Chapter 6
Cath awoke the next morning, cuddled up with Kono. As surprised as she was, she didn't move. It was the 1st time Cath had felt content in months.
Kono began to stir, and slowly blinked open her eyes.
"Morning" Kono grumbled.
"Morning" Cath sleepily replied.
"I say we take a shower then go get chocolate chip pancakes."
"I like it, but I'd also like to just lay here." Cath said moving her head to rest on Kono's shoulder.
"Come on lazy, it'll be fun. We can make it a date."
"Are you asking me out?" Cath giggled.
"Yes." Kono said pressing a kiss to the top of Cath's head.
"Fine." Cath grumbled, "but I'm not taking this shower alone."
"I won't object to that."
*H50*H50*H50*H50*H50*H50*H50*H50*H50*H50*
The pair arrived for pancakes a little later than expected but got their pancakes none the less. The meal was filled with laughter and subtle flirting, as two held hands underneath the table.
After pancakes Cath and Kono took a walk along the beach. Talking about anything and everything.
As they reached a more secluded stretch of beach Kono pulled Cath down towards the water.
"What are we doing?" Cath asked.
"Just wait."
"I'm not a patient person."
"I noticed." Kono laughed as they stopped at the waters edge.
"Now what?" Cath asked.
"This." Kono cupped Cath's face in both her hands has she leaned down to kiss her. To Kono's surprise, Cath kissed her back instead of pushing her away.
When they pulled away, Kono rested her forehead on Cath's.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" Kono asked hopefully.
