the open sky." She smiled as she remembered something her brother had read to her once, though she couldn't quite remember the book. She waited patiently for Seth to come home, happily gazing up at the clouds.

 

[32sillylight32]

He got back home feeling happier than he ever was, he hadn't stopped talking to his father about school and how he had reached the nationals in basketball, his scores at school and everything. He looked like a little kid and his father loved that about him. Once they parked, they both got in the house, his father smiled and went over to Lucy, he missed her a lot. He couldn't find Dany, but eventually found her in the garden. He walked out of the house and he could see her sitting while gazing at the clouds. He went behind her and popped his head from her side ''What you doing?'' he asked looking at her sketches in her hand.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Dany squeaked as Seth suddenly came into view, she hadn't been expecting it, and instinctively she reached out and almost hit Seths face, but caught herself before she could do any real harm. "Waiting longingly for my prince's return." She pretended to be all dramatic. "Oh where oh where could he be." She sat herself up, taking in a deep breath as the smell of flowers reached her senses. She shut her sketch book and looked at him.

 

[32sillylight32]

'' The prince had returned for his princess,'' he said making a soldier salute, but feeling dumb right after. He chuckled and sat next to her leaning on his hands, ''The weather is pretty nice, it would be a waste to stay here.'' he said closing his eyes.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Nothing is a waste when you're outside." She whispered, happily. She turned to look at him. "But where do you want to go? There's still so much I haven't seen. And I haven't even met your father yet. Plus I'm dying in these bloody jeans." She tugged at her legs, and stared at a plant she hadn't noticed before. She'd have to document that one when she came back from wherever Seth was planning on taking her.

 

[32sillylight32]

Seth stood back up and stretched, ''Well while our parents reunite and talk about the wedding, why don't we go to the beach?'' he asked leaning his hand for her to take it. He often went to beach to cool off or just enjoy the sun. It wasn't too far from their house to add up so on weekends we would most probably be there. '' It's really nice and pretty close from here, so we could walk to there.''

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Dany took his hand as she stood up, completely different attitude to the last time she had been offered his hand. Her hand was still in his, "If there's a beach then I'm game, as long as we swim." She grinned and suddenly remembered that she was holding his hand, and removed it instantly, putting it in her back pocket. "So in which case I'd like to get changed first. She began to walk towards the house, then into her bedroom, not stopping to hear what he had to say to that. She looked through her swimming costumes and finally chose a black bikini. She put it on but put a skirt and a top that said 'Don't ask don't tell' on over it so that she could get to the beach without feeling awkward.

 

[32sillylight32]

Seth walked to his room and wore his dark blue swim shorts but decided not to wear anything over his chest. He didn't feel like dragging anything except a towel and maybe a parasol. He went to the washroom and took a bottle of sunscreen and walked to the front door waiting for Dany to come. He didn't know why but when he saw come upstairs he felt a pinch in his heart and he remembered how he was about to not let go of her hand earlier.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Dany ran a hand through her soft white hair and walked upstairs to Seth. She smiled at him, how he just wore his swim shorts and nothing on his chest. She almost melted a little, her heart beating in her chest. She tried to push the thoughts of him like that out of her mind as she told shouted to her mother that they were going out. Her mother told them to be back by 6 as they were going to have a family dinner. Acknowledging this she ran out of the front door and waited for Seth as she pulled some shoes on.

 

[32sillylight32]

They walked for maybe 10 mins and finally arrived to the beach. There was a boardwalk with many shacks, restaurant and attraction for tourist. The beach longed a few kilometers the coast and they could see a pear not to far. Seth took out his sandals once on the sand loving the feel and walked towards an empty spot between tourist. '' Ok here's the sunscreen and I'll just place a parasol here.'' he said throwing the sunscreen and proceeding so. It took him a few minutes and laid his towel on the sand, he waited for her to finish so he could run to the beach.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Dany took off her shoes and sighed happily at the feeling of sand in between her toes, she put down her stuff next to Seths, and took off her skirt and shirt. She bent down and grabbed the sun cream and began to rub it on her arms and her legs and her stomach. She turned to Seth. "Do me a favor and get my back?" She asked, inside feeling like butterflies were going to eat her stomach.

