Beach friends

also fun to be around. She was definitely a bit spiked around the edges but he liked her fiery spirit. He responded, " Now that would be a shame. Still, I'd rather have a hot friend than a hot nobody." Jasmin considered this and responded, "That's actually kind of sweet." Matt smiled at this as a moment of eye contact passed before she looked away. He asked, "So... Do you have a boyfriend." Jasmin looked back at him with a calculating gaze before answering firmly, "No." After a moment of pause where Matt was going to jump in she then added, "And I'm not looking for one. I want to focus on school right now." She eyed Matt to evaluate his response, he clicked his tongue and let out a groan. "Aug, all you hot girls are either taken, lesbians, or bussy." Jasmin snorted, trying to hold back a laugh before recovering and countering, "That may be true. But I find it hard to believe a guy like you can't find himself a girlfriend." Matt nodded at this before answering, "It's a matter of quantity vs quality." Looking at Jasmin flirtatiously he added, "I have some high standards. I'd rather wait for the right girl than just waste my time on relationships that aren't going anywhere." Jasmin swallowed and blushed a little, not expecting such a response before responding in a slightly distracted tone, "Good luck with that." Matt focused his eyes on her and commented, "No worries, I'll keep you well informed." Jasmin's blush deepened and she snapped, "Are you always such a playboy." Matt laughed at this and responded, "Not at all, I'm actually making quite the effort." Jasmin snorted and looked away from him, "Well it's not working." Matt sighed exasperatedly though felt his heart pounding with playful excitement. Something about Jasmin really brought out his inner personality. She stimulated his brain and made him want to make her laugh. Similarly, Jasmin found herself struggling to suppress her fluttering heart. Matt was both funny enough to keep her laughing and assertive enough to keep her on her toes. Being with him was fun. He was honest about liking her but not over the top, a refreshing change from guys who either only stared at her or came on too hard. Even when she pushed him away he didn't get irritated but stayed at a comfortable distance and continued to play. He seemed to respect her feelings though he also made his stance clear. It was incredibly attractive. At the same time, his body made her want to drool. She could only imagine what it would feel like for a stud like him to have his way with her. His strong body moved against her. His arms holding her tight, his hands on her curves, his breath in her ear. In high school, she had discovered the joys of sex but her classmates either weren't interested or weren't impressive. She could always have her pick of boys with her looks but in the end, they fell short either skill-wise or personality-wise. Either way, she had promised herself she was going to focus on college and not boys when she moved and was dedicated to sticking to that promise. After a few moments of silence, Matt pointed to the wooded shore and commented, "Hey, want to see something cool." Jasmin met his eye and teased, "You're not going to kidnap me are you." Responded with equal humor he said, "That's no fun, I like the thrill of the hunt." He winked and Jasmin rolled her eyes, "Fine, show me." They paddled on over to Matt's hidden beach, obscured from the water by draping foliage and a turn in the land. Once the sand was in sight he gestured and said, "This is my place but it has one of the only beaches around." Jasmin was excited by the sight of the beach though retorted teasingly, "So you tricked me into coming to your place, how typical." Matt smiled and responded in kind, "Oh don't mistake me for a gentleman, my intentions are not pure." Jasmin laughed a bit while Matt got off his board and walked onto the beach adding, "Feel free to stop here for breaks, people in the neighborhood come by all the time." Jasmin dismounted and made it to the shore as well commenting, "That's very kind of you." Matt picked up his board and leaned it on a tree while answering, "It's what my grandmother wanted, this used to be her place till she passed." Jasmin grew sympathetic and responded, "Oh, I'm sorry." Matt waved dismissively, "Don't worry about it, that was a couple of years ago. She was at peace." He grabbed a towel from a tree branch and tossed it to his new friend while calling, "You can use that." Jasmin caught it and wrapped it around her shoulders, obscuring her figure and feeling touched. At the same time, she took in the smell of the towel which consisted of salt, sweat, and pheromones. She responded, "Thanks." For a while, she looked around this hidden cove fascinated by it while Matt talked about its history. After a while, he gestured to the rocky path and said, "That leads to the house. We can stop by if you want a drink or something." Jasmin looked ready to agree but her waterproof smart watch suddenly let out a series of dinging sounds. She check the time and looked surprised blurting, "Fuck, I'm going to be late." Matt was worried for her and asked, "Late for what?" Jasmin returned to her paddle board and responded quickly, "My friends and I were going to get our nails done. They're going to kill me." Matt nodded considering and offered, "Hey, I could drive you back. It'll be faster than paddling." Jasmin looked surprised again but recovered and nodded quickly. "Yes, please." Matt smiled, "No problem, you get the board and I'll get the keys." They raced off together and in less than two minutes were In Matt's car. He handed her a cold bottle of water he had grabbed in passing and commented, "Got you this." Jasmin felt touched and quickly took off the lid, responding, "Thank you so much." She chugged the refreshing beverage while Matt stood to drive, responding, "I'm happy to. We're neighbors now and plus..." He glared at her and finished, "Who wouldn't help a hottie in distress." Jasmin blushed and almost choked on the water before growling out, "Eyes on the road buddy." Her place ended up only being a three-minute drive away and once they arrived she shouted, "Thanks for everything." Matt smiled and responded, "Anytime. How about we get lunch sometime?" Jasmin was half out the door and blurted, "I don't h
