Down to the Beach (Jari) Empty
PostSubject: Down to the Beach (Jari)   Down to the Beach (Jari) EmptySun Sep 21, 2014 11:59 am

After an eventful morning, the couple had decided to go down to the beach to spend time there instead. Jake had pulled a t-shirt on now that the day was growing warmer, knowing that his skin would not be able to take too much heat. He'd also reapplied his sun cream with Marilyn's aid as well as opting for a sun hat too.

They'd found a good spot on the beach, and after lying the towels out and slipping his shirt off Jake had moved in to the sea which was so very clear. He hadn't imagined the sea could be so very clear, but it was awesome. He stood in the shallows of the water for a bit, just looking out across the beach as far as he could. Their beach was private to the villa, and Jake turned back to Marilyn with a big grin on his face. "Coming in?" Jake asked the witch, before noting a shop of sorts just a little down the beach from them. "Or we can go there? See what things they have? We could get one of those boats you pedal..." He offered, before noting the sign for diving. That would also be fun, but he would let Marilyn choose which one she preferred more.

After their very productive morning Marilyn had put on a different swimsuit, one that couldn't be coaxed off so easily, and a wrap around her waist. They'd decided to head down to the beach and of course Jake was in the water before you could say 'Quidditch'. It was a bit idyllic, really the crystal clear ocean, Jake's figure lit by the sun. It brought a smile to her lips as she kicked off her heels and let the wrap fall to the sand and jogged up into the water to wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him deeply.

"If we use the bubble-head charm we could explore a bit?" She suggested, arms still wrapped around his neck as they swayed slightly in the water, waves lapping at their legs.
This vacation was just what Marilyn had needed, it was like recharging a battery that'd been running on empty until then. The witch could really unwind and to do so with Jake brought about a whole new intimacy that they were both enjoying quite a bit.

Jake was quite excited with the ocean, having realised this was the first time he'd been in it. He'd been to a beach in California, but never gone in to the sea because he was normally just running along the beach in the early hours of the morning. But this, this was absolutely amazing and it showed in the very childlike smile on his lips as he moved a little deeper so the water came up to his knees.

He hadn't told Marilyn about his lack of travels, because it hadn't come up yet not to mention it didn't really occur to him to tell her either.

Marilyn wasn't far behind him either, and Jake enjoyed the fact she was running towards him, much like a scene from Baywatch before she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him deeply. His lips moved gently with hers, his hands moving to hold her close to him with a smile playing on his lips. A smile that was growing with each second.

"If we use the bubble-head charm we could explore a bit?"

"Sounds great!" Jake replied, pulling the witch deeper in to the ocean as she held on to him, the water soon covering their waists. When the water rose to their chests, Jake held the witch slightly off the sea floor so the waves wouldn't hit her in the face. "You want to do the honours?" He asked in regards to the charm, then they could explore for hours on end, if they so wished.

The obvious joy on Jakes face brought a chuckle from Marilyn.  It was quite adorable really, even though the witch wasn't sure why he was so overjoyed. But she liked it. Kissing him again playfully as he pulled her back into the water.

Kissing him softly when he lifted her up slightly to keep her face away from the waves Marilyn nodded at his words, flicking her wrist to perform the charm, a bubble appearing around their faces and She pulled him down playfully, under the water.

It was like a completely different world. The entire view exploded in colour, everything was quiet and peaceful, but full of life. Mari remembered spending summers near the ocean and  it filled her with happiness to think that now she could share this world with Jake, and at the thought she turned under water to grin at him, holding his hand to pull him deeper into the water with a playful expression.

The light kisses before Mari performed the Bubble Head Charm only made Jake feel more relaxed, possibly too relaxed as the witch ducked him under water the moment she'd finished the charm, causing a mini panic in the Auror-in-training. Though, obviously he could still breath the moment his head went underwater, something that took a moment to get used to. Jake doubted that he was ever going to get used to the perks of being a wizard in regards to these charms. Though, that was likely because his family didn't use them at all times, and actually quite enjoyed using Muggle ways of doing things.

