By the time you guys read the second line in this post you would've figured out who has written it :) Not Alpheus obviously :)
Our visit to the beach had me laughing so hard that my stomach hurt :D, whenever i think about it now it still makes me smile :)
After eating too much he decided we should take a walk and we went randomly walking around the sand (not close to the water) for some reason looking at most of the food stalls one by one. As usual i was looking up to the sky and realized it was close to full moon day. And apparently walking in no direction we landed close to the water. As always i asked him to get into the water, to which he always says NO. I was pleading for the same trying to get him to agree to get into water with me, tugging at his hand. Saying NO, and letting go of me, he walked closer to the water as the waves were coming in, i stood there with a slight frown on my face. He just stood there close to the water. After about 30 seconds i ran up to him and pleaded him again to get into the water. I was jumping up and down (like jack in the box) saying "Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..." Distracted and amused by my hyper pleading he tried to ssshhh me so that we dont attract too much attention of onlookers :)
TOO LATE!!! A huge wave came towards us and crashed on the mound on which we were standing, we were both soaked, with shoes in water :) and with a "shit" Alpheus started running backwards - away from the wave. It was such a funny sight, i was already laughing as the wave had hit us and couldnt help laughing as i saw the wave OUTRUN him and follow him till where he ran :)
He stopped as the wave slid back and i ran towards him (laughing) and said "Serves you right!" The look on his face was utter astonishment as to how the wave had managed to soak him when he had DECIDED not to get into water :) . He said " I didnt think the wave would keep coming at me."
We sat down for a while trying to rid ourselves of the sand in our shoes. And i couldnt stop smiling. (Okay, I know it doesn't sound funny enough, but you should've been there!).
Alpheus kept a watch on the waves now as i was telling him how neither of us realised since it was almost a full moon the waves would come more inland. All he kept saying was "Why did i have to go and stand so close, what was I thinking!" :)
