Review:
He turned off the light, before crawling into bed beside her. Resting a hand on the side of her face, he smiled softly at her closed eyes, and peaceful expression. "Goodnight Orihime."
The next morning, Wednesday
Opening her eyes to the sunlight coming in through the room, Orihime blinked a few times, before she yawned. Feeling Ichigo's arm slip around her then, she smiled when she felt his lips on hers. When he pulled back, she opened her eyes to look at him. "Good morning."
"It is indeed," Ichigo replied, before kissing her again.
It didn't take much for their kisses to grow heated. When Orihime felt Ichigo's hand slide from her waist to under the covers, she had to stop. "I can't this morning," she said, her hands resting lightly on his chest. "I'm tired and I'm sore."
Raising an eyebrow, Ichigo moved back so he was more on his side beside her, instead of from where he had been himself up over her. "We didn't do much yesterday, just walk around the town."
Orihime smiled, and nodded. "I know, and I'm sorry. I guess it's just a mixture from my pregnancy, and yesterday morning before room service," she said, her smile widened at the thought. "I didn't really feel it yesterday, but I'm really feeling it this morning."
Ichigo reached his hand up, and ran his fingers through her hair. "If you're not up for it you don't have to apologize," he said, finding himself smiling just by seeing her smile. "So what do you want for breakfast?"
At the topic change, Orihime pushed herself to sitting up. "I don't really know what I want yet," she said, stretching her arms above her head, before moving to push the sheet and comforter off of her. Getting up she crossed the room to the bathroom.
She came back out a few minutes later, and Ichigo looked up from where he had grabbed his phone. "There's a breakfast place not too far from here called Tsunami. We could go eat there."
"That's fine with me," Orihime said, walking back over to the bed. She got in bed, and slipped back under the covers. Laying back, she snuggled her head against the soft pillows, and closed her eyes.
"Orihime," Ichigo said slowly, before crossing his arms. "This kind of requires us to have to get up and leave the condo."
"I just want to stay in bed for a little while longer," Orihime mumbled against the pillow, not opening her eyes.
Not arguing with that, Ichigo set his phone back on the bedside table, before turning back to her. Laying down beside her, he wrapped his arm loosely around her, and just watched her peaceful face.
An hour and a half later
Finishing putting on her brown rope sandals, Orihime's eyes crossed the room to the floor length mirror. She was dressed in a basic white tank top, and a exotic printed maxi skirt. The skirt was mainly red, but had big blue, green, yellow, and white flowers spaced out on it. She wore a red flower necklace, and a thick brown woven bracelet on her wrist. Her hair left down, and her bangs clipped back with a red flower clip.
Walking out of the bedroom, she pulled the straps of her white bag up onto her shoulder. Her eyes going to Ichigo who had looked over to her.
"Ready to go?" He asked, standing up from the couch.
Orihime yawned before nodding. "Uh huh."
Raising an eyebrow, Ichigo approached her, and rested his hand on the side of her face. "Are you sure? I have a feeling you might fall asleep in the car before we get there."
"I'm fine," Orihime replied, yawning once again, before she shook her head. "Honest. Let's go."
Laughing, Ichigo followed Orihime to the door. "Alright, but I need to know something before we go."
"What would that be?" Orihime asked, pausing with her hand on the door.
"Should I wake you up if you do end up falling asleep?" Ichigo asked, before grinning. "I'm asking because the answer will keep me from getting punched later."
"Ichigo," Orihime said, shaking her head at him, before opening the door and walking out. Not responding to his question, because even if she did, it wouldn't be heard over his laughter. He's certainly in the mood to tease me this morning.
Twenty five minutes later
Getting out of the car, Orihime studied the building. It was a light cream color with white stripes across the second floor of the building. It had a screened in porch with tables to eat outside. This certainly is an interesting building. She thought, as they walked inside. They went and sat down, and a waitress came up to them a moment later.
"What can I start you two out with to drink?" The waitress asked.
