Better Late Than Never
“This has been the best weekend ever.”
“Yeah,” Kelly said, pulling on her boyfriend’s gray hoodie
that was more dress than jacket on Kelly’s small frame.
“Hurry. The guys are waiting in the car. We have to check
out at the main lodge by eleven a.m. and that’s like… ten minutes from now.”
Brittany shoved her trademark stocking cap on her head, backwards as usual and
snatched the cabin keys off the table before taking one more glance around.
“Got everything? Let’s go.”
She waited by the door. Kelly stood rooted inside the
now-dark cabin. Brittany looked at her. “Kel?
What’s up? You ready?”
Kelly looked like she wanted to say something, but she
continued to just stare at Brittany with a strange expression on her face.
“Kelly? Are you okay?”
Brittany’s words seemed to snap Kelly out of whatever funk
she’d suddenly fallen into and she nodded. Brittany seized the opportunity and
grabbed Kelly’s hand, pulling her toward the door at the same time Brad honked
the car horn.
“Come on! We’ve gotta’ hurry or they’ll charge us for an
extra day. The guys will go ballistic!”
Brittany dropped Kelly’s hand to lock the cabin door and turned to
follow Kelly down the steep staircase to the road where their boyfriends waited
in the car.
Kelly waited for her where the steps ended and broken
concrete paved the rest of the way. As
Brittany drew along side, Kelly grabbed her hand and pulled her close, pressing
her soft lips against Brittany’s, whose opened in surprise.
“I wanted to do that since the moment I met you,” Kelly
whispered.
Brittany looked at Kelly in shock before turning her back to
the waiting car of boys and pulling Kelly into her arms, kissing her with
abandon.
“Then what took you so fucking long?” she whispered,
pretending she didn’t hear the sound of two car doors opening behind her.
Nice one. Love, love, love it.

ReplyDeleteThanks Deidre. Think it's funny we both saw a cabin.
DeleteFantastic! I'm picturing the look on the guy's faces. :D
ReplyDeleteRight? I wasn't so 'into' this part of the story. The real plot bunny for me is still sitting in the car. Ha.
