Iris & Poseidon

Romantic movies make you think your relationship is supposed to be amazing, passionate and exciting all the time. Books weave tales of true love where two people come across each other and magically fall in love. In Iris's case, her own love story started with her getting into a huge fist fight with the local surfer kid. Even now, the pink bubble-gum haired woman will adamantly deny that she dealt the first blow. Plus, the kid was being a huge dick if she remembered correctly. 

Of course, ass-hole and her were put into detention together and forced to forge friendly relations with each other. They faked it well enough, and soon enough their middle school was plunged into a war between tattoo girl and surf boy. Oh, and those were the good hormonal-crazed times. She recalled pulling off the seran wrap toilet prank on him one day, and lord, his reaction was priceless. The memory still made her cackle like a witch to this day - And oh, did she just snort?

Strong arms wrapped around her waist and her skin erupted into goosebumps when she felt his warm and ticklish breath against her skin. She rolled her eyes, slapping the mop of golden blond hair but didn't attempt to move away. Surfer kid was now surfer man. No longer pimply and gawky, surfer kid had grown up pretty well in her opinion. They also complimented each other well. He could cook up a meal fit for royalty while she burned eggs and she could make a house sparkly clean while he clumsily knocked over the bleach all over the bathroom floor. 

And even though they argued every other minute, they were glued together. 

"You gotta stop sniffing me man, it's fucking creepy," she said, yawning. 

"And you should stop remembering all the shitty things we did in the past," Rick retorted, knowing all too well that Iris only snorted when she thought about fledgling Rick and Iris. 

"But I like our past," she gently protested, turning her body around and shifting it so she was facing him. Rick's lips spread into a huge grin, his large hands carding through her hair. 

"Yeah? I think I'll like our future," he whispered back. 

Surfer man was also now a total romantic and Iris loved it. She leaned in to kiss him, morning breath and all before pulling back and sitting at the edge of the bed. Rick grumbled, stretching out a limp hand towards her. "Wha -"

"Yeah, time to get up sleepy-head. We gotta visit my mum to tell her that you, of all people, asked me to marry you and why in the world did I say yes? You are a manipulative bastard, you hear me? A manipul -" 

Rick suddenly pounced on Iris, grabbing her back down before putting a muscled leg over her hip. "Yeah, yeah," he mumbled as he smirked. Her five feet five inches were no match for his six feet body. 

"You are such a neanderthal," she cried out, laughter escaping her lips as she wrapped her arms around him. 

"You love me," he simply responded.

A pause.

"Yes, I love you very much."

The sound of waves crashing on the shore awoke her. The faint whispers around her gradually increased in volume. She tried to open her eyes, only to squeeze them back shut. Where was she? The beach? Oh yeah, she probably fell asleep while Rick was doing whatever fishes were supposed to do. She tossed once and then twice, the sand uncomfortably rubbing against her skin. She frowned. Did Rick pull the blanket out? Shit head. 

And then she heard her name, a voice so familiar that it made her radiantly smile. "Rick?" she called out, opening her eyes now for real since there was a shadow blocking the sunlight. What she saw was not Rick. What she saw was Rick's brother, Luke. He seemed older now. Was that a beard on his face? She could've sworn that he had shaved yesterday. She remembered because Rick and her had switched the shaving cream to whipping cream...

Luke dashed over to her, tears in his eyes as he easily pulled Iris up to her feet before embracing her. Did he just drop a bouquet of flowers? Why? Luke was the first one Rick told about their engagement... Mum was still alive and kicking. Why? And then reality came crashing down. It hurt like a bitch. She pressed her face against Luke's shoulder, eyes wide in shock. She didn't cry this time.