Still, diving like this was incredibly fun!

Marilyn seemed to know what she wanted to do also as she grinned at him a little way away. She took his hand though, pulling him deeper in to the water and Jake followed happily. It was so vastly clear Jake was surprised, the lakes in Minnesota were never this clear. As they moved deeper, Jake began to notice the fish on the surface of the water, and they grew closer to a darkening part of the sea which could only mean they were getting closer to the really cool parts of the ocean. Jake didn't let go of Marilyn, much happier knowing she was safe with her hand in his as they swam.

They'd been swimming for a while when the movement of something fairly large moved out the corner of his eye. Turning to look, Jake pulled Mari to a stop and pointed towards the large being. A turtle had just moved from it's resting point and was moving away from them, but quite honestly, the young man was amazed they were even this close. Jake put his thumb up to Mari when it had moved far enough away, following her lead further in to the sea.

As the water grew slightly darker Marilyn swam slower to make sure her body was dealing well with the ever so slight pressure change. But all was well and she was anjoying the view of the corals in their bright reds and deep purples around them, touching a circular plant and laughing when it recoiled as if shy, turning back to Jake just as he alerted her of the large turtle that swam close to them.

It was majestic, there was no other word for it, to see the creature so close and calm. But though he was calm Marilyn noticed that when they swam near schools of smaller fish; clouds of silver or yellow, they dispered as she arrived quickly instead of in the normally paced fashion they otherwise would. The way they'd used to. Just like they would if a predator approached, which was unsurprising to the witch, remembering how they can sense the magnetic fields around every creature, human or not, much like sharks.

After the okay from Jake Marilyn pulled him along, gently leading the way further, turning to look at him happily and pulling closer to wrap her arms around his neck, treading water carefully, just floating with him in the strange world around them. Smiling in her bubble of air she blew him a kiss before asking, her voice warbled by the bubble but still understandable if she kept it simple. "Where to?"

The swim was amazing, Jake had decided as they moved. It brought to life so many things Jake had never seen in real life, and made him realise that there was a whole world he didn't know about. It was as they moved towards schools of fish and around the coral Jake realised that he was extremely grateful that Marilyn had chosen to spend this time with him.

"Where to?"

With the witch closer, her arms wrapped around his neck, Jake looked around the area they were in. He doubted going much further would be wise, and the various colours that surrounded them were a beauty in themselves. His answer therefore was not to go anywhere, and they didn't for a time. Jake simply held the witch close as they stayed underwater, pointing out some of the amazing things he could find in the area. When Jake grew tired of treading water, he softly suggested they head back to shore, and, holding the witch's hand, they set back off. It had been a wonderful experience, one that Jake would remember for a very long time.

It was a short while later that they were back on the beach. With little and less energy from the long time in the water, Jake slumped down on to his towel, face down. "That... was amazing, but so, so tiring." Jake told Marilyn as he got comfy. "But, there's still so much to do before we leave tonight..." He added, looking towards the witch. "What do you want to do now?" He asked softly.

Staying closely intwined with Jake, surrounded by beautiful aquatic wildlife, was the epitome of relaxation to the witch and she was going to cherish the memory of their vaction warmly, she already knew that. However amazing it was, they did need to come out of the water before they tired out and so the pair returned to shore, Marilyn grinning when he slumped out on the towel. Casting a drying spell on the two of them the witch curled up beside him and kissed his shoulder before summoning her heels and shawl that she'd cast aside earlier.

"That... was amazing, but so, so tiring."
Humming in agreement she cuddled up to him and closed her eyes for a moment, sighing softly, utterly content to simply lie next to him and relax in silence for a few minutes. At least until he asked what she wanted to do then.
"I don't know," she murmured, eyes still closed, "I'm so happy right now, I don't know what could possibly make this better than it is." Mari's voice was soft and calm as she spoke, gentle even.

