Naoko walked on the beach with Koa. Nao was wearing a turquiose bikini with a semi-see through, white wrap skirting her legs above the knees. Her hair was pulled up into a bun with white flower clips accenting it. She held a large bag filled with towels and other beach items. She smiled as she and Koa plodded down the beach to find a good spot for them to set up their stuff.

Koa wore a pair of red plaid beach trunks and a white tee shirt. He was holding the bulkier items that he and Nao had brought, which included a set of chairs. He rolled his eyes remembering the argument he had had with Nao about why they had to take the chairs. He had lost and so now he carried them down the sandy beach.

Here, Nao said, This is where we will put our stuff. She watched Koa set everything up. She smiled happily at him. Thanks for getting everything all settled. She set the bag she had been carrying onto the chair. Then she lifted her hand to shield her eyes from the high sun and looked out to the sea. The water glistened with invitation, as did the noises of other people enjoying the water. Then Nao turned her gaze to look around the beach to see if there was any one she knew also there. She did not recognize the people she saw. Her eyes landed on the lifeguard. She smiled at the handsome figure. She was especially admiring the cascade of muscles that filled his abdomen.