"I'll have orange juice," Ichigo said, his hands already on the menu.
Orihime just sighed, and thought for a moment. "I'll have a chocolate milkshake. But, I want half coffee, half chocolate. Then I want lots of whip cream on it."
The waitress laughed, as she nodded. "That's a great way to start of the morning, I would love one of those now."
When the waitress walked away, Ichigo raised an eyebrow at Orihime. "Caffeine and sugar? This will be a great day already."
"Don't make fun Ichigo. I'm exhausted, and I need something to give me energy," Orihime said, picking up her menu to start looking for what she wanted.
"Okay, but just so you know, after this milkshake, I'm cutting you off from coffee. If you want caffeine get a soda or something. You can't drinking so much coffee," Ichigo said, grinning at Orihime's eye roll.
"Yeah, yeah," Orihime started, already picking up on smells from the restaurant, and it was influencing what she was craving already. "I only got half coffee in the milkshake. That's not even that much."
"Including the first full day we had here, you had a lot of coffee that day, and I'm supposed to be monitoring you," Ichigo said, his grin still stretched across his face. "I promised your doctor."
"You and my doctor are completely against me, and that drives me crazy," Orihime said, smiling at the sound of Ichigo's laughter. The waitress had just came back with their drinks, and she right away sipped at her milkshake. Getting whip cream all over her mouth, but she licked it away with her tongue.
"Do you two know what you want?" The waitress asked.
Ichigo looked to Orihime, smiling at her licking the whip cream off her mouth. She just nodded, and he looked back at the waitress. "Yeah, we're ready."
Setting her milkshake down, Orihime didn't bother looking at the menu. "I'd like a ham, cheese, and spinach omelet. With a side of bacon, grits, and toast."
"And I'd like the biscuits with gravy, and some ham and eggs. Fried," Ichigo added, watching the waitress write down his order.
"Oh," Orihime said, before the waitress could walk away. "And can you add some jalapeños to the omelet and grits?"
The waitress chuckled and nodded. "I can do that."
Orihime noticed Ichigo's raised eyebrow after the waitress walking away, and she just crossed her arms. "What? I'm craving something spicy."
"I'm not judging," Ichigo said, taking a drink from his orange juice. "So as for today, I kind of already planned out some stuff for us to do."
"What do you have in mind?" Orihime asked, putting a straw in her milkshake to keep the whip cream from getting all over her face.
"I reserved spots for us at a spa," Ichigo replied, noticing that took Orihime off guard. "You told me you were sore this morning after all." That made Orihime grin matching Ichigo's look at the reason why she was so sore. Ichigo continued after sipping his orange juice again. "While you were catching up on some more sleep before we left, I called a spa that's not too far from where we are now. We can go after we get done eating here."
"That sounds great," Orihime sipped her milkshake again. "What else do you have planned?"
"I'm not telling you," Ichigo replied, his grin widening at her raised eyebrow. "I keep secrets way better than you do. So you shouldn't bother questioning me until I'm ready to tell you."
Orihime sighed. "Damn. If it weren't for the fact that I know that is true, I'd actually attempt to question you further," she said, laughing lightly as she had some more of her milkshake. Feeling movement inside of her she smiled. "I hope we get our food soon. Baby girl is hungry, and is taking it out on me until she gets what she wants."
An couple hours later
"What are you laughing at?" Ichigo asked, watching Orihime tie the robe the spa had gave them closed. They had just got their massages, and were now leaving the room to be led to another room.
Orihime tried to control her laughter so she could talk to Ichigo, but it took her a good moment. "I just find it funny that the people giving us our massages were talking about how they could tell how stressful our lives are."
"I'm not really surprised though," Ichigo said, his hand going to hers as the continued down the hall. "You're almost always in trouble."
"That's true," Orihime said, laughing some more as they were led into a peaceful room. There were both told to sit in chairs as two new women showed up. Both with bright smiles on their faces. Soon they had their feet in a foot soak, and Orihime was more than happy that her aching feet were getting some attention.