As the drying spell was cast, Jake was a little annoyed because the droplets were keeping him a little cooler in the Mexican heat. But he didn't say anything, just taking a few minutes to relax before they decided to do something else. Feeling the witch come to lie beside him, Jake turned his head enough to press his lips to her forehead and smile at her.

"I'm so happy right now, I don't know what could possibly make this better than it is."

"Do you want to get something for your grandparents whilst we are here?" He asked the witch softly. "I promised Victoria that I would get her something from Mexico, so we need to go to the shops before we leave, if you don't mind?" Jake continued, wondering what he could get for his sister. He'd never been very good with presents, but it was Victoria, she wouldn't much care if he got her something completely useless.

"When you're ready to head off, of course." He added, pulling his shirt towards him to act as a pillow.

"I promised Victoria that I would get her something from Mexico, so we need to go to the shops before we leave, if you don't mind?"
"Mhm, sounds good," she cuddled closer, opening her eyes to look at him, turning to lay on her stomach and kiss up his shoulder. "we should probably head out to the shops now," she mused, kissing his neck softly, "Before we utterly fall asleep."

The witch herself made no move to get up, nor stop the affectionate kisses that were now at her boyfriends jaw, "I told Cass I'd get her a postcard, too..." Mari added, finally kissing the corner of the wizards mouth, "Merlin knows what to write, though."

"we should probably head out to the shops now,"

"Comfy." Jake replied softly as Marilyn pressed a light kiss to his shoulder. The lazy smile that touched his lips was quite apparent as she told him they had to go before they fell asleep. Personally, he didn't see a problem, but he knew she was right, they wouldn't have too much longer before they'd need to apparate away.

"I told Cass I'd get her a postcard, too..."

"We best get moving then." Jake told her, enjoying the kisses but knowing they were a distraction. Especially the one that tried to lull him in to sweet kisses that she placed on the corner of his lips. "Though if you keep that up... I don't think I'll be able to persuade myself..." Leaning in to steal one kiss, Jake rolled away, not giving in to temptation and rolling his towel up.

"Come on, let's get this done, then we can have a couple of hours on the balcony or in the pool." Jake told Mari, holding out his hand to her as he stood up.

Groaning softly as he pulled away after the kiss she pouted up at him, accepting his hand and nodding. A few hours of relaxation together later sounded promising in exchange for getting up now. Wrapping her scarf around her waist again she leaned up to give him another kiss before they walked along the beach to the small row of wizarding shops, with his arm around her shoulders and her arm under his around his back, using the closeness to speak softly to each other, nothing of importance just sweet nothings.

Soon enough they were at the shops and Marilyn was picking out a postcard for Cassandra whilst Jake was looking for a gift for Victoria. "Do you need postcards, Jake?" she asked over her shoulder as she flipped through the stack, settling on a sunset with the words Playa Del Carmen flickering across as waves lapped repeatedly at the shore.

As they walked, Jake listened to Marilyn intently, passing comments where necessary and kissing her temple often. It was nice, it was relaxed. The duo didn't take long to get to the shopping area an after passing a few shops, Marilyn pulled him in to a souvenir shop. Jake instantly began to look for something Victoria might like, though there was a lot of variety, even overlooking the crass objects of amusement.

"Do you need postcards, Jake?"

"Only for Victoria." Jake replied, picking up a shell that had been charmed to sound like the sea at that point in time. A small smile touched his lips as he listened, deciding Victoria would probably like that a lot. "I don't think Gav would appreciate the card I'd pick." He added, moving towards Marilyn to see which she'd picked out.

"Anything overly pink in the collection?" He asked, looking over Marilyn's shoulder and pointing to one with a man wearing only a sombrero over his... "Cass would appreciate that one." He joked softly. Looking over them again, an idea hit the young man. "Get one for us too. We can collect them. When we go away."

