His Smile
Cumulus of clouds floated by as it dyed itself in shades of sunset, the sun signaled its temporary farewell. I, while carrying fishing equipment, was lead along by Jinhao – whom I promised to spend time with this Friday evening.
In sight was a beach, its sand glistened and seashells scattered. The waves tickled my toes as I stepped foot into its icy waters. I watched as he stupidly propelled himself into the sea, earning him constant sneezes and shivers from the cold. I sighed, facepalming.
“Here,” I covered him in a dry towel, rubbing his hair frantically. With the way he acts, sometimes I feel like his mom. I then handed him a fishing rod just to occupy him enough to not try jumping into the sea once more, and set myself a chair to take a short nap in.
…
“Andre, look!” he shouted, waking me up. His face beamed with joy, holding a live fish strung by the hook of it with pride. The way he smiled, his long locks carried by the wind, it granted me some sense of peace within.
Despite him being quite the annoyance sometimes, I suppose this isn’t too bad either.
tl;dr - Andre accompanies Jinhao to the beach.
