We laughed. Our first 'mess'. 

He held out his hand after getting up from on top of me. I took it and he swung me up, with great strength. We walk a bit further, along the sands, holding on to each other. "And then, after Ateyo left, Rotxo started to kiss Kiri, and" I laugh outright. "And she went so red!"

He chuckled. "You know, Lo'ak still hasn't actually kissed Tsireya."

My jaw drops. "No!"

He nods his head vigorously. "He's such a wuss."

I nudge his arm. "But he's your younger brother, he's got to get that from somewhere."

He gasps. "How dare you!" 

He scoops me up and holds me like a child as my legs wrap around his waist. "I'm going to have to punish you." He frowns, trying to hold in a playful smile. 

"Oh yeah? How so?" 

"Like this!" He runs into the water, till we are rib deep, then throws me away in a big gust. I scream, then splash back first into water. When I come back up, water stings my nose, and my hair sticks to my face. I growl, before jumping into him, pushing him underwater. 

The liquid brushes the hair from my face and I can see his handsome face. 

I kiss him, hands on his shoulders and his on my arms.

When we come back up for air, he pulls me close as the water drips from our skin. 

I play with his beautiful gift that he had put on my neck. The pearl was perfectly round, and smooth. And stunning.

Just like our love.
