       It was a few weeks later since me and Lo'ak kissed. We never mentioned it again. I was bummed out that he wouldn't talk about it, almost as if it meant nothing. Nonetheless, we had gotten closer over the few weeks, becoming close friends. I still had feelings for him, but I wasn't sure if he still had feelings for me or if he even had any, to begin with.

      I thought the kiss meant something, it definitely did to me. The kiss was warm and welcoming. It was full of desire, and want. I felt a spark as soon as my lips touched his. His hands cupped my pink-tinted cheeks, my arms wrapping around his neck. I wanted that kiss to last forever.

     How could I not still have feelings for him, he was perfect. He was also always touchy with me, which I loved since my love language was physical touch. He would always be touching me, either with a hand wrapped around my waist or his tail wrapped around my thigh or leg. I think I was in love with him, every time his golden eyes looked into my ocean-blue ones my heart would skip a beat. His touch made my face turn pink.

The Sully kids were learning really well, they were quick learners, except for Lo'ak, who would need multiple tries before he got something. Ao'nung had apologized to me and lo'ak. He told me he was sorry for not acting like himself and was just worried for my safety, at the time not trusting them. Ao'nung was now friends with the whole family.

Kiri and I became closer than ever, we were practically sisters. This sometimes made my sister upset, but I always assured her that we'd always be sisters, and I'd always love her. Tsireya had recently taken a liking to Neteyam, I supported it because it was true what she told me a few weeks ago, it was only 2 years, 1 year, and 4 months if you were being specific. It seems Neteyam took a liking to her as well, I would catch them staring at each other, smiling like idiots, and I'd tease them whenever I got the chance.

      Over the few weeks of them staying there, the Sully family grew to love me, at least I thought it was love. Neytiri grew fond of me, often inviting me to have dinner with them, accepting every time. Neytiri had always been Lo'ak and I's number one fan, smiling when she saw us together, and teasing us. She told me amazing tales of how her and Jake fell in love, I'd always be fascinated.

      I also grew to love the Sully family. I loved Neteyam like an older brother, I always talked to him about Lo'ak, knowing Ao'nung would get protective. Tuk was like a younger sister to me, she and I would always make jewelry together, and braid each other's hair, Jake felt like a father, of course, I still loved my own father, but Jake was like a second father, a more laid-back father. Lo'ak was nothing like a relative to me, he was my love interest, the person I wanted to be with.

We were currently sitting on a rock while lo'ak was explaining the experience he had with Payakan a few weeks ago, the sounds of waves crashing silently. Ao'nung asked him what had happened to him after he left him, which started the whole explanation, Lo'ak didn't tell anyone until now, because he finally trusted all of us. I also didn't tell anyone, respecting Lo'ak's wishes.

"I wish I was there," Kiri looked at her brother in admiration, "The ocean blessed you with a gift, brother," She was sitting across from Lo'ak while I was on his right, Tsireya on my right and Neteyam next to her, Ao'nung was leaning against a tree, Rotxo crouched down next to Kiri and Tuk crouched down at a rock. Lo'ak had his tail around my waist while speaking. Our friends stopped teasing us about it because it was tiring since he did it every time we were together.
