Austin and Hearts

[Austin]

Richard nodded from her words. "Ok, well It seems that we just disagree over the nature of Jesus. Do you see Jesus as having both a divine and human nature. Do you see Jesus as being half divine and half human? Or do you see as entirely of one nature Jesus being both divine and human? Personally I see it as the third and think could not sin and had his own equal power to give miracles." He asked her then explained his own stance on it. He was not mad and just wondered what she truly thought.

[[deleted user]]

Barbara wasn't mad, either, and it was good to see where each of them stood on these beliefs. She didn't mind talking about it. "I believe that before Jesus died, he had the same human nature that we do. After all, his mother was human and he learned and grew. He also was tempted. The difference there was that unlike what we do too often, he did not give in to those temptations. So he did not sin. But when he was raised from the dead, he became immortal so he did not have human nature and temptations we have anymore. But God had given him the Holy Spirit power as well to do those miracles that Jesus did. Thats what I believe. It's good to talk about this though, so I hope I don't sound mad or anything." She waited for some traffic before going forward and heading down the lane. "We should be there soon."

[Austin]

Richard nodded from her words. "So if I am hearing you right, it sounds like you think Jesus had two separate natures, one being divine and one being human. So it seems you belong closer to Nestorianism than you do the Arian church. I am sorry, but I read a few books on early church heresies. I was just trying to see if you were heretical." He says to her teasingly. "I am happy that we can discuss Jesus as easily as the communists discuss Marx." He said with a happy laugh.

[[deleted user]]

"I'm afraid I don't know that word? Nestory what?" Barbara had to chuckle because she know she sounded silly not knowing how it was pronounced. It was a big strange word, anyway. She smiled and finally pulled into a parking spot right by the beach. There were a lot of people already down at the shore. Along the boardwalks there were places to sit and buy food as well as a changing place to get into or out of swimsuits. She parked and shut the car off. "Here we are," Barbara said, hopping out and going to get her bag of things she needed. She changed out of her shoes and put her flipflops on right there. "You ready to go?" She asked.

[Austin]

Richard just laughed from her words. "Well I can see we are here. If you remind me of it later I'll define it for you." He said to her playfully. Once the car was parked, he got out and grabbed his bag as well. "I've been ready." He says to her with a laugh and too changed into his sandals. He then went into the male changing room and came out in his swim suit he. Then found a good spot by the shore and set up his towel on the ground and put his bag over it so it would not fly away. He then waited for his woman to come to him.

[[deleted user]]

Barbara smiled and hurried into the women's changing room. She took a few more minutes than Richard but when she finished she came out and joined him on the sand. She rolled her towel out beside him and also put her bag on the end so she wouldn't lose her towel if the breeze picked up. Then she stretched out beside him on her front and smiled over at him. "Want to go in the water? We don't have to swim if you don't want to but it can be fun to wade," she suggested. She didn't mind doing whatever right now.

[Austin]

Richard smiled happily as Barb approached him in her swimsuit. "Oh Barb you look so very hot." He says to her lovingly, admiring how attractive she looked in her new clothing. He enjoyed her smile and nodded to her words. "Sure we can wade into the water." He says to her playfully. He then got up and helped her up. Then took her hand and waded into the sea. Once they got up to their hips, Richard splashed her playfully.

[[deleted user]]

Barbara smiled at him and grinned, then took his offered hand and stood. She left her flipflops by her towel and waded down into the sea. It was cold but it felt very nice and she grinned at him. When he splashed her she couldn't help but let out a squeal and splashed him back. "That's cold!" she laughed, trying to quickly wade away from him.

[Austin]

Richard smiled happily as she grinned at him with her pretty grin. He then laughed as she squealed her sill squeal. He laughed as she splashed him back. He then splashed her again and waded through the water going faster than her and splashing her. He then jumped into the water and swam to her. Swooping her off of her legs so she was entirely under water before standing again with her in his arms. So he was holding her in a wedding carry with her no longer in the water but instead in his muscular arms.

