she called out to him in the bathroom, setting her phone and keys in the pocket of the bag. ophelia lived only just down the street, but spent a lot of her time here. she'd watch raelynne when need be, and occasionally, would come over when raelynne wasn't home for alone time with trist. she had made the move down here for raelynne and trist so that she could see them more; and see a few others more, as well. her and trist got into a bit of a disagreement - and over what, ophelia couldn't remember, so it must not had been something big - and for a second she thought she was going to lose him. and if she did lose him, she'd back her things, and leave. awkward wasn't how ophelia rolled. she hated being awkward. which was exactly why she thanked god for work the first few months her and trist knew each other, and because of the short time she stayed with him. they were awkward. and that was a total understatement. it wasn't so bad when raelynne wasn't around, because then they could goof off a little more, but it was still awkward. and things were after they'd kissed. which, ophelia wouldn't take that back even if someone begged her too. because if they hadn't kissed, they probably wouldn't be where they were today. and she liked where they were. she smiled when he finally entered the room, telling her he was ready, and she gave him a light kiss before lifting the beach bag onto her shoulder and gesturing for him to lead the way. the beach was only a short walk away, so they walked most of the time unless raelynne demanded that she be allowed to bring any toy she wanted - which was all of her beach toys, most the time. and though when she brought them she occupied herself most of the time, allowing trist and lia to do their own little thing, she insisted on also burying her father. which, every time, he said so and suggested her build a sand castle for him instead. it occupied her for a bit, until she decided to crush it with her foot and start all over again. it was the cute little that's that rae did that made lia adore her more and more each day. they finally made it to the beach and lia set everything up, setting the beach bag on one end of the towel to hold it down in case the wind started blowing. she sat up and looked up at him, a smile instantly forming on her lips. he didn't see it, but ophelia found him absolutely perfect in any and every shape, form, and fashion. he treated her so differently than her ex husband had, but in the best way. sure, her and her ex had had a good marriage; but her relationship with tristam went so much better. he treated her like a princess, constantly trying to please her and make her happy. it was something she wasn't exactly used to, but she liked it. he was more gentle too. and physically, he was perfect in ways ophelia just couldn't describe. and probably shouldn't in front of kids. he was just perfect in every way possible, and she always told him that - even if he didn't believe her. words 950 , tag tristam koleton, outfit , its done. ♥

Things had been awkward to say the very least because tristam wasn't really sure how to be around a girl. they only girl he had ever been around, raelynne didn't count cause she was his daughter, was his ex girlfriend. and she had split when raelynne was born. she didn't want the burden of a daughter and so tristam had raised her all by himself, with the help of antares, of course. that man couldn't treat any girl right except for raelynne. and she thought the sun rose and set with him. trist never got jealous because she also loved her father too, just antares alway won over him if he was over. it was cute, probably her first crush. good thing she wasn't old enough to date, cause he'd have killed antares already. but lia and trist had begun to get a little more physical then just friends before she left. they had started dating and now they seemed like they were insepertable. if you asked antares, it would be that he was the cause of this romance. trist would just roll his eyes. he had watched rae become more and more attached to lia. and he did want a mother figure in her life because all rae had really been with was guys, two to be exact. he had never dated since her mom, so lia was like a new toy to her. and he was amazed at just how connected those two had become. but today was something entirely different, lia and him were going to spend some time together. his parents had agreed to watch rae while they had alone time. they were heading to the beach and he couldn't wait to get some alone time with her. rae had been between them all week. ewwing when he kissed her or held her close. so he had begun to stop while rae was around. when he smiled at lia, he could see how much he cared for her, even loved her. but he hadn't said a word because he wanted to take things slow and he wasn't sure if she felt the same or not. laying on the beach with her by his side was his idea of a great day. rae would have been there too on his prefect day, but he had wanted alone time with lia for now. he watched her sit up and he smiled. she was beautiful and he wished that she could see herself through his eyes. hey beautiful, would you like to go swimming with me? he asked, smiling over at her before leaning forward and kissing her softly on the lips. 513 , love <3

