"Are we there yet?" Wynonna was stumbling over some loose rocks for the hundredth time. Her whole body was aching and she was sweaty and smelly which just added to her annoyance.
"Wynonna you've been asking the same question since we started this hike." Came the frustrated reply from the red-head in front of her. Nicole didn't know how a romantic hike with her girlfriend turned into this. Wynonna hated nature and they were definitely too far away from any pub to maintain the heir's alcohol level. She just wanted some alone time with her girlfriend, was that too much to ask for.
Waverly almost felt sorry for both women walking behind her...almost. Nicole had surprised her with the idea of this getaway. Would she have preferred a weekend in a spa? Most certainly! That's why this had been the perfect opportunity to get her sister and Nicole to bond. They would go to the spa alone and enjoy their time together cuddled up in soft wardrobes, just the two of them. But now Nicole and Wynonna definitely needed some time together. They have been at each other's throats for the past weeks and it was really getting on her nerves. They really needed this. All three of them.
"Wynonna we are there when we are there. The..."
Her sister interrupted her "I swear to god if you are going to say the journey is the destination, I am going to jump off this cliff right now."
The younger Earp rolled her eyes. She was totally going to say that but instead just sighed and decided to ignore her sister. She focused her attention on their surroundings. They have been hiking for about four hours and the landscape was beautiful. They started their journey early in the morning, which meant that they got to witness a beautiful sunrise. Now they were making their way up another hill where they would yet again experience another great panorama of the countryside. Oh how she loved the summer time in Purgatory! It made everything glow in a golden light.
She turned around to her companions and said "Once we've reached the top I promise we will take a break."
Wynonna replied sarcastically "Already? It's only been 15 hours."
Nicole sighed "Shut up Wynonna."
The heir mumbled something under her breath which was certainly not a compliment. Waverly chose to ignore the interaction between her two favourite people and focused on their surroundings.
After twenty minutes they reached the top. Wynonna immediately collapsed to the ground and searched her backpack for something to drink.
Nicole walked past her and muttered "Well that's a bit dramatic."
"The only thing dramatic is your face"
"Wow that was bad even for your standards."
"I know I am tired and haven't had anything to drink today, I am not at the top of my insult game."
The younger woman just continued to walk past her, to her girlfriend who was standing at the edge of the cliff to enjoy the view they had up here. She wrapped her arms around the smaller woman from behind and rested her head on her shoulder.
Waverly leaned back into the embrace and closed her eyes. The air smelled of Nicole's sweet perfume. When she opened her eyes again she asked "Isn't this wonderful?"
She felt the cop nod "It's perfect."
Their moment was interrupted by Wynonna's cheering "I found the booze!"
Nicole rolled her eyes "Well almost perfect." They stayed like this for a little while longer until the too decided to sit down and rest a bit.
The officer put her gigantic backpack down and pulled two water bottles out of it. She handed one to Waverly who gratefully accepted the offered bottle. They sat together on a tree trunk enjoying the cool liquid quenching their thirst.
The heir had already downed a good portion of the booze in her hand. She looked blissfully happy to have finally found the alcohol she had packed.
"Wynonna you should really drink some water; you have been sweating a lot."
"Thank you, detective smarty pants but I think I am going to stick to my special kind of water."
The officer rolled her eyes. It would be a miracle if the heir survived this trip.
"Come on guys, I am sure you can get a long for five minutes."
"Well that's up to Mc Haughtie over there."
The red-haired woman sighed but chose to ignore the older Earp for the sake of her girlfriend. Just a couple of days and their ways would part and she wouldn't have to deal with the annoying heir all day. She could do this!