 

[32sillylight32]

Seth's cheek slightly turned pink as he took the sunscreen and poured it in his hand. He placed it back in his bag, not caring that he didn't' put any, he never did, and he started rubbing it on her back. He could feel that her skin soft and was the color of milk. He got a bit distracted as he trailed his hands towards a no-man land but immediately snapped out of it and creamed all of her back. One last spot was were her bra was, he slipped his hand between the strings and her back and lingered his fingers. Once he finished, he rubbed the rest of the sunscreen on his face.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Dany shivered at his touch, it was soft on her skin, gentle, the way that she imagined it would be. She mentally slapped herself again and turned to Seth. "Thanks!" She smiled and tied her hair up in a high ponytail, leaving a few strands at the sides of her face. She grabbed Seths hand and pulled him towards the water forcefully. "Lets go lets go!"

 

[32sillylight32]

Seth ran to the beach splashing all the water on Dany. It felt cool but yet warm, the waves weren't too big, enough to body surf on them. He dived inside the water to soak himself in the salty water, it felt good. He liked everything from the beach, the smell, how it felt and the view mostly. He wasn't a bad swimmer, but not the best either. He swam on his back towards Dany

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Dany wasn't so great a swimmer but she was decent enough to get by, and as she walked into the water until she was waist deep, she sighed at how lovely the cold water felt against her warm skin, and smiled when she saw Seth swimming towards her. "The beach was a good call." She said laughing, she swam over to him so he wouldn't have to swim as far.

 

[32sillylight32]

Seth simply smirked , '' Yeah I always come here..it's relaxing and cheerful.'' he said looking at her. He played around a bit with her, throwing water at each others face or wrestling in the water.He felt a groal in his stomach ass he saw that it was close to 5pm and he hadn't eaten all day, since he basically rushed out of his house in the morning and didn't eat lunch.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

She shook her head. "I'm starving, but its nearly six, and my mom wants us to be home so that we can have a family meal." She smiled to herself, excited to finally meet Seths dad, her new step dad. She gathered her stuff up and put the shirt on but left the shorts off, she watched Seth pack up the parasol and then linked her arm with his as they walked back. "She's probably cooked something really fancy. I know she wants the family to come together."

 

[32sillylight32]

Seth walked out of the water with a growl in the stomach and packed up the Parasol, when Dany linked there arm together, he didn't know how to react. His muscle tensed up as he saw some old couple looking at them in awww look how cute they are way They probably think we are dating.he thought just nodding at what Daenerys was saying. ''Yeah...hum she's kind of right after all.'' he said smiling nervously.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

When they got home, Dany greeted her mother at the door and checked the time, her mother was very precise and would call them for dinner with no exceptions at bang on six. It was 5:30. Daenerys rushed downstairs and showered, getting rid of the smell of sea salt and replacing it with a scent that she only used for fancy occasions. She took in a deep breathe as the smell of strawberry filled her nose and she smiled. After cleaning herself she stepped out of the shower and dried off. She wrapped herself in her towel, and went into her room and got dressed, forgetting again to close the door between their rooms, putting on a simple floral dress and straightening her naturally wavy hair. She put on makeup and perfume, and then looked at the time. 5:58. This was record time for Dany. With two minutes to kill, she text Seth.


5:58- Seth: Get ready for awkward conversations

 

[32sillylight32]

Seth showered fast, it took him 5min and then he dressed himself in a classy shirt and a black pair of pants. He was sitting in his office playing online when he heard a Beep. Dany had sent him a text but he didn't understand why it would be ackwards. He paused his game and replied


5:58- Daenery's: What you mean??


5:58-Daenery's:

 

[buildingaspaceship]

She chuckled to herself, and heard her mother call them both as the grandfather clock in the living room could be heard chiming bang on six pm. She quickly text back:


6:00pm- Seth: You'll see


She chucked her phone on her bed and began to walk upstairs to the dining room which they only used on formal occasions. Her new step father was sat at the end of the table, her mother at the other end across from him. Dany took a seat in the middle of the table, intending to sit opposite Seth. She greeted her soon to be step father politely with a handshake, and gave her mother a quick kiss on the cheek before actually sitting down.

 

[32sillylight32]

Seth walked out of his room and walked to the dining room. He glanced at his phone and simply frowned not knowing why it would become awkward. He sat at the only place left and looked at the plates. They looked delicious, he grinned widely and greeted both hi parents.