The suggestion was brave. Possibly a little presumptuous, but Jake wanted to show he wanted them to continue this. A subtle way of saying he wanted this to continue without openly saying that. It still made him nervous, saying what he wanted, because he was still terrified that he was on the wrong lines.

"Then I'll pick Gavins." Mari retorted, picking out a nice card of the beach for him, leaning into the man now standing behind her as she looked over the rest of the cards, glancing at the shell in his hands with a smile, "Hmm...nothing overly pink, but this one has hearts?" she held up a card of the ocean with bubbles shaped like hearts on the surface.

Rolling her eyes she didn't reply to his joke, mostly because his next words took her slightly by surprise, very pleasent surprise, but still surprise.
"Get one for us too. We can collect them. When we go away."
Only an instant later a smile she couldn't control lit up her features, as she nodded, "Sure, I'd like that." Hmm. I'd like that. That seemed to be vecoming a thing, when they ventured to voice such...wants, that seemed to be the reply most often given. Most likely born out of their common need to protect themselves. A phrase to put all the things in that they felt but couldn't yet say.

So she picked out a nice one of the beach they'd been at, the name of the place scrawled across it and turned around, postcards in one hand, the other pulling him close to kiss him tenderly.
"Okay so, postcard for Cass, Gavin, Mary I figured as well, Victoria and us?"
she held up the cards for inspection.

"Hmm...nothing overly pink, but this one has hearts?"

Jake looked at the postcard in question and nodded in agreement. "That one will be fine." Jake told his girlfriend, kissing her cheek in thanks as she picked out some others. Jake had begun looking around again after that, looking for something else his sister might like from the shop. So when Marilyn had caught on to what he'd said, Jake hadn't been watching her.

"Sure, I'd like that."

The smile on Jake's lips spread with that notion, looking back to Mari just in time to see her lean up to kiss him. He kissed her back softly, glad his words had been received well. The attention was pulled away by the postcards though, and Jake agreed with each of them. Taking them from Marilyn and going to pay for them at the counter. It was a few moments later before Jake came back, their purchases bagged. "I think we're done now, right?" Jake asked softly, his hand slipping in to hers as they started back towards the villa.

It was a slow amble to finish off a tiring day, but Jake felt as if everything was completely perfect. "Thank you... for bringing me here. I've really enjoyed it." Jake told the witch as they arrived back to their villa, pulling her close to him and kissing her to show her just how much he meant that. Everything had been amazing, but most importantly, they'd been together, relaxed and shared more of their personal lives together.

The afternoon was spent savouring the last moments they could in the sun, the pool, on the balcony. Until finally they'd had to pack up and head back to England via the Floor Network. Exhausted, but happy (and sunburnt in Jake's case) as they curled up in bed together after a long weekend.

"I think we're done now, right?"
"Mhm," Marilyn nodded, squeezing his hand slightly as they walked back to the villa slowly. What a beautiful weekend it had been, really, Marilyn felt like her mind had been refreshed completely, she hadn't felt so relaxed in years, literally, nor so incredibly happy. And all this because of one weekend with Jake in Mexico. They'd grown here, subtly, together. Baby steps, monumental as they felt.

"Thank you... for bringing me here. I've really enjoyed it."

Wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him back in turn, pressing close to him, only pulling back very slightly, her lips brushing his gently as she responded, "Thank you for coming with me." And another kiss followed as her mind raced through everything she wanted to say. Thank you for making me happier than I've been in so long. Thank you for sharing this with me. Thank you for making me feel things. Thank you for caring about me.
But none of that came out. All the did come out was a whispered endearment, "mi corazón..."

That night before they went to bed Mari tacked the postcard to the wall in the kitchen, adding another tradition to it by writing the most memorable moment on the back before hurrying to join Jake in bed, soon falling asleep in his arms peacefully.
And as they slept the ink on the card dried, hidden by the wall, a single word.
"Mari"
