No Day but Today

Angel smiled as the breeze came in off the ocean, blowing throught her blonde hair. She was using her crutches that day, as it was easier to leave them on the shore if she decided to enter the water. Sitiing dow on the sand she sighed softly. Life hadn't been very easy as of late, but she knew one thing would stay consant in her life, Evan.

Evan smiled as he saw his girlfriend sitting on the beach, she was really the best thing that had ever happened to him

"Hey baby" he came up to her and gave her a kiss "You wanna go for a swim?"

"Hm, you out there, getting all wet and irresistible?" Angel asked. "I like the sound of that."

"Well c'mon" Evan helped Angel up "Let's go have some fun."

"Alright, but I'm not using my crutches to walk out there," Angel said. "I have all the suupport I need right here."

"That's right" Evan murmured, swinging Angel up into his arms "I'll always be here for you Angel."

Angel smiled, resting her head on Evan's shoulder. "You are so good to me Evan, what would I ever do without you?"

"You'd get along alright" Evan smiled as they reached the water "I'm lucky to have you."

"Please Ev, I'm a disaster waiting to happen," Angel said. "I'm the lucky one."

"We're both lucky" Evan giggled, giving Angel a kiss before running into the waves, laughing happily

Angel smiled, easing herself down out of Evan's arms and into the water. Once she was in water like this in increased her balance and made walking much easier.

"My little mermaid" Evan smiled "The water feel good?"

Angel nodded.

"Yeah it really does," she said before she let herself slip into the water and started to swim. "Catch me if you can baby!"

"Wow you're fast" Evan struggled to keep up "Angel slow down...I can't keep up with you!"

Angel stopped for a moment and looked back at Evan.

"Angel we've come out quite a ways" Evan was working hard to keep afloat "And I'm getting really tired, could we go back, please?"

Angel nodded. She knew Evan wasn't as good a swimmer as she was.

"Sure baby," Angel smiled, turning around and heading for the shore.

Evan tried to follow as best as he could but Angel was getting farther and farther ahead of him "Angel!!!" he shouted, starting to flounder a little "Angel help me!!!"

Angel swam back to where Evan was as quickly as she could.

"Ev, listen I want you to get on my back okay, put your arms around my neck," Angel said.

Evan quickly complied, relieved when he could let his body rest limp in the water "I'm sorry..." he whispered "I just got so tired..."

"Evan, baby it's fine," Angel smiled. "I'm always here when you need me. "I kinda forgot that I swim a lot more than you do."

"Hmmm, what would I ever do without you?" Evan chuckled

"Drown," Angel chuckled as they reached the shore.

"Hah hah, very funny" Evan laughed as they got back up onto the beach "Well I think I've done enough swimming for today, don't you?"

"Yeah, but I'm not ready to go home just yet," Angel said.
