Chapter 8

"Kono, please." Cath grabbed her wrist as she walked by and looked into her face with tear filled eyes, "Please, don't leave."

"Come on Cath don't look at me like that." Kono frowned.

"Please." Cath said softly, as tears began to roll down her face.

"Cath... Please don't cry..." Kono pulled Cath to her and engulfed her in a hug, "I'm right here, please don't cry. I was wrong this isn't your fault."

Cath looked up at Kono, "Please, don't leave me."

Kono wiped the tears from Cath's cheeks, "I'm not going anywhere." She said kissing Cath's forehead, and pulling her back into a hug.

Kono woke up the next morning in Cath's bed but Cath wasn't there. A quick search of the bedroom and master bathroom turned up empty, so Kono made her way into the kitchen.

She found Cath cutting fruit, dressed in a crop top and short shorts. For a moment, Kono just stood there watching her beautiful girlfriend and wondered why she could've ever thought of leaving.

Kono walked across the room and wrapped her arms around Cath's waist.

"Morning." Kono said softly.

"Morning sleeping beauty." Cath said.

"Hey, that's my line." Kono said, and Cath just giggled. "What should we do today?"

"You ask me that every day." Cath replied.

"I'm really bad with thinking of stuff to do."

Cath placed the knife down and turned around to face Kono, who's arms were still around her waist, and wrapped her arms around Kono's neck. "How about, since I taught you how to ice skate yesterday, you teach me how to surf."

"But you already know how to surf."

"Not well."

"Okay, surf lesson it is." Kono said kissing Cath.

*H50*H50*H50*H50*H50*H50*H50*H50*H50*H50*

The surf lesson went really well, Cath picked up on everything really quickly. Now Cath and Kono were getting shave ice.

"I'm paying." Kono said.

"No you're not, I am" Cath replied.

"Cath."

"Kono."

"I told you I'm paying."

"And I'm not letting you."

"Your so stubborn."

"So you're gonna let me pay."

"No, I said your stubborn not that I'm letting you pay."

"Fine, rock, paper, scissors."

"Fine"

"1...2...3..." They counted in unison.

"Ha, paper beats rock I win." Cath said.

"Ugh."

After they bought their shave ice Cath and Kono took a walk along the beach. Talking about anything, that came to mind.

"Have you told your parents that... You know... Your dating a girl?" Kono asked.

"No, I was going to do that sometime before I go to see them next week. Ooooohhhh you know what? You should come with me."

"I don't know..."

"It'll be fun, please."

"Fine."

*H50*H50*H50*H50*H50*H50*H50*H50*H50*H50*

While Kono went home to shower and grab more clothes, Cath skyped her parents.

"Hey, sweetheart."

"Hi, Mom is Dad around."

"Yes, do you want to talk to him?" Cath's mom asked, "Jared, Catherine called!" was yelled towards the doorway.

"I want to talk to you both actually."

"Is everything alright sweetheart?" Jared Rollins asked as he came into view.

"Everything's good, more than good in fact. I was just wondering if I could bring someone when I come to visit next week?"

"Of course, who is it?" Her mother asked.

"My girlfriend Kono."

"Ooo exciting."

"You guys are okay with this?"

"Of course."

Just then the front door opened behind Cath.

"Oh, hey Kono come here." Kono came and sat next to Cath on the couch, "this is my mom, Caroline, and my dad, Jared. Guys this is Kono."

"It's nice to meet you." Kono said shyly.

"It's nice to meet you too, I can't wait to see you in person next week." Caroline smiled, "oh look at the time, I'm sorry sweetheart we're going to have to go."

"Okay, bye" Cath shut the laptop.

"They seem nice." Kono said. "Did you tell them?"

"Yes, I did."

"Good" Kono kissed Cath's cheek.

"What should we do for dinner?"

"Um, how about we take a trip to the store, grab some ingredients, and cook together."

"That sounds perfect."