[[deleted user]]

Richard took her completely by surprise. Suddenly Barb was underwater. Then she was swooped up into his arms and she sputtered from the water in her face. She wiped away at it before looping her arms around his neck and laughing. "Why did you do that?" She grinned. Her hair was sopping wet and plastered to her neck.

[Austin]

Richard laughed happily as Barb laughed, seeming to have fun with his antics. "I thought it would be fun. And well I am a hopeless romantic." He says to her then looked at her lips and gently leaned to her and pulled her to him. As if motioning that he would kiss her. His hair too was wet but he did not mind. He then pressed a soft and timid kiss to her lips. Wondering if she would kiss him back to slap him.

[[deleted user]]

Barbara let out a breath when he kissed her. It took her a few seconds before she leaned in and also kissed him back. When she drew back, she smiled at him. She hadn't kissed very many men and it had been wonderfully unexpected. But really she hadn't minded.

[Austin]

Richard smiled happily against her kiss. Loving the fact that she kissed him back. It made his heart beat for her. When she finally pulled back he smiled back at her with love in his eyes. "I am glad you enjoyed that." He said to her with a loving smile. He gently let her down, so she stood in the water. "What now?" He asked her wondering what she wanted to do.

[[deleted user]]

Barbara stood up straight. "Let's swim some more?" She suggested, since they had only done it a few minutes. Besides, she was having a hard time staring straight at Richard because they had just kissed. She smiled and waded deeper into the water.

[Austin]

Richard nodded from her words. "Ok, we can swim more." He told her with a laugh as he waded into the water. He ran after her since she had a head start. He hoped he would not step on any sharp metal. there were artifacts still under the water from WW2.

[[deleted user]]

Barbara nodded once he agreed and waded further, finally pushing off the sandy bottom and ducking under the water. She could swim well and the water here was perfect if you were careful enough. She swam a little underwater before coming up for air. Water ran down her face, dripping off the ends of her hair.

[Austin]

Richard smiled as he saw Barb swim then come up. Looking so very pretty in her wet state. "Just like a mermaid." He laughed to her. Then took a breath and did the same thing. Swimming under the water and emerging a few feet away from her. He laughed as he attempted to shake the water from his hair.

[[deleted user]]

"Me or you?" Barbara teased, laughing softly. She grinned and shook her own hair, squeezing out the water. Before he could do anything she let herself splash back and slipped under the water to swim further away and then back in a big circle.

[Austin]

Richard laughed at Barb's comment. "You of course silly. I said mermaid and not merman." He said with a laugh. He then braced himself from her splash. He then followed her as he dived back down under the water. When she came back up he splashed at her with a laugh.

[[deleted user]]

"I wasn't sure! But I guess you aren't very girly, are you?" Barbara laughed, teasing him. She splashed him back. "That's a good thing!" She smiled and twirled around before again diving underwater and sliding neatly through the cold water.

[Austin]

Richard laughed from her silly words. "No I am not girly and you are not manly. and that is a good thing" He laughed then dived down and swam with her under the cold water. Keeping up with her well.

[[deleted user]]

Barbara was actually a strong swimmer. When she popped up out of the water, she shook water from her hair and darted up to the beach again. "Cold!" She said, shivering. But she was smiling and she hurried over to her blanket. She stretched out on it and yawned, putting her head down on the blanket. "It's good exercise, though," she murmured.

[Austin]

Richard soon followed Barb, a medium swimmer. He got out of the water and shook his hair. Then he went to her and dried himself off a little with the towel then took her towel and rubbed her down, drying her off as much as he could. "You look so hot stretched out. I could just pinch your rear." He says to her playfully. "It is good exercise though." He says agreeing to her.

[[deleted user]]

Barbara looked surprised at his comments and chuckled shyly. "I'd prefer if you wouldn't," she said politely. She knew she was supposed to tell him if there was something she didn't like or feel comfortable with. And that was okay. She nodded. "Have you ever been on a swim team?" She asked, tilting her head to look at him better. She didn't see it but there was a large bruise just forming on her thigh.