"So, do you want us to give you a haircut while you're hear?" The women working with Orihime asked.
Orihime shrugs her shoulders, before resting her hands on her baby bump. "Why not?" Was her answer, and the women draped a cape over her to keep the hair from getting all over her. "Just not short."
"We'll judge the length when it comes time to it," the woman said, smiling at Orihime.
Ichigo watched as the woman get the stuff ready to comb then cut Orihime's hair. "How much do you think you want off?"
"I don't know," Orihime said, before thinking about it. "Maybe a few inches."
"Would you like us to give your hair a trim too?" The woman working with Ichigo asked.
"Yeah, I guess it's time I got it cut," Ichigo said, his eyes focused on Orihime. Over the next ten minutes, he had got his hair mostly finished, and Orihime had gotten a lot of her's cut off. Almost to mid-back is where she had ended up deciding, which was a lot considering her hair had gone all the way down her back before. As she was getting her bangs done, he smiled over at her when she looked his way. "It looks good."
"Your's does too," Orihime said, eyeing his new haircut. He had gone for shorter on the sides, and left a little more on top. It looked sharp and new, and it was nice.
"While I put your hair conditioning mask on, would you like your eyebrows done?" The woman asked Orihime.
"Definitely," Orihime said, her hands going to her eyebrows. "I need it so bad."
As another woman came over to do Orihime's eyebrows, the one who had finished with Ichigo's hair, had just finished up. "Are you up for a face mask and getting a pedicure?"
Ichigo raised an eyebrow, and looked to Orihime. "What am I asking for if I say yes?"
"They'll just do a exfoliating face mask, and then the pedicure is just them shaping your toe nails. Not that big of a deal," Orihime replied, before the woman doing her eyebrows had did a strip between her eyes. "Ow."
Ichigo, who had agreed to the mask and pedicure, had laughed hearing Orihime say ow. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, the start is always the worst," Orihime replied, having to resist the urge to itch the area around her eyebrows that the woman was waxing. When the woman was finished Orihime right away had scrunched her eyes a bit to try and stretch out the area around her eyebrows.
Ichigo laughed at the faces Orihime was making. "Those expressions are really attractive Orihime."
"Why thank you Ichigo," Orihime said, raising her hand to rub the area in-between her eyebrows. "I try so hard."
Laughing again, Ichigo turned his head back towards the woman doing the face mask on him, so she could finish.
"Facemask and mani/pedi right?" The woman asked Orihime.
Orihime smiled and nodded. "That's right. I've already got a polish in mind."
An hour and a half later, two o'clock
Eyeing her hands to look at her manicure, Orihime smiled at them. She got a baby pink color on every nail except her thumbs and ring fingers. Those were painted a pretty bright red color. "That was so nice and relaxing."
"It was," Ichigo agreed, pulling in front of the resort. Getting out, he gave the keys to the valet, before moving around the car to Orihime. Taking Orihime's hand, as they walked to the front of the resort. "So are we going to the beach today?"
"Let's just go ahead and go now," Orihime said, as they walked into the lobby. "We're already down here, so we might as well."
With that decided they crossed the lobby, and left out the back. Once they were out on the beach, Orihime pulled a small plastic bag out of her purse. "Let's look for some shells for Yuzu, and see if there are some that Karin might like," she said, before they walked a little further down the beach. Finding a spot with a lot of shells, they started to collect some that caught their eyes. She was having more trouble bending down, and standing back up straight.
"Yuzu would like these," Ichigo said, after collecting a handful of shells. Showing Orihime an array of pretty white and beige shells, before he put them in the plastic bag. Seeing a small pool of water with a jelly fish in it, he laughed. "Karin would love it if we brought home that jelly fish for her. She'd love it because it stings and causes people pain."
"Ichigo," Orihime said, shaking her head, as she laughed at his picking on of his sister.
