Did she just check me out? Is that a compliment to shut me up and make me feel better or was she just flirting? I decide to grow a pair and just test something out.

I lean in closer to her, so our faces are only inches apart. “No,youare the one with nothing to worry about,” I whisper.

“Are you saying you like my body?” she says with a bit of a trembly voice.

“That’s exactly what I’m saying.” I give her nose a playful tap to lighten the mood before I sit back up, putting Harper in between my legs.

“The feeling is mutual. Although, I’m not sure there’s a woman on this planet that would disagree with me.”

Okay, so that makes it more clear, she is definitely attracted to me. I don’t plan on doing anything about it, but it’s good to know.

“Aw, thanks Riley. You’re good for my ego.” I playfully push her.

She laughs and sits up, scooting closer to Harper to tickle her. After a couple of minutes of playing splash and us laughing at Harper’s reaction, a bigger wave comes and gets high enough to reach Harper’s stomach. I think she is going to cry but she lets out a big giggle. Riley and I look down at her and end up laughing together at Harper’s reaction.

“Oh my gosh. Was that not the cutest thing you’ve ever heard?” Riley asks.

We eventually make our way up to the blanket where we dry off before lying down on our towels. I put some toys out for Harper to try to grab onto and play with. Riley moves her to her belly, making it easier for her to reach in front of her to try to grab the toys. We switch to our belly’s, joining Harper in her position on either side of her. After a couple minutes of playing around, Riley takes out a camera to get a picture of Harper and me. She goes to put the phone away but I snatch it out of her hands.

“What are you doing?” she asks as I set the camera in front of Harper and reverse the lens.

“Let’s get a picture of the three of us, to remember her first day at the beach.” We squeeze into the picture, all three of us on our bellies with big smiles on our faces. After I take the picture, I hand her the phone back. “Make sure you text me that.”

“No problem,” she replies as she puts her phone away.

Harper begins to get a bit fussy.

“I think she needs a bottle. I’ll make one right now.” I get to work on her bottle quickly, trying to keep my thoughts on the task at hand and not these feelings fluttering around in my stomach. I don’t know if it’s the vitamin D or Riley making me feel so alive right now, maybe both.

“I’m gonna change her out of her bathing suit.” Riley pulls out a fresh diaper and a onesie.

We finish at the same time. I lay Harper down on the blanket with a towel propping her up, and let her help me give the bottle. She sucks it down and falls asleep just as I take it out of her mouth.

“Well, baby fed and asleep. Check! Now we can just lay here and relax!” I smile over at Riley.

“Nice work! I did not plan for free time on the beach today. I think I might scooch off of this blanket and into the sand to get some sun on my back. “Would you mind putting some sun block on my back?”

Fuck, I know this is not a good idea but I find myself nodding my head yes as I reach my hand out for the bottle. She hands it to me and scoots a foot or two off the blanket until she is in the sun. She turns around until she is lying on her stomach, giving me a view of her round ass. I’m so screwed!