[Austin]

Richard nodded from her words. He did not do what she did not want from him. "No I was never a competitive swimmer. I just took swimming lesions when I was a kid at the local public pool." He said smiling at her but then he looked down and saw a large bruise on her thigh. "Oh what happened Barb?" He asked her as she seemed mostly dry. He then focused on drying himself off.

[[deleted user]]

"That's a good thing. I did the same. Some of my friends used to go on a swimming team," Barb said. She smiled back at him, then saw that he was looking down at her leg. She shifted and looked at it herself, spotting the bruise. "Oh. I'm not sure! I must have bumped it against something," she said, unsure where it had come from. It looked like it would have hurt, yet she didn't recall getting it.

[Austin]

Richard shrugged at her words about her bruise. "Do you bruise easily? I was friends with a girl in America once who bruised like a peach. Her poor boyfriend kept getting accused of abusing her and she would always laugh. Because it was not true and she loved him." He the looked at it. He wanted to gently rub her to ease the pain away. But he was sure he would only make it worse.

[[deleted user]]

"I didn't think so," Barb said. She rubbed a hand against it, frowning. "Were the two okay? I hope he did not get in trouble! How awful." She looked at the bruise and then up at Richard. "It doesn't even hurt. It's probably nothing," she reassured him, and stretched back out on her towel, this time on her back so she could stare up at the clouds. It was bright so she had to squint.

[Austin]

Richard nodded and laughed. "She would tell them that he was not being mean to her and assured them off every time." He said to her with smile. Richard then nodded from her words and watched as she moved to her back and looked up at the sky. He then laid down next to her and sighed happily as he looked up at the sky. "That cloud looks like a poodle." He says to her with a laugh.

[[deleted user]]

Barb nodded, feeling relieved. It would have been horrible for either of them to pay a price or time in jail for being accused of being an abuser. She chuckled softly. "It does. Like one of the ones down town with their rich lady owners. Look, there is another one," she pointed to a smaller shape.

[Austin]

Richard nodded and laughed from her words. "Oh i see it now. Maybe it had puppies." He said with a laugh. He then pointed at a different cloud. "I see a fish." He then looked over at her and smiled. "You are such a pretty woman Barb I just had to let you know." He says to her happily.

[[deleted user]]

Barbara giggled at that and nodded. "Maybe it did!" She said happily. "I see the fish. In fact, there is a whole school of fish swimming up there in the sky." Then she looked over at him as he complimented her and smiled. "Aw, thanks, that's so kind of you. You are good looking as well." She turned on her blanket so she could better face him from now being on her side.

[Austin]

Richard smiled enjoying her sweet giggle. "Ah yeah, swimming with the dog and her puppies." He said to her happily. He then smiled and heard her words then rolled to his side to face her too. "Thanks, I have to admit you look hot in this swimsuit and I can see your pretty hair is drying. Did you want me to get us lunch or did you want to lay here a bit longer?" He asked as he looked into her lovely eyes lovingly.

[[deleted user]]

Barb smiled at that, her eyes sparkling. She reached a hand to her hair and felt it. "I think it will be getting crunchy from the ocean," she laughed softly. But Richard didn't seem to mind so she didn't, either. Even if it was in a weird shape. "Oh, I don't mind. We can stay here like this for a few more minutes and then get the lunch out of the cooler." Barb had brought the cooler down to the beach with them and it was positioned just at their heads now.

[Austin]

Richard smiled as Barb seemed to enjoy his complement as he watched her eyes sparkle with happiness. "You have such pretty eyes as well." He said to her lovingly then watched as she combed a hand through her hair. "Yeah I just find women with long hair to be so very hot." He said to her happily. And enjoyed her laugh. "You have such a sweet and light laugh as well." Then he nodded from he words and laid back on his back. "Is it too much for me to ask you to cuddle with me?" He said, not sure if he was going too fast.

