"Starting to question if you ever get stuff wrong." the taller girl said honestly with a half grin.
"I take pride in knowing you pretty well." Skyler said honestly, Kie's flannel still around her arms. "Despite not actually knowing a lot about you."
"So, that's why you're here? To know me better?" the Carrera girl gave an odd look.
A tight lipped smile escaped Skyler. "Seems like it."
Kid held back a smile, Sky gapped. "Oh, and I brought you a surf board."
Kie looked at it, the same one she'd been working on not too long ago. "You finish it?"
"Yeah." she smiled, looking at the different shades of pink along with the hibiscus' painted along it. "You like it?"
"Yeah." Kie smiled. "Come in."
Skyler walked from the balcony, into Kie's room as she set the board by her door, the two getting on her bed. "Is that what you wanna do? Long term?"
"Paint surf boards?" Skyler frowned her eyebrows, getting a nod. "I think so. I mean, I want my own business where I can sell them, but I can imagine it kinda perfectly. A little shop close to the beach, but on stilts incase of a flood, and only a few employees. It's just kinda perfect in my head right now."
"I love that idea." Kie stated at her. "Do you have a name for it?"
"Can't say I do." she shook her head honestly. "Any ideas?"
Kie thought about it. "What about...Skylers Surfers?"
"The SS." Skyler grinned, nodding her head. "So it kinda rhymes."
"See." she smiled in return. "You like it?"
"Yeah." she nodded her head. "What about you? Do you have plans?"
Kie shrugged. "I had all these plans if we found the gold, but honestly, now i'm just trying not to get my hopes up too much."
"Rafes an asshole." Skyler said honestly with a shake of her head. "Ward too. And Limbrey. It's all bullshit."
"Tell me about it." Kie agreed. "Sometimes I just wonder if literally any of this was worth it. Like, what's the point if we keep getting it taken from us?"
Skyler shrugged with a half grin. "Well, we met."
Kie cracked a grin as she went on. "And, that hopefully is worth it."
"It is." the curly haired girl gave her a grin. "Seriously. I love the boys, and Sarah, but they don't always get it. And I feel like there's only so much I can say before I have to shut up because they don't understand or know what to say. But, not you."
"Not me." Skyler repeated with a half grin. "I might not always understand-"
"But, you always know what to say." she cut her off with a half grin. "That's all I want."
"Well-" Skyler shrugged with a slight laugh. "-looks like maybe i'm all you want."
Kies face lit up. "Do you remember what I said? About Pope?"
"Which part?" she frowned her eyebrows.
"About it not feeling right?" she asked, Skyler nodded. "That night, on the beach, at the bonfire...."
Skyler braced herself for humiation and internal embarrassment, holding her breath."
"-that felt right." Kie confirmed with a exhale. "Even if the setting wasn't perfect, it would have been right anywhere. I'm not trying to, like, make you think we need to be together, but i'm just saying. The whole girls thing."
"The whole girls thing." Skyler nodded in agreement with a half grin. "I thought the beach felt right too."
Kie met her eye, blinking. Skyler sat still, looking at Kies lips. Leaning in, Kie cupped her face to kiss her again. Skyler sighed in relief when her lips were on hers, placing her hands in Kies tights as she leaned above her slightly to kiss her more. Skyler laid back, Kie keeping their lips together the entire time. A giggle left Skylers lips slightly when one of Kies curls got stuck on her eyelash. "Sorry."
"My fault." she said with a smile, pushing her hair back before leaning back down to kiss her again. Skyler pulled Kies waist down closer to her again, feeling the exposed skin on her back. The Carrera girl smiled into their kiss, trialing her hand down Skylers face to her hand, lacing their hands together to pull above her head.
Kies phone went off.
Skyler turned. "Is that yours?"
"Yeah, sorry." she answered, sitting up to grab it. "Hello?"
Skyler laid back against her bed with frowned eyebrows. "Who is it?"
"Pope, what happened?" Kie spoke on the other line. "This is really bad timing. For multiple reasons."
Kie hesitated, looking at Skyler. "Okay, okay. We're on our way. Where are you?"
Skyler stood up, grabbing her shoes again while Kie did the same. "What's going on?"
"Pope need our help." she spoke, looking toward her bedroom door. "They're gonna send me away, Sky."
Skyler frowned. "I'd love to see them try."