Ichigo joined her laughter, as they continued their shell search. "So," he started after walking a bit further down the beach. "The plan I have for later. I think it'd be nice if we ate together tonight, just you and I. We haven't really done that since the first night here."
"Are you ready to tell me where you have in mind?" Orihime asked, taking a break from squatting down, as she propped a hand on her hip.
"I was thinking the restaurant at the top of the resort," Ichigo said, picking up another shell. Standing up, he put it in the plastic bag with the others.
Orihime turned then. Her eyes looking in the direction back towards the resort. They had walked a good distance away, but she could still see it. Focusing on the restaurant that towered three floors over the last floor of the condo's. Looking back to Ichigo, she nodded. "That sounds good. I've been wanting to try it." She looked down at the sand, and saw a shell that caught her interest. However when she moved down to pick it up, she felt herself losing her balance again.
Noticing this, Ichigo reached over to help her balance, but ended up down on the sand with her. Just as the tide came in, and soaked them from the waist down. Sharing a look with Orihime they both started cracking up laughing. Managing to settle his laughter after a second wave of water came, he moved, and helped her stand up.
When they were both standing, Orihime looked down after catching her breath. "It looks like my water broke," she said, laughing again. "Well at least I'm getting prepared."
"And I'm the supportive boyfriend who does everything in his power to help you be prepared," Ichigo said, grinning at Orihime's laughter. "Same time tomorrow?" That just made Orihime laughed harder, as he joined her.
A few hours later, 6:30 PM
Walking into the living room, Orihime's hands smoothed down her dress over her baby bump. She was wearing a white dress that fell a little above her knees, that had white lace long sleeves. A gold feather necklace, with a matching gold feather bracelet, and her gold arrow bracelet. Her earrings in her second hole were gold arrow studs, and the ones in her first hole were dangling white feather earrings.
"You look beautiful as always," Ichigo complimented, walking out of the kitchen to meet her. His eyes went to her earrings. "I didn't notice you had more than one hole for your earrings."
Orihime nodded, as they walked out of their condo. "Yeah, I've had it for a while. I just forget to put earrings in my second hole," she said, as her hand went to her ear after pressing the elevator button. "I'm thinking about getting a third one done. Buy my cartilage instead."
"Isn't that supposed to be painful?" Ichigo asked, raising an eyebrow, as they stepped into the elevator.
"Not so much when getting it done, but it can be pretty painful to sleep on. Which makes me want to wait until after I give birth to do it, because I can't sleep on my back now, and if I get both done I wont want to sleep on my sides either," Orihime said, letting her hands drop from her ears, to rest on her baby bump. "It's something Tatsuki and I have been talking about doing together before senior year is over."
"Was this thought about during your criminal activities?" Ichigo asked, grinning at Orihime's look.
"Maybe," Orihime replied, smiling at Ichigo's laughter.
Once they were in the restaurant, Orihime admired the restaurant. The view from the window was magnificent. The beach was so small looking from how high up they were. Looking around the rest of the restaurant, she noted the black iron fences that were used as hall walls to separate the entrance from the restaurant. The railings had green vines and flowers on them, and it was real pretty. The windows were lined in gold, and it stood out against the pearl white colored walls. There were magnificent white and black chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.
"Name?" The hostess asked.
"Kurosaki," Ichigo replied. Watching the hostess check before motioning for them to follow her.
Orihime rested her hand in the crook of Ichigo's elbow as they walked. "You had to get a reservation?"
Ichigo nodded, as he glanced to Orihime. "Apparently this place is pretty good. Even people who don't stay at this resort come here to eat."
Once they were seated in a cozy booth with a view of the ocean, they ordered their drinks, and crab bisque as their appetizer. After the waiter left, that left them looking at their menu's. Orihime's eyes widened looking at the menu. "I have no idea what to get. Half of this stuff I haven't even heard of."
"I know…" Ichigo trailed off, looking around the menu. Finally seeing something, he set his menu down so she could see what he was pointing at. "How about we share this? It's the seafood platter. Served on dirty rice, with shrimp, oysters, calamari, and tilapia fish."
