I Was In Love With A Tentacle Monster, Jezebel Rose

Sitting in her armchair by the window, Lara looked away from her book and glanced over at the clock. She thanked God that it was a Sunday because it meant that her father’s three-day visit to her small home on the coast had finally, finally ended. Her phone buzzed with a text from her father saying that his plane had landed safely, and Lara smiled down at it.

It wasn’t that she didn’t love her father. She did. But hosting him, her brother, and her brother’s for the weekend in her small, two-bedroom house had been a bit much. That, and she’d had to give up her bed since her father’s back was so bad that he couldn’t sleep on her old, lumpy couch. She looked forward to sleeping in her bed that night, looked forward to a few more weeks of quiet before her brother dropped in on her again and tourist season began.

Most of all, she looked forward to finally seeing her boyfriend.

Hearing a splash outside, Lara set her book down and ran for the door, not bothering to lock it behind her. She’d only bothered to pull a long skirt on over her bikini when she and her father had returned home from the beach that day, her dark brown hair was a mess, and she knew she smelled like the ocean. But she knew that her boyfriend wouldn’t care about any of that, predominantly when he always smelt like the ocean, too.

Screen door flapping closed behind her; Lara ran down the short dock that jutted out from her back porch and stopped in the middle of it, waiting. Her security lights were on, but the yellow beam only reached as far as she was standing, so the rest of the dock was covered in shadow.

Lara heard a soft thump, followed by a muffled curse, and smiled.

“Over here, Cas.”
