You rose above the surface and took a deep breath. Moving your (h/c) hair out of your face, diving under water always made it a mess, you examined the beach. The water was freezing today and for some odd reason the beach was crowded. Sure the sun was out and shining bright but it was a rather chilly day and you couldn't imagine a ton of people wanting to swim in icy cold water, as refreshing as it was, most people don't find it appealing. Sighing you moved to go further into the water when something caught your eye. Someone was examining your stuff and setting up theirs right next to it. Now that wasn't unusual, the unusual part was who it was setting up their stuff, the one and only Tony Stark. Your smile slowly began to fade from your face as you watched him. He must have followed you there, and this would explain why so many people were at the beach today. …show more content…
The two of you had met only a few weeks ago when you had went to a club with your friends.
A man had gotten up in your space with his hands, a little too close for comfort, and Tony Stark, surprisingly sober, pulled him off of you. Tony had soon begun to flirt with you and eventually got your number from one of your friends when you slipped away to the bathroom. He was such a flirt and it slightly annoyed you, no matter how handsome he was. Ever since he had followed you most everywhere, and how he did it, you had yet to discover. Quickly you searched to vast beach and the myriad of people for the friend you had come with. She had come for a volleyball game and asked you to come along, she said while she played her match you could go and swim or do whatever you
wanted. So much for a relaxing vacation in Miami, Florida. You had come with a group of girlfriends to get away from the annoying life you lived, now all you wanted was to go back home to get away from Tony Stark. There goes your chance to even try and soak up the sun. Finally you gained the courage to look back over at your spot and found two gorgeous women hanging on his arms. He whispered something to them and they both walked off giggling, that's when you looked away. He had begun scanning the water, searching the sea of faces swimming in the enormous ocean. When you turned back around he was gone, you didn't see any footprints leading anywhere and he was no longer on the shore, he had probably walked over to be with those women. You were just starting to relax again when someone tapped you on the shoulder. "Who are we looking for?" His voice whispered in your ear, causing you to jump out of your skin. "What are you doing here!?" You hissed, spinning on him while preparing to smack him in the face. "You forget, I'm Iron Man, I live in Miami." Tony grinned ear to ear at this. "Really? Cause I kinda get the feeling you're stalking me. Never have I run into anyone, more than I have you, in such a big city before." You looked at him with a raised eyebrow, waiting for an explanation to this 'coincidence'. "Perhaps we just have a mental connection. After all a beautiful girl like you is most definitely looking for a guy like me." Tony declared, seeming slightly taken-aback as to why you wouldn't want him around. "Look, you're a nice guy and all, and I really appreciate what you did for me at that bar but that doesn't give you the right to--" You were cut off by Tony slamming his lips on yours. It was unexpected, it was rude, it was...nice. You felt yourself slowly slipping into the kiss and finally you began to kiss him back. He smirked at this and suddenly you realized what was happening and you pushed him away. "Come on, (y/n)! I know I wasn't that bad!" He called after you as you waded to shore. Once you reached your chair you wrapped your towel around you, knowing Tony was behind you and staring at what your bikini revealed the whole way. While you waited for the sun to dry off some of the water so you could tan, you listened to Tony's pleas of defense. After a few moments you couldn't help but want to punch him in the face, so you did the complete opposite. You leaned forward and pressed you lips against his. He was surprised but almost instantly began kissing you back. All you could do was chuckle mentally at him, he was being rather adorable, you thought. Tony wasn't a bad guy and he certainly wasn't a bad kisser. In fact, not moments later, he had pulled you onto his lap and your legs were wrapped tightly around him. Tony licked your lip, begging for entrance, but you decided to have some fun. You shook your head and pulled away, tracing circles around his arc reactor. He shivered at you touch and began kissing your neck, causing you to moan loudly, but still you didn't open your mouth. "(Y/n), I didn't want to have to do this, but I swear if you don't let me in, I'm gonna have to shove myself straight through your skin tight bikini." He whispered in your ear, causing you to gasp and strike him across the cheek. Either way, he caught you off guard and tricked you into opening your mouth. He plunged his tongue in deep and began to search every square inch. You couldn't help but groan and were just starting to play back when you heard someone clear their throat. Quickly, you shoved away from Tony and looked up only to find the two girls he had come with. Both looked angry and made you wonder why Tony would be following you around when he had them. They were, by far, much prettier than you and you couldn't help but feel ashamed of yourself for falling for the playboy. "Girls, it turns out I didn't need you to come with me after all. Operation Foolproof didn't need a back up. In fact, she caved in quicker than I expected." Tony stood and smiled. "Thank you for your help, ladies. You both will get your pay within three business days." You looked utterly confused and upon seeing this the two women began to laugh. Nothing made sense, but based off of what Tony said, you had a feeling you had been bamboozled. He kissed each lady on the cheek and then they both walked off, still laughing at your cluelessness. "How 'bout we go back to my place and have some drinks. Maybe even--" you cut him off by slapping him. "(Y/n)?" Your best friend called, confused, from behind you. "(F/n)! I can explain!" You started but she only shook her head. "Hahaha. No, I understand. After all, you have been mumbling in your sleep about him for the past week. Go on, have fun!" Your friend smiled at you. Your jaw dropped in surprise and when you turned, and saw Tony a snarky smirk covered his face. He raised an eyebrow and his smirk changed to a grin. He began laughing along with your friend and a bright blush covered your face. You had no idea you had been mumbling his name in your sleep, in fact, you hadn't even dreamt anything you could remember. "Come on, let's go, (y/n)." Tony grinned when he finally stopped laughing. He grabbed your hand and dragged you along, talking the whole way about something you couldn't make out. You were still too shocked to understand anything that had just happened. When you turned and looked at your best friend she had a huge grin on her face and she winked at you. At that moment, you realized she had been in on it. But perhaps a night with the playboy wouldn't be too bad. A/N: Thanks so much, everyone! I appreciate you all reading these. You guys are phenomenal and drive me to continue writing. I promise, more will be up soon but for now, I hope you enjoy your day with Tony. Once again, thanks so much for reading! I love you guys!