Setting her menu down, Orihime nodded, as she knew that the meal was specifically for two people. "That sounds good. It has a bit of everything in it."
The waiter came back with their drinks, and their crab bisque with a side of crackers. Once the waiter left, Orihime had just tried the crab bisque when she felt kicks inside of her. Humming lowly, she dropped her hand to the area where she receiving the kicks.
Seeing Orihime's uncomfortable expression, Ichigo raised an eyebrow. "You okay?"
"She's moving and kicking a lot right now, that's all," Orihime replied, before sipping on her water.
"Speaking of baby girl," Ichigo started, before eating some of the crab bisque. Chewing first, before he continued. "We really should talk about some things for a moment. After this week, you'll only have another ten weeks before your due date, and we don't really have anything for her yet."
Orihime smiles at that. "Yeah, I don't think she'll be to live with just the little stuffed animal we got her at the New Years Festival," she said, reaching for another cracker. "I was thinking about that the other day. I want to go ahead and get stuff for her, but it's just going to be a lot to think about."
"What do you mean?" Ichigo asked.
"From what Mai has been telling me, there's a lot of stuff we'll be needing to get. It may not seem like it, but she'll be needing a lot," Orihime said, before rubbing her temple. "It's a lot of planning and money that is just a lot to think about."
Ichigo nodded, before crossing his arms, and resting his elbows on the table. "That's why I think we should combine our bank accounts."
That made Orihime pause, holding a cracker with the bisque on it midway to her mouth. Seeing Ichigo raise an eyebrow at her hesitation, she just put the cracker in her mouth, chewed, and then sipped at her water. "Don't think that I don't want to do it. I think it's a great idea. It's just that, I've always been on my own with that kind of stuff since Sora died. It's just a different thing I'm going to have to get used to."
Nodding in understanding, Ichigo was tempted to talk more on that, but as it had to do with her brother, he held off. "It'll be different for both of us. But, I think it's time we start considering this stuff. Because if you want to go out and buy something, it'd make me feel better if I was helping pay for it. Even if it doesn't have anything to do with baby girl, and it's just you buying a smoothie from Alona's."
Orihime smiled. Thinking of her usual strawberry and banana smoothie she'd get from there. "Now I want a smoothie," she said, laughing at the thought of her sudden craving. "I guess we can go ahead and combine our accounts."
"We can figure all that out when we go back home," Ichigo said, noticing Orihime move to sit up straight, and she brought both hands down to her baby bump.
"She's really not planning on settling down in there," Orihime said, feeling like baby girl was having her own little circus inside of her.
Ichigo grinned at the smile Orihime held on her face. "She's probably getting all her energy from that long nap you had after we came back to the condo from the beach."
"Well I'm more energized from it, so she probably is too," Orihime said, before feeling a harsher kick to her ribs. Looking down at her bump, she sighed. "Okay, I get it. You're getting bigger, and it's probably getting a little more cramped in there. But honestly, you kicking my ribcage is not necessary."
Laughing, Ichigo reached across the table, and rested his hand on her baby bump. His eyes focusing on it to. "You're hurting your mom in there you know baby girl? I know that you want to show off your strength, but maybe just not that hard, okay?"
Orihime smiled, and moved her hand to rest on top of Ichigo's hand. Her eyes connecting with his. He's going to be such a good dad. I can already tell.
A few hours later, around ten
Adjusting more to the warm water in her bath, Orihime took a deep breath, and submerged herself all the way under the water to get her hair wet. Running her fingers through her hair under the water, before she came back up. Coming face to face with Ichigo who had been leaning over the tub, and it surprised her. "Ichigo, you scared me," she said, her hand going to the side of the tub, as she felt herself have to take a few steadying breaths.
Ichigo laughed as he straightened up. "I was just checking to make sure you weren't dead."
