Bring Back The Summer

And I never, I never want another.

Come back, come back to me, my lover.

I never, I never want another.

Bring back, bring back, bring back the summer.

Bring Back The Summer - Rain Man/OLY

The late summer sun begins to fade from the sky, bringing an end to the final day of their time together having to return to their own dwellings. Leifang throws on her black hoodie as she sits with Hitomi on a large beach towel.

"It is a little chilly tonight," Leifang says as she threads her arm through the second sleeve.

"That is why I have jeans," Hitomi answers. She moves over closer to Leifang. "We could cuddle a little if you want."

Leifang ponders the offer for a moment. She leans on Hitomi who wraps an arm around her shoulder.

"Better?"

Leifang feels the warmth of Hitomi, making her feel more comfortable. "Yes."

They listen to the sound of the waves coming into the shoreline. The refreshing sea air flows into their nostrils. A few minutes later they are approached by Helena. They look up to the blonde who leans towards them.

"What a nice sight," Helena tells them. "Having a good time?"

Leifang wipes a bead of sweat from her forehead. "I could lay like this all night."

"Well then you would miss the fun."

Hitomi sits up slowly. "Fun?"

"Oh yes," Helena answers. "There is going to be a little gathering tonight before everyone heads home."

"Oh," Leifang adds as she sits up next to Hitomi. "That does sound like fun."

"When?"

"Sunset," Helena answers. She looks out toward the sea. "And it looks like the hour is approaching."

The pair follow her gaze as Laifang leans into HItomi. A small orange hue flows over the sky from the remaining sunlight. Helena folds her arms in front of her as they take in the sight. "Shall we?"

Leifang rises to her feet and extends a hand to Hitomi. "Let's go."

Off in the distance, the area is aglow with flickering lights. They head over to find the party underway. The dance floor is filled with other girls already flowing with the music. Hitomi lets out a giggle as she pulls Leifang onto the floor. She begins to move around in sync with the rhythm.

"Wow HItomi," Leifang observes. "You can move."

Hitomi gives her a grin as she motions toward the group. "I can't let them outdo me."

Leifang follows HItomi's lead and the two move around the floor. They flow quickly with the rhythm of music around the other girls. As each new track comes through the speakers, they adjust to the rhythm. From quick and upbeat, to slow and smooth.

Hitomi holds Leifang close as they sway calmly side to side. Leifang feels Hiotmi's breath on her ear, causing her to shiver slightly.

"Hey," Leifang breathes out. "Are you doing that on purpose?"

"No," Hitomi replies. "Why? Does it tickle?"

Leifang pulls back slightly. "Yes it does," she replies. "But it does feel good."

"Oh yeah?" A grin forms on HItomi's face. She runs her hand up Leifang's back. "What about this?"

Leifang feels HItomi's body pressed against her. She tenses up slightly, then relaxes back into their rhythm.

"This should help you stay warm," Hitomi says.

"Yes," Leifnag replies as she buries her nose in HItomi's shoulder. "This is nice."

They move around the floor together, keeping close proximity to each other. Their breaths synchronize with their movements as they seem to float. Hitomi gives Leifang a gentle pat across her back.

"This is what I needed," Leifang says. She glances up to the star filled sky. A spec of light flies across the heavens, making her let out a low whistle. "Look at that."

Hitomi turns her head and spots it before it fades away. "Did you make a wish?"

Leifang gives her a small peck on the cheek. "I already got what I wanted."

"Oh, isn't that cheesy," Hitomi replies.

"Yes it is," Leifang says. "But it is true."

"That is good."

Leifang's eyes seem to sparkle in the lights of the venue. Hitomi gives her a bright smile as they continue to flow with each other. "You sure look good tonight," Hitomi says with a low voice.

Leifang tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. "Oh," she says. "Thank you."

"Just thought I would state that."

From beside them there comes a whistle from Tina. "Oh look."

The two feel many pairs of eyes fall upon them. Leifang begins to redden slightly from embarrassment. Hitomi gives a little laugh through her closed lips. "You don't have to be uncomfortable," she says. "Just try to relax. Follow my lead."

Leifang takes a breath and loosens up her posture. She begins to sway slowly as holds Hitomi a little tighter. Hitomi guides her with a few slow steps around the floor. "I thought you would be more comfortable with this."

"Yes alone," Leifang responds. "Not when all these people are around."

"Is that what you want? Would you be more comfortable?"

Leifang watches Hitomi who gives her a reassuring smile. "Yes."

Hitomi pulls back and takes Leifang's hand. "Then let's go."

From across the room, Helena watches the pair swiftly make their way out. "There goes the first two."

"Oh yeah?" Kokoro responds from beside her. "Who?"

"Hitomi and Leifag," Helena responds.

"They need some time alone." Kokoro says.

Back down on the beach, Hitomi stands with her bare feet in the shallow water. She splashes about on the cool liquid as Leifang watches from behind. Hitomi stares out across the vast body of water. "Will this be a better venue?"

"As long as you are here with me," Leifang answers as she walks up next to Hitomi. "It doesn't matter where we are."

Hitomi holds out her hand. "Then shall we try again?"

The Chinese girl slowly reaches out to take it. Hitomi pulls her close and the two stand together. Leifang places her other hand on Hitomi's shoulder. Who wraps her arm around Leifang's waist.

"Shall we take it slow?" Hitomi gets a slightly surprised look on her face as Leifang begins to move about the sand with elegance. "What is this?"

"This is us together," Leifang answers with a smile. "Alone."

They glide across the sand as the moon shines down upon them. Leifang sticks close to Hitomi in a slow steady rhythm. Her long brown hair sways back and forth along with her movements. She takes in Hitomi's scent along with the salty sea air.

"You are going to need a shower after we head in." Leifang runs her fingers through Hitomi's hair. "You feel a little sweaty."

"Shall we?" Hitomi looks up toward the moon. "It is getting late."

"This has been fun, hasn't it?"

"It has been nice seeing everyone," Hitomi responds.

Leifang reaches to take Hitomi's hand. "You will stay with me tonight? Won't you?"

Hitomi gives it a squeeze. "Of course." She gives Leifang a kiss. "I am not going anywhere."