The sandlot was a vacant lot we especially used for unorganized sports. It was a place during my childhood years where I could go and not have a worry on my mind, except being with my best friends and playing some baseball. The lot was a place where the memories of endless fun and games took place. I can still hear the voices of neighbors yelling at us to go home because of the tennis balls we hit against their houses and off their windows. To us the sandlot was better than Wrigley Field, nothing else could compare to all the times we had there.
This past summer, my family and I went on a cruise to the Bahamas. We had just docked at the second port, Nassau, and were preparing to exit the gigantic ship named the Carnival Fantasy. Once we got to the city, I noticed it was bustling with people of all different backgrounds and cultures. The roads were narrow and some even hilly. I remember coming to the conclusion that a lot of people in the Bahamas must have road rage what from the blaring car horns I could hear around every corner. My family and I were walking along the sidewalk, glancing into shops as we passed them. The weather was unbearably hot, but growing up in South Carolina allowed my family and I to push onward with our adventure. The sun burn on my back started to pulsate in pain any time the sunlight hit it, so we decided to stick to the side of the buildings that provided shade.

Marines share a special bond with one another and believe it is their duty to help each other in times of strife. They depend on the person left and right of them to potentially save their life. It is ingrained in every Marine to aid others in trouble. Personally, I know from experience because I was a Marine. Let me reminiscence of a time when I was a young Marine. When I went to great lengths to aid my fellow Marine. It is nothing big, but it made an impression on the fellow Marine and made a lasting friendship with his family.
We sat like this for the next few miles. Suddenly, he turned to me, a new light shining in his eyes
A mist of salt water brushed my face as we left the cove. The air was crisp with an overwhelming smell of exhaust fumes from
In the distance I could faintly see his perfectly caramelized skin, coral pink lips and hazel eyes as if he were right next to me. As he walked up to me he reached out his hand and I followed him.
Silvery pale hair whipped around her face, kept flowing by the offshore wind that came in through the front where the rest of the plane used to be and then funneled out through numerous small holes in the walls of the plane around her. Clean and pure with the rich salt and iodine smell of the open ocean, the wind carried none of the stink of aviation fuel or fire or ozone from electrical shorts that had filled her nose with their fumes and brought clenching terror to Asta's soul when the accident happened. Even now she could hear the screams of the other passengers, the terrible this way and that tumbling and screeching of tearing metal and breaking plastics as the plane just came apart on the surface of the ocean. That had been almost comforting
Waves crashing against the hot sand on the shores of the Florida coast, the hot sun burning my back as I lay on my pastel pink beach towel taking in the hot Florida breeze. The sky is blue and not a cloud in sight, sea shells lay around me, the laughter of cute, teen boys fills my ears. But it’s over before it even started. The sound of laughter and birds chirping is filled with yelling and arguing with things being smashed.
The lonely empty silence is overpowered by a wall of foam rushing towards me. Wheels of sand are churning beneath my feet. My golden locks are flattened and hunched over my head to form a thick curtain over my eyes. Light ripples are printed against my olive stomach as the sun beams through the oceans unsteadiness. I look below me and can’t see where the sand bank ends; I look above and realize it’s a long way to the top. Don’t panic Kate, you’ll get through this. I try to paddle to the top but am halted by something severely weighing me down- My board. That’s what got me in this mess in the first place. I can see the floral pattern peeping through the sand that is rapidly crawling over it. I quickly rip apart the Velcro of my foot strap and watch my board float to the surface effortlessly as I attempt climbing through the water to reach the surface. The fin of my board becomes more visible to me as I ascend. Finally, an alleviating sensation blasts through my mouth.
It was a cool morning, and the breeze was blowing in my face. The air was fresh and full of oxygen. That day, we were going to the glass sand beach, our most wanted place to visit. But then… (Start of Vacation): “Can’t you wait to go to the glass sand beach?” I said to my sister.
Out to the arms of the lake, we stared and admired in every manner to cherish and remember it like a picture that never change. I held her hand and began walking towards the dock, which extended shortly into the water face. The dock was of metal, not sleek but shinny, not clean but unnoticed as we looked into...
The light from the sun reflects off the pure white wall, illuminating the room. The dust floats, undisturbed by the empty house. This is what I see as I launch myself out the door, into the hot summer air, into the sounds of playing children.