Rolling her eyes, Orihime smiled. "Don't be so dramatic," she said, before moving her hand to smooth down her hair a bit. "Want to join me?"
Not needing any convincing, Ichigo was already pulling off his shirt. Soon he was sitting beside her in the tub, having just went under water to get his own hair wet. Coming back up, he shook his head a bit to get his hair out of his face, and smiled when the water got on Orihime.
Laughing, Orihime reached her hand up, and pushed his hair out of his face. "This new haircut of yours is great, but you still have just enough hair to splash water on me," she said, before adjusting so she was resting back against the tub, part of her shoulder leaning against his chest. Their legs tangled together in the water.
"I try my hardest to get on your nerves you know," Ichigo said, moving his arms around her, and took in the scent of her hair.
Humming at the peaceful silence, Orihime closed her eyes, and enjoyed being near Ichigo. However, her attention went to other things as she felt his hands start at her waist, and travel downward. Sighing, she smiled as she turned then, her lips finding his, as her hands rested on his chest.
"This morning you were saying you weren't up for this today," Ichigo said in-between Orihime's soft kisses. His hands going to rest on her waist.
"Then we went to the spa, and had a very relaxing day," Orihime told him, as she continued her kisses. "And you were initiating this." Before stopping her talking with a more powerful kiss. However the buzzing of her phone hit her ears. Planning on ignoring it she continued their kisses, but finally after a minute of it's buzzing, she stopped. Sighing, she wiped her hands off on a towel beside the tub, before grabbing her phone.
Ichigo was hardly paying attention to her phone as he spoke. "Who's wanting your attention so badly? Secret boyfriend?"
"Definitely," Orihime replied, smiling as she checked her messages. "Kira wants to know if we want to go to a midnight movie tonight around the rocks."
"That sounds like fun, but only if you're up for it," Ichigo said, finally looking to her face.
"The spa helped me a lot today, so I'll be fine," Orihime replied, before texting Kira back that they'd go. Setting her phone back down, she turned around, and moved back so she was sitting n her knees in-between Ichigo's legs before kissing him again.
Smiling into the kiss, Ichigo's hands moved to rest on her waist again. "Hey, even though you feel okay now, we probably shouldn't push it."
At him stopping his return of her kiss, Orihime just continued her kisses down his jaw line. "I'll be fine Ichigo," she murmured through the kisses. "We have at least an hour before we should start getting ready."
At her clearly good mood, Ichigo smirked, before moving. Carefully adjusting so she was the one sitting back against the tub, before he kissed her. His hands sliding from her waist to explore the rest of her body.
An hour later
Turning on their bed to face Ichigo, Orihime smiled as he tucked her bangs back behind her ear.
"I guess it's about time we get ready if we're going to get there in time for the movie," Ichigo said, feeling her hands rest lightly on his chest. "Are you still feeling up for it?"
Orihime smiled, and moved to kiss him. "I feel better than I did before," she said, before moving to get up. Her feet just barely touched the floor, before she laughed. "We got water all over the floor." Her eyes glanced to the bed then. "And the bed."
"It'll dry," Ichigo said, grinning before he got up as well. Pulling the comforter and sheets back so it'd dry better.
They both got dressed. Orihime in loose shorts, and a lose tank top. Ichigo and shorts and a t-shirt. Orihime had just grabbed her phone when she received a text message. Raising an eyebrow to see it was Yuzu asking if she was awake, she dialed Yuzu's number.
"Who are you calling?" Ichigo asked, grabbing his own phone.
Orihime opened her mouth to respond, but then Yuzu picked up. "Yuzu? What are you doing up? It's got to be around two in the morning there," she said, leaving their bedroom to go out to the living room.
Yuzu: I know that. Karin has me staying up with her to watch a movie. I've decided to do a little crocheting, and was wondering what colors you would like.
Smiling at that, Orihime thought of colors that she liked. "I don't know. Maybe pink, white, purple, or red. I don't know. I don't really have too much of a preference."
