**Ross POV**

I laid there, with Kairi lying on my chest, one hand playing with her hair, the other under my head. She was drawing small circles on my stomach with her index finger.

"You're amazing." Was all I could get out, a small laugh escaped her lips.

"You're pretty amazing yourself." She rose up from my stomach and climbed over top of me. Leaning over her bed to grab her top and once again putting it back onto her body. She stood up on her hard wood floor and walked over to her closet, grabbing an over sized t-shirt and slipped it over her body.

"You still up for surfing?" She smirked at me, as she fixed her ponytail.

"I'm up for anything that involves you." I returned her a smile, and got up off her bed. I pulled on my shorts and tank top once again. She walked over to me and rested her hands on my chest, got up on her tippy toes and kissed me softly on the lips. Smiling at the touch I kiss her back. Pulling away and sinking down back to her height, she looks up at me.

"Shall we go?" Nodding my head, we head out of the room.

"I'll meet you outside; I gotta go get my board from the garage!" She said as we made it to the bottom oh we stairs.

"Alright, I'll be down on the beach." I replied as we both went out separate ways.

I walked out the back door, the sun's rays immediately hitting my body. I takes my eyes a second to adjust, it got really hot and sunny fast. I take my surfboard in hand and walk down the long line of stairs. I look out at the waves, it was mostly calm. I let out a sigh, frustrated. When something hard hit my butt.

"Why are you sighing?" Kairi came up behind me.

"No waves."

"Oh..." She pursed her lips together. "Well that's okay; we can just lie out on our boards and just float, tan a bit." She hit me again in the butt with her board "Come on, race you!" She started sprinting towards the water.

"Not fair!"

"Baby!" She called out behind her, already by the water, I pick up my speed; actually trying now.

Seconds later I made it to the water throwing my board on the water and quickly getting on top of it. I paddle out to where she had stopped.

"Looks like Kairi wins!" She rubbed in my face. I stuck my tongue out at her.

"Whatever, I let you win!" I lied.

"Yeah, okay." She winked at me and laid down on her board. I sat there running my hands along the cold water, watching her.

**Ross POV**

We stood in the drive way, embracing one another; not wanting to let go.

"You're going to have to let go of her at some point." Rocky interrupted the silence.

"And maybe help us pack up the bus." Riker joined in. I could feel Kairi laugh, and loosen her grip around me, which made me tighten my grip around her. I kissed the top of her head.

"You promise you'll call?" She rested her head on my chest.

"Every night." I cooed, rubbing her back. "I'll miss you."

"I'm going to miss you too." Resting a hand on my stomach, she pulled away from my chest "Do you guys want some more help packing up?"

"No, we're good now. Rydel has the last box." Ryland grunted, walking past us with a big box in hand.
