Wow!
"Well,"
she said to herself. "I'm not sure if I will ever do anything as crazy as
that again, but I sure am glad I did it once." But even as Molly said this
to herself, she knew that she'd found a secret pleasure she probably could not
really live without. She also knew that this would remain her secret, her
private domain that she would never share with anyone. To share it would be to
lose its power.
Molly
wondered about the boy…about who he was and what he thought about what had
happened on the beach. Would he tell anyone? Or would he understand that it was
something special that had passed between the two of them, and that by keeping
it secret he could hold onto the experience forever?

The
next day Molly awoke to Lily knocking on the back door of her house. She went
downstairs and saw Lily standing there. Lily was wearing a very cute yellow
bikini top she had bought up on the North Shore in Haliewa. She also had a
wraparound skirt on, the kind she always wore when she was heading to the
beach.
"You
ready to head to the beach today, Mol?"
Molly
smiled, thinking about what had happened yesterday on Sunset Beach.
"Yes,
the beach sounds great. In fact, I went for a swim yesterday and it was the
most amazing swim of my life."
Lily
looked at Molly with a puzzled expression on her face. "Most amazing swim
of your life, eh? That sounds cool, Mol…Sorta da kine… but I'd like to
have a swim like that."
Molly
giggled and placed both her hands on Lily's shoulders and looked her directly
in the eyes.
"It
is definitely da kine , but there is one thing I am certain about Lily,
and that is that you certainly would want a swim like the one I
had!"
Lily
looked confused, but she ended up laughing hysterically with her friend. Then,
they both gathered their things and walked down to the Kam to catch The Bus down to Kualoa Beach . Lily wasn't sure why Molly wanted to go to Kualoa
rather than stay right there on Sunset Beach. But Molly had explained that the
swim last night on Sunset was so good that she wanted to savor it for a while
and not immediately go back. The truth was that she did not want to ruin the
experience by running into the young man she had made love to the night before.
In the end, Molly knew that the power she’d felt was in the mystery. Better to
let him and Lily wonder a bit.
Molly’s
summer had certainly begun in an interesting way. She wasn't sure how what she
did the night before would affect her life or the way she lived but she was
certain there would be an effect. She no longer felt as if she were missing
something or as if she was waiting for her life to start. She felt more alive
and more real than she had ever felt before. Now she was ready for the future.
Now she was ready to be the woman she was meant to be. She
also knew one other thing for certain – she had been seduced by her power as a
woman.
The End