Yuzu: That's fine. Thanks Orihime. Guess I'll talk to you later. Maybe not when it's the middle of the night here though.
"Alright Yuzu, don't stay up all night," Orihime replied, before getting off the phone. Walking into the kitchen, she opened the cabinets, and picked out some snacks to bring with them. "Ichigo! Do you want me to pack something to eat for you to?"
"Sure," Ichigo replied, walking out of their bedroom. A couple blankets in hand. "I thought we should bring one to sit on, and one just incase you get cold-" He stopped at the sight of how much food Orihime was packing. "Orihime, you're packing enough food for a whole day."
Orihime just sighed before smiling. "I know. But, I get hungry more during the nighttime. So I figured I might as well be prepared," she said, before noticing his raised eyebrow. "What? Don't judge me okay? I can't begin to tell you just how many times I wake up in the middle of the night starving."
"No judgment," Ichigo replied, as he leaned back against one of the counters to let Orihime take her time.
Almost twenty five minutes later
Ichigo grabbed the bag of food Orihime packed, the blankets, and the jacket he brought before getting out of the car. When Orihime stepped out of the car, she felt the chill of the wind. "It might be colder than we thought it'd be. The winds picking up more since it's night time."
"I have another jacket in the back of the car. I'll bring that for you," Ichigo said, going to the back of the car to get the jacket.
Once they started walking, Orihime smiled at the rocky area as they got closer. It looked a lot different with the night sky, and the occasional light post every hundred feet. "It looks pretty even when it's dark out," she noted at the shadowed rocks around. They had walked past several other parked cars, and finally got to the sandy path that led farther down to the beach. The big screen the movie would be projected on was set up along the side of the mountain of rock, along with several speakers. Plenty of people here, mostly around their age were setting of their blankets and chairs if they brought them.
Ichigo spotted the others first, and they started towards them. Once closer, the others recognized them. "What's up guys?"
"Not much man," Ryuu said, shaking hands with Ichigo in the typical guy handshake, after Ichigo had set his and Orihime's stuff down.
"We were just talking about going down the beach a little to explore before the movie starts," Hayate said, grabbing his hat back from where Keitaro had knocked it off. "Want to go?"
"Yeah man, let's do it," Ichigo said, his eyes going to Orihime who had grabbed his hand.
"Be careful," Orihime murmured softly, smiling as Ichigo had kissed her forehead after nodding. Watching him and the other guys go off for a moment, before looking to the girls. "So what have you girls done all day?"
"Ryuu and I went out to eat this morning, and we planned to go out. However, when we got back to our condo we ended up just staying there for the rest of the day," Kira said, spreading out the blanket she brought on the ground. "I've been kind of achy today, so it was nice to just have a nice relaxing day."
"We went to go play tennis this morning," Kimi said, motioning to Michiko. "It was me and Keitaro against her and Hayate. We played a few games, and it felt so nice to finally get a workout in."
Michiko nodded in agreement with Kimi. "Then we went to the waterhole for the rest of the afternoon."
Kira noticed Orihime raise an eyebrow. "The waterhole is a hangout in the forest for people around our age," she explained, before moving to sit down on the blanket she had spread out on the ground. "What about you Orihime? What did you and Ichigo do today?"
Orihime felt a little bit of a chill, and moved to grab the jacket that Ichigo brought for her. "Well, this morning we went to breakfast, and Ichigo surprised with some time at a spa," she said, smiling at the thought, as she slipped the hoodie on over her head. "Then we came back to the condo, and relaxed a bit after a walk on the beach. Then he took me to dinner at the restaurant at the top of the resort we're staying in."
"That was so sweet of him to do," Kimi said, moving to sit down on her blanket. "Sometimes with Keitaro, it's like he was hit on the head with a brick, which makes it impossible for him to do anything romantic."
That had the other girls laughing, Kira broke the laughter first, as her eyes went to the big screen where they were starting some previews of other movies that were to come out soon. "So the movie we're watching is Divergent. Did any of you read the books? I'm still on the last book."
