Australians Find Love in the Unlikeliest of Places: A Beachside Romance Story I know I am going to have to start somewhere. I really like the film 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' so I will be using my two favorite characters names for this story. All events in this story are true apart from names and locations to keep my identity a secret. In Australia the weather here gets rather hot in summer. During summer you are either down at the beach or at the local pool. For me it began at the beach. I was down at the beach with a few mates one day after work. The beach was a fair way from any town. We all had our surfboards and we all had our towels and whatnot. I have never been physically attractive nor have I ever been in top condition regarding my health. I was chubby but not overweight, I had a fairly decent amount of upper body strength. When we initially arrived at the beach, I spotted some hot girls that were sunbathing to the left of where the cars were parked. One of my friends, lets call him Matt, was built like a Spartan Soldier, with rock hards abs and muscles to go along. When he and I exited the car these girls that were sunbathing seen us arrive. Matt had already put on his wetsuit before we got to the beach, so all he had to do was get out, get his board and go. Me on the other hand was ill prepared. As Matt ran down the beach to his favorite spot, all of the girls, four to be exact, were all looking at him apart from one. This girl with long blonde hair, a light see through dress with a bikini on underneath was looking at me. Like I said before, I wasn't built like a God. I had no abs, I had no pecs or any decent bulging muscles. I was just a tad chubby. This girl was eying me off, I could tell. I noticed her and looked her directly in the eye, she noticed and we stared at each other for around a minute or so before I got my board and started to head out. Decent waves, wind was crap and swell was shit. As Matt and I headed in, our other friends, Steve and Aaron arrived. We greeted and they suited up. I grabbed a quick drink while the others ran off into the water. …but everything was about to change
