S.O.S Scenes

A Bet

Adira and Ammon finally arrive at the bottom of the plateau. They look at each other with the same thought in their minds: make the climb a competition. 

"Race you to the top?" Adira says with a playful tone.

"Obviously. But, I wanna raise the stakes a little bit." He tells her. SHe cocks her head to the side, ready to take whatever challenge he offers on.

"Go for it." She says. He smiles at her and leans against the wall of the plateau.

"If I make it to the top before you do, you owe me a kiss." He states. Adira nods and prepares his counter offer. 

"And, I make it to the top, you have to admit I'm superior in everything." She says, suppressing a smirk. He nods in agreement.

"Fair enough. I guess let's get to it." Both get into their climbing positions, their focus solely on the route they have to take to make it to the top. 

"Ready, go." Adira says. The moment she says that, Ammon starts climbing. To try and gain some coverage, Adira jumps as high as she could and starts climbing. The race was close, neither pulling too far ahead of the other. Adira was starting to lose Ammon, so she looked for a way to gain some height. She firmly positioned her feet on a little ledge and pushed herself up. She tried gripping onto another ledge, both one of her hands slipped, causing her to fall a few feet. Her yelp of panic caught Ammon's attention.

"Are you okay?" He asks, looking down to her. She was dangling on the edge, her one arm being the only thing keeping her from falling.

"I'm fine." She yells to him. He smiles and continues climbing before she could get a chance to get herself stable. Quietly, she swore under her breath as she watched him climb to the top. She regained herself and finished her climb. When she got to the top, Ammon started laughing at her.

"Come on Adira, what did you think was going to happen? Cheaters never win." He teases. She briskly walks up to him and punches the smile off his face.

"Were you really just going to leave me there?" She yells. 

"No, you have the food." He smiles and backs away from her both she could hit him again. 

"You no good-"

"It's your own fault you got in that position Ra. Don't forget, you owe me." He stares at her mockingly. She rolls her eyes, grabs him the the collar of his shirt, and plants a kiss on his lips. His eyes widen in shock. He never would have expected this to happen. This kiss was everything he was expecting: perfect. He leans into it, wanting more and slowly, but confidently, wraps his arms around her waist. She loosens her grip on his shirt, melting into the kiss. Why was she liking it? Before they could do something they'd regret, Adira backs away. 

"I said a kiss, no more." She says, the hint of a smile lingering on her lips. He stared at her lips for a moment before nodding.

"That was the agreement." He agrees. She smiles at him before looking at the horizon.

"We aren't that far. Maybe a day's walk at most, but we should get going before it gets dark."
