The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.

He loved the smell of the sea invading the small house.
Every summer he used to spend the most beautiful and carefree months at the beach house, discovering the first leaps of love and looking forward to becoming a strong man who would come across the princess of his dreams. He was sure that one day his life would run into the desires of his heart and the wishes of his soul.
Richard took a few steps and headed toward the colorful, large yard where he remained steady, admiring the beauty of the nature, smelling the countless roses. The setting was incredible and reminded him of the island of his dreams. He was sure he would never forget the wonderful island, the place he always wanted to find, the island of seduction.
The young boy took a deep breath and glanced at the large cedar trees that surrounded the whole place. The sense of the wet grass on his barefoot skin, the large pool in the middle of the beautiful garden, and the palm trees across his sight had turned the beach house into the paradise everyone was talking about—and really hoped one day after this life would reach—thus giving birth to
euphoria, flooding his body with joy and tranquility.
Richard had the privilege to have fun with his
grandparents for the rest of the summer since his childhood, while discovering the beauty and the mysteries of life.
He walked on the stone path and opened the gate of the house, moving forward to the absolute destination of calmness. He reached the golden beach, and soon, the mild breeze played with his golden hair. Although he was only sixteen, he felt blessed, he felt free, lucky, and strong. This summer, he was determined to make his life better and more interesting by focusing on his goal. He would dare.
Richard was ready to talk to Taylor.
The forest across the way, with its intoxicating smells, stirred up his mood and made him more decisive.
He looked forward to spending the rest of his day on the beach, enjoying the sun’s rays and the heat, waiting patiently for the girl of his dreams.
“Live your life to the fullest,” Taylor whispered in his ear and managed to surprise him.
“I will do it,” he said and smiled.
“Life is beautiful. We are still alive. Don’t waste your time thinking about the difficulties at school and the other nasty facts. And I don’t think grades are everything,”
Taylor said and pulled her black hair away from her sweet face, watching his big eyes.
“You are right.” Richard shook his head and felt wonderful, ready to confess his secret.
“It is time for you to take off your T-shirt,” Taylor said and left her white shorts on her towel.
“It’s great just to be here with you,” he said while she ran toward the sea.
The following minutes, the curious teenagers kept
having fun and didn’t care about anything other than swimming and playing in the cold water. They had never forgotten the time they were small kids when they used to
play with the sand along with their parents. Now, they loved being there alone, spending some untroubled moments far away from their homes and parents. They couldn’t stop laughing and teasing one another.
Richard realized there was no reason to worry or be nervous. He was not the only one who had feelings in his heart. Taylor seemed to like his company and he guessed she would never let him come face-to-face with his day-today
fears. Her smile had made his inner voice stop telling him that she would reject him, preventing her from butchering his feelings...
