Chapter 141
That night was harder than the last as Valkyrie desperately wanted to hold her girlfriend, but there was no chance of that happening so long as Nadia's friends were there. They still had two more nights with them visiting, which was the first thought in her head when she woke that morning.
She groaned to the sound of the girls getting ready and scrunched her eyes in protest. A moment later she felt a hand on her stomach and opened one eye to see Nadia smiling down at her. She smiled back and rolled into Nadia's body, hugging her.
"Eww," Lian said flatly from her position in front of a mirror. Nadia threw a pillow at her and ruined her friends make up.
There was a small scuffle which led to Valkyrie abandoning Nadia and going to her own room because it was far too loud in there. She took her time getting ready and got downstairs after the others. She and Nadia kissed and then it was onto business.
"I want to go to the beach today," Dhiya was telling the others. "Erskine said it was the last good day of the year!"
Valkyrie nodded. "Have you ever been cliff diving?"
The girls looked at her like she was crazy. "What?" Dhiya asked.
"Cliff diving. Me and my friends did it all the time when we were kids. I grew up on the coast. And if it's going to be good weather, we might as well."
It took a little while to convince them, but after they realised there was going to be a sandy beach only a little way up the coast and Dexter got enthusiastic and agreed to go also, it was a breeze. They got themselves ready once more, Valkyrie instructed the girls on how to dress – not in small bikinis – and they covered up, they got in the car.
Valkyrie and Dexter drove two separate cars down to Haggard but drove past it to an area about ten minutes away to have the sandy beach nearby. They parked, got out towels and went down to the beach.
"It's lovely today," Nadia commented from Valkyrie's side.
Valkyrie smiled at her. "It's alright. Are you ready to jump from a cliff?"
"Nope."
"You're going to do it."
"Nope."
"Yes, you are."
"Nope."
"Repeating the same word isn't going to help you. It's still happening," Valkyrie informed her. "Also, that bikini was an awful decision."
"I like my bikini and again, I'm not jumping so it doesn't matter what I'm wearing. Do you not like it?"
"Let me check." She stared at Nadia's boobs and Nadia started laughing. "I like it."
"Stop it!" Nadia laughed. "You're so embarrassing."
"You love it," Valkyrie grinned, hugging Nadia. "But seriously, you're going to lose that bikini the moment you hit the water."
Nadia just rolled her eyes and pushed her away to help her friends with the blankets. Dexter appeared next to her on the rock a little way from the others.
"So," he grinned.
"What?" She asked, eyes narrowing.
"Nothing, nothing," he said, not hiding his giant grin in the least. "I just happened to notice that you and Nadia are especially touchy feely today."
"Mm-hm," Valkyrie hummed, looking out to sea.
"And you were like that yesterday evening too."
"Yep."