"I finished the whole series already," Michiko replied first, a smile on her face at the thought.
"I did too," Orihime agreed, before chuckling. "I actually finished it in like three days, including the book 'Four'. It was when I was having to stay at home because I was sick. Whenever I wasn't sleeping or if Ichigo wasn't home, then I would just read."
"I've only read the first book," Kimi said, as she smirked at the other girls looks. "What? I'm not really a reader. I like movies more."
The girls chatted for another few minutes before the guys finally showed back up as the movie was getting closer to starting. Ichigo's eyes noticed Orihime already having put the jacket of his he was letting her use. Wrapping his arms around her, he smiled. "Are you cold still?"
"Just a little," Orihime replied, as she put her hands in the pockets of the hoodie.
Ichigo slipped on is own jacket, before sitting down on the blanket of theirs. Leaning back against one of the few bigger rocks behind him, before motioning for Orihime to come over.
Orihime eased herself to sit down, before letting Ichigo her to where she was sitting in-between his legs. That way she could lean back against his chest, and he could wrap his arms around her. Orihime grabbed the other blanket they brought, and put it over both of their legs, and pulled it up a bit more so she could slip her arms under the blanket. Her eyes focused up on the screen as the movie was about to start. Smiling when she felt Ichigo's hands gently rub the sides of her baby bump. I'm already feeling warmer.
Two and a half hours later
The movie had just ended, and they were all standing up to get ready to go back to their cars. Kimi was walking beside Michiko. Talking about how the movie was great, and that Shailene Woodley and Theo James were perfect in it. It wasn't until they got close to where all the cars were parked, when they paused, and Kimi looked back to Orihime and Kira. "You two haven't said a word since the movie ended."
However, just look at the two gave reason as to why they were so quiet. Kira was standing with the blanket she and Ryuu brought close to her chest, and was yawning. Orihime was beside her, with her blanket wrapped around her still, and was yawning as well.
"Well, you two just look dead on your feet," Kimi said, laughing lightly at the two tired girls.
Michiko nodded, smiling as she propped her hand on her hip. "It looks like you two could go to sleep at any second."
"It's getting late," Kira said, rubbing her eyes a bit. "I'm tired."
"Me too. My energy is gone," Orihime said, yawning again.
"I think it's time to get you back to our condo then," Ryuu said to Kira, his arm wrapping around her.
Ichigo nodded, as he brought both hands to Orihime's shoulders. "I agree. It's definitely time to get them into bed to get some sleep."
"Alright, I guess we'll see you all tomorrow then?" Hayate asked, taking Michiko's free hand.
"Yeah, tomorrow," Keitaro said.
Soon Ichigo was guiding Orihime by her shoulders to their car. Where he had to open her door for her, help her in, and close the door again. Going to his side of the car, he sat down in the seat, and pressed the button to put the roof back up. "I don't want you to freeze while we're on our way home."
"Hm," Orihime hummed, as she put her seatbelt on.
A little over thirty minutes later, they were walking into their condo. Ichigo was holding Orihime's hand to keep her walking, and was unable to help himself from chuckling at her tiredness. "You need to keep your eyes open just a bit longer Orihime," he said, as he locked the door to their condo behind himself.
Orihime hardly acknowledged his words, as she just walked into their bedroom. Pulling off her hoodie, and then her other clothes. She slipped into a nightgown, before going to bed.
Ichigo walked into the room to see her already getting under the covers. Chuckling, he changed as well, before going to open the balcony doors a little. Going to the bed, he climbed in beside her. Barely managing to lay down before she seemed to attach herself to him. "Goodnight Orihime," he said, chuckling at her low hum, before he wrapped his arms around her. Smiling as he closed his eyes.
A/N: Well this was a nice relaxing chapter for Orihime and Ichigo after their first few eventful days here on the island. Even some romance in here :) I picked Divergent as the movie they were watching, because I just watched that last night.
