𝟙. Boat trip

     HOT BREATHS SLAPPED AGAINST Valerie's skin while she laid in comfortable silence with Kelce. Her chest raised while taking in deep breathes and fell once again when she released the air inside of her.

"What are you thinking about, Babe?" Her boyfriend was the first to talk after their heated session. He'd always sense if something was wrong. The smallest frown or the change of colour in her eyes would concern him.

"Nothing." She hummed back in response while staring up at the ceiling.

Kelce and Valerie have been dating for a total of two years now, maybe a bit over two years. It went from teenage romance to love that was slowly repeating itself. It was like being locked in a colourful room that lost its key in order to explore the rest of the house.

Don't get her wrong, she loved Kelce with all her heart, but something deep down inside of her  screamed for a firework to finally spread across the sky. She needed to feel that rush of adrenaline again just like she did the first time he had taken her out on a date.

"Topper wants us to come by." He spoke up, releasing her from her thoughts. "Might take the boat out for a spin, go swimming. What do you think?"

She couldn't help the sigh escaping her mouth, already giving Kelce a sign that she found no joy in hanging out with his friends once again. She's been stuck with them almost all summer. Her friends- the pogues, once again were on an adventure. And she, once again... was stuck with her boyfriend who hated her friends.

She can't blame them though, John B and Sarah were alive. At least that's all she know of. Although, she wasn't sure if they are trying to find them or if they were chasing after something else.

"Sure, I guess." She gave in, not wanting the waste the rest of her summer laying in bed and sulking all day. A smile tugged on Kelce's face before he placed a small kiss on the top of her head and rushed out of bed to the bathroom.

The small smile on Valerie's face faded once Kelce disappeared into the other room. She got up from the bed and got once again dressed up. She put on a black bikini before throwing a loose grey shirt over it. She wasn't bother to put on some shorts since the shirt reached her thighs. She put her hair up in a messy bun for now and made sure to take off the remaining make up off of her face, revealing the gentle freckles that spread across her nose and cheeks.

"How you doin' Val?" Topper smiled, reaching out for her hand to help her onto the boat. She took his hand and once both of her feet touched the boat ground she pulled away from him, making sure to give him a small smile as a thank you for the help. She usually wouldn't be this kind with other guys but since Topper was her boyfriend's best friend, there probably wouldn't be any drama or jealousy.

"Could be better." She muttered, making sure to hide it with a smile. "Where to today?" She watched as the other made their way onto the boat.

"Wherever the waves take us." He chuckled.

Valerie cringed when she noticed the familiar girls making their way to the boat. Britney Newt and Chelsea Williams. The two girls sure had a thing for rich guys with nice boats. If you'd see one of them somewhere, it was already not a question whether the other one was around also. They did literally everything together. Valerie even heard rumours that they'd had threesoms and much worse. No wonder they were here...
