Charlie falls in love with Bella
xxxxxx敏
But there were other things he could share with her. Other things he
could show her. He could take her to the ski fields. They could make
love in front of a fire and drink hot chocolate while the snow fell
outside. He could go with her to Paris and watch the sunset from the
Eiffel Tower. They could take an early morning trip to Bondi and watch
the sunrise over the ocean. They had a whole world to explore and he
knew then he'd rather have that adventure with Bella than surf one more
wave. When he was with her he stopped searching for the next
adrenalin rush, the next hit, the rush he used to get from taking on a
monster wave and coming out of it unscathed, victorious. The rush he
got from performing a difficult operation and doing it successfully.
Bella gave him that same rush of excitement but she also made him feel
grounded, content, happy. When he was with her he felt comfortable. He
felt free.
And that was when he knew. He missed surfing but not as much as he
missed Bella.
He'd offered her an experience to remember but he'd been thinking
along the lines of a weekend, maybe two. But that wasn't what she
wanted and he realised it wasn't what he wanted either. Could he be
the man she wanted?
He wasn't sure but he was prepared to try. He wanted Bella more
than anything else and he was going to make sure he got her. He stood
up from the sand. He had one week until Lexi and Sam's wedding. One
week until he knew he'd be seeing Bella again. There were things he
needed to do.