[[deleted user]]

Barbara smiled at him. "Thank you!" He was good at complimenting and she didn't always get them so she didn't know what to say back sometimes. His question, though, did take her by surprise. She looked over at him with raised eyebrows, her mouth open just slightly. She was not sure if she was ready to do that or not. She gave herself some time to think, and finally nodded, getting to her knees. Barbara moved her towel closer to his and lay back down close to Richard. She took his hand in hers and squeezed it gently, smiling over at him again.

[Austin]

Richard smiled happily as she thanked him from his complement. He then sighed happily as she moved closer to him. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and gently held her. "this is nice, moments like this with you." He says to her lovingly. "So what will we do for our next date?" He asked her as he looked up at the sky.

[[deleted user]]

Barbara smiled shyly at him. She was sure she was feeling something for him now. She had been enjoying these moments together as well. "I don't know. It would be your turn next to choose. But I'd go and do anything with you." She smiled at him and allowed herself to snuggle close against his body. "Do you have an idea?"

[Austin]

((yeah I guess that makes sense. I was just wondering if I did anything wrong or if there was something for me to avoid here.))

[Austin]

Richard gave a happy sigh as she snuggled closer to him. He was certainly feeling love for her now. "Oh Jeez, I am not the best at picking these sorts of things. Maybe we go to a fancy restaurant one night for dinner? Or go to a movie theater?" He asks her with a smile, then looked at her lips and gave her a light peck on her lips.

[[deleted user]]

Barbara giggled at his kiss. It was light so it had felt soft and ticklish. "I'll do whatever you like. If it's with you I am sure that I'll enjoy myself," she said with a chuckle. "We have so many nights that we could arrange something as well."

[Austin]

Richard smile, enjoying her light giggle. He then laughed from her sweet words. "Aw you are too sweet. I guess we can go to a dinner then to a movie. Or would you rather play board games?" He turns to her with a happy smile. He loved board games.

[[deleted user]]

"We could do all three. We could play board games before dinner, have dinner, and then watch a movie. But if we did that then I would want to do something special after," Barbara said. "I haven't played many board games so you could teach me some."

[Austin]

Richard nodded from her words. "Yeah that is a good idea. That could be fun." He said happily. "What do you mean by special?" He asked her curiously as he turned to her. He then chuckled and nodded from her words. "Most are simple. I could easily teach you." He said to her happily.

[[deleted user]]

"Oh, I mean that if you did that with me, then I would do something fun like that after for my date with you," Barbara smiled. She liked being able to switch on and off with who chose their dates. "I'd like that," she said, staring up at the sky from where they were lying.

[Austin]

Richard nodded from her words "Oh, that makes sense." He said to her happily and just laid with her, gently rubbing her shoulder. "Have you ever played sorry, or clue, or life, or candy land, or shutes and ladders, or monopoly?" He asked her curiously as he laid with her. Wondering if she wanted to play those games with him.

[[deleted user]]

Barbara listened, then nodded. "I have played a few of those! I have played shutes and ladders and sorry. It has also been awhile since I have," she explained. "There is a game called life?" She asked, enjoying the shoulder rub.

[Austin]

Richard laughed happily as Barb said that she had played a few of those games. "See, it would be fun. We could play a game of life. We can see where an alternate you would be today." He says to her happily as he continued to rub her shoulder and upper arm. "If you don't like my touch tell me and I'll stop." He said to her nervously as he liked to cuddle and hold her. but he could see from her past experience with creeps why she might not enjoy that.

[[deleted user]]

"You will have to teach me how to play, then. That would be quite fun," Barbara said. Then she nodded. "Thank you. You are alright right now. Laurent...he always wanted to be my beau but when I said no he got so upset. He still thinks he has a chance. But he has never really hurt me before," she brushed it away even when Laurent had tried kissing her. She didn't want anyone thinking she was pathetic for being unable to get away from him easily. Or having issues with him. "I don't mind you, really." She put her head against him to show him that she was okay and kissed his cheek.

[Austin]

Richard smiled and nodded from her words. “I will. It will be fun tomorrow night.” He says to her lovingly. “Aw you are too sweet barb.” He says, his face getting red from her sweet words and nice kiss. He turned to her and gently kissed her back on the lips.
