Ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ ５

He jumped up and walked a couple steps away. "I-I don't know. It's just you were so... devastated and sad. I'm so sorry, I can leave, or you can punch me or whatever Foster. I deserve it."

Keefe. Keefe Sencen being awkward? That was a first. But was nice to see him like that, not hiding behind his jokes and pranks. Then it hit her, I just kissed Keefe. I JUST KISSED KEEFE SENCEN!!!!!

However, Sophie didn't react the way Keefe, or she, imagined. She simply got up, walked over to Keefe, got on her tippy-toes, and kissed him again. It was Keefe's turn to ask the sly question, "What was that?" Sophie just gave Keefe a tight hug and Keefe couldn't help but be overjoyed. He couldn't wish for anything better.

"I'm just glad you came. I needed to talk to someone about it and, the first person that came to mind was you."

"Hey, anytime Foster. You know where to find me." The moment felt surreal. After a while of standing and hugging, Sophie asked if Keefe would like to come inside.

"I've been so focused on telling you what happened, I forgot to be a good hostess," she laughed. A genuine laugh. She, or Keefe, nor anybody else for that matter, had not heard it in a while. Noticing, they both looked at each other, and started laughing. And, being as clumsy as she is, trips over her own feet. Luckily, Keefe was there... to fall with her. This made them laugh even harder. They were rolling around, tearing up because of their laughter. Finally, Keefe got up and helped Sophie up. Once she was standing, she noticed they were filthy. She transmitted to Keefe, We need to get cleaned up. Just look at us! She started walking, and then Keefe came up behind her and scooped her up bridal style. A small yelp! escaped her mouth as Keefe scooped her up.

"Wouldn't want you to get hurt, now would we?" Sophie looked up at him with a mock pout on her face.

"I can walk on my own, put me down!" she wailed. Keefe laughed. A real laugh from him too, Sophie realized.

"The mud all over you, says otherwise. Are you sure you want to walk all by yourself?" he smirked. Sophie could see the warmth in his eyes. It made her feel all nice and sappy.

"Someone's in luh-ove!" Keefe beamed. "I wonder who... Foster, care to say?"
