OCEAN EYES [BILLIE EILISH]
“…As Holly’s heard her phone ding from her pocket – lifting it to find a new facebook message – she nearly fell from her chair.
Angus Buchanan. From school. Wild.
Beer and a quick eat – that night.
Feeling a little dusty from partying the night before, Holly thought to herself – yeah, why not? I could really go for some Thai.
Stumbling into the dimly lit Delaney on Darby, Holly felt her senses go into overdrive. The wafts of deep fryer, the slightly too loud music and feint buzz of conversation, the cool aircon in contrast to the outdoor Feb heat; and then, Gus. Handsome Gus.
Wow, he’s gotten much better looking since high school.
Conversation flowed as easily as the beers. Gus was funny and handsome and all the things that Holly had never before given him credit for.
They liked the same things, a passion for the ocean; and penchant for exploring and a desire to make the most of their new homes.
As a quick drink turned dinner – and the restaurant began to clear out around them, both Gus and Holly quickly realised that there was more to this than just a casual catch up. They got along – effortlessly – as if they were always meant to be friends. And that’s exactly what they became, catching up regularly – splashing in the ocean and paddling out through the waves.
For all the reasons that Holly had come to enjoy Gus’ company; for his kind and caring nature; for his openness to other people’s perspectives and his quirky sense of humor; she began to realise that the feelings were unlike anything she’d ever experienced before. The ‘better looking than high school’ quickly became ‘incredibly sexy’ and she found herself wishing away the minutes until she got to see him again.
Gus too, was taken by Holly. He admired her drive, her adventurous spirit and hey ability to put away a big brekky in record time. He realised that she was, in essence, pretty much ‘the same guy’ as himself - but better. And together they made one dreamy, freckly duo.”
