It Started With A Kiss (10 page)

Mindful that she didn’t have an income and
only a small amount of savings Georgie balked.

“
I have plenty enough for
both of us,” Nate reminded her. “Let’s travel, see the things we
always wanted to see and if at the end, you want to come back and
get a ‘normal’ job we’ll do that too. I’ve been on the road for a
long time, Georgie. I’m ready to stop. I want to be with you. It’s
all I’ve ever wanted.”

Georgie lifted her hand to graze the side of
Nate’s face. A glimmer of hope twinkled in his eyes as he waited
for her answer. A tingle of anticipation, sparked in her hand,
sprinted its way up her arm and exploded through her body. Her
stomach, far from being in knots, was filled with that thrill she
used to get when she and Nate headed to the beach for the day and
saw an awesome set of waves. She used to get so amped at that. If
she did this, it would be up there with her most impulsive acts
ever — apart from sleeping with Nate ten hours after meeting him
again, of course. That would rank as number one for a very long
time.

“
Our surfboards are still
in the garage,” she said. “We can take them with us.”

“
As long as you promise not
to show off doing aerials. You make me look bad.”

“
What do you
mean?”

“
Come on, I know you used
to pull back for me. You could surf rings around Taj
Burrow.”

“
It’s because I loved you,
Nate. I’ve always loved you.”

“
So kiss me like you did
when we were eight, and promise you’ll be mine forever.”

Georgie placed a chaste kiss on his lips. “I
always have been. Since that day we got married in the closet.”
