Kendal pulled away slowly, smiling gently up at Shaundi whose eyes were still closed but also smiling. Bringing her hand up to Shaundi's cheek, brushing the pad over her thumb along it as gently as possible. It had been a long time since she had felt like this for someone, and even then she had never felt as strongly as she did now. Kendal would be lying if she said it didn't scare her even just in the slightest but for Shaundi she was willing to push those fears aside and explore wherever the relationship would go. She smiled softly, feeling Shaundi lean into her palm before opening her eyes.

"You're gorgeous." Kendal whispered, her voice cracking a little. Smiling Shaundi leaned down to kiss her before a knock on the door stopped her. Growling Kendal picked Shaundi up off of her so she could get off the bed and answer the door. "What?" She opened the door quickly, expecting Peirce.

"Yo, thought we were gonna deal with them yellow mother fuckers today?" Gat raised an eyebrow looking past Kendal and seeing Shaundi sitting on the bed. "Peirce said you were busy, didn't mention you were 'gettin' busy'" He laughed punching Kendal in the arm.

"Dude, fuck off if were gonna do this then go get my car I'll meet you out front." She punched him back before smiling.

"Ya, ya try not to take too long. I'm in the mood to shoot the shit outta some dumb asses. I ain't gonna wait for you to get your grove on." He grabbed a few guns as he headed up the stairs and out of the hide out.

"God he's an ass sometimes." She turned to face Shaundi only to be surprised by the shorter girl who wrapped her arms around her neck and pulled her close for a long, passionate kiss in which she eventually returned after the initial shock wore off.

"Ya he can be, but he's your best friend." Shaundi smiled as Kendal licked her lips. "And I know he'll have your back and make sure you come back, hopefully with only a few bullet wounds." Kendal's only reply was the roll of her eyes before she hugged the shorter girl to her tightly for a few seconds and letting go to kiss her forehead.

"When I come back, what do you say we try going on a date?"

"Um is that really the safest thing to do after stealing from the Ronin?" Shaundi obviously knew what it was they were going to do. She had listened to Peirce rehearse his plan at least 50 times before he tried to pitch it to Gat and the Boss before getting turned down. She knew how Kendal and Gat did things and she wasn't gonna try and change anything about it, she would just hope that Kendal would always come back and not end up in the hospital.

"I'll change my cloths and we'll take one of my older cars that it's purple or has a Saint's related license plate. We won't wear purple and I'll do something with my hair, no one will even recognize us." She winked before kissing Shaundi's cheek and grabbing her dual pistols off the dresser next to the door. "Think about it, I'll be back later!" She yelled as she ran off toward Gat.

Shaundi rolled her eyes before smiling to herself. Yeah this relationship was gonna be a little bit different but she could already tell it was gonna be fun. She pulled her cell outta her pocket feeling it vibrate from a new text. Opening it she saw it was from "The Boss"

-Gat said he'll bring me back in one piece as long as I don't kill us with my driving first. I'll see you when I get back girlfriend ;)

She couldn't help but laugh, it was sweet to know that they probably hadn't even pulled out of the parking lot yet and Kendal wanted her to know she was thinking of her. Definitely different from all the guys she had dated before who had only text her when they wanted drugs or sex. Chewing her bottom lip she typed her reply before hitting send.

Seeing her phone light up from the cup holder Kendal smiled figuring it was Shaundi.

"Dude really?" Gat raised an eyebrow while he cleaned his gun and loaded the extra clips he had sitting in his lap.

"Hey I don't bag on you when it comes to Ish so piss off for a second." She glared him playfully, daring him to continue.

-He better or I'll have to kick both your asses. Next time try calling me 'baby' instead of girlfriend I might like it better :P. Oh an just so you know I'm so changing your contact name to 'Kenny' ;)

Rolling her eyes she couldn't help but smile as she read the message. Within an hour Shaundi had given her a reason to wanna go back to the hide out after missions, a reason to actually carry her phone with her and a reason to smile for no reason. Ya she could get used to this. Before she knew it they had arrived at the casino and Gat was jumping outta the car yelling something about "Pussy bitches with swords bout to eat my lead." And just like that she was in mission mode and ready to take on the Ronin for her Saint's her best friend and her girl.
