wave after wave 🌊 [rini au]

fall ; 31

It was the first time since they had been together that they both woke up to the same alarm; Ricky had always woken up earlier than Nini to get his morning workout in, the only times Nini ever woke up before Ricky did was the week that he was working at the Shipwreck to get in extra cash for the trip to Oahu. As the alarms rang simultaneously from both their phones, Ricky's eyes opened, a groan escaping his body involuntarily, a familiar feeling of fatigue weighing him down. His parents had always said things about how your phone emits radiation and how it's bad for your brain, all that stuff, so unfortunately for him, he had to walk over to the table opposite his bed to turn the damned alarms off. He glanced over at the girl lying beside him, who had her pillow over her head in an attempt to shut off the noise. Ricky's eyes skimmed over her bare back and was awakened to the fact that he had also slept with no clothes on. The buy hurriedly tugged on last night's pair of surfer shorts that were strewn on the floor, ran to switch off both alarms — he made sure to check that he didn't accidentally snooze them, not wanting another round of blaring noises in eight minutes time.

Nini sighed in satisfaction as silence filled the room, emerging from under the pillow. She tucked herself under the covers instinctively, eyes still closed as she fell back asleep almost immediately. Ricky took the opportunity to take a photo of her sleeping, again, wanting to remember their first special night together. "Nins, time to wake up, we gotta go hiking this morning," Ricky called out to her as he began to pack a bag for their morning out, still only clad in his surf shorts, yet to put a shirt on. At the reminder that they were going hiking, she popped out of bed, the blanket adhering to gravity's laws, exposing her unclothed self. She picked the nightgown off the floor, it was the nearest cloth she could reach, and quickly slipped it on, covering her goods up. Ricky turned back to check if she was up, the girl hadn't acknowledged him yet, or so made a sound. He was met with the sight of his girlfriend standing near the bed, dressed in a gown far too short for the morning, made worse because her arms were stretched up and out. When she let her arms fall back down beside her, she caught him staring and threw him a flirty wink, "Like what you see?" A smirk grew on his face; if she wanted to tease him, then two could play this game. "I think I liked last night's view better," He taunted as he played with the hem of her gown with one hand, the other resting on her barely covered bum. Her breath was caught in her throat and Ricky smiled victoriously, "I'd love to do this all day but I wanna go hiking as well so get your sexy ass changed right now. Birthday boy's orders." She shot him a glare, almost admitting defeat when an idea popped into her mind. She took the clothes out of her bag: a bikini inside because they were going to go swimming after the hike to the waterfall, tights and a cute little cropped top. Ricky watched her, he planned to kiss her on her way to the bathroom. But, instead, he watched as she slipped the gown off and stepped into her bikini bottoms. The girl acted as if it was normal to change in front of him, taking her time to take the strings of her bikini top. She walked over to him, looking down as she fiddled with the strings, "Babe, can you help me tie up the back?" Nini would usually do up the know in front before maneuvering it to the back, but she decided that it didn't look attractive. Plus, it was a good opportunity to win him at his own game. She would have emerged victorious at her own game if Ricky would have taken his time and ran his hands over her back and- All he did was quickly tie it up, press a quick kiss to her cheek and stalked off to the kitchen to make breakfast. Damn it, he always won.

She wrapped her arms around his waist when she was finally dressed, pressing her cheek into his topless back, enjoying the feel of their skin contact. The curly-haired boy dragged her along with him to the fridge to take out the fruits and coconut water for smoothies, Nini laughing at how they were waddling like penguins. She finally released him when breakfast was all prepared, but her arms quickly found his neck as she pulled him down to kiss her. Her hands fiddled with the cool metal chain around his neck, lips still connected with his as he lifted her up, placing her on the kitchen counter. His hands rested on her thighs as he continued to kiss her, seemingly forgetting about breakfast. They were gasping for oxygen when they finally separated from each other; Ricky went back into the room to put a shirt on and finish packing while Nini bottled the smoothies and wrapped the sandwiches to go. They ate on the drive there, Nini feeding Ricky as he took the wheel. Her head was lost in the clouds, wondering how she garnered so many brain cells in the morning to play that game of tease with Ricky, until she felt him grab her arm to manually lift the sandwich into his mouth — the poor guy was hungry for some real food after that intense workout last night.