Thinking back to before tristam had Ophelia; he wasn’t the type of guy that would ever have thought that he would love someone like he loved her. Her and Raelynne got along really well. He figured it was because she never had the mother figure that she deserved and he hoped that Ophelia didn’t see that as a burden like most girls would have. Rae was a lot to handle, but Ophelia did wonderfully and he couldn’t complain at all about her. Plus it did help that he was in love with her. He spent most of his time with his girls. Either one or both all the time. He wouldn’t trade anything for either one of them. And he knew that Antares had joked with him about liking Lia in the beginning, but he hadn’t known that he be this deep into the relationship this soon. But he didn’t mind. it just meant that lia was a keeper. The beach was warm, as always. The sand felt great on his feet as the blanket that they had gotten was not long enough. His eyes watched the girl before him. She looked irresistible in that swimsuit that she was wearing and she wondered briefly if there was any place he could get her to take it off for him. But that would require them, probably, to go back to the house. And he didn’t want to do that, at least not at the moment. As he waited for her answer, he took the time to take her in, all of her. The soft and smoothness of her skin and the way it felt against his fingertips. She would have argued with him that she wasn’t skinny, and no, she wasn’t anorexic skinny, but her could affectively wrap one arm around her and touch his other side. He had told her once that she needed to eat, because he hardly ever saw her eat. But he knew she had to if she stayed her weight. but she was beautiful to him and nothing would ever change his opinion about that. Her words interrupted his thought process and a smile formed on his lips. He briefly closed his eyes as she kissed his lips, his hand sliding over her shoulder, down her arm. He opened his mouth, deepening the kiss just ever so slightly as his hand roamed her body.but before he could get anymore into it, she was gone. She stood up and he smiled, admiring her body before he stood up as well. Her snaked an arm around her waist and smiled. Okay. Tristam smiled, walking with her to the shore line then letting her go when the water splashed on their toes. The water was cool and welcoming to him. He had felt a little heated with the kiss. As he had left go of her, he walked farther out into the water, only stopping when he was ankle deep to turn his upper body to look at her. Babe, you coming? He smiled, motioning her to walk with him. As he waited for her, he looked out at the water. It was sort of peaceful. The surfers probably didn’t like that too much, but he didn’t mind, he really wasn’t the surfer type. Right now, he was just wanting to spend some quiet time with his girlfriend. Rae had made it sort of impossible for them to have that time when she was with them because she found it gross that they kissed. Of course, she was at the stage that though boys had cooties. Except for him and antares, she didn’t want to have anything to do with boys at all. 614 , love <3

Tristam loved everything about Ophelia. Her eyes, her hair, her body, and the way she looked at him. But most importantly, the way she was with Raelynne. His little girl never had a mother figure her whole life. And tristam felt incredibly bad about it. But it had not been his fault, not really. He didn’t just want someone to be there, but someone that was the one. So he was very picky about who was in Rae’s life, as he had to be because all the girl ever had known was a mother that didn’t want to be around her. His mother did a lot with Raelynne when it came to girl stuff, but there was a generation gap, and his mother couldn’t do it all with a wide-open four year old. So she had really gotten attached to Lia when she was around. Which he didn’t mind, because he was pretty attached to her as well. They had really hit it off, and now, she had practically moved in she was over so much. They did everything together and he wouldn’t have it any other way. She always made him smile, and even though she had some times where she could be a real pain in the ass, she was his pain in the ass. He smiled down at her when he reached her. She wasn’t that much shorter than him, but close enough where he had to look down at her. They walked a ways before she stopped and asked him not to go any further. He nodded, looking out at the ocean, he didn’t realize she was facing him until tristam turned to look at her. He gave her a warm smile. They were in waist water for him, and the waves were hitting against his chest when they blew past time, breaking shortly after they hit them. Lia was wrapping her arms around his neck and he smiled down at her, moving his own hands to rest against either side of her hips. She kissed him gently and the shivers went through his spin. She always did this to him and he wasn’t sure how. He continued to kiss her, as she deepened the kiss. If he didn’t know any better, Tristam would have thought Lia wanted him to take her right then and there. And he wasn’t opposed to the idea either, which was probably what was scaring him, or the fact of the matter that she might want the same thing. He pulled always slightly when the kiss began to be too much for his controls to handle. Babe, you’re gonna make me slide your bathing suit over a little and take you right now if you don’t stop that. He smirked at his words, wondering exactly what her response would be. 469 , love <3
