Never Not You

Date pt.1

With both of them dressed and ready to go, Leah led Aurora to the car. As they settled in, Leah started the engine and placed her hand on Aurora's lap. Aurora, unable to resist, began to play with Leah's fingers, tracing gentle patterns along her palm.

"Come on, Le," Aurora coaxed, her voice full of playful curiosity. "Where are we going? What are we doing?"

Leah glanced over at her with a smirk, finding Aurora's attempts to get her to spill the details both adorable and amusing. "You'll see," she replied, her tone teasing.

Aurora pouted slightly, but continued to try, lightly squeezing Leah's hand. "Just a hint?"

Leah shook her head, her smile never fading. "Not a chance."

Aurora sighed dramatically, though the smile on her face betrayed her enjoyment of the mystery. She leaned back in her seat, still fiddling with Leah's fingers as they drove, anticipation buzzing between them as Leah kept the day's plans a secret.

When they finally parked, Aurora looked around, puzzled. "You brought me to a car park, Leah? There's nothing here."

Leah rolled her eyes, amused. "Obviously, I didn't bring you to a car park, idiot. We have to walk because there's no parking where we're going."

Aurora playfully scolded her, "Did you just call me an idiot?"

Leah laughed as Aurora huffed, turning on her heel and striding away from the car—completely in the wrong direction.

Leah called out, trying to hold back her laughter, "You're going the wrong way!"

Aurora stopped, turned around, and walked back toward Leah. As she passed by, she said with mock seriousness, "I knew that, obviously."

Leah grinned, taking Aurora's hand and leading her in the right direction, both of them smiling.

As they walked, Aurora couldn't resist trying to pry the details out of Leah. She started with questions, asking in a soft, coaxing voice, "So, where exactly are we going?"

Leah just smiled and shook her head, staying silent. Aurora then leaned in closer, pressing small, teasing kisses to Leah's neck, hoping to weaken her resolve. "Just a hint?" she murmured against Leah's skin.

Leah chuckled, still holding firm. "Nice try."

Not giving up, Aurora cuddled into Leah's side as they walked, her arm wrapping around Leah's waist, her head resting on her shoulder. "Come on, Bebe, tell me where we're going," she pleaded, her voice sweet and playful.

Leah's resolve finally began to crack under Aurora's affection. With a sigh and a small laugh, she relented, "We're going to a few different places. That's why we had to park here—so we can get to all of them."

Aurora lifted her head and looked up at Leah, not fully satisfied but knowing that was all she was going to get for now. "Fine," she said, a mix of amusement and acceptance in her tone. "But I'll keep trying."

Leah smiled, pulling Aurora closer as they continued their walk.

As they walked, Leah's arm was still wrapped around Aurora. When they spotted the sign for crazy golf, Aurora suddenly stopped and turned to Leah, fake-complaining, "Leah, you know I'm terrible at golf!"

Leah laughed, finding Aurora's protest adorable. "It's crazy golf, babe. It's different."

Aurora shook her head, unconvinced. "Same thing—you hit the ball into the hole, do you not?"
